48. The Great Escape
While on one hand Shehnaaz was thinking of eloping from the banquet hall after she got ready for the day Sidharth got prepared to leave for Chandigarh......
In the last few days it was a serious headache when he knew that something bad was going to happen to her but seeing her so confident with her plan he didn't convey about his concerns ........
Picking up his phone from the night stand he dialled the number to his people ......
Phone Call 📲
Sid : Hello .....
Person : The condition here is not good sir .....
Sid : I get it after all it's related to the ruling party ......
Person : He is the son of the chief minister .....
Sid : I get it ...... what's the condition of our men ......
Person : They are there but I don't think so it would be of any help ......
Sid : Can they actually bring her to the airport?
Person : I hope but I can't assure you hundred percent.......
Sid : You have already said earlier that although they don't know about the initial scheme but started to track the calls since the morning .......
Person : Yes sir .....
Sid : How far are our men from the location ?.....
Person : Not within 500 meter radius .......
Sid : Fŭck ! ..........
Person : I know that's bad sir......
Person : Although they are assuring ma'am of their presence but we need to tell her about their location as soon as possible ........
Sid : I'll do it ...... Don't worry .....
Sid : I'll tell her at the right moment ......
Declining the call he picked up his wallet and put it inside his pocket before moving out of his office space ........
As soon as he entered the living area his mother asked .....
Rita Ma : Are you ready to go and bring my daughter back at any cost ?
Sid : Yes Mom ..... I'm
Rita Ma : Make sure that both of you are safe ......
Sid : I will .....
Rita Ma : Here take this lunch box and have it when you feel like ......
Sid : Thank you .....
He hugged his mother and kissed on her forehead before leaving for his mission......

Getting ready in her comfortable clothes she called the men once again to get conformation about their presence but the call didn't go through ......
She picked up the bedsheets and started to make a knot on the ends making it look like a long rope ......
Her phone vibrated for a minute alerting her ...... She picked up the phone and saw a message from him ........
@Sid : Sorry to say that the security is really high around the whole area and my men are about 500mts from the hall ..... I'm sorry baby ....
Re-reading the message for the fourth time she exhaled loudly before looking at the ceiling ......
Sana : I knew that my plan wasn't as good as I previously thought about it to be but now this ......
Sana : Waheguru please help me to reach my lover ........
Saying a quick prayer in her mind she picked her bag pack and took out a stole to cover her head a face .......
Placing her phone inside her jeans pocket she picked up the bedsheet rope and walked towards the balcony ......
With several knots made with the railing she tied the rope and looked down once again to see if the path was clear or not .......

Shehnaaz Gill's POV
While I tried to potray a calm and collected look on my face making my appearance just like a normal day , I was freaking out inside .......
My heart wanted me to scream at the top of my lungs and run out of the room ...... I wanted to go and hug him with everything tell him how right he was when he said that I sould think several times before taking a decision......
I wanted to tell him that they betrayed me , they played with my emotions........ But I guess I'm the only one who came to know about that so late .......
I'm really a dumb head to believe on their sweet talk ...... wiping away my tears I looked down from the balcony to check for the last time before climbing the railing about a feet from the ground and swinging my leg over it ......
Securing my foot I swung my other leg and stood on the edge of the balcony ....... Making my mind a little more determined I looked down for the nth time to check for potential security guards before getting a hold of the bedsheets and starting to climb down little by little.......
With every inch I climbed down with the help of the rope it felt as if I was carring a mountain on my shoulder ....... Chanting Waheguru's name I continued to move down ........
Those few mare minutes felt like eternity while holding myself above the ground with just the help of my arms , my eyes teared feeling both mentally and physically exhausted ........
Just as I about to reach the ground , well to say the l was about 3 meters away from the ground I heard the sound of a footstep .....
Panicking that I'm going to get caught my hand loosened it's grip around the rope making my fall down on the ground with a thud ........
Sana : Ouch ! ( she whishpered)
Hearing the footsteps getting near I got up from my place wincing with the stinging pain on my back before getting a hold of the bedsheets ....
Coiling the rope into the shape of a ball I threw it towards the balcony with what I think was a great velocity that it reached it's initial position once again ......
Panicking that someone might catch me I hurriedly ran towards the trees and bushes with a slight limp before I hid myself......
Sitting there on the ground with the bush hiding my presence I started to wreck my brain once again thinking about my next move ......
Sana : I guess I can hide acting the the workers before leaving with one of them and escaping ...... ( she murmured)

