Perminder ji : Don't create a fuss ...... when we reach the hall get ready ......It's your mehendi function  .......

Sana : What !

Sana : What do you mean by it's my mehendi
.....?

Perminder Ji  : You have understood my words perfectly what I have been trying to say Sana......

Sana : What the heck is this ..!........ I'm already married .......

Santokh Ji  : Then why is he calling himself as your fiancé.....?

Sana : Because we want to get married once again and this time we thought of having all the rituals that's it ......

Santokh Ji : See Perminder...... I told you my assumptions are right ....... I thought right that they aren't married yet .....

Sana : For god sake papa everything is not just based on your thoughts in this world.....

Perminder Ji  : I don't care about the past ..... you are getting married in three days and that's it. ......

Sana : You know that the world doesn't work based on your delusional thoughts right......

Perminder Ji  : You should know a fact Sana that the parents are always right .......

Sana : No they are not .....

Perminder Ji  : We are ....... We are worried about your future .......

Sana : Yeah so worried how to destroy my well settled life ........

Santokh Ji  : I don't want to hear one more word from your mouth .......

She scoffed hearing them practically trying to prove to her that their delusional believes are the proper ones .........

Thinking that this sick joke is needed to be shut just now she turned to look out of the window and take out her phone to call Sidharth when suddenly her mom snatched her purse from her hand ..... 

Sana : Give my purse bag mumma......

Perminder Ji  : No .....

Sana : Give it back just now .....

Perminder Ji  : I won't you will leave us if you have this with you ......

Sana : I'll leave you guys even if I don't have it with me ......

Perminder Ji : You can't after all you'll get married to the man selected by your father......

Sana : Nah .... never ....... I would rather die.....

Santokh Ji : You ungrateful Bratt....... you pay back to us this way after we invested so much on you through out those years ......

Sana : You are saying as if I didn't pay you back with my money for the last few years . ....?

Sana : It's okay ...... you can take my phone I don't care but before that ........

Saying this she snatched away her bag from her mother and took her phone out while pushing away her mother with one hand while taking out the Sim card and SD card before logging out of the phone and switching it off ......

Sana : Here take it ......

Sitting there quietly her mind raced thinking how can she reach out to her love and family ...... She knew she did a big mistake believing her parents but what could she do .......

After all she now understood that they conveniently played with her emmotions ........ She knew what she was about to do and that made her feel a little more calm than she was earlier ......

Reaching the ceremonial hall they got out of the car and walked inside .....

Santokh ji : Chandni beta show your sister her room ......

Chandni : Sure uncle .....

Holding her arm Chandni led her to a room on the first floor ......

Chandni  : Here this is your room Sana di ......

Sana : Thank you baccha ......

Chandni  : Fast fast go inside ...... you even have to get ready .......

Sana : Uh ......

Chandni  : Aunt has already brought dresses for you so don't worry  ......

Sana : Hmm.....

Going inside the room Shehnaaz smiled at the teen girl once before closing the door and waddling inside like a lost cause ...........

Sighing heavily , she flopped down on the bed staring up at the ceiling while her mind raced with questions and uncertainties.......

What if  her plan doesn't work ? How was she supposed to call Sidharth and inform him about her situation .....? Could she ask for help from someone ...? What would Sidharth think ....?

Her mind once again resurfaced the memory of how her family manipulated her while she was being an emotional fool.........

Tears ran down her face the moment she realised that they took advantage of her love towards her grandparents...... She has always been close to them and that was the point they took advantage of .......

Wiping away the stray tears she got up from the bed and went inside the washroom to get freshen up for the night .......

Santokh Gill

Executing the plan was the hardest when we were in front of that Sidharth Shukla ...... That man is a walking nightmare and am sure that he knows that something is going inside my mind but let's give him some benefit of his doubt......

After all I know my daughter would actually get married to the guy I fix for her ...... If she thinks that she is old enough to take her own decisions then she is really wrong .......

I know that she loves being a family person and can't bear the fact of being disowned by her own father....... That's the reason I waited for so long ......

You tell me why won't I take the opportunity when I know the moment this marriage happens  my ticket to the election is confirmed........

