She stare at her mother and sister with shock written over her face, she couldn't believe what she had heard from her mother.
"What mom? Come again" She spoke not believing her her fate had took such turn.
"You heard me right Taani, next month you are getting married" Her mother confirmed her. Taani laughed sarcastically, off course they want to get rid of her as soon as possible so why don't just sell her daughter in the name of marriage.
"Marry whom? That 45 year old uncle" Taani lost her calm and shouted at top of her voice. When she came back home, her mother told the news of getting married to a man who is 26 years older than her,
"Don't raise your voice taani. And there is nothing wrong in Mr. kapoor's alliance for you. You should be thankful to us that you are getting married to him, do you even know he is owner of two restaurants and have his own house in mumbai" Her sister kria said, and at that moment she felt nothing but disgust with their thinking.
"Then why don't you marry him" Taani retorted at her angrily, Filling insulted by her, Kria raised her hand to slap her but taani hold her hand, stopping her in mid way.
"Don't you even dare Kria. I will forget you are my sister" Taani threaten her, all her life she was sweet obeying girl to them but now they are taking advantage of that, she had to stand up for herself and she knew its time to take a stand.
"I'm not marrying that man" She announced her decision and started to go away but her mother's voice stopped her.
"If you don't want to marry than arrange 2 lac rupees in one week. I had took 2 lac rupees loan from Mr. kapoor " Her mother told her and she understood everything, to pay the load her mother and sister sold her to that man. She wanted to cry but she knew it wasn't time for that, she need to make decision, she can't destroy her life, dreams because of her mother and sister's selfishness.
"I'll arrange money" She told them and left the room, leaving them shock. She herself was shock but at that moment nothing was coming in her mind, she just wanted to get away from that marriage and from them. And for that she had too arrange the price of her freedom but from where? Thats the question she had. She can't even arrange money for her daily expenses then how on earth she will arrange 2 lac rupees in one week.
"Krishnaji! How will i arrange this big amount in such short time. Please help me" She prayed to her krishnaji, with her cell phone in hand she fall on her bed.
"What should i do now? Rey ko call karu? But he had already helped me with my college fee, I can't take more help from him." She thought to herself. She let her tears fall, feeling so broken. She couldn't believe her own family would betray her like this.

"4 days, 4 days are left and i still couldn't do anything to arrange money. Krishna ji How will i arrange money in such short time." Taani mumbled to herself as she come out of the college, ready to go on search of some job. She was walking aimlessly on road, lost in her own thoughts. Three days had passed, yet she was standing where she started. In those three days Rey had called her several times and asked her to meet him but she avoided meeting him by giving excuses and talked to him on phone only yet she found herself craving to see him. She was brought back into reality by her cell phone ring.
"Hello" She picked up cell phone.
"Hello Taani" She frowned when she recognized the voice of the caller.
"Shivam. Why you called me?" Taani questioned him trying her hardest in hiding her irritation.
"I still have that offer open. I know you are in need of money. I have got a better offer for you. 15000 thousand for 1 dance." Shivam said from other side of call, she called her eyes tightly. She was in need of money. Should she take up this offer? She didn't had any other option, if she need to get out the marriage drama her family had set then she had to do something.
"I'm ready but i have few conditions too" Taani replied hating herself for saying yes to dance in a bar.
"I accept your all condition. Meet at 6 in my bar" Shivam replied and cut the call.
"I'm sorry krishna ji, I know i shouldn't have said yes but i could do, I don't have any other option" Taani thought with moist eyes, she looked at the time, it was already 5 which mean she need to reach his bar in an hour, Taani started walking toward her destination.
All the while her mind was on Rey, she wanted o go and talk to him, It was like its only him who can understand her and give her right advise. In true words she was becoming depended on him which she knew is not right, She shouldn't get so much attached to him.
After walking for more than half an hour, she spotted shivam's bar at some distance. she scrunched her nose feeling disgusted with herself. She was about to walk toward the bar but a speedy BMW came and blocked her path, She put her hand on her heart and her eyes closed in fear. She opened her eyes and saw an angry looking Reyaansh stepped out of driver seat.
"Reyaansh! What he is doing here?" She thought to herself, confused what he is doing here.
"Get in the car" Reyaansh ordered her in dangerous tone, She looked in to his eyes, they were red in fury which scared her.
"I can't come I have some work here" She answered him in low tone, her eyes were finding something precious on ground.
"Work? What kind of work? Urnm Let me guess, Dancing in front of a crowd of drunk bas***ds. Have you gone made?" Reyaansh lost his cool and shouted at her, scaring her further more. She flinched away feeling the coldness in his voice.
"I don't have any other option. Now please let me go" Taani replied as she tried to walk pass him but he pulled her back holding her elbow.
"You are not going there. Come with me" Reyaansh said in low dangerous tone, holding her hand he dragged her toward the passenger seat and opened the door.
"Get in" She obeyed him quietly and sat inside, she was terrified of his anger, had heard a lot about his anger from her sister. After she sat inside he slammed the door hard making her jump on her seat.
"How the hell did he come to know about this?" Taani thought to herself as he sat on driver seat and drove away. She was confused wondering why he cared for her so much?
She was tensed, how will she arrange money now? and what he is going to do now? she remembered how angry he was when first time she told him about shivam's offer, it sent shiver down her spine thinking about his reaction.
