" What is with this backpack? " Saavi frowns.
" If we couldn't sit in the same car. Our personal group. make sure no one sees your messages. " Sas says. Sim nods immediately.
They two are saying as they have planned something big, " What have you planned? '' Saavi stares at them.
" We're running, " Sim says under her breath. My body stiffens, " We're going to shop, " She says out loud.
" And ice cream. We should have fun before our marriage, " Sas giggles.
Sim joins her. Saavi and I exchanged a confused look, " Why? " Saavi asks, her face is a perfect picture of a shock. I'm still trying to digest her

I saunter toward that man who made Saavi cry. At my sight, his haughty, boastful expressions change into horror. He rushes at his car stumblingly. He is looking behind me as he has seen a ghost. His face turns white. Awkwardly, he gets in his car and ignites it. He Is still looking at me. He hit his car into the street lamp' pillar in terror. My mouth gaps. I turn. They have astounded expressions on their faces too. Yuvaan is attending another call. This man is not fed up with attending it. Achraj and Aasif are also busy on their phones. They're acting as nothing happened. " What have you done? " I stare at them. " What are you talking about? " Achraj gets on his feet and walks toward his car. " I can hope. You don't wanna continue your game. " Aasif gestures at the grilled toast. Sa

There is dead silence and fear in the air. Achraj's family belongs to the Mafia world. Our families work for them. That's the reason. Sas and Saavi decided it. I keep staring at the vast land out of the dull red door of it. " Who gave you this? " Saavi asks, raking her finger on the expensive chain. I swallow hard and bite my lower lip. I'm still not ready to tell her. Shouldn't we concentrate on our plan of running away from our families? " I know, she's hiding something from us. " Sim says, thinning her lips. Believe me. I wanna tell you all but after seeing his menacing look. After knowing from them about our families. I'm not sure about him. Is he only a businessman? His posture at the dining table last night says another dark story.

I feel goosebumps on my skin. He trails down his hand on my arm while putting me down on the mattress. There is no one in the house. They are either shopping or preparing for upcoming weddings. My mind is still stuck there. "What will you do to him?" I couldn't help asking him again though I know the answer myself. His jaw tightens. He stares down at me. The magic I felt before. It puffs. My heart speeds up a little, "Rest," His voice is so calm and threatening it sends quakes down my spine. He turns toward the door. I turn my attention to the floor. I'm perplexed with so many feelings, thoughts. His powerful nature can't rule me. I don't wanna fear him, my husband. It's not permanent. I remind myself. I don't allow him to have this sort of power over me or by anyone. But I like it from him. I've my si

His eyes were glimpsing with possessive glint. He left me last night with wandering thoughts. I'm concerned about how this will happen? We could elope yesterday. He picked to come back here. He's the bravest man, he's the king of a huge menacing group of people. I palm my forehead. He has hired a personal beautician for me. I'm not looking at the same girl I saw myself in my daily life. I swallow hard as I gather my thoughts together. The ends of my hair are curled, makeup is giving me a look of a celebrity. The pistachio and golden lehenga is heavy with heavy embroidery work on them, with net dupatta and yellow and white roses' jewellery. "Wow! So beautiful! " Saavi says and hugs me from behind. She is looking so glad. This smile comes on her lips only when she gets the most wanted thing. I giggle, "Than

My arms and cheeks are covered with Haldi and milk' mixer' paste. Saavi and Sim are smiling ear to ear. But I'm not sure about me. I don't know what I'll do when I'll part from him after divorce. He has promised me a house. I can do a teacher's job. I can come back home. My family will take me in. But what next! They will think about my remarriage. I don't want an arranged marriage. I glance at my father. He smiles at me. I smile back. They don't know I'm married. Yuvaan could tell them. He did not. My family is happy but I could not push away unsettling feelings when I found fear in my father's eyes. When I wake up every morning, I'm used to them being around me, this will change!

All were looking too excited today. Sim was wearing a blush pink lehenga and Achraj matching sherwani. She was looking so happy. I couldn't ignore Achraj' gaze on me while laavans. My heart shudders at the thought. I saw true love in his eyes. I hope it won't affect their married life. I'm worried about Sas but also relieved that Saavi is going to live with her. Sas, she's the prettiest bride and her mother-in-law is a beautiful and kind person. I'm still shocked. I'm trying to wrap my mind around what just happened. After signing the marriage papers, I was still feeling single. But now, we're married after the ceremonies. My heart is still beating in my ear. It's true. My unmarried life is over.

I look outside the window. The sunlight is bright. The sky is clear. My heart, it's feeling so much pain. I should be with my husband. We were going home. There's no sign of hope. Deep down I know, he'll come for me. Everything is going to be perfect. I didn't cry. But I want to shout as loud as I can in agony. So it could reach him. My inside is clawing at me, scratching the walls of my heart, telling me to run away from here. Eleanor is a sweet girl. She kept the worries away but for a short time. I can feel that emptiness "Love," Sas softly says in her sweet voice. "Good morning," I glance at her. The blurry sight of my tells, I don't know that it's there.