The moment  Perminder informed her about her wedding I definitely got to know that she has changed over these past few months ...... After all the girl who would have taken hours to express her views , making sure that none gets hurt from her words quarreled with us , telling us how wrong are we .........

But tell me how can a parent be wrong ...... With satisfaction in my heart I finally instructed Chandni to show her the room she'll be staying in for these three days ......

Sitting beside my brother in one of the halls my mind raced thinking how could I stop if that powerful guy try to take away my daughter......

Yes I should think of it even after knowing that I have taken her phone ...... I don't believe on that man after all he is a big star and can have huge connections , may be more than mine .......

Finishing the cold cup of tea in one gulp I got up from my seat and took out my phone ........

Phone Call 📲

Santokh Ji  : Hello .....

Person : What is it ?

Santokh Ji  : Make sure that there's no flaw in the plan after all we are doing everything against Sidharth Shukla ......

Person : I know but make sure you have the security on high alert after all his dogs are already here ......

Santokh Ji  : What !

Person : Yes ...... What did you think ......?

Person : You'll bring his wife and he won't even send his security details with her huh ......

Santokh Ji  : They are actually married ?

Person : You are a fool if you think that your daughter isn't married to him .....

Santokh Ji : Then what should we do .......

Person: Just pray to God....... Hope that they aren't married legally then there won't be any problem ......

Santokh Ji : Hmm.....

Santokh Ji : I don't think they are legally married after all my daughter isn't even throwing a tantrum after knowing that she'll get married to you in three days .....

Person : I hope you are saying then truth otherwise .......

Santokh Ji : There's no other wise here ......

Santokh Gill POV ENDS

…

…

…

Shehnaaz got freshen up in the washroom and cames out to get her inner wears ...... Opening her suitcase she started to find something she could wear when her hand touched something cold ........

Moving the clothes aside she was shocked ......

Sana : It's a small key pad phone ( she whishpered  )

She sat down on the floor with a disbelieve look on her face before a wide smile grew on her face ......

Sana : He knew ........

Sana : Thanks Waheguru .......

Sana : This is the reason I love him so much ......

Picking up the phone she opened the back cover and inserted the Sim card before dialing his phone number ........

Phone call 📲

Sana :  Um.. Hi ....

Sid : Are you okay baby .....

Sana : I'm.....

Sana : You knew right something was going to happen ?

Sid : I had my doubts and you just made it clear ......

Sana : Today's my mehendi ......

Sid : What are you upto .....?

Sana : I have a plan ......

Sid : You don't have to do anything ...... I'm sending my people,  come back with them ......

Sana : Nope ...... I'll come when the time is right ......

Sid : You  made a full proof plan ?

Sana : Hmm .....

Sid : What do I have to do ......?

Sana : Just send your men to the address at the exact time I tell you .....

Sid : Okay.....

Sid : You are going to apply mehendi ?

Sana : Yup ..... with your name on it .......

Sid : They'll know it .....

Sana : Nah ...... sometimes give some credit to your wife too .....

Sid : I do that all the time . ......

Sana : Let's hang up now ...... take care ....

Sid : You too love .....

Sana : I love you too ....

Hanging up the call she knew that the person on the other side was finally sure enough to confess about his love for her now .....

Switching off the phone she hid it inside the suitcase before taking her clothes and running inside the washroom ........

She was wearing a magenta coloured lehenga when she came out of the washroom and stood infront of the vanity ....... making a low bun out of her hair she finished doing her natural makeup before wearing her statement ear rings .......

She really regretted  coming here now but what could she do after all she became too emotional the moment she heard about her grandfather......
Her head stopped working and couldn't grasp anything after that .........

The only thing that was going inside her mind  was whether it was the last time she'll meet her beloved family member ?

She just let out a sigh and was about to put the bindi on her forehead she she heard the knock on the door .......

She opened the door about a minute later and found her mother along with her cousin sisters standing there ......

Sweety : You're looking so beautiful di .... 

Chandni: I wish when I grow up I become like di .......

