Village marriage 1

"Yes I got her but she ran away. Now Aditya is with her."............"Yes yes don't worry I will find her. No Subha your name will not be exposed in this." Aman was talking to Subha and along with that, looking for Aditya and Vedika.

Unknowingly he exposed Subha's name. Vedika and Aditya were hiding right behind him, behind a two feet high battered wall.

They both were shocked at the new information but didn't dared speak due to the fear of being caught.

"That would help, send more of your guards. This village is not big but to look everywhere fast we need 15 more." Aman said further.

"Use your official contacts too."

This came out a big shock for both Aditya and Vedika. If Subha was involved the they were in grave danger. She had immense power in her hands both officials and illegal.

"Let's go." Aditya said and both of the them stood up sneakily making their way behind Aman and ran off in another direction.

"There they are." Someone yelled and they heard footsteps approaching.

Aditya and Vedika picked up the speed and going through narrow lanes end up at a dead end.

"Oh my god." Aditya said waving his hand in his already dis-shelved hair.

"What happens now?" Vedika said panicking as well.

5 goons and Aman arrives stopping right in front of them.

"Hold them." Aman ordered and the goons divided themselves and held Aditya and Vedika separately.

"You were running away from me. You hit me bitch." Aman spat.

"Aman it’s your chance to let us go and I guarantee that you can walk free from here." Aditya said but Aman laughed and approached them.

"Aditya Aditya you should be focusing on you cricket but you took my Vedika away. Now I will show you who she belong to." Aman said.

"I don't belong to anyone Aman stay away from me." Vedika warned.

Aman closed the distance between himself and Vedika and ran his hand through her cheeks and hair. Aditya struggled to free himself and Vedika took a bite on his hand.

"You bitch." Aman held and threw her to the ground.

"Aman let her go. I will give you anything you want. All the money everything." Aditya begged.

"I have money bags now, I won't leave you." Whatever Aman was going to do halted as they heard the commotion nearby as 10 -15 villagers women and men rushed towards them yelling, "hey what are you doing? Stop."

Aman and his goons ran as fast as their feet could carry.

Aditya helped Vedika up and hugged her who was crying uncontrollably from the shock of the assault.

Some of the villagers ran after Aman and some stayed there pacifying Aditya and Vedika.

"Children you both come to our house. You need to rest." A woman said and Aditya and Vedika followed.

Entering the village house of that middle aged woman they both looked around to see the one room house. Aditya ahd Vedika felt grateful for the woman who despite having such a small house, offered them to stay.

"Thank you Auntie for letting us in here." Vedika said, now more calm.

"Its no problem. It is a small house hope you can manage here. I normally stay outside on my charpai (a four legged small bed) you both can stay here I'll borrow some blankets for the floor." The woman said and walked out.

"Vedika my phone is dead and I don't have a charger." Aditya said hitting it with his hand.

"Is there someone have a phone here? We can go out and ask." Vedika said.

"No not now. Aman was not caught he will make every attempt to find us. We must stay here for a while." Aditya said.

"I need some rest and you must be tired too." Vedika said. She was now wearing a green lehenga and yellow blouse given by the woman who's house they stayed in.

"You are right by the way you look amazing in this dress." Aditya said playfully.

"I feel that too. So are we going to sleep on this single blanket?" Vedika said awkwardly.

"I have no problem keeping my hands to myself but if you can't control yourself we might have a problem. " Aditya winked.

"Really? I have no problem sleeping beside-"

"Beside a handsome man like me?" Aditya said cutting her off.

"Stop it Aditya." Vedika giggles as Aditya take both of her hand in his.

"We will be alright." He said.

"I know we will be. Thank you for being there for me." Vedika said hugging him as he hugged her back and planted a gentle kiss on her head.

"I am always here." Aditya said when 4-5 girls barged in giggling.

"Oh sorry. We will come back later." All the girls turned away.

"No no it’s okay What was it?" Vedika asked.

"Hina kaki send us to ask you for dinner, it's almost night." The teenage girls said and ran out.

"I am not hungry you should go eat." Vedika said.

"Me neither actually let's just lie down." Aditya said and they both layed on the floor on a thin blanket covering themselves with another.

"I can't reach either of them now." Asad said putting down his phone.

"You said you talked to Aditya and they were together. This has to be good." Preesha said who was sitting beside Hema and Harish.

"Maybe their phone died on way back. We don't know how far they are from the city." Harish said trying not to worry.

"I think so too. We should wait a few more hours and if there is still no news we will inform the police again." Hema said.

"Ok Uncle Auntie you both should rest. They were fine when I talked to Aditya on call so maybe it's just the dead battery." Asad said.

"Asad is right maasi masa you both should relax. I will put my things in Vedika di's room." Preesha said and got up.

"Listen Preesha you should also rest. Must be tired from the journey." Asad said.

"I will if I want to Asad don't worry about me." Preesha said when Hema and Harish were already inside their room.

"Are you angry about something?" Asad asked.

"I will leave that to your imagination Asad." Preesha turns and walks away, leaving Asad confused.

(Aman talking to Subha on phone)

"And suddenly the villagers came. I put the extra men you sent on every corner of the village. They can't escape me." Aman said.

"Do anything possible Aman I want my Aditya safe." Subha said.

"You will get what you want and I will get mine. We have a deal." Aman ended the call.
