When I went back into my room to call Heer, she was nowhere to be seen God knows where she is right now, something was off about her tonight I had to make Rishi leave somehow I lied she slept off and when she wakes up I will do the dressing I also had to take a promise from him about not to tell anyone about this because her behavior gave me a vibe that she is in danger, running away from home is a big decision and the way she was behaving about everything else and now left without informing me.

I can just pray that she is fine.

The whole night I was turning tossing on the bed her face was stuck in my mind, her disheveled self, the ringing of my phone pulled me out of my thoughts it was my cousin "hello Nimrat!"
"Bhai when you are coming to Chandigarh?" She asks angrily.

It's her wedding, Nimrat is finally getting married to the guy she loves after so many ups and downs her parents agreed for them to get married "I'm leaving today, don't worry" I said.
"Good because you know you are the only brother and there are so many things which you have to do so please be here on time," she says whining, I can imagine her making a famous pouty face.
"Okay, baba I will be there on time," I said, we talked a little more, then hung up the call.

I started my packing, I still have to buy a sherwani for me there are not many good shops here maybe I'll buy from Chandigarh itself.

"Fateh Baba, aapke dost aaye hai" Nisar Uncle knocks on my door, Nisar Uncle is the caretaker of our house also an amazing cook.
I headed into the living room it was Rishi "So when you are leaving for Chandigarh?" He asks then I noticed a duffel bag. He is also coming with me which means, yeah how I can forget about this Nimrat must've invited him just to show off that she is happy in her life.

Nimrat and Rishi dated when he was in Chandigarh, doing his studies they were together for a year then Nimrat left for Paris to pursue her passion in Fashion Designing which led to their breakup but I'm glad she met Prabhdeep he is such an amazing guy and loves Nimrat so much.

"I still don't know why she had to invite you," I said sitting down on the couch.
"Oh come on you know Nimrat she loves to show off, then how she can back off from showing that she is getting married and that man is not me," he says jokingly.
"Doesn't that mean she isn't over you yet, that's why she sees the need of inviting you?" I ask it's the fact if she wants to show off to Rishi, shove her happy life in his face that means she isn't over him yet somewhere deep down there is a spark of feeling alive in her.

"No man, she thinks of me as her friend now plus I spoke to Prabhdeep it was his idea to send me an invite, and let me enjoy the free food dude in a wedding" he babbled.
"Fine, I'm almost done with the packing" we'll have lunch then leave anyway it's going to take just three hours," I said and went back to the room to pack the rest of the stuff. I haven't met Prabhdeep officially but I have heard good things from Chacha and Chachi Ji when they accepted their relationship and as for Nimrat she doesn't keep her mouth shut from talking about him.

I was done with the packing we had lunch and left for Chandigarh.

Heer

After I reached Chandigarh looking for a phone booth I called Jassi, it was late but there is no other person I know here, after calling him three times he finally picked up the call he came, of course, he was angry and worried at the same time.

I'm at his flat right now which is provided by his company" Heer, this is not at all rational I mean I'm not saying you shouldn't have come here but just think what will happen once Taya Ji finds out you are here" he speaks up pacing back and forth running hands through his hair.

"I get it Jas but I couldn't just sit there and get married to that idiot Papaji took my phone away, also forbid me from going to the parlor, I couldn't think straight you are the only person I can rely on" I reply sternly.
He huffed out in restlessness " what are we going to do?"
"We'll figure something out first I was thinking to get a job," I suggested.
"About that, I've been assigned a job for managing a wedding you can work as a photographer I will arrange everything for you," he said.

"Okay, get freshen up we will go out to eat something also buy some clothes for you," he said gently, I went into his room took a quick shower putting on my blue jeans, with a long red Kurti putting on my black converse shoes I did my hair in a braid.

"Ready?" Jassi asks getting up from the couch.
"Yes, by the way, I love your place Jas," I announced walking towards the door.
"Yes, I can't believe they have offered me so many accommodations once this project is completed I might have to move again," he says with a grim look on his face.
"What do you mean?" I inquire.
"Once all the functions of this wedding which I'm managing right now are done after that I might have to move to another location or maybe not it depends" he explains.
"Okay, don't worry we will manage everything" I reply with a small smile on my face inside I'm shitting right now, I don't know how to handle anything.

We first went to a small cafe which was nearby the apartment had a cheese grilled sandwich, French fries along with some cold coffee I was hungry I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday "why we had to come here, they don't have aloo paratha, these sandwich, and French fries doesn't fill your stomach anyway I'll prepare some good dinner for both of us" I said munching on the sandwich which was good in taste but not good as aloo paratha.

Jas shook his chuckling, well consider me crazy for not liking such food but there is no competition of desi food than to these fries and sandwiches.

Later we went to a mall to get me some clothes we were at a store "you should get something decent to wear at the wedding which is also something professional looking" Jassi says looking at some kurta for himself.
"Okay, where is the women's section?" I questioned looking around.
"Just take the lift it's one floor above, try on something I'll be there in a moment," he says taking out a shirt for him.

I went up to the women's section and there were a lot of choices I start to look around but either they are very much expensive or they are okay-ish looking.

