His Indian Wife

Just like other days, everybody went to the breakfast table, but one person was missing.

"Where is the little one?", A man in his thirties asked a servant while walking down the stairs.

"She might be still hibernating. I will go and wake her up right now.", Saying so the servant went upstairs immediately.

"Young Miss. It's me, aunt Diya.", The servant named Diya knocked at the door but she got no response from the person in the room. She knocked again but nobody answered nor anybody opened the door.

"Strange, she wakes up at 7 in the morning usually... Young Miss?", Diya knocked at the door again but it was making her more worried as she heard no sound coming inside of the room. She started having a bad feeling.

"Sir...", Diya ran downstairs immediately. She was panicking when she looked at the members downstairs while gasping for breath.

"What's wrong? Why is she not here yet?", The old man who was the head of the family said so. Everybody respected him. Nobody ever did anything against his wish.

"Young Miss... I think she is... she...", Diya was hesitant to say it but she panicked more.

"She... what?", the old man looked at her questioningly as he asked him.

"She... I think she is not in the room. I've knocked on the door many times but she didn't open the door. I didn't hear any sound coming from the room.", Diya said quickly in a speed without taking a breath.

"What?"Everybody was shocked. They got up to their chairs immediately.

"Kunal, Suraj. What are you waiting for? Go and see where your sister is. Go!", The old man shouted angrily.

"Yes, grandpa.", Kunal ran upstairs immediately and Suraj followed behind. "Sanaya, open the door!", Kunal knocked at the door. Hearing no sound he knocked again when he looked at Suraj as they heard no response. They knocked at the door one more time and they heard nothing from the room.

"Bro, let's break the door.", As Suraj said it Kunal nodded his head, and then they moved away from the door then they broke the door and got inside of the room.

"Sanaya...", they started searching around in the room as they did not see their sister lying on the bed. "Bathroom...", Kunal ran to the bathroom. It was not locked from inside. Searching inside he saw nobody.

They could not find their sister in her room. It was an empty room without it's owner. After searching well Kunal finally saw a letter.

"Letter...", everybody was looking at the letter in Kunal's hand. What could be written in it, they could not guess.

"Read it,'' the old man ordered Kunal. Kunal looked at his mother and then he started reading it louder so everybody standing there could hear it.

🦋🦋

Maa(mother), Baba(father) I'm so sorry. I can't marry Virat, I want to do a job and I want to live an independent life. Even if it is just for a short while but I want to live independently till I don't come back here. I am going to the USA, I will be back soon. Once I come back I will do what you guys will tell me to do, I will marry whoever you guys will tell me to marry but now, I don't want to marry anybody. Sorry again... But I am leaving...

🦋🦋

As long as the old man heard that he sat on the chair. Nobody ever did something like that in the house but today, his granddaughter dared to... How shameful!!! He hit his hand on the table angrily and said, "How dare she run away from home! Going to the USA? I will see how you will leave this country! Everybody listen to me carefully! Sanaya must be back before tonight. Do whatever you need to do but she must not leave this country. I can not lose my honor because of such a granddaughter, she must marry Virat. Go and get her here by any means!"

Kunal smiled after reading the letter. Finally, his little sister took a step for her future, for her happiness, she ran away from home. Though Kunal did not give her the idea of running away but he was happy that she took a step to fulfill her dreams. Since childhood, Kunal has wanted to protect his sister, Sanaya but he could not help her to live in freedom. His grandpa was the head of the family and everybody in the family did what he wanted them to do, what he chose for them was considered as the best for everybody. But Sanaya mostly disagreed but yet she never went against him. She always followed the path he chose for her but this was the first time she did something on her own, for herself. She did what her heart told her to do.

"I hope you will enjoy your life. Live independently from now on, Sanaya. Spread your wings and fly like a free bird", Kunal looked at the letter and smiled, wishing the best for his beloved sister.

