Tara's Pov
I came out of haveli dressed in a simple suit, Holding a small bag in my hand. Chestha guided me towards a gate. We reached the backside of haveli. This place is very deserted. Since everyone is busy with the preparations, no one is here.

A small black servant car is parked at some distance. We move towards the car. An old man hurriedly came out. He tried to take the bag from my grip. "No thanks, it's okay", I refused politely. Since he is so old, I couldn't able to hold him my luggage. He didn't protested ahead.

"Take her to railway station, and come back as soon as possible. I don't want anyone to suspect you", Chestha instructed him. That man nodded in response. He is one of the most trusted men in our family, I wonder what Chestha has offered him that he is convinced to go against Baba.

I sat inside the car. "I have kept a bundle of money in your bag, that would be more than enough to reach Mumbai. Be careful". She told me through window.

"Drive fast and carefully, soon they will know about her departure and then it will be big disaster for me to handle", she told the driver and he start car. One last time I look at her and the haveli, that was my house. Tear collected in my eyes. I glanced at the haveli one last time. Because after my this act my father will never accept me. He will cut all ties with me.

"What you mean she is not in her room", Payal asked in worry. "When I entered the room, her jewellery and cloths were lying on the bed. But there was no traces of her", servant whispered fearfully.

"Call Balbeer bhaisa immediately and search her in the haveli, don't miss a single corner", she instructed the servant and ran inside the haveli.

"Chesthaaa,, I will not spare you this time", she declared while standing in the middle of hall. Her steps turned towards Chestha's presence. She broke the glass painting in frustration.

"Maa, what are you doing. Please leave it. You will get hurt", Chandni came worriedly. She tried to remove the piece of glass from her mother's hands. But in return, her mother yanked her away, as she fall on the floor. "Move away, you useless thing", Payal growls at Chandni.

"What happen Payal, why are you roaring at an innocent girl. What happens to your motherly love now", Chestha Mocked from distance.

Payal looked at Chestha with her deadly glares. "You-you made her escaped, right", she asked while pointing a finger at Chestha.

Chestha showed a invisible smirk to her. "What are you saying Payal, who is escaped", she spoke very innocently.

It's been one hour since when I am traveling in this car. The view of city is left behind, and the terrible site of a dense forest is come in front of me. Our car is traveling on a deserted road which is covered with the forest from both of its sides.

"How much long will it take to reach railway station", I ask him. "Bas hum pahunch hi Gaye choti kumarisa", he is saying this from past half an hour. But his reply is very hard to digest for me.

"(We are about to reach)".

Suddenly with a hard jerk the car stops and I got thrashed to the front seat. My head got scratched and a drop of blood came out of it.

"I am sorry kumarisa but it seems like the car has some issues. We need to push it from back".

"Push it from back, but who will do this. No one is seen in the this forest". I asked with questionable look.

"Sorry to say kumarisa but you have to do this. These old bones have no strength to push this huge vehicle". I am not convinced to him but he is right. Whether I accept it or not but I have to do this. He is very old, he can't push the car. And to reach the station I have to do this. My family have known about my departure till now, and baba must has sent his men for my search by now.

Agreeing to his words, I stepped out out from the car. He tried to start car but it didn't work.

I moved towards the back of the car and tried to push it, but it didn't bulge a little.

"Kumarisa try again, with some more force. I know you can do this", he tried to motivate me.

I again pushed it with more force. And it does move a little. He start the car and it worked but after some moments it turned off again. The smile which was about form on my lips disappear before it's arrival.

"Try again kumarisa", he spoke loudly.
I nodded in response and again pushed the car with more force than previous.

The car started. That lost smile again came on my lips. It start moving. Just then I am about to move towards the door. It start moving. That smile lost again and frown took over its place. After moving some hundred meters it stopped. I thought maybe he is testing the car. But everything got shattered when he take out his hand and drop something on the road and left.

He left me, in the middle of night, on the deserted road, inside the forest. Floor slipped under my foot. I ran behind the car. No he can't do this. Before I could understand anything, he is already left.

I ran behind the car and stop at that spot I saw some money and a slip. I bend down to pickup. Opening the slip, I saw its a note.

"So, sorry kumarisa. I had no other way. I am in a need of money. That's why I did this. But don't worry, railway station is not so far. You can reach there. I am leaving this money so that you can have your ticket. Once again I am really very sorry."

His words left me broken. This can't happen. Where would I go now. I sat in the middle of road.

After some time, I decided stand up and start walking ahead. I can't be here anymore. This dead forest is killing me. The sound wild animals is scaring me like shit.

After walking some distance, my legs gave up. I can't walk. So, I decided to take rest. I sat on the near by rock and start praying to God that, maybe I got lift.

Another half an hour passed. But no person could be seen near. So, I decided to walk again.

After walking some distance. I heard some strange noises. May be someone is near. I fasten my speed. Reaching there I saw some boys.

With a hard slap she fell on the floor. She turned towards the owner of the cause. Only to grabbed by her hairs. He bring her face nearer to him. And spoke devilishly, "where have you sent her?". His tone is dangerous like a wounded lion but it brings no effect on her.

"So far from your reach", she replied fearlessly, which make him more frustrated. But she remains in her posture.

"She is not your daughter", he make her realised, but she still doesn't change a bit.

"What will we do now bhaisa. Will you break this alliance? This wedding is very important to be held. You have promised my late husband that, my son is the only heir". Payal asked.

Balbeer leaves Chestha as she fell on the floor. "No this alliance won't break", he replied to Payal and call a servant to bring Virendra and his family.

After some moment Virendra arrived in burning rage. "Why is it taking so much time to bring the bride?", He asked.

"She is not here", Balbeer replied emotionlessly.

"What!", Virendra asked with frown.

"Wo vivah se bhagg gayi hai", Balbeer replied.
"(She ran away from the wedding)".

"Yadi yeh koi majak hai, toh bahut hi bhadda majak hai", Virendra replied while gritting his teeth.
"(If this is joke, then bad joke)".

"Kya hum tumhe majak karne ki stithi mei lag rahe hai", Balbeer roared.
"(Do I look in the position to crack joke)"

"Agar dulhan nahi hai toh shaadi kaise hogi", Harish Thakur, Virendra father spoke angrily.

"No bride, no wedding, no alliance", Virendra declared.

"You can't break this alliance so easily", Balbeer warned him.

"I can to be not sasurji", Virendra replied sarcastically. Chestha smirk to his attitude where Balbeer is burning in anger and Payal is beyond shock.

"If you don't mind, can I say something", Payal interrupted their conversation. Balbeer hummed in replied.

"Tara is not here but Chandni is. If you have no issues Chandni can take her position. She can be your bride".
