life goes rollercoaster

chapter -9: This is it

                          Krushi's POV

"See this" .  Abhimaan showed her his phone.
She couldn't believe what she saw .
Everyone of her family was held captive even Sanam too. Some black suits men were also standing behind them with guns pointed on them.
She looked at him with disbelief.
"Hey..... Don't give me that look. It's absolutely real babe. If you want to disagree it's your wish. I will gladly blow off their heads."
WTH is happening.
"You are a psycho."
"Don't dare to raise your voice." Everyone in the room flinched.
"Pritika take her!!"   
"Go!"
Pritika took me from there.

                     Abhimaan's POV   

"You're not doing right Abhimaan." Vishal spoke harshly.
"Who said I want to it right."
"I didn't raise you like this Abhimaan." Maa said disgustingly.
"You are the sole reason for this dad."
Dad pointed at daadu.
"I am really disappointed with you." Dad said.
"Aunty uncle, I am sorry. I won't attend this marriage anymore." Vishal joined his hands and said.
He walked away with Anu aunty. Mom dad too went out.
I am sorry. I know this is wrong but I don't have any other solution to it. If those business deligates come to know that my supposed bride ran away this will cost our reputation  in the market. People will call names to Kriya and I don't want that. It's the least I can do for her even if it costs her sister's future.
Daadu squeezed my shoulder and assured me. Wish everything will fall to its place again. I hope it happens soon.
I went to the priest. On the way I saw one of my bodyguards was crouching while other held a tissue on his nose.
"What happened?"
"Sir she kicked him down there and punched him on his nose and about us she kicked me and punched him on his hand." I don't know what to say. Poor guy ,he can't even stand properly. Too fiesty.

                  Krushi's POV
I rushed into the room and threw whatever came to my way. I just wanted to supress my anger.
"You will regret everything Abhimaan Baraskar." I screamed on top of my voice. I fell down. Tears were not stopping from my eyes. Everything seemed blurry.
Pritika, Abhishekh , their parents rushed into the room.
Someone hugged me tightly.
"I am sorry my child. Please forgive me. I couldn't do anything."
It was Abhimaan's mom.
I detached myself from her and stood up.
"You shouldn't be sorry Mrs. Baraskar. It wasn't your fault." I said wiping my tears harshly.
"How did he know?"
                       
                          Flashback

                     Pritika's POV
"Wear it Krushi. You won't want that bhai would come and make you wear." she snatched away the dress and went to the washroom.
Yes I am a girl too, how can I see another girl's life getting destroyed. Bhai is wrong.
Krushi came out. Her face was swollen. Nose was red.
"I will help you." She shot up her head and looked to my direction with wide eyes.
"Yes I will help you." I said again assuring her.
"Thank you so much. I don't know how to -"
"Thank me later. I will distract those bodyguards and you go from the backyard. Hope you never come back."
"I won't." She said smiling.
I called one of the bodyguards inside.
"Bhai is calling you."
"But ma'am I didn't get any calls from sir."
"He said he tried your phone but it was not reachable."
He looked unconvinced.
"Do you think I am lying? Ok get ready to loose your job then."
"Ok ma'am  I'm going." Saying he went out.
Yaay. I feel as angel in mission. I did a happy little dance.
"What about the other one?."
"Wait."
I called the other one inside the room.
"You come with me. I have to bring some things for the bride. Her dress is not fitting and I have to carry the vanity bag and you carry the bridal dress."
"Ma'am she is wearing one."
"But this one is not fitting to her. Her blouse is too loose and we have attached the pins. She is so uncomfortable. Let's go quickly. Bhai may come  anytime and if he sees that his bride is not ready then he will get angry. And you know how his anger is , right?"
I could see him gulping. OMG I never thought he will be this scared. I am evil. 😈
"Ok ma'am. Let's go."
"Yes." I turned to Krushi and winked and went.

Within few minutes I returned to the room.
"I hope Krushi goes far away."
Not even 10 minutes passed properly bhai barged into the room.
"Where is Krushi!" He asked angrily.
Damn I never thought he will come this quick.
"I asked you something Pritika."
"Bhai... That... Krushi.."
"Why are you stammering? You helped her right!"
"No bhai."
"Right. Then he is lying!!"
"But you know what. I knew this will happen so I already fixed had fixed a small tracking device in that bridal dress. And how can you forget I can have her phone traced."
Holy cow. I never expected this coming. Bhai you are a real villian.
"Phone tracing is not easy to do. It can take hours." He glared at me. Thank God I am his sister orelse he would have killed me.
"Sir what will we do now?" one of the two bodyguards asked.
I seriously want to kill this dumb person.
"Let her enjoy her little freedom for now."
After 10 minutes passed.
"Go "
"Bhai you will regret." He ignored my words and went away.
I followed him incase he gets more angry and turns the world upside down.
He went into the room where all were there. He called some bodyguards.
"Krushi ran away. But. Don't worry I have her location and she will be here in few minutes."
Her family were more sad then ever. Her father was sweating profusely.
"Take them and keep them in captive till I tell you. And take care of this Sanam guy PROPERLY."
The bodyguards took them.
"I regret being your friend Abhimaan." Vishal bhai said.

               (Still in Krushi's POV)

I felt so hopeless. I never felt this hopeless in my life. It felt so much of a nightmare. I should probably sleep. Maybe I am too tired of the exams and practicals. When I wake up everything will vanish.
I felt someone's hand on my shoulder.

                   Prakruti's POV

I kept my hand on her shoulder. She looked at me. Her eyes were so dead. As if there was no hope. Abhimaan what have you done. All are questioning my upbringing. I never taught you these my boy.
"For my family and Sanam."  She said.

                  Krushi's POV
I will do this for my family. For my Sanam.
"For my family and Sanam."
Mr. and Mrs. Baraskar looked at me pitying. I hate that look. Never in my worst dreams I thought someone would give me that look. I looked away.
Pritika nodded and did my make up.

        (Flashback from Chapter 1 ended here)
Looked at mirror. The girl whose reflection was in it looked beautiful but one thing was missing her smile.
I always had imagined myself getting ready like this for Sanam.
After 1hour which felt like eternity, a girl came and said the priest is calling.
This is it.

================================================================
Get ready with tissues. Wave of sadness is coming.
