Karan and I reached at my home late night. We saw my parents and Soham were watching tv as they were waiting us. Soham yawned, "Now, I am sleepy. I am going to my room."

I looked at Karan for telling them. He nodded and I opened my mouth with shy smile, "Actually, I have something to tell all of you."

My parents and Soham looked at each other and waited me to continue. I raised my hand which has ring infront of them. When they were hestitated to guess,I took karan's hand and raise infront of them.

My parents and Soham looked shocked. Soham was frist who broke silence, "Don't tell us both of you got engaged."

I nodded with shy smile. I noticed my parents were hurt that I didn't tell them and got engaged frist.

I took deep breath and told them in details, "Actually,I told him that I am ready to marry him. I didn't know he already prepared rings for us."

My parents believe in god. When they got to know we got engaged in temple. My dad smiled and gave us bless, "It's good that you took bless from God. I am happy. We only want our children happiness. If both of you are happy, we have no problem."

My mom also nodded. Karan took steps towards them and touched their feet, "Dad and mom, we also need your blessing."

My mom and dad smiled and said, "Our blessing is with both of you."

I smiled and Soham gave me side hug and teased me, "Congratulations but thank god finally, you are going from our house."

I pouted with smile, "Don't forget It's also my house."

We laughed. It's late night that's why we didn't tell anyone else and went to our respective rooms. I knew karan wanted to share bed with me but he knew before marriage, it's not possible in my house. My parents agreed for our marriage but we did not want to upset them. I felt warm that he respects my parents thinking.

Before going into Soham's room, he whispered into my ear, "I have to wait for only few days. After marriage, nobody can stop me to sleep with you."

I blushed and I rushed my room without giving him response. He is really too much. That night, I slept soundly because in last few nights, I was thinking what should I do or not.

The following day,

Karan took my hand into his hand and entwined our fingers. He took pics and posted in his status. I did the same. My parents and Soham knew but Richa, Sameera,shlok and his parents didn't know that's why we need to tell them. Karan thought this idea and it was really effective.

As we posted, I received immediately Sameera called. I looked the screen and attended the call with smile, "Hey"

I heard Sameera screamed voice from other side, "Natsha, don't tell me I am guessing right. Bro and you..."

I smiled and told, "Yeah, it's true. Last night...." Then I noticed Richa was also calling me. I told Sameera, "Hold... Let add Richa. she is also calling."

Sameera gave response, "ok"

Then I added Richa also and heard Richa's excited voice, "You and karan really..."

I opened my mouth, "yeah, sameera is also with us on line."

Richa said, "Wow congratulations.... When and how?"

Sameera said, "I can't believe it. Natasha.... No sister-in-law, give us details without sparing anything."

I nodded and told them everything.

Both of them screamed on phone, "wow... Finally, you sorted out your thinking."

We chatted for few minutes and I hung up. Karan told me shlok and his parents called him. They are happy for us. His parents wanted to talk me that's why he did video call to his parents.

Now, they are going to my parents-in-law. I was nervous. Sameera was different. She is best friend then sister-in-law. Karan noticed my nervousness and held my hand into his hand, "Mita, it's ok. You already know my parents like you. You don't need to think much."

I bit my lip with my teeth, "but now suitation is different."

He hugged me by side, "Don't worry. I am here with you."

I nodded and finally call received. I looked his parents were smiling. I greeted them, "Aunty and uncle, namaste."

Aunty laughed and corrected me, "Mita, now you started to practice for calling us mom and dad like karan.

I blushed deeply. Karan said behalf of me, "Mom, give her some time. She can't start to call you mom suddenly."

His mother laughed, "I know. Don't worry about me. I am getting excited after it. We were looking this day since many months."

His father hugged his mother from side and said, "We are happy for both of you. Our blessing is with you."

Karan said, "Mom and dad, come quickly. As we can discuss further about marriage."

His father told, "We will come as soon as possible."

Karan told, "ok... We are waiting for you."

His parents discussed my parents about marriage. I could say everyone was happy with my decision and I was also happy.

After two days, in my room, karan told me, "I am going now. But soon I will come back to take you with me. Take care yourself."

I was sad that he was going back. I wanted him to stay here more but I knew he had his responsibilities that's why I endured my sadness. Because we are going getting marry soon.

I rolled my eyes, "Karan, I am not child."

He took me into his arms, "I know but I am worried for you. Do you know I want to take you with me now? But your parents won't allow me."

I chuckled he was more impatient than me, "Karan, don't worry. I will take care myself."

He didn't say anything but kissed me. His kiss was gentle and remind me how much he will miss me. Actually, I will miss him.

Finally, he left and reminded me again that I need to take care myself before our marriage. I felt something missed from his tone but I didn't think much. May be, I was thinking much because I was also nervous. I took decision to getting marry him but whenever I thought my heart started to beat fastly.

I talked Richa about it. She told me it's natural before marriage. I should take it naturally. She was right I shouldn't think to much. Karan and I was talking to eachother daily. Everything was fine. Both families started to preparation of our marriage. The date was fixed which was after two months. Karan wanted earlier date but his parents visa approval for later date that's why we fixed that date.

