CHAPTER 1
A young beautiful girl quietly opens her bedroom door and sees only darkness from outside. She sneaks around the house, checks in each bedroom to check if everyone was fast asleep, whether it was safe for her to leave yet. She goes back into her room and grabs a small black suitcase from under her bed. The girl opens it and looks through her stuff to see if she has it all. She is all packed and ready to go. She goes over to her bedside table and grabs a few letters from her drawer. The young girl zips her suitcase back closed and takes it outside her room with her. First she goes to her younger sibling's room. She opens her sister's door and lets her self in, careful not to make a single sound to wake her up. Her sister was clearly in a deep slumber, and was not going to be easily woken up. The girl takes one of the three letters out of her hand and places it onto her sister's table, putting it where it would be clearly seen, and not be missed. The letter addressed, To: Rano, in bold letters. Before leaving the room, she plants a soft kiss on her sweet sister's forehead. "I love you....", she whispers to her gently.
Her next visit is to her other sister's bedroom, the middle child of the family. She places another letter on the table, next to her sister's bed, which addressed, To: Pia. The girl, who was now slowly becoming discouraged from her goal, places a gentle kiss on her sister's cheek. She sucks in her breath, afraid, when she sees her sister move a little, but then comes to ease when she sees that she drifts back to sleep. She refrains herself from stroking her hair and keeps her hands to herself. "I'll miss you Pia....", her voice soft and full of emotions.The girl proceeds her way out of the room, now ready to visit her sleeping parents, who were clueless about what situation they were to face in the morning.
A silent tear escapes from the young girl's hazel eyes, as she sees her parents sleeping in each other's arms, with smiles on their faces, enjoying their sleep. A terrible feeling of guilt fills the girl's heart, knowing the fact that she will be the reason for her parent's grief. But she has no other options and time is running out. The girl slowly walks towards her parents, her guilt growing more by each step she makes. She places the last letter she had written on her parent's writing desk, ontop of all the work papers. Her father would find it right away in the morning, because he would always look through his work in the beginning of the day. Another tear spills out of her eyes. She looks back to her parents, and stares at their innocent faces.
" I'm so sorry that you had to have a daughter like me who will only cause you pain and troubleā¦Please forgive me if you can and for my actions. You may think that what I am doing is selfish and very self centred of me, butā¦what else am I to do? I can't watch my Karan get married to another woman in front of my eyesā¦.I'm not that strong to be able too. I know you strongly disaprove of Karan, ā¦but I am so helplessly in love with him, that I can't even express how I feel about him. Mama,ā¦you are wrong about calling mine and Karan's love an attraction, because it is so much more than that. Maybe you will understand that after awhile. Please do not judge me for my selfish actions, I'll always be your sweet and charming little princess, papa. I know that after you find out about what I have done, you will hate me and will feel embarrassed of having a child like me, you may even never want to see me. But I'd like to tell you that I love you from the bottom of my heart and you two are the best parents in the world, I am blessed to be your daughter, blessed to be a Dixit, Bani Dixitā¦," she whispers to them, knowing that they are probably not hearing a single word that is coming out of her mouth, but liking how her guilt was slowly wearing down.
Bani wipes away her tears, before leaving her parent's bedroom. She grabs her suitcase, which she had placed near the kitchen, and opens the backdoor, letting in the cold air of Mount Abu. Bani looks back and gazes around her childhood home, which held many memorable memories to cherish. This may be the last time she would ever be in her home, with her loving family. She takes one last careful look around and then walks out, shutting the door behind her.

CHAPTER 2
Bani finds herself an compartment in the train, and sits down, hugging her suitcase against her chest. She was just having a hard time to believe that she was actually going to do this.,ā¦run away from home and get married. This was definitely not expected from her and she is also ashamed for it. She hugs her suitcase even closer to her chest, holding onto it like it was her life. This would be the very first time that Bani Dixit was traveling out of Mount Abu,ā¦and alone. She was leaving her small sweet hometown and was running to Mumbai, where Karan would be waiting for her at the Marriage Registration, just like how he promised her the day before. He had planned it all very well for both of them, there were no confusions. Once bani arrives in Mumbai, she is to go to Dhruv's place, a friend of Karan's, and meet with Karan there. Then together they will go the a Marriage Registration and get legally married. Thoughts of how her future with Karan would be like run through bani's mind, filling excitement and hope in her. She was going against her family, leaving home, and was going against all her principles for love, love that she experienced and received with and only with Karan, her soul mate, who she was soon to marry. Bani rests her head against the side of window and closes her eyes with a faint smile playing on her lips.
She opens her eyes and finds that the train had stopped moving. Bani looks around the compartment with her tired eyes, puzzled for a moment about where she was and why she was here. Slowly, everything comes rushing back to her, she was running away. Bani looks across from her and sees a middle aged man sitting across from him. He wore a hideous yellow checkered shirt with light brown pants, which clearly did not match with the shirt. The man wore glasses which were obviously broken but were repaired by pieces of tape to hold it together.
Bani: Excuse me, but would you mind telling me which stop we're on? I kind of dozed off.
Man: Kind of?
She begins to become red in the face with embarrassment.
