(FEW HOUR BEFORE THE WEDDING)

PRACHI POV

As soon as the make up artist Justin had hired finished our make up.

Priya and I began our plan, while Priya got dressed in my gown, I got dressed in her wedding sari

"Will this be okay? I think you shouldn't do this"Priya said to me

"I have to after all I owe you my life"I said as to her

"If you are doing this because of what I said last night don't mind me Priya, let's just run away, you me and Shivam"She said

"We can't, remember dad owes Justin money and if we leave, Justin might get dad arrested, I might not be the bride he wants but if I marry him, I might get him to stop his threat with the arrest and he won't have any option and sooner or later, he will grant me a divorce since we both hate each other"I assured her

"But I still think this......."

"This is the only way for you to be happy with Shivam don't lose it because of me"I said and she pulled me to her, hugging me tightly.

"Am sorry for what I said yesterday and for how I treated you, I had said things to you in a fit rage"she said

"It's okay, Just leave before they see you and Shivam will be waiting for you at the courtyard, I would have love to be at your wedding but I won't be able to"I said sadly

"As soon as Shivam and I are married, I will come back to get you, I won't let you live the rest of your life with a man you don't love" she said

" Don't worry, I will know how to handle Justin, For now you need to think of your own safety, leave now, I will handle the rest" I said to her

She gave me another hug and then she left the room.

I waited a while and when I got Shivam text that she was with him, I calmed a bit.

Just then I heard footsteps and I knew that it was time for the wedding to take place.

I quickly covered my face with the shawl and my mom walked in

"You look so beautiful my child"She said as she walked close to me

I could only nod in agreement, if I said some thing she will definitely know that am not Priya.

"Where is Prachi?"She asked.

Having figured out that they will surely ask for Prachi.

I had written a note, waiting for this moment.

I took out the note and gave it to her, when she read it finish she stared at me .

"Why would she decide to go and get you a gift on your wedding day, that girl is some thing else and as soon as she gets back, I will give her a scolding other life"

"Now my dear your wedding awaits you! Justin is so nervous though he tries not to show it"She said and I nodded again

"Your father and I are sorry that we had to make you do this but you know that it's the only way for your father to be out of trouble" she said and I nodded still the same .

"You don't even want to talk to me Priya"she said

Just then the door opened and a lady walked in, the event planner, I thought as I stared at her

"It's time for the wedding to begin"she said.

Together we all left the room and while the event planner and my mom went down, I stood back wishing a way out of this.

It's the only way I can think of and I hope that Priya comes back to take me as she promise.

Drawing in a deep breath, I went down and through my sari, I could see Justin and every one waiting for me.

Silently I wished for the ceremony To end well and it did, it did until Justin noticed my Name on the wedding certificate and before I could stop him, he opened my sari cover and I stood starring up at him.

"What nonsense is this?"Justin exclaimed looking so angry

Feeling caught and scared, I turned only to see everyone looking at me in shock.

"What's happening Prachi, why are you here and where is Priya?"My father asked

At first I felt scared but as time flew by, I could finally say some thing.

"Judging by the time Priya is now at the court registry getting married to the man she loves"I said and every one in the room gasped.

Justin face which had enough colour suddenly turned pale, if he looks like this just because of his marriage to me, then he will also want to get a divorce speedily.

"Every one,kindly leave please, Beatrice make sure that every one leaves"my father told the event planner

As soon as that was done, my father walked towards me and before I knew what he was about to do, he slapped my face.

"What did you do,you stupid girl!!!"he yelled at me.

I held back the pain and the hurt I felt at having being slapped by my own father and I stared at Justin.

"I know what I did dad, Priya doesn't want to marry Justin, she never love him"I said starring at Justin.

"And so you decide to take her place?"He asked angrily.

If my mom hadn't been holding onto him,he would have lashed out at me some more.