Peeking from her hideout she quietly moved towards the back door to kitchen of the hall ...... Quietly getting inside she kept her bag just beside a pillar before moving towards the washing area where she could find few woman scrubbing the used utensils ......
Giving them a tight liped smile she started to help them while making sure no body was able to actually recognise her identity.......
Covering her head with the veil more than usual she continued doing her work when she heard the voice of her brother ........
Shehbaaz : Everything is fine right ? ( he shouted from the cooking area)
Person : Yes sir
He entered inside the kitchen and started to take a round around the whole place just to make sure everthing was up to the mark .......
Shehnaaz kept working with the other ladies washing the dishes and the other soiled utensils while her hand was deep inside the midly soapy water covering her henna designs from the public eyes ......
Cleaning the plate she could feel the eyes of her brother while he was taking a stroll around the area , chanting the name of Waheguru she continued her act........
Shehbaaz : Everything is alright ?
Hearing his voice from just behind her , a jolt of electricity ran down her spine while her hands started to shake ....... Sweat beads appeared on her forehead when someone gave him a reply .....
Lady : Perfect puttar .......
Shehbaaz : Hmm......
As soon as she heard him walking off her body relaxed a bit .....
It was more than an hour when she saw a woman along with two girls leaving the kitchen finishing their duty for the day .......
Sana : You guys continue your work while I'll just visit the washroom quick ......
Lady : Sure go ahead .....
Getting away from them saying the petty lie she moved towards the back door ...... She picked up her bag and was about to move out when someone came and stood infront of her .....
Man : Where are you going ?
Sana : Sir ..... I need to go home ....
Man : Why ?
Sana : I'm really sick sir ...... I need to have my medicines......
Man : You weren't looking Sick just a while ago .....
Sana : Sir I take the medicine once a day and I need to do it fast .......
Man : No you won't...... you aren't leaving .....
Sana : I'm sure that I'll leave , after all you don't want a dead person here in the banquet hall right ?
Man : I ....
Sana : I thought so .....
Man : Leave .....
Sana : Thank you .....
She moved out of the door and followed the other woman close by before going to the parking area along with them .....

Santokh Gill's POV
Sweety : Uncle ....... ( she huffed)
Sweety : We can't find Sana di ........
Relative: What !....... The Bride's missing .......
Santokh Ji : What do you mean by that ......
Chandni : We can't find Sana di . .....
Santokh Ji : Have you seen everywhere ?
Balvinder : We did uncle ...... we did .....
Santokh Ji : Where can she go ....... She doesn't even have her phone or bag .....
Karanveer : That's not the point ...... We need to find her ......
Karanveer : Amit !
I looked at him terrified thinking what he was about to do ....... Amit ran towards the Dias and stood infront of him .......
Karanveer : Check the area ....... I want her here within half an hour ......
Amit : Sure Sir .....
He ran towards the main entrance when Mr Jagdish , Karanveer's father stood up from his seat and looked towards me .........
Jagdish : What is this Santokh....?
Jagdish: Aren't you the one who told that your daughter was ready to get married to my son.....
Santokh Ji : Uh......
Jagdish : This is not the first time you have clearly insulted me and my family ........
Karanveer : Don't worry dad ......
Karanveer : She'll get married to me at any cost .......today itself .......
Jagdish : Are you sure ?
Karanveer : Yes dad ...... I want to have her as my wife and destroy her after all ( he murmured the last part so that only he could hear that )
Seeing that smirk on his face when he assured his father of his decision made a jolt of electricity run down my spine .......
Santokh Ji: Am I doing right ( he whishpered to himself)
Nah ..... I'm not walking away from my deal after all I'll get the ticket to election because of him ......
They are a good and reputed family , nothing can go wrong ....... I always find the best for my family after all ......