"Run, Sanaya run! You can't waste even a single minute. Grandpa might have authorized my brothers to catch me and take me back with them as soon as possible. No way, I can not get caught...", a tall girl in her twenty-one was running faster with her luggage. Damn, she was good at running.

Finally reaching the airport, she stopped running. She looked back for a moment and closed her eyes. She did not know when she would see her city again as she had no idea whether it was going to be 2 years or 4 years when she would be back.

From childhood until she got adopted she never knew she would have such a great family, loving parents, and the best brother in the universe like Kunal but she was so happy. She got to get loved and have a family. She felt sad though because she was not going to see them for some years and she was going to miss them but it was time for her to live her life. She wished they would not be so angry at her for running away all of a sudden.

"Time to go, Sanaya.", She opened her eyes and smiled.

Meet Sanaya Roy Chowdhury. Beautiful, tall, and simple girl. She is twenty-one years old, was about to get married but she wants to live her life independently so she ran away to her home. She is from a joint family, everybody in the family loved her except three people. Her cousin's sister, her aunt, and her younger brother, Suraj.

She wanted to live like a free bird since her childhood but she had to live in a cage. Going to school, she had people bullying her. They always said, "You are an orphan, you are just lucky to get adopted. What's with your attitude?" But the truth was she never had an attitude towards them, she just didn't know how to get along with people and slowly it became harder for her to talk to people.

But when she was in college she changed a lot. She had a lot of friends, she had people protecting her if anybody tried to bully her. But one thing never changed and that was, she was not allowed to live her life as she wanted. She never went to parties, she never got to date a boy. And after she graduated her grandpa set her wedding with her dad's friend's son, Virat whom she never liked actually. She was not interested in marriage, she always wanted to ask her birth parents one thing, why did they leave her in an orphanage?

But she never saw them so there was no way she could meet them in this lifetime. But her adopted parents loved her, they didn't let her feel like she was adopted. And she was really happy to have them by her side.

"I told you I am not interested in marriage. Please stop showing me girls' photos.", A man announced in a voice that could make people afraid of him when he threw the photos on the table. All the photos had girls faces that he was not interested in.

"Oh, dear. I just want to see you happy and that's all. Can't I want that as your mother?", The old woman who was looking at her son with worry replied.

"Bro, mom is right. She just wants to see you ha...", As the man looked at his sister, Raina coldly, she lowered her head and did not dare to say anything anymore.

"Let me tell you this one more time. I am not going to marry any of the girls you are showing to me. I don't have any interest in marrying any girl so you better not cross your limit. I think I am clear enough now for you to stop pretending like a caring mother that I am sick of. And about you being my MOTHER, I think something is wrong with your head. I can remind you if you forget, I am Nicolas Davis never needed a mother. So stop dreaming of yourself as my mother.", Saying so the man who called himself Nicolas walked upstairs. As if he was the ice king, always was an iceberg. Nobody ever saw him smile, everybody feared him.

Getting in his room, Nicholas unbuttoned his shirt when looking at the mirror. Those green eyes of him were pale as if they did not have any emotions in them. After six months he came back to his parent's home and it was only because the old woman who called herself his mother kept sending him photos of girls which he hated most.

He warned her not to send him any more photos but she did not listen and that's why he had to come here himself.

"Clara...", seeing Clara(Sanaya's best friend) Sanaya hugged her tightly. , she met her best friend finally. She was so happy as she longed to meet her.

"Sanaya...", Clara hugged her back. They finally met. Clara came to pick her up from the airport as Sanaya had nobody there except her. Clara came to the airport from her work, it was night already and Sanaya didn't know anything about Los Angeles. It was her first time coming here.

"I am so happy right now, I finally met you. My wish of meeting my best friend has finally come true...", Clara always wanted to meet Sanaya. She found her so cute and so nice, she was a real friend to Clara. Not like some of her fake friends. So she was way over the top.

As they got in the car, Sanaya kept looking outside of the car window as she was in Los Angeles for the first time.

