Hidden Plan

Malini is busy attending the phone calls; it is peak hours for her. So many customers are placing orders. She can't even drink her coffee placed on her table.

On the other side, her personal mobile phone was also ringing. Yes, her boyfriend was on the phone. Suppose she picks his call, he will not disconnect for a couple of minutes.

Actually, she is waiting for his call. They have been in love for the last five years, but their marriage is not taking place as they planned. Of course, they have taken permission from their respective parents.

Since they both belong to different religions, either of them should be ready to convert from their religion. Both the parents are adamant about this matter.

Malini is doing a small business from her house. After her graduation, her parents didn't allow her to pursue higher studies since her father was financially weak. Moreover, her father became sick and is bedridden.

Her boyfriend, who is a major raw material supplier to her business, often came to Malini's business place. Frequent meetings between them developed close intimacy.

Sometimes Malini used to borrow money for her business from her boyfriend. Both came to understand that their wavelengths were matching. They thought both of them could lead a better life after marriage.

Now to decide who should convert to the other religion. Both parents told them who should be first. But both of them could not take a decision.

Her boyfriend has a sister, and her marriage is getting postponed for some other reason. The boyfriend is not ready to marry unless his sister's marriage takes place. It is his responsibility to get her married off.

Actually, both of them decided to elope and get married in some far place and subsequently surrender with any of the parents.

Eloping was suggested by her boyfriend. He thought after the marriage she could be forced to convert to his religion.

When he suggested this idea, Malini was ready. The next moment, she managed her emotions and started to think.

For the last twenty-seven years, her parents have taken care of her. They gave her studies and pampered her well.

Now she is reluctant to leave her parents, that too with her father in a deathbed and mother with several age-related sicknesses. At this stage, she doesn't want to leave her parents. Slowly she started to realize that she is after lust.

So many friends have told her about the love stories that happened in their families. It is all for money and gold the girl carried when she left her parents.

As soon as the stock of money and gold vanished, the lover left the girl in search of another affluent girl. This is the present status of being loved.

Slowly, Malini picked up her phone to answer her boyfriend. She politely told him, this is not the right time to leave her parents. Further, she said that she will try to convince her parents, and once they're convinced, she would again call him and fix the marriage. Until then, she told him to keep the marriage in abeyance.

He was getting wild since his plans are not taking place as he thought. Knowing that Malini has smelt his plan, then it is for him to be careful. So he also agreed with her statement and told her that he will wait.

Actually, his plan is not to wait but to search for another girl.

The End...