Perminder Ji  : We don't have a lot of time to waste girls ...... let's go and finish the functions as soon as possible......

Sweety : Sure ...... let's go Sana di .......

She was accompanied by both her cousin sisters to the dias where her sitting arrangement was made .......

Chandni  : Here didi ..... We have brought the bride ......( she told the henna artists )

Shehnaaz sat down on the sofa and looked at the two woman infront of her talking to the young teens while they instructed them about the designs ........

Henna Artist 1 : Okay ma'am we'll do it just like that ......

Both of them turned towards her and looked up at her .....

Sana : Do I need to take off my engagement ring ?

Henna Artist 2 : It's better if you take it off ...

Sana : Okay .....

She took it off and then her dainty chain she always wore before looping it through the ring and wearing it back......

Sana : Here now you both can start .....

Henna Artist  1 : Sure ......

They placed a cushion on her lap before starting to make intricate designs on her hand .........

She was sitting there idle when a couple came towards the dias ......

Sana : I missed you Dadi....

Grandmother : I missed you too my darling .....( she said caressing her hair )

Grandfather  : See our little one has grown up so much in these few years .....

Sana : I'm still your little girl dadu ......

Grandfather  : I know that ........

Grandmother: That's actually the reason we love you so much ......

…

…

…

While she was having her mehendi done Sidharth sat down with his family members for a talk in the livingroom ......

Rita Ma : How is her grandfather beta ?

Sid : He's good after all nothing happened to him .....

Neetu Di : So why did they take her ?

Sid : To get her married to the other man ......

Abhinav  : Those people are nasty ......

Neetu Di : They played with her emotions .....

Rita Ma : Then get her back .......

Sid : She has made a plan and we going along with that .......

Raghav : What if that fails .....?

Sid : I have my men staying in the building opposite to the ceremonial hall ......

Abhinav  : That's good.....

Rita Ma : Is she going to elope .......

Sid : Only time will tell mom ...... ( he looked qt her with a smirk )

…

…

…

It was already an hour after the henna artists started doing their job when her family was enjoying , dancing and singing in happiness.....

Henna Artist 2 : So what is the groom's name ?

Sana : Write Sidharth and please hide it well ......

Henna Artist 2 : Sure girl .......

Sana : By the way thank you so much for your hardwork guys ......

Henna Artist 1 : Don't mention ...... it's our job ......

Sana : By the way these looks bomb ......

Henna Artist 2 : Thank you .....

She leaned back quite a few times during the entire session and looked tired with droopy eyes making her look sleep deprived  .......

As soon as the ceremony ended she let out a sigh of relief before looking at her sister with longing eyes .....

Sweety : Here Di have this food and then I'll help you to get to your room ......

She fed her the food before taking her back to her room. ......

The very next day passed by like a blink of an eyes with just the chunni ceremony where she was needed to be present ...... Although disgusted by the people she sat there silently through the process before returning to her room and sending a quick message to Sidharth with the address and the time .......

…

…

…

It was 7 in the morning when she woke up from her sleep .....

Sana : So this is my wedding day huh ......

Sana : I guess let's play along before I can get back in the arms of my man .......

Getting out of her bed she dashed inside the washroom to finish her morning routine .......

Taking a shower she came out of the washroom and got ready in a Punjabi suit when she heard the knock on the door .......

As soon as she opened the her cousins entered inside the room ......

Balvinder: Sana di ..... let's go ....... we are getting late for chooda  ceremony.......

Sweety : Let's go di ..... you know I have seen those beautiful chooda and want to have something like this when I'll get married ......

Sana : You know you are too young to plan your own wedding right ....

Sweety : Areh ..... di .......

Gurneet : You are looking pretty di ....( complimented her 10 year old cousin sister )

Sana : Thank you so much sis.....( she said kissing her cheeks )

Sana : Let me just dry my hair ......

Chandni  : I'll help you......

Sana : Thank you so much ......

Chandni  : Mention not and settle down ......

She sat down on an ottoman and let her cousin dry her hair while she did her minimal makeup and wore her ear ring ........

Chandni  : Done ......

Balvinder : Let's go. ......

