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
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&hellip
"Get in the car.", The stranger said. Sanaya looked at him, he seemed to be tough, she didn't see him smiling yet and he had only one expression, that was kinda scary. But he opened the car door for her like a gentleman."Don't you want to?", He asked her as she was standing there. Not moving at all."Ahh no, I…", she got in the car immediately and he sighed. On the way, Sanaya had her breathing held on when she was sitting next to him. Even though she didn't know him, she felt he was quite a cold person who doesn't talk much. They didn't talk, she didn't dare to look at him. The man was seated next to her while closing his eyes, as if he was a statue."Thank you Sir.", Before getting out Sanaya thanked him. He nodded his head slightly and she left the car. The man did not utter even a single word and got in the car. She turned around to see that the car was not there anymore from which she understood that it migh
Sanaya was busy talking to Clara when Clara started screaming all of a sudden. Confused, Sanaya couldn't understand why she was screaming all of a sudden."What's wrong?", She asked her."He is coming this way. Omg! He is coming this way. I can't believe this. Is it a dream?`` Clara was behaving strangely. Poor Sanaya asked her, "Who's coming? Are you okay?""Our male God… ", Clara announced while touching her cheeks with both of her hands. Sanaya was totally surprised by her sudden anxiousness. When she was about to ask her what's wrong, someone from behind said, "Miss Sanaya."Sanaya turned around, her expression changed immediately. Everybody's eyes were focused on Sanaya, among all the beauties he chose her. Omg! When everybody was thinking he chose her Sanaya was thinking how did he know her name."May I dance with you?", Women went crazy when he asked Sanaya for her hand. Sanaya c
"So this is what happened, I see. Now I got it.", Gradually Clara's excitement subsided as Sanaya told her everything."Yeah. We have no relationship. They were just exaggerating it. That's all.", When Sanaya and Clara were about to leave the party hall Clara's friends were super curious, they kept asking Sanaya if Sanaya was really his girlfriend or what was the relationship between them. Clara was clever so they finally could get out of there."Ok ok. The day after tomorrow you have a job interview. You should not waste your time thinking about these things now. Think about the preparation for your first job interview. Go to sleep now. Good night.", Saying so, Clara got up to bed. Sanaya pronounced, "Hmm, good night.""Tomorrow, it will be a good day.", Lying on the bed Sanaya looked at the roof. Tonight was somewhat unique but that might have ended there, thinking so she closed her eyes. But those green eyes, she coul
Nick left. He didn't knock at the door again nor he was waiting for her.As Sanaya didn't get any call from Nick like Clara told her that he might call her, Sanaya was relaxed.It was the next day when she was going to a job interview, before leaving she looked at the mirror again to rehearse as it was her first job interview."Best of luck, girl. You can do it." Hearing good luck wishes from Clara Sanaya felt less nervous. To the interview venue, she kept encouraging herself. There were many more people to get the job, she was not sure whether she was going to get a chance even. All she wanted was to try her best and work for the top company in the city.She inhaled and exhaled while trying to calm herself. She was not even so nervous in her tenth-grade final exam but for her first job interview, she was damn nervous.From the outside, she was not but inside, she was NERVOUS. Before entering the interview room she breat
Nick let Sanaya go easily. Strange! He acted as if he believed her, he didn't utter any more words. She had a smile on her face as her task was accomplished."Are you sure he believed you? I think he'll come back soon.", Clara asked her, she couldn't believe she just fooled someone like Nicolas Davis.Sanaya had a sinister smile as she shot, "Of Course he did. I am good at lying after all.""You? Good at lying? I think I have heard it wrong. The Sanaya I know is bad at lying. And the idea of yours. I don't think someone like Mr. Nick will buy it.", Hearing Clara her smile fed away.It was not like she did not think of it. And true to say, she was a bit upset when she saw he gave up, he told her to go."Don't think too much. He might believe it. I was just kidding.", Clara could not see her sadness. She just wanted to console her but deep down she had a bad feeling that he was abo
"What--what are you doing?" Sanaya started trudging backward as he was stepping forward. He was making her nervous."Nothing much. I just want to test it, `` he asserted, not moving his eyes off her."Test? Test what?", She glanced at him questioningly but she was not getting a good feeling by the way he was looking at her. He was definitely thinking of doing something. Oh no! Did he understand her lying? She bit her tongue. Oh god, no. She prayed to her God."Whether you are really into girls or not.", He smirked devilishly as he kept strolling forward. Sanaya wanted to run away. Wait, what! He wanted to test whether she was interested in girls or… which means he was going to… NO!!! Sanaya thought she would push him away and run away when he held her hand and pushed her to the wall suddenly, making her more nervous.Sanaya swallowed hard as his eyes met her, his breathing was touching her forehead n