"Priya made it clear to you all that she doesn't love him but still you kept forcing her and I didn't want to see Priya suffer and so I took her place"I said

"Why Prachi! I know that your elder sister always relied on you to do things for her but not this, you shouldn't have agreed to this!"my father said

"Even when she threatned to kill herself"I asked

"What?",Both my parents asked

"You were so busy entertaining guests that you didn't notice your daughter in distress"I said

"If I hadn't been there, Priya would have ended up in a hospital, dead!!! "I said starring at Justin, wanting him to know that it's all his fault.

"Oh I can't take this, I just can't"my father said as he held his chest in pain.

Every one attention zoomed to him and while he was taken to his room, I called for the doctor.

A while later we stood hearing the doctor prognosis.

"He will be fine, just enough bed rest "The doctor said and after prescribing the drugs, I left

Ever since my father collapse, have been feeling guilty and have been waiting for a chance to see him.

I began to walk into the room but my mom pushed me back.

"You have caused him enough already, just go away" she said and went back in closing the door on my face.

I could have left with Priya and Prachi but I chose to stay and its all because of my dad, yet they blame me ,I thought sadly.

"You and I have got to talk "Justin said behind me and I turned to face him

"Really? I don't think we have some thing to talk about"I said and suddenly he pulled my arm angryily

"Don't test my patience Prachi, come with me"he said and pulled me to my room.

"Tell me where Priya could be?"

"Why?"

"I have to get back my bride to be?"

"Didn't you hear what I said, Priya is now happily married to Shivam, the man she loves, I stayed back to buy her some time and j didn't want you to send our father to jail"

"So you did all this just to help your sister escape?"he asked Suddenly looking angry

"I......we could just get a divorce you know, I will find a way to repay you Justin,I only need more time from you"I said

"And you think that I will be giving you that more time you asked for"he asked

"Y....you have no option Justin, you don't want me as a wife, so you will get a divorce from me and......."

"A divorce? Who told you that I will get a divorce"he asked

"You don't want me as a wife Justin a ...."

"You knew I didn't want you as a wife and yet you married me, getting a divorce isn't what I need right now, I need a wife and since the girl I like decided to elope with her lover, why don't I just take the one that willingly gave herself for this marriage"He said.

"You don't mean that and we both know"

"I meant every thing I said Prachi, I told you not to meddle, yet you did , so get ready you will be knowing what a man fury is like"he said

"Justin I........"

"Our wedding night is suppose to be spent at an hotel right, well I changed my mind, I want it done right here, right now, I can't wait to have my virgin bride"he said and I stared at him In shock

"Stay away from me!"I said as I ran past him to the door but he pulled me back and pushed me on the bed.

"You are going to know what hell is like being married to me, I promise you that"he said as he pulled away my sari.

"Don't touch me Justin, Stay away"I said as I sat up

"It's my wedding night and so I have to enjoy every moment"he said as he pulled me by my leg.

Just then there was a knock on the door and at first he didn't want to go but when the intruder persist, he went to it.

Immediately I got into action, i took my phone and opening the window,I jumped out.

His yell for him calling my name is the last thing I heard as I ran out of our house.

It was night already and I head to the place Priya had texted me to come meet them.

I would rather escape than to let Justin touch me,I thought as I felt a bit cold.

Just then my phone rang and on seeing that it was Priya, I answered the call.

"Where are you?"she asked

"On my way, I will be there with you soon"I said

"Please be careful and get here quick"she said

"Yes"I replied and cut the call.

I was putting my phone in my bag and wasn't looking ahead.

As soon as I accomplished my task, I looked up only to see Justin standing at the end of the street, waiting for me.

Feeling so scared, I ran back, I kept on praying that he wouldn't catch-up with me and I thought I was safe until I heard his voice behind me.

"Do you think you can run away like that"He said and i screamed out in fear .

"Please Justin, let me go"I begged as I move back

"You never wanted me right, I will help you find a better girl,. A girl much more beautiful than Priya, just let me go"I begged

"And what makes you think that I want another bride, I have you Prachi and I don't think I will be wanting another wife, now let's go back to the house willingly"He said

"No Justin I......"I didn't get to finish my word because he bent and carried me like a doll.

"You are now my wife Prachi and no matter what you will continue to be my wife"he said and I knew then and there that Justin will do his best to punish me for what happened .