All the cousin's along with her came downstairs and settled down in the dias ....... Her maternal uncle sat down infront of her with the box of chooda the moment they came inside the room .......

Maternal uncle : Sweety beta please cover her eyes ....... she isn't suppose to see these now ......

Sweety : Sure ......

She came and stood behind shehnaaz before covering her eyes while her uncle made her wear the chooda and her sister made her wear the kalire before covering her arms ........

They fed her some sweets and blessed her to have a happy journey ahead in her life......

Aunt : Go and take some rest....... The girls from the parlour will be here at 3 pm .......

Sweety : Okay ...... I'll take di with us mummy .....

Aunt : Sure and let herhave some rest ......

Sweety : Of course......

Cousins left her in the room and went away in the mean time she packed a small bag for her with all her essential things and placed it inside her suitcase so that no one suspects .......

Seeing her mehendi she felt what if this was their original wedding ...... What would have happened then ? She didn't know why although she was going to go back to her family , the man she loves the most but somewhere her heart was feeling uneasy ........

Shaking her head , ignoring her intuitions she sat on her bed and switched on her phone before dialing Sidharth's phone number ......

It was the third ring when he received the call .....

Phone Call 📲

Sid : Hey baby.... how are you ......?

Sana : I'm fine love ....... we just completed the chura ceremony and they asked me to take some rest before the makeup artists arrive ......

Sid : When are you leaving .....?

Sana : At the exact time .....

Sid : Okay then ...... I'll be waiting for you in the airport......

Sana : Mumbai Airport...?

Sid : You'll get to know it soon ......

Sana : Hmmm......

Sid : Do you like the traditional bangles you are wearing .....?

Sana : I haven't seen them but I think I do like them ......

Sid : What are you gonna do with them ?

Sana : Pack them and bring them with me
......

Sid: Okay .....

Sana : I should hangup ...... I can hear some footsteps....

Sid : Sure go ahead .....

She hung up the call before switching off the phone once again and keeping it inside the bag pack ......

Laying down on the bed she looked up at the ceiling when some stray tears feel down from her eyes ........

She was really not happy when she thought of destroying her fathers reputation but what could she actually do after all she wasn't going to destroy her life because of some sick happiness of her family ......

She didn't even realise when he dozed off to sleep when she heard her cousins shouting from the other side of the door .......

The makeup artists along with her cousin took charge to get her ready for the day ...... They did her makeup and hair before asking her to get dressed ........

Sana : Sweety go and get ready yourself ...... I'll call you after I wear the lehenga ......

Sweety : Okay ..... I'll go ahead you take your time ......

Shehnaaz stood up from from her seat to go and close the door ......

Bolting the door shut and checking it twice she went and wiped away the makeup and changed her hairstyle before taking off the chooda and kalire and placing it in a box and stuffing it inside her bag .......

Entering the washroom she changed her clothes and wore a comfortable short kurti and wide leg jeans before taking out her phone and wearing the bag pack ......

Phone Call 📲 

Sana : Are you guys here ?

Person : Sure ma'am......

Sana : Is there someone in this area ...?

Person : My people are standing near your balcony .......

Sana : Thank you.......

Declining the phone she moved towards the balcony .......

Santokh Gill

It was already evening and all the guests are already here ......... I was really relaxed after knowing that Shehnaaz has already got ready and waiting in her room ......

Although my family wanted to have this wedding in the Gurudwara but Karanveer's family wanted different ....

I sat down along with the groom and the priest in the dias to start with the rituals before the wedding commenced ........

Priest : This is done Mr Gill ......

Priest : Please ask someone to bring the bride .......

Santokh Ji  : Sure .......

I looked at Shehbaaz and asked him to tell his cousins to bring Sana ..........

Waiting there for quite a few minutes I looked at the others ......

Karanveer : Where is your daughter Mr Gill ?

Santokh Ji  : I....... I'm......

Karanveer : Where is she ?

Turning my head towards the front door I saw someone running towards us ........

Sweety : Uncle ....... ( she huffed)

Sweety  : We can't find Sana di ........

Relative: What !....... The Bride's missing .......
