My nightmare turned lover

Chapter - 28

***************************************

Astha's POV:-

" I need time to rethink my decision. I want the wedding to be postponed." Saying this I was about to turn and go when he caught hold of my hand. His temper again rose and for the first time I know the reason behind it.

" Oh no love... this wedding will take place at it's destined time and till then...you will be with me in my pent house." Saying this he threw me on his shoulders and started walking.

" Put.Me.Down." I shrieked but he gave me a block ear.

" I said put me down or else....or else..." I tried to find something to warn him with. " Or else I will shout."

He chuckled and I was able to feel the vibrations.

" Shout as much as you like my love. Everyone is inside probably enjoying the time of their lives with loud musics and scrumptious food. They won't come out from that party soon."

" But where are you taking me?" I asked in horror. From the events of this evening I know that he can do anything because he is deranged.

" As I told you before, you will be in my place till the wedding is over and after that we will live happily ever after in the penthouse I bought for our wedding life." He said and hurled me down on the shotgun. He then tied my hands with the dupatta I was wearing and got on the driver's seat himself.

" Abhay you are scaring me. Leave me please...I promise I will not run away and will marry you tomorrow." I said because life is more precious to me then my pride. I am sure that if I keep protesting further, next I know I am in heaven looking down on my dead corpse.

" I don't believe you Astha." He said while focusing on the road ahead.

And just like that, me pleading and him refusing to let me go we arrived at his place. He was going to turn off the engine when his phone rang. His eyes widened looking at the dialer screen. I hope it's the police. They might somehow have find out that I was missing and was being kidnapped by my own fiance and are coming to rescue me. I looked up and prayed that it should be exactly that case. But my prayers were denied instantly when he uttered the first word.

" Ma... what happened?" He said looking at me. If I shout now will aunty be able to hear it? And most importantly will she help me and go against her own son? Since it is next to impossible and the chances are big that Abhay will kill me after that, I decided to keep quiet.
" Yeah she is with me. Hmm... okay. We just came to eat ice-cream." I rolled my eyes at that. Yeah ice-cream!
" Okay I will bring her back soon. Ummm....on second thought why don't you all go now and take a good rest. Tomorrow is a big day you will need your strength for the day. I will bring back Astha safely. Don't worry.... Yeah I know...I will let her take her beauty sleep...No late night chatting...hmm... okay... Yeah will do that. Bye Ma." Saying this he disconnected the call while still looking at me.
" She is worried about you." Smiling he lifted me up again and started walking.

Once we were inside he gently placed me on a bed...his bed probably! My heart started racing very fast at this. No...he can't be thinking anything like that right? I looked down at my tied hands...I am really defenseless if he attacks me now. I looked at him scared. He slowly started inching towards me more. I gulped and closed my eyes. Please lord save me now. Please...

" No need to be scared Astha." He whispered smile on my ears. His lips slightly touching them.
" I will never hurt you." Saying this he removed himself from me abruptly. I looked at him. His face was harbouring the expression of pain. I mentally scoffed at that. He is one hell of an actor!

He untied my hands.

" Don't think of running from here Astha. This place is surrounded by my guards. They will catch you if you do so. I'm releasing you from these knots but know that you are tied to me for eternity." He warned and then went out closing the door shut.

Once he was out I breathed an air of relief.  'Relax Astha..relax. You are safe for the time being. Calm down and start looking for a way of escape.' My brain suggested.

Now with my hands untied I am free to plan my escape. What a fool he is to leave me here unguarded! I laugh slightly.
' You are a fool Astha. Remember he told you that this place is full of guards.' My brain chided at my foolishness.

Okay, okay...so what can I do now? I looked here and there. While scanning the door. What if he left it open. Nah.. he is not a fool to do that. But still if he did left it open? I can try my luck here.

So with little hope I went towards the door. I chanted a quick prayer and then turned the knob. And lo! It opened! Oh my god, I can't believe God is listening to me so quickly today. I quickly opened it and then stepped forward.

I looked at my surrounding. Okay so from where to start first? Thinking of trying the main door first, I dashed towards it. With my success rate so far I am pretty sure that this time too I will not face disappointment.

So with all the bright hopes I turned the knob. Once, twice and then a couple of times more but it didn't clicked. Okay so he is not that idiot to have left the main door opened. He is smart.

' Stop praising him Astha! Remember we have a mission to accomplish.' My brain, always the reasonable one barked.

I started scanning the rooms one by one. Nope not a single hole is present here through which I can get out. All windows shut and all possible ways of escaping too. The doors leading to the balcony too was shut tightly like even air was forbidden to enter here.

Sighing I plopped down on the living room sofa. I am really trapped here.

Out of frustration, tiredness and despair my eyes again started to moistened up. I was on the verge of a full blown crying scene when suddenly something clicked on my brain.

I dashed to the room where Abhay first brought me. I opened the bathroom door and ran towards the toilet.

Nope I am not thinking of going through the flush system and the toilet pipes like Harry Potter did if you are thinking like this!

I put down the toilet lid and then stepped on it. There! Now I can reach the window completely. I scanned it's side. One of the perks of being rich. You can have windows as large as an elephant. I slowly removed the glass panes from there and was about to jump out of the bathroom window when I heard a loud bang. I frozed thinking that one of the guard who probably found me getting ready to escape had shot me.  I waited for the pain to set in but it was taking long. Suddenly when I was waiting for my upcoming death a voice echoed in the room from my back.

" What on earth are you doing?" The all too familiar voice was enough to chill me, right to the bones inside.
