Author's Pov

"PAKDOO MERI DULHAN UTHA LE GAYA!!!!" Mad bull shouted. His face contorts with rage as he watches Rajveer run off with the bride. He quickly turns to his father, demanding action. "Baba, order your men to catch them! Bring her back here now!" He turns back to the mandap, his eyes burning with fury.

[Catch him, he ran with my bride]

Rajveer was running with the bride. Only he knows she's Aarushi and others are thinking she is Kashinath's daughter. Sarpanch's men were behind them and they were running at their fullest speed to catch them.

"Kalesh karne ka theka le rakha hai tumne?" Rajveer panted while running.

[Have you taken a contract to cause trouble?]

"Jaan bach gayi toh zarur bataungi pehle bhaago!!" She replied and held his hand tight while running.

[If we stay alive I'll definitely answer your question for now, run!]

Soon the villagers and sarpanch's men surrounded them from everywhere. Mad bull storms towards Rajveer, his face flushed with anger. "How dare you disrupt my wedding and abduct my bride! I should kill you right now for this insult!"

"Give her back to us!" Sarpanch growled out.

"She's not your bride!" Rajveer shouted back. He lifted the veil from her face. "She's my wife!"

Sarpanch's eyes widened in shock as Aarushi's face was revealed. He turned to Mad bull, his expression grave. "where is Preeti...?" He paused, his mind racing with questions. "She's his wife?"

"Where is Preeti?" Mad bull asked looking furious.

"She must have gotten into her flight till now!" Aarushi smirked at him. Sarpanch's face became furious hearing it. "You helped her to run away right?"

"I did so what? You can't destroy her life. Shame on you Bastard!" she scoffed at him.

Mad bull's face turned purple with rage. His hand instinctively went for his gun strapped at his side. "YOU DARE INSULT MY FATHER?" He cocked the gun, pointing it directly at her. "For that alone, I should shoot you!"

Rajveer slowly stepped in front of Aarushi, shielding her with his body. He looked up at Mad bull, his gaze unwavering. "Dare to pull the trigger and you'll be pulled off from this earth!"

"Then die together!" Just as Mad bull was ready to squeeze the trigger, a loud bang echoed through the courtyard. Everyone froze. To his shock and horror, he realized the gunshot hadn't come from his own weapon. Kashinath, holding a rifle stepped forward. "ENOUGH!"

Mad bull swung around, staring at Kashinath. In his fury, he had momentarily forgotten the old man's presence. The shock of seeing him lower his gun, though his finger remained tense on the trigger. "Kashinath?"

Kashinath's face stern as he trained his rifle on mad bull. His voice was firm, leaving no room for argument. "Lower the gun, Now." His finger tightened on the trigger, a silent warning.

Mad bull chuckled, "I'll give you a choice. Leave from here and I won't trouble you and your daughter anymore. Because now I want this girl as my bride!"

Kashinath's hand loosen around the gun before turning towards Aarushi, "I'm sorry" he said and started walking away.

"How can you do this! I helped your daughter!" Aarushi shouted. Kashinath ignored her shout, his mind made up. He walked back to his car, leaving them behind, unprotected. Mad Bull's laughter echoed through the village, his greedy eyes fixed on Aarushi. "Insaaniyat ke naam pe dhoka milta hai. Ab tum meri dulhan banogi!"