Reaching the parking area Shehnaaz took out her phone to call Sidharth but everything was just in vain ....... The phone kept ringing untill the call ended ......
Finding no other option she got up on the small pick up truck just like the other's and sat down with her bag held closed to her chest ......
The moment the driver turned on the engine she felt a sense of relief wash over her , after all soon she could reach her lover...... She doesn't want to get married to a controlling , obsessive man even if she wasn't married to the man of her dreams ......
Thinking that she might escape the clutches of her father and his associates a small smile crept on her face as she looked around the area through the little gap of her veil .........
As the truck moved away from the banquet hall through the roads she could see the light from a distance when her mind started to recall all those happy memories with her family ......
Shehnaaz started to become emotional thinking the days when she was a little girl and went to the public school in her town ....... She remembered the time when her grandmother used to wait for her and her grandpa with lunch in the afternoon .......
She remembers the time she used to ask her father to visit the fair with her , her mother making her favourite parantha ..........
Tears ran down her cheeks while she was reminiscing about her childhood days ....... Such happy days were they , no headache , tension or burden of taking life decisions.........
She remembered the day when she sat in the hospital corridor along with her grandparents..... Her mother was about to give birth to her brother , she was so happy that now she could play with someone ........
But all the memories came to an end when she thought about the present time ....... It wasn't like last time when she came out of the house with her brother .........
This time she was eloping ...... would her grandparents hate her for this .....? Would her parents claim her to be the worst daughter born in this planet .......?
She knew that this was actually going to tarnish her parents reputation but was it really necessary dor them to arrage this marriage after she repeatedly told them about her decision previously.........
Wasn't her words enough to realise that she didn't want to marry a guy like Karanveer .......
How could they think that she was lying about such a crucial topic when she herself said that she got married to Sidharth ? .........
Wiping away all the tears she took out the small disposable water bottle she had in her bag and was about to take a sip of the water when the truck stopped .......
She could hear the footsteps coming towards ......
Person : Where is the truck going and who are they?
Driver : Sir we are just returning to our home and they are the workers from the ceremonial hall ......
Person : Okay but we need to check before we let you go ......
Driver : Sure Sir......
Driver : There are just some ladies sitting there ......But why may I ask ?
Person : OH..... you don't know ......?
Driver : What happened sir ?
Person : The bride ran away and the groom wants her to be present there within next few minutes........
Hearing their conversation her blood ran cold ...... They got to know she was missing .......
Her hands started to shake making her feel more nervous as the minutes were passing by......
Person : I need to check their faces.....
Driver : I'm sure they are going to cooperate.......
Person: I hope so otherwise we'll have to use force ......
Hearing them she knew she had to run ...... Her options were limited...... Getting down from the back she ran towards the small alley way she could see down the road .......
Person : Hey ..... Hey there!
Person : Where are you going ...... ? Stop !
The person started to shout while running behind her closely .......
Shehnaaz started to run aimlessly throught the narrow passageway between the buildings just to save herself from them ......
She didn't want to get caught.......It was a do or die situation for her ......

Sidharth Shukla's POV
This was the first time in my life when I really thought what if I wasn't an actor ...... Well this wasn't because of the fact that I really need to gather all of my political connects to get my wife out of Chandigarh but because of the paparazzi.......
They need to understand sometimes that we want some privacy in our lives ...... We appreciate that they come and help us when we ask but why do they do it when it's seriously not required ......?
Just like that with some pictures with fake smile adorning my face I entered the Mumbai Airport....
Both me and Raghav got our luggage checked before sitting down and waiting for our boarding ......Each passing moment seriously felt like an eternity when I know that the condition inside the banquet hall was deteriorating everymoment ........
We got settled inside the aeroplane soon enough before the aircraft took off for its journey......
I started to brain storm thinking what are the things that I can do to bring her back to Membai , Raghav took out all the notes he had and gathers our contacts with the politicians in the northern part of India ......
Those two and a half hours that the flight took before it landed in chandigarh made me feel like it was eternity ........ My heart wanted me to run and jump out of thus metal cage .......
I really didn't know what was the logical thing that was needed to be done after all if it was upto me I would have went to the location and beated the shit out her father and the others who are involved in this plan .......
I mean I really don't get it , I have heard about various type of families where the father or the mother doesn't really like their kids but this is down right outrageous when they are just using her for their own pleasure .......
They are selling her to the psyco and thinks that their daughter will be happy and taken care off ..... What a joke !.......
Getting off the aircraft we collected our belongings before checking into a hotel near the airport ........
While I sat sat down on the bed trying to call and inform our family members about our whereabouts Raghav started calling one of the most acquainted politician ..........