It's silent. Sas leans against the wall and keeps her eyes out of the window, "The glass is thick. We can't break it. There's no furniture. Otherwise, we could take its help." Sas says. The remaining furniture is locked with a wooden floor. "Lay down," I told her. She whirls to see me, "I always think you are strong. You proved it today." She says. There's only sadness in her eyes. "I can't mull over what I don't have now. I've reason to be strong." I look at her. "I don't know. what would they do to us?" Her chin begins to tremble. I hurry at her and fold my arms around her, "They'll come for us." I promise her. This hope is giving me strength. He won't dare to harm us. He wo

His car stops in front of a mansion. His man opens the door for us. He climbs out first. I step out of the car behind him. He buttons his coat as he looks at the entrance as someone is waiting for him. I hold out my hand. Sas immediately wraps her fingers tightly around my palm. "Where are we?" Sas asks, digging her slender fingers in my palm. "My home," He says and takes long strides to get in. My heart is slamming against my chest. It could be dangerous too. Jack comes behind us. Sas refuses to move. I'm also afraid. Once we get in. We'll be at his mercy. He could do anything. I can see guards around us and his mansion holding their guns. "It must be his daught

Gradually my consciousness returns. My head is pounding. It's hurting and feeling as it will burst. Instead of a valour mattress, I'm feeling cold hard metal beneath my body. I can hear muffled crying. I know this voice. I recognized it immediately. I wasn't sure. I was dreaming or it was reality, someone was injecting me. I couldn't decipher, couldn't see him, it was dark around me. I can hear some mumbles too. But that isn't my concern for now. My concentration is on the familiar voice. I snap open my eyes when I hear my mind shouting at me that Sas is crying she must be in trouble. I squeeze my eyes again against the bright daylight. My heart is pounding in my ears. I blink rapidly, adjusting my sight against the bright light. Am I dreaming? I don't remember coming here.&

I swivel to face him. When Kadam told me she slipped in the washroom. I ask Vikas to tell the Pilot to be prepared. It was going to be six weeks. I was getting details of her every move. I'm not regretting my decision to start her training. It didn't merely distract her but she could keep herself safe. She's suffering from a high fever. The doctor has injected her. Ammi insisted that we should stay here until she gets well. It's not good for her health. She needs rest. She looks happy around her friend's company. "It can't be just Sunny. He's not powerful." Aasif swirls around the chair. He pulls me back from my thoughts. I clench my hands and stare out of the window, "He'll die but not open his mouth. His family is at stake.

That night I fell asleep with his arms around me after our making. His arm is locked around me. I look for my clothes and his arm around me stops me from moving. I glance at his shirt on the marble floor. Pushing myself ahead, I try to grab it. My fingers still couldn't reach it. I watch it with a slight furrow between my brows. I tried one again. His arms tighten around my waist and tug me back to his hard chest, "What are you doing, Love?" He asks in his sleepy soft voice. Swivelling my neck I look at his face, "It's going to be seven. We need to dress up." I say. I push the locks of his dark hair away from his face, "Am I going to see your beautiful eyes?" My voice is barely above a murmur. He snaps his e

I stare at the roof, toying the hem of my blanket. I rushed to my parents home after climbing down the helicopter. I didn't dare to look at my phone again. It beeped and rang many times. I ignored it. The door of the room is still locked. Momi and aunts have knocked on it many times. I have a mystery to solve. I'm damn sure. It was a female voice, but I couldn't recognize it. Whoever it was, she's so clever. The scary part is I doubt it to be from our family. And they! They asked for Sas and me to go come with them. Whoever is she/he? She isn't a fan of Aasif and Yuvaan. Who could be? Only Aasif and Yuvaan can reply to me. I try to get my full attention on it. They are related. Aasif and Yuvaan, I've seen his family pictures with Yuvaan. The

I park the car behind his car and stare at my clutch in my lap. I take out my phone, stepping out of the Jeep. I hit on his number when there was no message on the screen. My heart begins to thud loudly. It's unreachable. I bring it before my eyes with pursed lips. I try it again. I stare at Kadam. He stands tall inspecting the surroundings, "Do you need to tell me something?" I've strong feeling. He knows. "Yes, ma'am. Boss will be busy." He says. I glance at him for more. He turns back to check the surroundings. I shake my head, "That's it?" I ask him. "Yes, ma'am." He says. I purse my lips again. When was he going to tell me? I click o

His lips curled up in a smile as he declared last night that we're going to his farmhouse. I force myself out of the single bed. Something strange happened. I grab my phone with a full grin on my face. It drops. He didn't message me today. He didn't even call. He has changed. Did he find someone? I shake my head. It's a bad feeling. I'm not gonna go through it. I step out of the bed. I try to focus on other things. I'm going to a farmhouse with them and I'm gonna see guava orchards, lemon orchards and vegetables. I doll up into a blue blouse with puffy full sleeves arms and a black shirt with a slit. I curled the end of my hair. Momi helps me to do the makeup. I'm determined