She was amazed, she was overwhelmed as she was free from worries about what her family would say. She didn't need to go back home early nor did she need to report to anybody. Nobody was going to lock her in the room for not listening to them.

As they reached Clara's house, Clara smiled looking at Sanaya, "Welcome home! My girl." Sanaya had a big smile on her face as she looked at the beautiful house in front of her.

Clara lived alone so there was no problem if Sanaya lived there with her. In the night the house was looking beautiful, not a big mansion but decorated like a fairy's beautiful little castle. Clara took her in and showed her around. As they walked into a room Clara sat on the bed saying," And this is your room. I have to try to make it a lil bit beautiful... Do you like it?"

"Wow, it's pretty. Of course, I like it.", Sanaya walked into the room and started looking around. It was pretty different from her room back in her house in India.

"Hey, when did you buy it? It's so cute.", Sanaya hugged a little teddy rabbit that was on the bed. She loved it.

"Not long ago. I thought you would miss your pet rabbit so I bought this for you so you won't miss her. You can think that this teddy is your pet rabbit, you can hug it and fall asleep.", Clara smiled saying so.

"Thank you so much Clara..., I really love it, it's so cute. You are right, I was going to miss Momo(her pet rabbit) if I didn't have this teddy with me. Muwah...", she showcased the teddy. She was so happy.

Sanaya was coming back to home from college. On the way, there was a forest and she went into the forest as she was sad. She knew maybe she was going to get lost there but she wanted to hide somewhere just for some time.

After spending two hours in the forest she saw it was about to be dusk so she got up to leave from there. But she was lost already, all the trees seemed to be just the same.

Lost and scared Serena tried to calm down first then she looked around and started walking. In the hope that she could find a way to go to the main road. When she was walking straight she heard the sound of a wild prey animal.

As she looked in the direction the sound was coming from she saw a cute white rabbit. Her pale face had a smile as she saw the rabbit. When Serena walked towards it started walking away from her.

"Strange! Hey, come here.", She was not going to let her go. Serena kept running after the rabbit until she found herself standing on the street where she saw cars, bicycles, motorbikes going on.

Getting so happy she looked at the white rabbit who was looking at her cutely. Strangely the rabbit was no longer running away from her. Serena quickly took the rabbit in her hand and kissed the rabbit's head. That's how she got to meet her rabbit, Momo.

"Sanaya, I've already ordered food for us. All our favorites. You get freshen up first. I will go and prepare the foods ok?", Hearing her Sanaya nodded her head with a smile. After Clara left she laid on the bed hugging the teddy rabbit. Right, she was going to miss Momo, she knew Momo would miss her too.

Sanaya knew how to decorate a room, the room she lived back in her house was decorated by her, and she kept her room always neat and clean. It was not going to change in Los Angeles either. And Clara has already decorated her room beautifully, she was going to add a little more.

But as she was hungry she looked at her luggage, "Bro, I'll take care of my things later. You must take care of my belongings until I get them out ok? Right now, I need to change and have dinner or I will... " Taking her casual long sleeve shirt and cute pajamas, she went to the bathroom.

"Kill him!", A man was surrounded by ten men. He didn't have any weapons with him when those men surrounding him were with dangerous weapons. They were supposed to kill him at any cost.

"Come, Kiddos.", The man had a devilish smile on his face when he looked at those men around him. He could still smile in such a dangerous situation. Well, he was not afraid. It was an easy task for him to deal with them.

"Police, police...", when both the parties were ready to fight they heard someone screaming louder. Except for the man in the middle, everybody ran to their cars and ran away from there in the blink. They were busy saving their lives more than killing that man.

"Don't run away, come here. Ain't you gonna kill me? Hey!", The man felt kind of boring. It was going to be fun, that's what he thought but damn! They ran away like cowards. They left without getting beaten up by him.

"Are you okay?", A police officer asked him while looking at him with concern. He looked at the police officer with a boring face, "Yeah I am. You just ruined it.... Thank you so much."

