Chapter 29

Abhinay's pov

"STOP RIGHT THERE TARA !"

My blood boiled as I again caught her sneaking her way out of the room. With my raised voice I stopped her which made her flinched.

She was visibly shaking, but do I care? The way she betrayed me, she deserves all the punishment I could serve to her.

What did she think of herself? Now let me make it clear to her.

Now is the time for her to meet the real me.

" I -I am sorry." She whispered meekily.

" Oh dear, you will be very sorry." I smirked sinisterly.

Her eyes watered as she looked at me pleadingly. She took a shaky breath and continued to looked at me with her shaking body.

But suddenly, she dropped on the ground. Her eyes fluttered shut as she passed out.

Oh my! She was that scared of me. I am going to scare her off more so that in future, she won't even dare think about fleeing away.

Third point of view

* Sunshine orphanage *

A loud gush of excitment spread as the kids howled with happiness when they saw her long awaited Vimla Masi on the autorickshaw coming on their way to the orphanage.

"Stop this auto right here." Vimla, a woman of around fifty years of age, came out of the auto. After paying for the drive to the auto driver, she eagerly walked and  entered the orphange.

"Masi.. Masi.. Masi..." all the kids of the orphanage howled with excitement.

" Bacho, please keep quiet. See I bring so many wonderful toys and dishes for all."

" What did you brought for us?" One of the girl around age seven asked with her chubby smile.

Vimla smiled affectionately at her and crouched down.

" Preety, my dear, you remember at one time you asked me to bring you a barbie doll?"

Preety nodded frantically with excitement.

" I will give it to you but in the evening. Will it be ok for you?"

Her smile widened, " Thank you Masi."

" Your welcome dear."

" What did you brought for me Masi?" A boy of age twelve asked her with the hopeful eyes.

" Dear, Like I said, I have bring so many things. But before all that tell me how are you all studying?"

" We are doing good Masi." Another girl answered.

Vimla caressed her cheeks affectionately and smile at her.

" My dear lovely kids, it is so lovely that I meet you all. I was missing you all so much. Thanku for such sweet welcome and greeting me on the gate."

With the happiness and excitement, all the kids hugged her.

"Now it's the time for me to meet your Sheela Maa. Ok kids. Now I will meet all of you in evening." She said affectionately.

"Ok Masiii"

"Sheela, sister where are you?"

With a smiling face Sheela came to face Vimla.

" Welcome back dear! How was your journey."

" It's so tiring Sheela. Finally after one month I am here. And I am really happy that now I will be able to meet and spend my time with these wonderful kids."

" Those kids were really missing you.  I am glad you fulfill your wish of visiting Varanasi."

" Yes, it was so good. And I bought so many things for our kids. I hope our kids would like it."

But Sheela didn't like what Vimla just said. With a solemn face, she said

" Silly ! Why did you have to waste money on these kids? We could have spend on something else."

" What are you saying Sheela?"

" Vimla, I know this orphange is as much yours as it is mine. But why do you have to spend money on these kids? You are not bound to spend your hard earned money on these kids."

" Shut up Sheela! Your greediness is increasing day by day. I would rather spend on kids than on myself."

Sheela knew very well that Vimla loves kids. Therefore, she decided to drop this topic and turned around to walk out of the room.

" Wait a minute Sheela ! Where is Tara? Is she not here?" Vimla inquired.

After hearing the name 'Tara', Sheela face got paled as she didn't know what words she could say to her.

" I am asking you something." Vimla knew there was something wrong going on.

" Tara ran away." Sheela replied, dropping the bomb finally, making Vimla silenced as she watched her with utter shock.

Abhinay pov

" She is going to be fine. I have already injected the medicine. What she needs is the rest and not any unnecessory stress. Let her rest and if her health deteriorates then call me. I am only just one call away." Doctor was telling me about the condition of my future wife who just passed out in my presence.

She is currently in the mansion, in my room and over my bed. My mother is also present here as she watched her in worriness.

" I hope she gets fine soon doctor. I don't know why this happened. But I want her safe and sound. I hope she gets recovered in one or two days?" My mother asked humbly from the doctor.

" There is no need to worry Mrs Singh. She will get fine before the wedding ritual commences."

Wedding ritual!! My eyebrows quirked up at the mentioning of the rituals. How my mother could even think of me to carry out those stupid wedding ritual? Wedding will happen but now, it will not be as according to the plans. Plans would get changed. She would not get any fairytale wedding.

" Thanku for the assurance doctor." My mother said to the doctor and turned towards Vinay who was standing just few feet away," Vinay go and escort the doctor to the gate."

" Ok aunty. Doctor please come."

Doctor went away with Vinay  and now only I and my mother were there in my room along with unconsicious Tara who was laying on my bed.

" Abhinay, come in my room. I have to talk something important with you."

I sighed. Now my mother is going to give me lectures on what had happened.

" Are you going to come with me or not?" She asked me as she turned towards the door and waited for my reply.

"I am coming Mom."

_____________

" This girl is not good for you son." As soon as we entered my mother's room, she said, turning towards me and crossing her both arms over her chest as she continued to look at me with a solemn gaze.

I was shocked. I didn't expected her to say something like this.

" But mom..." she cut me off.

" She is certainly not happy with this arrangement Abhinay. You tell me, which kind of girl just ran off from her own wedding which was planned to happen after some few days." She snapped.

My tongue got twisted as I was not able to reply.

" What is revolving in my mind is these questions. If she was not happy with this arrangement why didn't she said anything to any of us? What was the need for her to just ran off? And how was she able to ran away inspite your guards working around tge mansion?" She fired her question.

But I was utterly shocked and pale as I was not able to say anything. She was right. Our arrangement was nothing sort of happiness. We are not in love. I was playing with her all this time. And forcing her to marry me so that I was not be able to catch myself with some rich spoiled brat. It was my pure selfishness. But do I need to say to her? Do I need to open all of my secrets in front of my mother?

Because if this is revealed she would get to know about my playboy nature. And then the dark secrets of me being a mafia could also be revealed, that would cause havoc in my life.

" Where are you lost?" My mother snapped.

I sighed. I do not want to talk about it with the mother anymore.

" Mom you do not need to worry for me. Nor you are needed to worry for Tara. I will handle her myself."

" What rubbish you are talking about? If I will not worry then who will worry? Tara is not happy with this marriage. This means no wedding will take place."

" Mom please ! I respect you. It doesn't mean you have to take decision on my behalf. I am enough old to take my own's life decision." I snapped angrily.

But soon regret overwhelmed me as I realised it.

Mom still continued to look at me in anger and a surprise.

" Did you just snap at me?" She asked, her eyes shooting glare at me.

I turned away and with frustration rubbed my face. I was not interested to carry out anymore talks.

" Mom I think it is time for you to get some rest. I will talk to Tara about this. " with this I walked away from my room.

No more interested to carry out anymore useless talks.

Because wedding will happen. And it will take place sooner then the before as per the plans.