My eyes fall on a dress it was a sunset purple shade of kurta with pants, kurta was like a frock threaded flowers of resham and organza scattered over the hemline the fabric seemed like raw silk when I looked at the price thankfully it was in the budget. I think this would do simple yet beautiful, now the only problem is shoes I mean I can't wear my converse here.

"All okay?" I heard Jassi's voice I turn around he was holding two bags in his hand.
"Yeah, I found the dress but the shoes and other stuff," I said with a grim look.
"Don't worry try this first then we will look for shoes and other accessories you want okay?" he says giving me his assurance smile.

I went into the trial room putting on the dress it fitted me perfectly just at the right places showing my curves perfectly, and the color looked good on me.

I headed outside Jas was on a call with someone while he was doing that I looked around a little after Jas was done we paid the bill and went to the footwear store. We looked at a few then I decided on fewer inches of heels I'm not much of a heels kind of person it kills my feet. They were silver-studded heels after we paid the bill Jas suggested roaming around a little.

We also went to the food court "that's it Jas, we have spent so much money for today let's save some for later, let's leave for home I'll prepare something for you" I said in an authoritative tone.
"You are right Heer" and we start to walk out of the mall when I caught a glimpse of someone I wasn't expecting at all.

What is he doing here?

He was with the same friend of his Rishi, haaye Rabba has Papaji sent them here to look out for me but how did they know where to look.

Are they following me?

"Let's leave quickly" I took Jassi's hand and ran from there grabbing many people's attention.

"What is the wrong Heer, why are we running?" Jas asks, stopping abruptly.
"There are two men here who I met back home I think Papaji might have sent them here" I reply trying to catch my breath.

His eyes widen at my answer "what the hell, you think Taya Ji, had you followed?"
"I don't know maybe one of them knows who I am, and from which family I belong the other doesn't but it can be possible" I speak up, I know I'm not making sense maybe it's just a big coincidence, or maybe not.

"It can be a coincidence also Heer," Jas says, I think yes it is I shrugged off the thought and we left for Jassi's apartment.

I made dinner later and Jas slept right after he was exhausted and he has to get up early for work as for me sleep was far away right now, I was tossing and turning, restlessness taking over me I can not help myself but think about Fateh.

I don't know when he helped me he didn't seem like a person who would snitch or do something like that, but that guy Rishi sure looked like that, the way he was asking questions about me.

Pushing all thoughts at the back of my mind I tried to sleep.

∆∆∆∆

The next day rolled in faster it was the wedding day, Jas is in his office also he said he will arrange the equipment for me he had called earlier informing me he has mentioned to his boss about me and if they like my work they will hire me permanently. I'm happy that something good is happening finally, something I want.

I prepared lunch for myself and did some research about the company also Jas told me who's a wedding event he is managing is the daughter of some business tycoon and they are a big deal here so if we get good recommendations from them it can help further. I googled the name, Nimrat Kaur, she has long brown hair, brown doe eyes she is also a fashion designer pursued her studies from Paris, there are so many photographs of her with her to be husband Prabhdeep. I did some more research before I thought of exploring a little maybe I can click some shots.

If something happens if this me being on run doesn't work for very long then at least I should have some memories to look back, putting on my shoes I pick up my backpack and my camera.

I left locking the door, the weather was really good today I'm sure it will rain today I clicked some snaps of kids playing on the roadside, the sky was filled with pink and orange shade clouds scattered like cotton all over it making it all look so beautiful I clicked some pictures of the sky too.

I walked some more not knowing where I am going, it is quite dangerous though I don't even have a phone to get the directions I believe we should enjoy the moment while it lasts and life should have some adventures anyway life doesn't surprise me at all by throwing curves at me so at least I should learn to duck and enjoy myself.

I came across a park going there I clicked pictures of kids playing with their mother, and some of them just sitting and having the best time of their lives. As a kid, you have the best life because you don't have to worry about paying your bills, or achieving something, living your life as society wants you to or whatever comes with adulthood, as a kid we live a lavish life because everyone around us is willing to do anything for us all we have to is cry or make a pout or show your pretty big eyes that's it the person is melted and ready to do anything for you.

I wish I can go back to that phase because Papaji listened to me, not just force his decision on me.

I sat in the park for a while then went back home. I took shower by the time I was done Jas was also home he told me to get ready fast because we have to leave for the venue.

I put on my dress, did my hair in a fishtail braid, applied kajal, pink nude shade lipstick, lastly putting on my heels I was ready to go.

We left hastily for the venue Jas was very worried about how everything will turn to which I assured him everything will be alright this is the first project he is handling more like leading.

We reached the venue everyone was running here and there Jas took me to meet someone maybe his boss "Ma'am, here is the photographer I was telling you about" a middle-aged woman turns around she was looking so beautiful in her cobalt blue dress, her hair pinned in a low bun, smokey eyes, with a dark shade of lipstick.
"Oh hello, Heer nice to meet you," she says smiling in her soft voice.
"My pleasure Ma'am" I reply, my hands were shaking a little but I intertwined with her anyway.
"Oh please call me Aditi," she says chuckling.

We talked for more then she went cause her phone started ringing "she seems sweet" I said.
"Yes, she is also an amazing business woman" Jas replies.

After that, we engaged in work I set up the cameras and everything else helped some of the guys who were on the team soon the rituals commenced, I froze at my spot when I saw the man who was walking the bride up to the stage.

It was Fateh.