"Huh? Again? I thought you needed some help, dude.", Said the police officer.

"Help, my ass!", He said walking towards a car when the police officer followed him behind.

"See I know you don't need my help but still I thought maybe...", the police officer was cut off by him.

"My body is aching. I was busy in the meeting with the clients all day. Finally, I was going to feel good but you... never mind. Why did you come to see me", He asked the police officer as he walked towards his car.

"You should take rest and here you are, fighting with some gangsters. I can not understand your logic you know..... Well, I came to see you because I thought you would be attacked tonight. I heard from your secretary that you went somewhere but he didn't know where so...", as the police officer said it he let out a sigh of relief.

"How about now? Did you saw me? I am doing fine. So... do you wanna go to the hotel with me? Or how about my apartment? We can have some hot...", He looked at the police officer while smiling sinisterly. Geez, those green eyes of him... The police officer stepped backward immediately.

"No, I better not.", The police officer said immediately. Looking at his car he added more, "For how long will you stay like this? Till now you kept rejecting all the girls, you don't hang out with girls more than for one hour. Are you going to stay single for the rest of your life?"

"You know me, Ricky. I am not interested in these things at all. Marriage is boring, I can't even spend a day with a girl. How will I spend the rest of my life with a girl? It doesn't make sense and you know I am...", he sighed as he announced so.

"It's you who thinks like that. Trust me once you will meet her...", cutting him off he said, "Here you come again. I am really tired now, I would like to go back to the hotel."

"Listen to me, hey. Wait...", the police officer named Ricky could sigh only. He never listened to him anyway. And this time too, he was not going to listen... Sigh!

The Next Day

"But I never went to a party before, Clara. I don't really know anything about...", it was almost evening when Clara told Sanaya about going to a party. Sanaya went out in the morning and took some photographs of places she liked. She likes photography.

"I know Sanaya but tonight, you are going to a party with me. And you can't say 'no'.", Clara looked at her cutely.

"But...", Sanaya was shut up by Clara. Clara started choosing dresses for Serena that she could wear at the party. Serena gave it a thought, she was going to try new things then why not going to a party? Sanaya breathed in deeply as she asserted to herself, "You wanted to try new things, so let's start with going to a party."

"Hey, Daniel. Yeah, I am coming.", Sanaya heard Clara talking to a male friend on the phone so she looked at Clara.

"Of course, my best friend is coming with me too... You will know when you will see her.", Clara smiled as she said that and hung up.

"Let's go. I'll make you ready for the party. Tonight, I am going to let you see how beautiful you are. You always say you are not beautiful but I know the truth and you will see it tonight.", Clara smiled sinisterly and Sanaya looked at her, "What are you going to do?"

"You will find it out soon.", Said Clara.

"Don't tell me you want me to wear this...", Sanaya looked at her, raising her one eyebrow as she touched the gown that her best friend has chosen for her.

"Right. I want you to wear this beautiful red satin v-neckline party dress. You'll look absolutely stunning in this.", Clara smiled looking at her.

"No way.", Sanaya got up and ran to the door but she was stopped by Clara.

"I... I can't wear this. It's... Ahh, this one. I want to wear this off-shoulder burgundy lace prom dress.", Sanaya smiled sheepishly as she chose one beautiful dress among all the others Clara handed her to choose. Thankfully there was something she could wear at the least.

"You... want to wear this one?", Clara was a bit surprised as she looked at the dress Sanaya was hugging.

"Hmm, it's elegant and beautiful. I like this dress."

"Ok. Try it on then. You will look beautiful in it.", Clara said looking at her. Sanaya smiled and went to the bathroom.

**

"Are you really not going to attend the party? Everybody wants to see you there. If you don't go, Tuna will be sad, you know?"

Nicolas was lying on the sofa in his bathrobe avoiding what his cousin brother, Maxwell told him.