Shehnaaz Gill's POV
The moment I got out of the small pickup truck I ran towards the narrow alleyway with everything inside me ...... Holding my bag tightly attached to my chest I ran as fast as my legs could take me ......
The dimly lit , narrow roads between the houses really made movement a lot harder than it should be but what could I actually do ....... It's a do or die moment after all ......
I can't move backwards, his men are already behind me , I have to outrun them anyhow ......
Taking few turns here and there I continued to speed walk aimlessly , limping on my left foot to atleast reach the mainroad ahead to get a lift from the others ........
I could hear several footsteps approaching towards me fast enough to made me chicken out and surrender myself but I don't want to do that .......
I want to spend my life happily with the people I love the most , not like my mother just following the orders of my father as if they are the rules from the life's rule book.........
I don't want to have the same destiny just like my mother , I still hate her sometimes when the thought arises that how she had actually destroyed her life even after being a brilliant student in her youth ....
I sometimes really don't get it that how could my father turn into such a devil after all my grandparents are so sweet and loveable ........
Well thinking about my grandparents, I'm sure they are actually cursing me out at this time, hating me for destroying their and their son's reputation just like that ........
Although I have always listened to them but could they actually understand when I said that I don't want to get married to this man or would rather say any politician for the matter last time .....?
Did they even think that I might be serious after all I myself wanted to get married and left everything on them ........
God knows if they understood my words or not ...... I knew that I could have told them about Sidharth but didn't want to shock them by telling that their grand daughter got married to a man and has been living with him for the last several months and they didn't even know about that .......
My mind went back to the moment in the morning when I had hugged both my grandparents just after the chuda ceremony.......
They were astonished at first when I hugged them so tight as if my life depended on it but little did they know what was actually going inside my head .......
I don't even know if I can actually meet them after this day ever in my life but wasn't it them who actually taught me to always choose my happiness rather than my father's wishes and needs ......
Shaking my head to clear out all the nonsensical thoughts , I started to run once again with all my might even though I knew that my steps could falter any moment and my body would give out making me unconscious the second I hit the ground ........
Taking out my small keypad phone out of my pocket I dialled his number once again to inform him about my whereabouts and the condition I'm in at this moment.......
The phone went on beeping at small intervals before it got disconnected.......
I tried once again but this time there wasn't any connection .......
Sana : Oh..... God ... why me ......? ( She whishpered)

Running aimlessly throught the narrow pathways just trying to dodge all the incoming troubled towards herself she reached main road about half an hour later .........
Although according to her she thought that she was able to create some distances untill she heard the voice she didn't want to hear.......
Karanveer : SHEHNAAZ ! ( He shouted from a distance trying to find her )
The moment the voice reached her ears she felt like the almighty was playing a mind game with her ......
She remembered her grandmother reciting her the great epic of mahabharata where she told her about the Chakra vyuh ......
May be those were made for the great warriors of the dwaper yug but this time in kaliyug it was only made for her .........
Tears started to flow down her eyes like streams of water making her vision blurry before she once again thought of running .......
Her breathe quickened hearing the voice getting near with each passing second ..... Her legs started to shake making her realise that she was obviously having a panic attack but was it the right time for that .......
She couldn't leave her life to be destroyed untill she used every survival tricks ...... She wanted to see the person she fell in love with........ She wanted to play with the small kids that are egarly waiting for her in Mumbai........
Trying to controll herself she took few steps ahead to move from the place but soon her steps faltered and her legs gave out .......
Shehnaaz fell down on the road with a thud ...... she felt a jolt of sitting pain rushing through her left leg while she once again tried to stand up ......
Shehnaaz had quiet a few scratches here and there on her arms and legs while she knew that her only option was to hide somewhere near untill she could stand up once again.......
Crawling on her hands and legs she reached a closed worndown tea stall by the road before hiding behind it .........
She sat down on the ground holding her leg in her hand trying to soothen out the pain with some rubbing .........
She could hear the fast approaching vehicles and footsteps towards her but did she have any other option at this point other than hiding and praying to the god for keeping her out of their sight ........
She kept on rubbing her leg with one hand while taking out her phone once again and calling Sidharth..........
This time her hopes grew higher when she heard the ringing sound from the phone while her surroundings became eriely quite all of a sudden .......
She couldn't hear anything other than the occasional moving vehicles on the road when the call connected .......
Phone Call 📲
Sid : Hello baby......
Sid : Where are you ......
Sana : Sidha.......
She couldn't even finish her word when she felt someone pulling her out from her hiding place holding her hair in a death grip .......
Sana : Aaahhh....!
A scream left her mouth the moment she felt the stinging pain running through the roots of her hair ......
She raised her hand trying to get out of the man's clutches when another person came infront of her and gave her a tight slap making her fall on the ground .........
She fell by the road side with her bag still hung on her back ...... She felt a sting on the side of her lips making her realise about the blood oozing out from the cut .....
Karanveer : You though you'll get out of my hold huh......
He said gritting his teeth while standing in front of her before snatching away her phone and throwing it on the ground making it split into several pieces......
He crouched down infront of her before holding her face by her cheeks and pulling her towards himself ......
Karanveer : I'll destroy you and that's a promise little darling .......
