Chapter 1: Two Many Threads
The sound of music and dance had the Gujral mansion filled up with life, filled with the variety of lights and the best dcor seen in town. And when one looked at the huge palace from far or near they would have no doubt that it was the wedding of the very famous daughter of Ila Gujral, Damini. And that's was what had made the very happy mother of Damini very proud. But there still were issues to be taken care of as she heard her phone ring, "Why have you called me when I have told you I have better things to do...you wouldn't dare touch my daughter no matter what or else you know..." and the tensed Ila hung up to the dead line. "Ma-am, Damini ma-am has sent the juice for you, and she forbids you from taking anymore tension tonight" the tensed lines on her forehead ceased and a small smile lit up her face, her daughter knew exactly what and when was needed 'what will become of me after her' she thought as she took a sip of the juice "one sec" she called out in grave voice "yes ma-am?" "Call for the security head here" "yes ma-am" and the servant disappeared from the door he had entered.
A big room adored with red and white walls filled with quite a lot of chirping girls, beautiful ladies and older advising aunties, amidst who sat a woman, looking at her best in her bridal wear glowing like a bride would on her wedding. The girls laughed and teased together trying to keep her company and free from her nervous self. Yes for the first time Damini Gujral could feel the nervousness on her nerves, for the first time she did not know what would become of her life after today. But she knew, she would always live on her terms, like she had always done and well her husband to-be was a nice man himself she thought. And in fact she had taken quite a liking to him for once and for all. But suddenly the chirping stopped and silence, deadly silence took over bringing her out of her reverie. Amidst the girls she could not see what was it but, when she did a sudden bad feeling took over her. There stood a tall man, clad in black overall with a sharp mask of the same adorning his face and a gun pricing each of his hands. He signalled the ladies to be silent with the tip of his finger and put one of his guns down in return. Opening the door, he asked them to move out and they gladly obliged. It was when Damini stood up to move that he bolted the door. He had come for her.
"what's the status" "we have details of every guest, staff and guard in or out of the party, no suspicious behaviour shall be entertained, our guards are between them in tuxedo's" "very well, but just make sure they don't enjoy too much" "surely ma-am, no irresponsible soul shall be left tonight" and he turned to walk out hoping he had satisfactorily answered her "wait a sec" "yes ma-am?" "Have you checked on Damini in her room?" she asked uneasily "yes ma-am we did a check half an hour back" he answered in small voice "you fool" she raged "this security is for my daughter not you people out here" she seethed angrily "sorry ma-am, I'll just get at her" "no need, I will do the honours myself, she shouldn't be suspicious about anything or her mood would be ruined now and I don't want that" and with that she signalled him to dispose of. Hardly a minute later, had She heard another knock on her door "come in" she said. But the sight in front of her horrified her. There stood a man clad in black all over, holding a gun over her daughter's head. "Who...who are you? Who has sent you here?" no reply came, but the man lowered the gun and signalled Damini to go forward. "See her one last time, because maybe you shall never meet" a dark figure came into view behind the curtains. And the guy in black bowed his head in acknowledgement "mama yeh log...inhe kya chahiye" Damini hugged her tight and as she asked her, but Ila didn't know if letting her daughter know would help her at all "just go with them Damini, for now. I will get back you child" she spoke instead. Damini's eyes widened in horror "mama" "your mama is very smart, Damini...you should get at least some traits from her, not unless you want noise in the party below, that could cause so many people their lives, do you?" he spoke slightly amused, dreadfully. "You, you will pay for this, I'll make sure you do" Damini shouted as the man behind her put a gun on her head and silently asked her to move out, while Ila stood helpless watching her daughter go.
