Chapter 27

Tara pov

Looking around the house, it was clear that they had a tight security. How I am going to cross that gate !? It is still a mystery for me. But I will escape. I have to before I loose my chance.

Vimla maasi.. Where are you? I need your help. I hate these bad people. And that devil, he is very bad. He is forcing me to marry him. I don't want to marry. And I will not marry.

I already changed my morning clothes to an another simple salwar kurta. It was the first time I wore this kurta so that no one could recognise me in it.

Hiding behind the elegant pillar, I searched for anyone who could notice me. No ! The people who were present in the hall were busy in doing wedding preparation, they are new and they don't know me. Infact they had not seen me even once. It means that I could easily escape from here without anyone noticing me.

I slide me dupatta over my head, carefully hiding my face behind the veil and stepped out from that elegant pillar. Very carefully I walked towards the main door of the house, hoping that no one could catch me.

" HEY YOU LISTEN !" My heart stopped when I realise a feminine voice directed towards me, and that too a familiar voice.

Vimla maasi ! Please help me !!

My heart was beating fast. It was crying in dread.

I turned around with the dupatta still over my head and kept mum.

I recognised her as the mother of that devil. I kept mum and didn't dare to open my mouth and speak because I know she will recognise me within a second if she heard my voice.

" Look over there. There are flowers in that basket. Put those flowers inside the praying room. " She ordered.

A sigh escaped my lips as I realise she didn't recognise me.

I nodded heftly and turned towards the direction of the basket.

Hastily I started walking towards the basket but again she stopped me with her voice.

" Wait !"

My heart stopped. What is the problem of that woman? I don't understand. Please god ! Help me !

I stopped right there but didn't turned around.

" Why you put that veil over your head? Slide it down." She ordered firmly.

My heart now started racing with a fast pace. What should I do? Oh god! if I remove my dupatta she would catch me. May be she would tell this to that devil and he would be surely more angered from me.

In nervousness, I started wiggling my fingers, praying to god to do some miracle and save me from my doom.

She forwarded her hand to pull off my veil to which I stepped back unconsciously. I could see her frowning face so clearly through my thin veil.

Again, she stepped closer and reached for my veil to pull it off. My breath hitched, my heart raced in anticipation.

" Meera !" Someone shouted from the behind.

I grabbed the hem of my veil in order to stop her from pulling it off my face.

Whoever the person was, he reached us and looked at me with a frown.

" Meera ! What are you doing here? I told you to go outside and bring those things I ordered you. You are still here. Come on! Go or we are going to be late for all these preparations" He scolded me but still I kept mum.

" Shyam Lal ji, who is she? And.. why she had put the veil over her face?" Aunty asked him confused.

" Mam, actually she is my wife. We people are from Rajasthan. It's a tradition for the women over there to hide their faces and don't show it to anyone. My wife is a bit shy and follows her tradition too well. I think she is the only woman among the staff that had hide her face and follows this tradition by heart." He told her, proudness clearly evident in his voice.

" Oh ok ! " She said and turned towards me,"Well there is no need to hide your face from me Meera but if you feel more comfortable with it, then so be it. Well, I hope you bring all those things to which he told you about Meera. Preparations should be done by tonight."

I nodded my head.

" Good. And you, ShyamLal ji, Please look over the food preparations. I gave you the list what food items I want in the wedding feast. Make sure hygiene should be of high standards. Am I clear?"

" Ok Mam. Don't worry. I am checking all the other staffs as well. Meera why don't you go outside and fetch those things I told you about? Ok !"

In nervousness, I again nodded and walked off from there.

I can't believe god saved me. Otherwise, my escape would have been failed before I could taste it.

I reached the main entry gate of the mansion and again I saw the dreaded scenery.

Lots and lots of security guards were there at the entry gate and  some were surrounding the mansion.

My heart started racing again. How would I be able to escape from here?

I stopped in my tracks, fearing they would catch me.

It is impossible to leave from here surrounded by so many guards.

" Meera ! Why did you stop over there? " That man again yelled at me from behind.

In nervousness, I held on my veil, ensuring to not slide it down my head. My eyes were shut tightly, praying to god to let me leave this mansion safely without any more hindrance.

" Meera, you know Mam will get upset if our work is not on time. Just go to the nearby shop, I have already told you the name, ask him whatever I told you about and bring those things as quickly as possible. Ok?" He ordered calmly.

I nodded.

" Good."

I looked at him. He was signalling the guard to open the gate for me and let me go for the work he told me about.

Guards opened the gates and I swiftly walked out from there.

Walking as fast as possible, I went far away from the mansion. Far enough for them as they won't be able to catch me.

Little did I know that my freedom was shortlived. Afterall, I would not be able to enjoy my freedom for a long time.