Bani: Ummm-
Man: We're in Mumbai now. (cutting her off)
Bani is immediately surprised. That was fast. How long was she asleep? She quickly grabs her stuff and stands up, ready to get off the train, not wanting to miss getting off her destination. Before leaving, she asks one last question to the middle aged man.
Bani: Would you please tell me what time it is?
Man: (rudely) It's 3 in the afternoon. Do you not keep a watch with you?
Bani begins to feel embarrassed once again, but also very angry by how the way the man made her feel so stupid and childish. She is twenty four years old, an adult, clearly not a child. Bani mutters a quick thank you, ignores his question, and exit's the compartment and then steps out of the train, stepping onto the Mumbai platform. She is astounded by the crowd of people rushing around, bumping into another, trying to get their way around. Never in her life had she seen so many people in one place. She was used to her small town, which contained small members of families. Nervous, bani makes her way out of the station and out to the roads, in search for transportation, a rickshaw. She takes out a crumbled piece of paper from her purse, with an address on it, written messily out of rush. Bani squints her eyes as she tries to find a rickshaw, the sun blocking her vision. She sees one pull right next to her and she walks to it quickly, not wanting it to be taken by anyone else.
Bani seats herself in and is greeted by a man, giving her a toothless smile. He asks for the location where he is supposed to take her. Bani hands him Dhruv's address, written on the crumbled piece of paper. The driver gives her a quick smile, assuring her that he knew where it was.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bani asks the receptionist in the hotel one last time.
Bani: Are you sure that Dhruv Kapoor isn't staying here?! Could you check one more time?
Woman: Ma'am, I am positive that he is not staying here.
Bani: But I was told that he was. This is the address. (she hands the paper)
The skinny woman, dressed in a business suit, takes the paper from Bani's hand. She examines it for awhile, trying to make out the messy handwriting. The receptionist then shakes her head after a while, in a negative.
Woman: No, I'm sorry ma'am. You're at the wrong place. This clearly saysā¦(she says some address) and our address is (says another address) ā¦I'm sorry.
Bani: (angry with the idiot rickshaw driver) It's ok, it's not your fault. Just a mix up. Thank you anyways.
Bani walks away from the reception desk and out of the hotel. She looks around in search of another rickshaw and hoping for a smarter driver. As she waits patiently, a rickshaw pulls up, waiting for her to get in. Bani tells the driver the exact same adress that the Receptionist had told her and they drive off.
Bani looks out of the rickshaw, looking around, fascinated by Mumbai. They then go down a narrow road, with barely any cars on it. She watches each tree pass by in a swift. Bani closes her eyes and enjoys the breeze hitting her fair face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"God dammit, Roshini! Why the hell do you do this every time?!," the handsome young man shouts into his cell phone. His eyebrows are arched down with pure frustration. He looks wonderful with his jelled black hair and dressed in all black, making him look even more attractive. His muddy brown eyes are full of anger. The man cruises along the narrow road with his silver Mercedes, steering the wheel with one hand. He notices that the huge truck in front of him is driving quite fast, but ignores it, too distracted on his cell phone.
Roshini: What do you mean by that, Jai?! (she shouts back)
Jai: You always start a useless and pointless fight with me every five seconds! Everything that I do is wrong to you! Can you never quit complaining and nagging?! I am just so fed up with you!
Roshini: What about you?! Huh?! You're always busy for me with your damn family and your work!
Jai: Don't you dare insult my family, Roshini! (he roars into his phone)
Roshini: (sounding like she is close to tears) It's obviously clear that you don't love me anymore and try to avoid me!!!
Jai: That's not true dammit! You know what, I don't want to get into this again! I am sick and tired of explaining myself to you!
Jai disconnects the call and throws his cell phone onto the passenger seat, fumed with anger. Roshini, her girlfriend for the past 3 years, always did this to Jai, make him crazy. She was so insecure and over protective about Jai, at first Jai didn't mind so much, but it was bugging him a lot lately. He just wants an end to it, to it all! His cell phone begins to ring and then name "Roshini" blinks on his screen. Jai refuses to pick it up and continues to drive, waiting for the ringing to stop.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As bani opens her eyes, she sees a huge truck coming from the other side of the road. She watches it, expecting it to pass by the rickshaw, and leave out of sight. But after a moment or two, she realizes that the truck is going by pretty fast, and the driver was not driving in the lines, but would occasionally go out of them. What was wrong with the driver? Could you not drive right? "Idiot," she mutters to herself. As the truck comes closer and closer in front of her eyes, her eyes widen when the truck moves out of the lines, and drives right in front of the rickshaw, headed right towards them in full speed. Panic takes over Bani's body and she watches with shock.
Bani: WATCH OUT! (she screams)
The rickshaw driver yells out of shock and he turns the car, trying to get out of the way of the Truck, but fails because the truck gets to them first, smashing right in front of them. The last thing that bani heard before falling unconscious was the sound of shattering glass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still enraged by his and Roshini's fight, jai pays least attention to the road and what's in front of him. He is brought back to reality as he sees that the speeding truck abruptly stops right in front of him, unexpectedly. Jai opens his mouth with complete horror.
Jai: OH S***!!!
He steps on his brakes, but is too late in his actions.