"C'mon. Let's go there now. Get up...", Maxwell started pulling his hand, trying to get him up.

"Let me sleep for five minutes more.", Said Nicolas in a sleepy tone. He had no interest in attending such parties where girls would keep looking at him and trying to seduce him.

"No, you can not. We are already late and you want five minutes more? Get up.", Maxwell tried to pull him with a little bit strength.

"So annoying.", Nicolas opened his eyes and looked at Maxwell. Seeing him getting up, Maxwell had a proud smile of accomplishment on his face.

"What. Want to see me changing?", Holding the bathrobe Nicolas looked at Maxwell annoyingly. Maxwell walked towards the door immediately, "No no. I... I'm leaving." He walked to the door and left immediately.

Nicolas was very hard to please. It was enough that he got up. If he was to say no, nobody could change his decision. Let alone changing, there were hardly two to three people who could make Nicolas listen to them. Everybody feared him only, even in the family Maxwell, his father and Nicolas's father would not dare to make him angry. Sometimes they would not dare to talk back once he would be angry.

Nicolas smiled devilishly and lied on the sofa. He stretched out his arms, "Finally I can sleep..." He loved to sleep, attending parties was not to his liking. Never.

After awhile

"Hey, open the door."Maxwell knocked at the door. As the door was still closed he knocked again. Hearing no sound he kept knocking.

Damn! Nicolas made a fool of him. He did not even get ready let alone going to the party.

Getting a call Maxwell sighed and said, "He is still in the room. I don't think he is going."

"This punk! He always tries these tricks. Never mind, leave him there. I'm on my way to the party. You just head here as soon as you can...", said Maxwell's father from the opposite side of the call.

Like he was advised, he left from there to go to the party.

**

"Guys!" Seeing a bunch of girls and boys Clara shouted out all of a sudden, making Sanaya astonished.

"What are you doing?"Sanaya looked at her with surprise. The dress she wore was comfortable but the high heels were not. She could barely walk properly on them.

"Let's go.", Holding her hand Clara walked towards the bunch of girls and boys who were actually her friends and colleagues.

"Hey, Clara."They said looking at Clara but then their eyes started reading the girl behind Clara thoroughly. They never met her before.

"Guys, this is Sanaya. My best friend... and Sanaya they are my friends and colleagues. This is...", Clara introduced Sanaya to them slowly, one by one.

"She is so beautiful.", A boy said, looking at Sanaya when Sanaya smiled.

"Didn't I tell you that she is beautiful? Now, you see?", Clara had a proud smile on her face. Sanaya got to talk to them and she became friends with some of them.

Sanaya was looking around when Clara was talking to her friends. Clara didn't leave her alone though. Sanaya was at a party for the first time so she was trying to gulp the new feeling. And there her high heels were making it hard for her to walk.

"Hey.", When Sanaya was looking around, a guy held her hand coming out of nowhere.

"He-llo...", she moved away and pulled her hand away. She looked at him as if she did not like him touching her hand.

"Ahh sorry. I saw you were looking around. Are you looking for someone?", Asked the guy.

"No. I was just...", Sanaya said in a low voice but then she was silent.

"It's ok. Don't be nervous if you are. I am Daniel and you are Sanaya, right?"

"Yes, I am.", She said in a low voice again.

"Is it your first time coming to a party?", Daniel was looking at shy Sanaya. He kind of liked her, he heard from Clara about her for a long time and he was curious to see her. Finally, he got to see her in person.

"Yeah...", she replied.

"I see...", Daniel kept looking at Sanaya when Sanaya was feeling kind of awkward. She was not familiar with him and he was looking at her continuously, it was making her uncomfortable.

Daniel understood that he was making her uncomfortable so he said, "Ahh, would you like to dance with me?"

"... I... I don't know how to dance.", She answered smiling awkwardly as she did not know how to react.

"I see. Actually, it's easy to dance. You just...", Daniel was interrupted by Sanaya as she asked him, "Where is Clara?"

