RoshniIn the evening, my friends as well as my parents made good of their promises and came to our house to celebrate some hours of my birthday with me. We had a wonderful time together. The house was filled with laughter and joy as we gathered around the dining table, sharing stories and reminiscing about old times. My friends brought delicious food and drinks, while my parents prepared a special birthday cake for me. It was heartwarming. As the evening progressed, I showed my parents the gifts Raj bought for me. A necklace and a BMW. Yes, it was Raj's other gift for me. "How have you been, baby?" Dad asked."Fine, dad." I answered. "I can't believe you are already twenty and having a baby already. My baby is having a baby! I remember when you were born vividly. It seems like yesterday. How time flies!" Mom wiped the little tears that formed in the corner of her eyes with her fingers. "Happy birthday once again, baby," dad said and handed me his gift."Thanks dad," I hugged him
RoshniSomething clicked and my senses turned on; heart pounding vigorously in fear, eyes almost bulging out of their sockets and lips, quivering as I regained consciousness and the realization of me being kidnapped hit me. I attempted to stand up and look for an escape route, when I realize I couldn't as my feet as well as my hands had duck tape over them to prevent me from escaping, but I wasn't going to give up that easily. I mustered all of the strength I had left in me and managed to stand on my feet. I staggered towards the door for some sort of help or escape route. Tears formed in my eyes as my thought drifted to not being able to escape from the hell hole. My parents, in laws, friends and my husband, they must be very worried about me. I made it a mission to escape from my captors as soon as I can for the sake of my unborn baby. I would never allow anything to happen to our baby. I was staggering towards the window to get some help, maybe from passersby, when I stumbled o
RajveerWhy did Roshni inform me mom was calling me when in fact she wasn't. I went to her room to attend to her call and she told me she wasn't calling for me. Strolling back to the spot I left Roshni, I met up with her absence. I looked around for her but she was no where in sight. Where could she have gone? Perhaps to her friends. I dialed her number, but it was switched off. I knocked on the door of our room, before entering. Her friends were chattering away and Roshni was not present there either. "Where is Roshni?" I inquired from no one in particular. The question was for any of them to reply. "I thought I saw you two together just some moment ago," Payal said. "Yeah, we were together, but she's suddenly nowhere to be found," I replied. "Maybe she's with her parents," Vidhi reasoned. "Maybe. I will go check for her there," I gave a small smile, before leaving for the guest room, where her parents were currently staying in. On getting to the room, my in laws informed me
Roshni"Please let me go," I screamed for mercy from my kidnappers for the umpteenth time. My voice was now barely audible due to my throat hurting from too much screaming. "Keep quiet," Raghav came into the room with a plate of potato paratha and black lentils in another. He placed the dishes in front of me and ordered me to start eating. "I'm not eating these dishes," I protested, adamantly. O didn't need food from them, I needed my freedom. That was all I wanted from them, not some stupid food. "Then don't. I don't give a damn," he answered and left the room, slamming the door harder this time. I flinched slightly. I didn't like it here, I wanted to go back home. But why isn't Raj coming for me? Please come soon Raj, we need you. Suddenly, I felt my stomach contract violently. I cried out in pain and clutched my it. The pain I was feeling was indescribable. All I could do despite the pain was pray for my child's safety. I would die if anything happens to my baby and if I manage
RoshniI looked around for an escape route. I had to find one soon, but it was difficult for me, but Just when I was about to lose hope about finding a way out, I sighted a curtain over the wall in front of me. A window. My heart raced with excitement as I hurried towards the window. It was small, but it seemed big enough for me to squeeze through. I reached out and pulled the curtain aside. It was indeed an escape route. Without wasting a second, I pushed the window open, feeling a rush of fresh air on my face. I glanced back at the room I was trapped in, filled with darkness and uncertainty. It was finally time to take a leap of faith and escape this place.Just as I was about to climb the windowsill, the door burst "What are you doing over there?" Ajit asked. "I...it's none—" I stopped myself before I could talk rudely to him. If I wanted to get out of the hellhole soon, I would have to play nice and then distract them. "- I'm hungry.""So now you've decided to eat?" He asked.
RajveerIt had been days since Roshni had gone missing. I searched for her everywhere, but my efforts were futile. I couldn't find even a single clue as to where she had been taken. I didn't know what condition she was in. I didn't know if she was well fed there, if she was sleeping properly or even bathing. Of course she wasn't doing any of those, she was not there for vacation, she was kidnapped and that was the reality. She must be very miserable wherever she is, waiting for me to safe her and here I was clueless. Her parents and friends were also very worried about her and never failed to visit the house each day for new updates about her whereabout. Isha's boyfriend gave me his word that he would do everything in his power to save my wife, but up till date, no improvements yet. I couldn't rely on him anymore, his best was not enough. I needed to find my wife and quick. She was pregnant for God's sake! My anger and frustration were fully unleashed now. I couldn't keep them at bay
Rajveer"I will file a report against Sam for kidnap," I told my parents the decision I concluded. "We understand," mom said and dad nodded sadly in agreement. They must be very sad about my decision. I put myself in their shoes and frankly speaking, it would be nearly impossible for me to have my own daughter jailed, but I would do it for her to become a better person. I was doing this for Sam's good as well. "Let's go talk to Sam," dad said and left the room with mom. I trailed behind. Sam was seated in the living room with her head hung in between her hands, crying her eyes out. She looked like a mess and I was almost convinced she was innocent with the crocodile tears she was shedding. They seemed genuine to me, but I knew deep inside me that she was just faking them because she wanted sympathy from me, but she wasn't getting any. Roshni specifically told me it was Sam who had kidnapped and she would never lie about that. I trusted her fully and had zero trust for Sam. It all w
Roshni"you're pregnant?!" the three of them asked with bulging eyes. They looked surprised and it never occurred to them I was pregnant because they never noticed any pregnancy symptoms in me...well, apart from the throwing up - which they thought happened due to them forcing me to eat while I didn't have the appetite. I felt my voice disappear and I couldn't speak but nod instead. My hands were still wrapped around my abdomen protectively. I couldn't allow them harm my child in any way. "why didn't you tell us earlier?" Mr unknown asked exasperatedly. Ajit on the other hand was regretting hitting me, especially in the stomach - his expression told me so. I wondered why though - they kidnapped me! "why do we even care if she's pregnant?-" Raghav asked with a raised brow. "-our job here is to kidnap her and that's exactly what we are doing, all other things are secondary to us. Irrelevant," He enunciated the last word clearly before walking away. I glared at his retreating form
