D car halted with a forceful break n d doors were swung open. Taani shuddered in fear gasping d fresh breathe. D hair on her neck stood straight realizing d gun's mouth pointed at her nape was attempting to sink into her flesh. Suddenly, d breezy singsong of open wind transformed to a hot wail of harassment. D continuous sweat beads exuded straining all d energy of her body. She belched in pain as someone pushed her on d rough floor, by d touch she could feel it was a sandy ground. Immediately, an image walked behind her n untied d rope knot on her hands, also removed d cloth on her eyes. She batted her lashes to accept d dim light after her sight occupied in darkness for long time. She softly tilted her gaze scanning d surroundings in exasperation. Her mouth went dry seeing d 3 similar faces grinning stood in front of her.

"Remember our TLG? U were absent in d city for past 2-3 days, so when we found u alone sitting on that desolated ghastly space, we thought to play along. So, how was d game babez?" winked a slender figure kneeling at Taani.

Taani immediately recognized her. She was d same girl Taani had seen in Taanz profile, a photo of girl sitting as a natural spirit angel in d meadow, one of d Taanz BFF, Sharonjeeth Singhania aka Shar.

"We thought to play even more......." Another girl confronted "but u were seriously about to pass out" she chuckled. Taani's heart flinched. It was another BFF of Taanz, Vrushika Raiprakash r Vrush.

"U were afraid of this, sis" one more voice giggled revealing a trended cosmetic lipstick enacting it as a gun by triggering her through it. Taani sniffed in bewilderment. It was Taanz sister, Ash Shekawath aka Ash.

OMG! Shar n Vrush, n Ash is here, they r seeming so happy without me. But, wait a second, they r thinking Taani as me? How could they? Don't they c d difference. At least I didn't expect Shar n Vrush to spot Taani as Taanz, they r my BFFs but still. All d 3 were playing prank on Taani considering her as me. But anyhow, in least case Taani is in good hands now.

"Hey buddy, speak up na" Shar gave an hand to Taani making her to stand straight.

Taani felt everything as her delusion. She wanted to speak "U-bitches-is-this-a-joke-for-u-all" but her throat throttled back. Now she understood, all of these 3 were thinking her as Taanz. May be, they always behaved as such in their high life society.

"Hey guys.............i'm not" Taani urged to protest but Vrush cut her short "Now, no more delay. Let's get off from here"

"where?" Taani's vice trembled reluctantly pouring out her confusion.

"Now don't tell me u have forgot things related to Jay" Vrush mocked Taani in annoyance making a red bull face. Taani didn't understood Vrush's cold statement but she shrugged it since she had already stuck in d hell mess.

"Oh come on sis! U were planning from a month to attend d party of Jay's parents wedding anniversary. Don't fool us with ur amnesia k" Ash snapped.

"Jay? But......." Taani croaked. "No buts n ifs darling" Shar grabbed her to d car in urgency.

"K wait..." Taani requested Shar to unleash d hold on her arm. She picked her cell from d back pocket n typed "HEY, UR FRIENDS GOT ME. THEY R ASSUMING ME AS U N THEY R NOT READY TO LISTEN TO ME. THEY R TAKING ME TO SOMEONE CALLED JAY'S PARENTS WEDDING PARTY. I WILL TRY TO MANAGE UNTIL U R BACK. SO PLEASE, COME SOON."

"What's wrong with u Taanz? U r using some QWERTY cell phone! Where is ur black-berry?" Shar questioned trying to take d phone from her. "Just like that" Taani quickly slipped it into her pocket not letting others to doubt.

"Sis, r u gonna attend d party in this denims n t-shirt? Moreover, I never seen u wearing such clothes" Ash growled. Taani tugged her gaze from her top to bottom searching for an explanation.

"Never mind, I got some extra clothes. She could have a make-over in d car." Shar grinned in genuine ecstasy.

"Whatever. Let's hurry now. Hop in" Vrush ordered honking d horn by sitting in driver's seat.

Wow! It's Mr n Mrs.Khurrana's anniversary. Jay would be annoyed to d pit not finding me r hearing from me from past two-three days. I'm not with him to celebrate it, could it get any worse. My friends couldn't recognize me, what happens when he c Taani? Will he think her as me? I can't stand a choice to c him with my sister. I know, I'm being selfish even after d lifeless body but he's my BF after all.

They reached to a big hotel. Ash sprouted out of d car n ran into her old friend. Taani got off amused at her view in d car's window glass. Her ponytail hairs were curled into Maggie noodles, her cheap denims was replaced with shot thigh length silver gold party wear bejeweled by golden beads across d collar of it which gave an output of golden diamonds. Her herbal face painted with mild make-up squeezing d beauty to look charming.

Taani exactly looked like me. No wonder, y none r able to distinguish her. Moreover, now she's an exact clone of me. There is no single hint to differentiate Taani from Taanz. If I was alive, I wouldn't be surprised if we played along.

"Time to get in" Vrush pondered.

Shar on one side n Vrush on d other side armed Taani n marched making exception of Ash. Every looks on d way froze at these 3 barbie dolls. They walked as a fashion models on d ramp. Ironically, Taani empowered Taanz attitude involuntarily snuggling in d middle couch of clique. She squinted across, surprised by d attention she was getting. A guy in his black tuxedo sipped d wine lustrously blocked them. He knit his eye-brow at Taani with a smug smile.

"Take ur time" Shar smirked at him n Taani, shambling away with agitated Vrush. "Hey..." Taani called out to stop them but they had already gone.

"Finally, u r here. I missed u." he put his one arm across her waist n pulled closer. D other finger dancing on wine glass raised to Taani's face stroking her cheeks fondly. Taani shriveled back in uneasiness which shocked d guy.

"U okay Taanz?" he concerned holding her one shoulder. She fluttered remembering him. He was Taanz BF Jay. He was getting all romantic with Taani because he thought she was Taanz. A pang of guilt hit her for standing even closer to him n for walking into Taanz life even if it was temporarily until Taanz show-up.

Even Jay misunderstood her as me. It's not that I'm blaming Taani but seeing my BF with my sister n that to so close, it's really disturbing.

"Sorry" she apologized. "Uncle n Aunt just left d party." he noted. "Uncle n Aunt?" Taani looked up to him in confusion. "Ur parents" he smiled giving 'what's-wrong-with-u-look'. "K. Where's ur mom n dad? Let me wish them" Taani distracted him escaping herself from messing up d situation. He leaded her to his parents.

I couldn't hold back my smile at Taani. She had managed d Taanz reputation excellently even though she felt uncomfortable in some scenarios such as being around Jay.

Jay excused as some friends swayed him away. Taani was waiting for this chance to get out of this high class party, wandered out d hall inhaling some fresh air across d light sparked garden. There was a single guy sitting on d bench watching a kaleidoscope. She was amused to c a handsome young guy deserted to greenery whilst there was a party going on in. She lumbered up to him in amazement. He sloped d instrument n looked up to her throwing a dazzling beam.

"Party is going on in, what r u doing here?" Taani seemed like questioning him instead of questioning herself.

"Mrs.Taanz Shekawath is talking to me?" he blurted. "I must be joshing" he twitched his head in shallow, as if he was camouflaged in hallucination.
