Run-Away
"Beti hui toh"
"Beti hui toh"
"Maa ko bhi nahi chodenge"
"Maa ko bhi nahi chodenge"
These two lines were echoing in her mind over and over again. Will the fate of her daughter be like Trishna only? Will she has to face all those things that her little girl is facing? Will she be able to live?
Today also, he treated her like a toy. His own daughter. How can a father do this to his own child? He placed an apple on her head and shot at it. Is this the way a father behaves with his daughter? She always tries to save her daughter from this, but she can only so a little.
She belonged to a poor family, and when Balraj Chaudhary married her, she forever became indebted to him and his family. But now she knew that people living in big houses have small hearts. Be it her husband or her mother in law. She was afraid, very afraid.
Today Guruji came. Her mother in law had called him to know the future of his son. She will do anything for him, to make him happy, even overlook what he is doing wrong. In fact she is the one who has made him like this. Guruji said that if Chaudhary ji has a daughter, then she will be hisa destruction, and if he has a son, he will prosper. They all seem to be happy about it yet unsure. Guruji also said something about his previous wife, about hiding a murder, I did not get it right, but it seemed like Chaudhary ji was looking at him worried and then with rage filled eyes.
They called Daima to know whether I am carrying a son or a daughter. I was scared to know what will it be. It seemed as of my fate resided in her hands. She looked at me and gave good news that I am carrying a boy. My husband and mother in law were thrilled, so was I, not because it was a boy, but to know that my child will be safe. I looked at Daima for a moment and it seemed as if she did not meet my eye and was hiding something. Can she? But why would she do that? I shrugged off my thoughts.
My worst fear came true. When Daima came into my room, she told me that I was carrying a girl child. Now what would I do. What will my child has to face? The one for whom the outside world does not exist, only knows one home, her mother's womb. Will she ever be able to see the other side of this world? Will she even be alive to see it? Will I be alive to see my child? What do I do?
Her words rang in my ears, "Celebrate a dead boy's life or a living daughter's death." Was she right? "I have given you one month's time, one month's time to decide" Yes, she was right, I have to do something. I cannot let my second child face the same fate as my other daughter is facing right now. I have to do something.
Today a big celebration is going to happen in the haveli. They will be celebrating the coming of their heir, a son. This is the only time, I think I will be able to run away from this all. But I will not go alone. I will take my daughter with me. Her mother will not abandon her this time. She will be with her wherever she goes.
Though I was successful in running away from the haveli, but someone saw us and informed Chaudhary ji. It seems as if I have only a few minutes to run fast and hide.
I got on to a train, I did not know its destination. All I knew was that I have to RUN AWAY, to run from this world, to run far away from him, to save my children. I will not let them face his cruelties.
His men were still there when I got down. I did not know which city it was. Then my eyes fell on the board where it was written Bomaby V.T. I have come to Bombay. I saw his men and I tried to run. I knew there is only one way, be a part of the crowd. I have to mix in them so that they don't come near me.
She somehow ditched them and entered a small alley which led her into a gate. She did not know where she was, Then she heard,
"Lights, roll sound, camera, action"
Maybe a whole new world has come in front of her.

Hello to everyone once again...🤗
Since I got double the likes I wished for in my last OS: PARAGON...
so I thought to write another one today...
this is not new but it is more like today's episode from Padmini's POV with a one or two changes in what was shown...
hope you all like it...
Do leave me comments, and if I get more than 20 likes, I might write another OS inspired from the storyline (like I wrote today) this week itself.😉
love
Jyoti
