The Devil's Angel (Part 1)

Eloping to India

Tara Pov:

          Once he left my house, I immediately called Garry. He came to my home. "What happened, Tara?" asked Garry.

"Zale, He came here. I tried to make him understand Garry. But, he is hell bend on his decision. I am scared" I said and started to cry

"Hey, come here babies. Shhh, it's okay. We will do something" he said

"Garry, you should have seen him. He is totally different from what I know about him. He is not the Zale he used to be with me" I said and hugged him

"Just elope from here. You go to your mom's place. There you have a lot of people to take care of you" he said

I break the hug and look at him. "Elope? Garry, he gave to two days to decide. You know what he said. He wants only Yes as my answer" I said

"This is the only way we have right now. Leave from here. I will take care of your grandparents and Brother" he said

I think for some time and nodded to him. He helped me to pack things. He drove me to the airport. "Give me your phone," he asked

I gave him my phone. He removed my card and switched off the phone. I looked at him confused. What he is doing? Then he handed me a new phone.

"Keep this phone with you. In case of emergency, call me with this. Don't contact any of your family or friends here" he said

"Why? I didn't inform anyone that I am leaving, Garry" I said to him

"I will take care of that. You be safe there girl" he said

I hugged him and said "Thank you, Garry"

He smile and patted my head. "Go now, be safe" I nodded and went from there.

The plan has been taken off. I sign and lay my head back. I heard someone call me. "Excuse me, Hi. This is my seat" A tall and handsome blond guy said

"Sorry? But, this is..." I took my ticket to check. Yes, he is right. I got a window seat but I am sitting in his place.

I look at him and gave awkward smile. "Ah, I am sorry," I said and moved to my site.

He took his site and introduced him "Hi, I am Roderick Valentine"

"Hello, I am Tara Igor," I said and shake hands with him.

"Indian?" he asked me

"Half. Actually, I am going to visit my family in India. But, I am staying in Texas" I said. I don't know why I am giving those details to a stranger. I am leaving my family and friend because I helped a stranger and now I am talking with a person who I just met.

"Okay, I am going there for work. I am from England" he said

I just smiled and nodded my head. I don't want to talk more. I already have enough to handle in my bucket. I thought he will shut but I am wrong. He was making reasons to talk with me.

I was replaying politely for all the questions he asks. Half of the answer was a lie. Then we were talking about the financial sector where I got interested and started to talk more. He is not bad like I thought. He is friendly.

After a long travel, we reached the destination. "Okay, Take care, Tara. It was nice to meet you" Roderick said

"You too. Take care. Goodbye," I said and took the taxi. No one knows I am coming here. I don't know what Garry said to grands. I hope they buy his lies.

I reached the place. My grandma came out to check the car. When she saw me she was shocked. I went and hugged her. "Patti, how are you?" I asked

"What a pleasant surprise?" she said

She called my Mama and my cousin brother to take my bags. I went inside with them. My chitthi and Atthai rushed to me and hugged me. They took me inside and started to shoot their questions.

"Oh, leave my petthi (Granddaughter). She must be tired" Patti said

"You came at the correct time, Chinnu," my mama said. They call me chinnu. My amma use to call me chinnu. After her, only this family will call me the same.

"Why, what special," I asked my mama

"Your sister is coming with her husband today," chitthi said

"Really? that's great. I thought I should spend my time with these old people" I said with a teasing tone

"Who are old people?" Thatha (Grandpa) pinched my ears.

"Ouch! Thatha, leave my ear. Okay, except you everyone is old" I said.

He left my ear and hugged me. "How are you, Chinnu?" he asked

"I am great. I came here for my project work. Till I complete my project I will be here" I said and break the hug.

"That's great. Come chinnu. Let's get your tummy full" Patti said and pulled me toward the room.

"Patti, Please don't make me fat," I said with a fake cry

"Fat? Do you call this fat? You are so skinny chinnu. You should eat more" she said and dragged me

I can forget everything when I am with these people. I always feel my mom is near me when I am with them. I smile at my family.

She was not aware of the consequences she going to face. What will happen when the devil knows about her missing?
