This is a bad idea, I have exams coming up and I'm busy studying, but somehow an idea creeped into my head and I've started writing..😳
Um.. Do read it, and let me know what you think....
Pyar Main Bhagham Bhaag
Part 1
People rushed about, putting up decorations. A huge hall, filled with workers, the dcor reeked of class and style. A middle- aged woman, was shouting out orders.
'Chris, did you put the flowers in their right places?... Excuse me… could you just move that sign, to somewhere where people can see?...'
The workers hurried, not wanting to face the wrath of the woman, whose daughter was getting married today. She hurried about making sure everything was perfect. Satisfied she made her way back home, to get her daughter ready.
A man, like she had ordered, placed the sign right above the two majestic looking chairs, which read:
Bani & Aparajit
****************
Bani sat in front of the mirror getting ready. Today was her wedding day. She should be the happiest woman on earth, but it was the complete opposite. Bani hated her future husband. Aparjit Deb, she thought with disgust. A pervey old man, looking for a young bride.
Tears pooled in her eyes. If her parents were here today, they would never have let this happen. Jigyasa was her dad's sister and when her parents had passed away they had left her in care of her. A greedy woman, when Aparjit Deb offered them a fortune for Bani's hand in marriage she at once agreed.
Bani couldn't hold back the tears anymore and she let them free. Sobbing she sat on the bed. 'I don't want to get married' she chanted hwile rocking herself, like a little baby.
Someone knocked on the door. Bani tried to remove all traces of her tears. When she saw her best friend Rano peek through the door, she stopped.
'Bani… come on.. you bua is not here… she's at the hall…' Rano spoke rapidly and then opened Bani's cupboard, grabbed a bag and stuffed Bani's jeans and tops along with a few other essentials.
Bani sat there, shocked. 'Wh.. What?'
'Yep.. come on.. chop chop… I'm kidnapping you… There is no way in hell that I'm going to let you get married to a man old enough to be your dada or nana.. Ok?'
Rano closed the bag and then opened Bani's window and threw the bag down. She looked over her shoulder and saw Bani still sitting there. 'Come on hurry up! Get changed!!'
Bani did not know what else to do except follow Rano's instructions. As quick as possible she got rid of the heave lengha and put on a pair of jeans and a top. Grabbing her purse she saw Rano climb down from the window.
'What the hell are you doing?' Bani seemed to have found her voice.
'There are too many people in your house, I think they would see you running away!!'
Rano jumped down and then waited for Bani. Bani got hold of the drain pipe and slid down it. 'You're going to get me killed Rano..' she whispered. 'I can't believe this…' Bani managed to stutter. She was having a hard time holding on to the pipe.
'Actaully, I can't belive it either. Knowing you, I thought you would protest, say how Jigyasa has looked after you etc etc… but I hear nothing..'
Bani was a very timid girl. Never went against the wishes of elders. Always the obedient one. Though raised in London, she was still very cultured and traditional. She did not like to interact much with other people. She would rather keep to herself. You had to be a really special person to become friends with her.
'Yea… I know.. even I'm surprised…' she finally jumped the remainder of the height.
'Ok Ranveer, is waiting for us in the car, and then we are on our way to France.'
Bani's mouth fell open. 'No.. Rano… I can't… I…'
'Don't worry… First we are going to go to the bank… get out money for you… I have your passport here and since we all have British passports Visa is not a problem… so it's all sorted out.'
'Rano… I don't want to intrude. I know how much you have been looking forward to this holiday with Ranveer.' Rano had been planning the holiday with her fianc. She couldn't act like the third wheel.
'You won't be intruding. Ranveer's friend from India is here aswell and Ranveer has invited him along aswell, so you have company.'
They walked to where Ranveer's car was parked further down the street. Running they sat in the car and drove off. Ranveer greeted Bani and told her not to worry. Her aunt and uncle would never in a million years be able to trace her, because she would be using cash. What Ranveer failed to mention to Rano or Bani was that France would not be the only place they were visiting!
