The Unrevealed Mystery

39. Dress selection.

___

In the next moment everyone was dancing, eating and enjoying. I sat down with Mr. Agrawal and close family members on one table. Everything was being served to us one after the another. There were many dishes whose name I had never heard before. Everything was vegetarian and not even one non-veg.

The rest of the day I and Mr. Agrawal were busy talking and attending guests. We didn't get any time to talk to each other. I thought about confessing my feelings to him but was waiting for the right opportunity. I was being introduced to rest of the family members.

I got no family and I didn't know how badly I needed one until I met Mr. Agrawal's family. Everyone welcomed me with open hands. I was scared at first for me and Mr. Agrawal jumping in to marriage again and things being not so well between us. But me and Mr. Agrawal were bombarded with plenty of gifts, flowers and cards but most importantly blessings and love.

"Come Kiara... We got to do many things today." Steffi said taking me away from Mr. Agrawal.

"What things?" I asked Steffi.

"Instead of bachelor party or sangeet (music) function we have organised a boat party." Steffi said making me walk into the mansion along with her.

"We gotta decide your dress too." Steffi told pulling me along so that I walk faster.

"But what about the guests?" I asked her.

"Am sure your future husband and my husband will handle it." She told. I remembered Mr. Agrawal introducing me to Mia's dad ,that is Steffi's husband.

"Where are we going?" I asked confused.

"Just walk Kiara." Steffi said. I did as she told. She seemed to be in a hurry. We got into my room and there was a man sitting there surrounded by Mr. Agrawal's in-laws.

"Ohh.. The bride is here..pretty..very pretty ." The man said walking towards me and glancing me up and down. He acted kind of girlish.

"I have the perfect dress for her but before that,I need to take her measures." That man said removing a measuring tape from his pocket and started measuring me.

"Why boat party? We are anyway getting married day after tomorrow." I told Steffi. She looked at me as if I am crazy.

"Do you know today how much difficult it was to stop the media from getting in? Till date you are all over the media. Who is that mystery girl? Whom did the hot billionaire got married to and many more like that." Steffi said out of breath.

"Ohh.." Was all I could say.

"So have a look at which dress you like the most." Steffi said making me sit. While me and Steffi were talking that man took my measurements.

"Here." The man who was a designer handed me a book.

"No use seeing those designs. I already know which one will suit her the most." The designer said.

"Which one?" Steffi asked.

" here. " the designer scrolled down something in his phone and showed it to Steffi. She gasped seeing the dress

"Show me too?" I asked seeing Steffi's reaction.

"No! It seemed like you weren't that excited about the party. So let it be." She smirked."Even it'll be a surprise for you what you are gonna wear." Steffi said.

"That's not fair." I complained.

"Everything is fair in love dear." She said dramatically. I rolled my eyes at it. After few more minutes of listening to them talk about the matching jewellery and heels, they left.

I thought of going down and talking to Mr. Agrawal and his relatives. I had to talk to uncle John and his family also. Even Jake seemed quite busy playing with his in-laws during the ring ceremony. Jay wasn't even trying to mingle and him not liking mine and Aarav's engagement, was written all over his face. Cai was mingling with few relatives and even Rey and Rina.

Rey and Rina together are the best couple ever. I thought. They are fun, happy and lovey-dovey. They are and always will be perfect for each other.

I lay down on my bed and started thinking all the stuff that happened during the engagement. I was lazy to change my clothes or to remove my makeup.

"Kaya, go kaya go, run away. Daddy will be alright." My dad shouted. I was crying. There were two of them , the goons and they were stronger than daddy.

Then what I saw scared me for the rest of my life. They pushed my daddy down from the bunglow terrace. I saw the goons pushing daddy down our bunglow and I was just 10 steps away from them, still helpless.

I uttered a scream that no one have heard, painful than any scream ever heard.

I just heard daddy's last word. Go! and I knew I would have to run. I ran through the stairs from my terrace to the ground floor. Twice they were about to catch me. But due to my tiny size I managed to escape.

As soon as I reached out of my bungalow I started screaming for help from my neighbourhood.

"Help..!! My dad... They killed.... Help me... Help me..." I cried out as loudly as I could. I know that the goons were following me and it was too dark. I ran towards the woods. I ran and ran as fast as I could.

I screamed out in pain as a knife passed through the skin of my leg, causing a gush of blood to seep through my lacerated skin. The rusty blade of the knife caused my entire leg to feel as if a thousand red ants were biting at it repeatedly, and I felt my heartbeat quicken. A hand held me down as I tried to wrench free from my captors.

I have to get out of their hold. 'Go kaya' dad's last words circled through my mind endlessly as I burst free from the arms of the goon. A burst of energy rippled through my body as I tore away from my captors and towards the awaiting forest.

I looked around the dark, damp forest for any sign of human life.A hot searing pain twisted through my body and I winced in pain.

My leg was injured. I was soaked through to the bone and it hurt to even move.

CRACK

I whipped my head around at the sound.what was that?

I tried desperately to crawl away, but my strength failed me. A dark shadow stood over me and my vision started to go blurry.

"Someone save me please." Those were my last words.

A cab's siren was heard around then and the goons left losing the hope to find me. The goons went back to my house to search for Krystal.

"Anyway it's the last time I will be with you.." Krystal said those words looking into my eyes.