Abhinay pov

" Check those files. Next week is an important meeting and I want you to complete your datas and all those presentations before the due date."

" Sure sir."

My one of the employer turned around to walked out of my office.

I directed my attention towards the laptop and started searching for the important details.

There is another meeting coming in my way, another deal, another money package.

I am very sure, my company would the top the charts in the business world.

A phone call suddenly got me out of my chain of thoughts.

" Yes !?"

" Abhi..." My mother's voice was lacing with worry.

" Yes!? Are you ok mom? What happened?"

" Abhi, my son.." her voice croaked, she sound like she was about to cry.

" What happened mom? You sound so anxious. What happened?"

" Beta, Tara..."

" Mom, speak up!"

" Tara is no where around the mansion. I don't know where she went? There is not even a single trace of her. I told her not to come out of her room until the time of the marriage, but I think she just ignored my words and walked out. Now she is nowhere inside or outside the mansion." Her voice cracked.

" Come fast son, I don't know where she went. Tomorrow is the wedding and she is nowhere." My mom sound like she would cry any second.

Anger raised in me, nothing like before. She is nowhere around the mansion. My fist curled more and I was more angry than ever in my past.

She fucking escaped from me.

How dare she?

She crossed the gate of my mansion in  the presence of hundreds of security guard and no one was able to spot her?

She is definity going to see my wrath now. I told her not to do any stupidity, yet she did it !!

She fucking dare cross me again.

In anger, I grabbed my phone and called Vinay straightaway.

" Yes Abhi.. You know I am on the shop selecting your sherwani you would wear for tomorrow's wedding. This is your wedding and I have to select everything. This is just plain stupid....."

"HOLD YOUR TRAIN YOU FUCKING DUMBASS !" I shouted through the phone.

" Oh ! What happened to you so suddenly? Man I am busy in selecting your sherwani and you are shouting at me. You...."

" IF YOU DON'T SHUT YOUR MOUTH THE NEXT SECOND I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU VINAY !!"

He kept quiet.

" Listen to me very carefully. She escaped." I told him straightaway.

For a few seconds there was a silence.

" Wh..what? Who escaped?"

" YOU FUCKING DUMBASS, TARA !! TARA ESCAPED FROM OUR MANSION. IS THIS HOW YOU PEOPLE SECURE MY MANSION !!"

" Abhi.. what nonsense you are talking about? Huh? It is impossible to escape from the mansion. There are atleast hundreds of bodyguard and security guards surrounding the mansion. They would have notice if she escaped."

" Vinay! I am not in a mood for an arguement. She escaped. Did you hear me? SHE JUST FUCKING ESCAPED."

" Ok calm down. I believe you. Okay !?" Now he was frustrated and sounded confused.

" Listen, I want her within next four hour at my farmhouse. She would not be brought inside my mansion. I want her in my farmhouse near that lake. Call all our men, circulate her photographs and found her as soon as possible."

" Ok Abhinay. Calm down. I am going to order all our men to start searching her right away. She won't be so far from the mansion. But you need to calm down first."

I cut off the call without saying anything and started pacing around my office room.

She fucking dared to disobey me. She just escaped. She again told me how weak is my security guard. She entered my mansion with her choice, then walked off from there with her own choice.

And those fucking guards...!! I am going to fire them all. Is this how they secured the place?

Tara pov

Walking as fast as possible, I turned back after every few minutes to see no one is following me. It was about to get dark and I had already pulled off my veil as now I am free from that capitivity. Now no one would be able to catch me. I would reach the orphanage and play with my friends. I hope Vimla masi had come from her vacation.

But luck wasn't my side.

Suddenly, a black SUV stopped right in front of me and few men  in black came out of it.

I looked at them confused. Why they had stopped right here?

Oh yeah ! They might want to go to that shop that was right beside me. Who cares !? I should be on my way.

I stepped forward, looking in front of me and ignoring them.

Out of nowhere, one of the man reached me and grabbed my arm so tightly that I yelped.

" Leave me. What are you doing?"

The people around me stopped in their way and looked at me with their confused gazes.

" Listen girl. Boss is already very angry. Walk with us quietly and don't try to create a scene, otherwise you could face more severe punishment from him."

My breath hitched. They all were his men. And they caught me so easily.

" Leave.... leave me... please.. let me go..."

" Ssshhhhh girl. Boss will have our head if we let you go. Just keep quiet. I don't want you to drag you to the car by your hair. Okay !?"

They were threatening me. Without anymore warning or talks, they dragged me to the car by grabbing my arm.

I wiggled more. I don't want to loose my freedom again. But before I freed myself, something pinched on my right side of the neck.

Next I know, I found myself drowning into darkness as I fainted in his arm.