"Clara might be somewhere around. Why? Do you want to talk to her?", As he asked her she said, "Yeah, I want to..."

"Ahh wait, I will check where is she ok? You can drink soft drinks or juice, we will meet here ok?", Hearing him Sanaya smiled, "Hmm ok." Daniel vanished in the gathering.

Sanaya looked around, people were dancing with their partners. She did not see Clara near her, she thought she might be in the washroom or maybe she was with her boyfriend but it was unusual, she wouldn't leave her alone like that. Sanaya threw away all those thoughts and sighed. She took a deep breath then she tried to go where she wouldn't be in the crowd, a little space for herself and a peaceful place.

Walking out of the party hall she finally saw nobody around her, she sighed with a smile as she inhaled the fresh air.

"Wow so beautiful...", Sanaya found herself standing just a bit away from a beautiful garden, she could see all types of colorful flowers in there. She smiled delightfully and she walked towards the garden.

"Wait, where am I? Daniel told me to wait for him there but I... if he finds Clara and they don't see me there then... I have to go back, I have to find the way to...", Sanaya remembered what Daniel told her. Turning back she looked straight.

"Wait, did I come from this direction? Or the... How to go back now? Ahh map...", Taking out her phone she searched on the map. Then she walked faster to the right, then left, just following the map. At least she could use Google maps.

"Almost there, it will take only five minutes more then I'll meet Clara.", Sanaya was walking while looking at the phone screen.

"Who's this beauty? Seems she is in a hurry."Suddenly hearing some men's voices she looked in the direction she heard their voices coming from and saw some guys were looking at her while smiling like devils.

Sanaya swallowed, she got a bad feeling seeing them. They started walking towards her, "Beauty, are you lost? Do you need some help?"

"They don't seem to be good guys... what should I do now?"Sanaya took a look at them, then without looking right or left she turned around and started running as fast as she could. The boys started chasing after her, Sanaya was afraid.

She kept running but she couldn't help herself, they were running after her. She was in danger, she could understand it.

"Why can't I find anybody who can help me? What to do? I can't keep going on, it's hard to run wearing these damn heels.", Sanaya looked around but found nobody who could help her. If it was India she could easily find a way but it was not her country, she did not even know where she was running to.

As she was running she saw a stranger just a bit away from her. She turned around and saw those guys were not much further away than her.

Without wasting time she ran towards the stranger. She said, "Sir, can you help me, please? Some boys are running after me, I..."

"Help?", The stranger didn't look at her but hearing his voice she understood that he might be around her age or older than her by two or three years.

"Can you just pretend to kiss me? They are nine in total, I won't be able to save myself from them anyhow. If we pretend to kiss they might think that we are lovers and they will go in another direction.", Said Sanaya, her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She was breathing heavily, after all, she ran so fast

"Sure. Let's do it then.", Suddenly the stranger pulled her closer by her hand. When his hands were wrapped around her waist and her eyes met his attractive green eyes.

Only then Sanaya got to see the stranger's face who was a handsome man. Sanaya was looking into his attractive eyes.

"Wrap your hands around my neck.", She heard him saying and she did exactly what he told her to do. Sanaya couldn't tell what was that unknown feeling but it was surely making her nervous, making her heart beat faster than usual. The man in front of her was like a Greek God but who was he? When she wrapped her hands around his neck she could feel his rock-like hard chest. She thought he might work out every day.

Their lips were about to touch, yet they were not touched. They could hear both of their breathing, they were silent. Sanaya seemed to be lost in his eyes.

She kept looking at him but he moved his eyes here and there saying, "I think they are not coming this way, they might have gone in another direction."

"Ohh seems so...", said Sanaya, still looking at him. Moving away to her he started walking away when He pronounced, "If you don't want to see those guys again then you should follow me." Sanaya nodded without thinking as if she was paranoid. She took a step ahead but suddenly her feet were hurting so she took those heels in her hand she was wearing and followed him.