Everything was going smoothly. We started marriage shopping.

Richa and I went shopping. We did almost shopping for that day. As karan suggested is to book cab for safety measures that's why we booked cab. I was feeling karan was getting worried for my safety as passing day it's only left one month. I didn't say anything to him because I thought he was also nervous like me.

We were waiting for our cab outside the market. Finally, cab reached and we put all shopping bags into cab and we climbed into cab.

Cab started to drive on road. Richa and I were busy in chatting that we didn't notice the way. When I noticed, I frowned and asked cab driver, "Bhaiya, it's not way."

He said calmly, "Mam, it's short-cut."

Richa scolded him, "Who told you to take this way? We are paying. Let's go back our routine way."

Before he turned the car, there were few cars on road. We didn't think much but as they blocked the cab. Richa and I got panicked. I thought to call Soham for safety but before I called someone opened the cab door and tried to took me out from cab. Richa and I struggled but a man put a hanky on my face and within few seconds, I was unconscious.

When I came into senses, I heard the voices. My head was aching badly. I wanted to touch my head but I felt my hands were tied. I tried to move but I noticed my legs also tied. I was scared what's going on. It's first time when someone kidnapped me. I didn't feel any pain but my body was stiffed because of a position for few hours And there was voices that's why my head was hurt badly.

I tried to open my eyes. It's hard to open my eyes. At last, I opened my eyes. I adjusted my eyesight to look my surroundings. I was in room and my hands and legs were tied. The room was dark but there was a night bulb. The room was dirty that's why there was a disgusting smell into room.

I heard someone said, "Finally, she woke up. I have to inform boss." I looked at man he was one of them who kidnapped me because he worn same mask.

I heard another man voice, "I already warned you leave her otherwise my boss won't spare anyone of you." I could feel he was in pain. When I looked that person he was injured. The blood was dripping from his wound. He was also tied like me.

The mask man didn't listen that injured man and left. The injured man looked at me with calmly as he was not injured and assured me, "Madam, don't be scare. Boss will come here soon to rescue you."

I was scared deeply but I tried to calm down myself which was useless. I asked him with trembling voice, "Who are you?"

He told me, "Boss appointed me for your safety. I am sorry I couldn't save you."

I tried to think who is his boss. I asked with hestitation, "Karan?"

He nodded. I was more shocked. Omg, karan appointed bodyguard for me but he didn't tell me. But why did he appoint him?

I recalled Richa was with me. I asked him with hestitation, "My sister?"

He told me, "your sister is safe. Their target is you that's why they left your sister. She would be at home this time."

I was relieved that she was safe.

That injured man said few words to me but my mind was not working properly that's why I couldn't catch a single word. I was so scared and shocked.

I heard the few footsteps and raised my head. A middle aged man entered with few mask man. He smiled after looking me and said, "Finally, we met again Natasha... No It's Mita right?"

I was confused who is he. Then something clicked into my mind. I opened my mouth, "You....." He was that uncle who bumped me into award function.

He smiled and nodded, "It's mean you remembered me, right?"

I nodded and he continued, "you will be confused why I kidnapped you?" He didn't wait for my response and continued, "then let me tell you." He ordered his subordinate for chair. When a mask man took chair, he sat on the chair lazily and opened his mouth, "Because of your boyfriend. Did your boyfriend ever tell you what type of person he is?"

The injured man shouted, "Madam,don't listen him. Boss is good person."

The middle aged man glared the injured man and his subordinates started to beat him mercilessly. I was scared but I said with trembling while tears from coming out from my eyes, "Please don't beat him." He was not shouting in pain but I can feel his pain.

The middle aged man raised his hand to stop the masked man. The masked man stopped. The middle aged man said with hurt expression, "You are really soft hearted while you chose wrong person. So where were we? In short, your boyfriend did crime and you have to pay for him. He destroyed my family. Now I will kill his beloved and take my revenge."

I looked at him with horror. I didn't know what's he was talking but I could understand that he wanted to kill me.

He gave me smile which I was feeling disgusting. He stood up and said, "Don't worry. I won't kill you now. I will kill you infront of him. So you have some time."

After that he left. If I said, I didn't care if I am alive or not. It's not true. I didn't want to die now. I agreed to marry karan and I wanted to marry him before die. I was really stupid in past that I was muddle headed and didn't take decision to marry him soon.

I recalled the Karan's smiling face. I didn't know I will be alive or not after getting out from here. But I didn't want him to be sad because of me. The tears were falling from my eyes.

I was not heroine from any novel or tv serial. I born in middle class family where it's hardly to kidnapping. I couldn't do anything except crying.

I heard the injured man voice, "Madam, boss will come soon. Please don't worry."

I didn't say anything to him because I didn't know what to say him. He was here because of me. He was injured because of me. And I couldn't do anything except crying. I didn't know when I slept. May be, I was exhausted from this whole kidnapping or I was crying a lot.
