A Taste Of Love

Joya

I warned him not to go there. Still he stands up and went there. Is he dumb or what? He will get us in trouble. What should I do?

They talked a bit but all of a sudden one of them pull out a knife. That's what I was warning him about. Damn, he is gonna die!

No I have to do something!! But what?? Without second thought I ran up to him, pulled him by his arm. And started running like It's not tomorrow.

Like no I don't want any trouble. If he dies here for sure I will be in trouble. And I also can't let anyone die in front me.

I looked back and those creepy man was still running behind us.

"Ahh, why this man's still following us? What to do?", I said still running.

Then suddenly he grabbed my hand and leaded the way. I don't know what to do? I just followed him.

Now I can see his face in the moonlight. He is pretty much tall. He has dark brown eyes. His hair style just perfectly compliments his face features. He was wearing a grey trouser and blue t-shirt.

Then he stopped running. I also stopped. I looked in front of me. There I saw a pretty big house. It was a beautiful house. He again lead me to that house.

" wait..wait..whose house is this? Why are you taking me there? I don't even know you?", I panicked.

"It's my house. And I can't leave a girl alone in danger.", he answered.

We were already in that house. It's really so beautiful from inside. There I saw a beautiful girl around 17 or 18 came from the stairs.

"Why are you--who is she, brother?", she asked coming to us. She is his sister.

He looked at me like he has also the same question,'who am I?'

How dumb am I.

"I..I am Joya..Joya khan. I am not from this city. I..I..", I was hasitating like should I say to them that I ran away from my wedding.

"Calm down. We are not gonna eat you. Sit at the couch. Drink some water.", he said calming me. I was wondering why they are so helpful to me. They don't even know me.

I slowly went to the couch and drank some water. That girl come beside me and started comforting me.

I again started speaking,

"Today..today was my wedding. It was..was a forced marriage. My..my dad forcefully wanted me..to marry his boss for their own profit. And that old man was already married with 2...2 wives and he also had 5 children. I...didn't...didn't want to marry that old man. So I...I ran away"

I started crying.
