Chapter 1
The usual ...... its going to be the intro for the FL and the ML........ Our Thamanna and Vaibav.
Thamanna(called Tham by her peers), born in a family with power and wealth in X city. Tham's dad, Magaranthagam, is a powerful man in his city. Now to increase that power to more cities, his wonderful brain has come up with a wonderful plan........the all-time favorite" Marry the least loved / ignored daughter to a Bad Bad guy who is twice as powerful but zero heirs" plan. And Tham is just that daughter.
Tham's only aim in life is to live her life away from her dad's clutches. And she was able to do that thanks to her dad's mistresses after her mother's death and later his new wife , all hating her ................ she lived all of her childhood in boarding school. All kids yearn for love from their parents... especially girls year for their dad's love...... but then she just wanted to be away from her dad..........away from the a***e she had to face after her mom's death.
Magranathagam, her dad doesn't like it if things are not in his control........ So.....for him ..he is controlling her by putting her in a boarding school.......while, for her, it's an escape zone from pain.......festivals and summer vacations suck.......
Going to college was another struggle.......... She wanted it even more away from her home, mostly 5 or 6 provinces away from her city. But she knew her dad would definitely be against it......... While she was racking her brain with all sorts of reasons to use to convince her dad.........her dad had already got her admission to NNS college in M province, much to her surprise. Though it's not far away from home ,......its two provinces away........that's......... suspicious .....why would he do that.......? Because his dear wife fought with him to put her in another province as her presence makes her suffocate.......and she cant stand seeing her every day............
This will probably be the only time Tham was grateful to her......
Tham was happy....... but she wanted to be even more away from them.........so just one month after her college started she found a college in W province, the W-State college. Since she is the ignored child, they signed whatever papers she asked a signature for .... claiming to be the NNS college's forms...... They never bothered to look at the forms.....even a sign for her is a burden for them.... They never doubted her.......she was an obedient child according to them who wouldn't dare to go against their decision. They would occasionally call her to know whether she is coming home for vacation or festivals...........mostly it'll be her stepmom calling her to ask her not to come.........she does visit her home rarely..........five years away from them again......this time there is a difference. She made good friends.....more like sisters....... They helped her get a good part-time job during her college days........after four years, she got a great paying job. She even secretly sold her mom's property and got an apartment for herself....
Just a few months after she got her job, a call came from her dad......about her marriage with Rayapa. Rayapa is twice her age.......his first wife killed herself(or so they say).....second wife disappeared one day and was found dead a month later....... He is the man supporting big politicians and businessmen doing dirty work for them for money and property .........now he himself holds political power........... In return for his support..... Magaranthagam sold Tham to him .................
She cut the call immediately..........they don't know where she is exactly...........they think she is in M province...........but she is in W province. The only connection they had with her was her phone number..........if that number is gone, there is no way for them to find her............she quickly discarded her phone......... changed cities .......changed jobs.......even her bank. After a few months, she sold her apartment for a good price.........and this time she decided to settle for a rental one.......that would be easy if she had to run again.
Three years...........she had a great time.....though she missed her friends........but her life was never more peaceful .......is what she thought when demons came knocking on her door. They found her.......it took some time, but they did it.....hard work. She was captured ......forced into marriage with Rayapa.....tight security.......not because they expected her to escape.........but it was to protect the marriage ceremony from being destroyed by Rayapa and Magaranthagam's enemies. When they were busy with their "defense" plans............
.........Tham escaped from the marriage hall.........
She already wore her comfortable jeans under her super heavy long skirt...........she had an escape bag ready with necessary things....... The makeup girl and her half sister were always with her............ Tham asked for water as she was feeling dizzy....... Pradanna, Tham's half sister, looked down on her and said" your whole life is sinking in water little by little......if it were me i would have killed myself.........but look at you...your in a good mood ".............
"How does asking for water have anything to do with my mood.......... If I faint during the ceremony......will you take responsibility.?... OK, didn't dad tell you how important this marriage is......... OK.... I'll ask the makeup girl to get it for me" said Tham.
Tham didn't spend these seven years only studying and working..........she learned self-defense.......though it is not much......but it is enough to escape from them.........she has a great talent for running .........she knows that she only has a small-time window before which they find out...........so when the makeup girl went out she got up from her chair, hit Pradanna at the back of her neck and took the bag out from behind the table.......put her sister on the chair and covered Pradanna with her skirt (that long super heavy one) and the shawl.....took a jacket from her bag and wore it and ran through the front door.(As no enemies with brains would attack openly through the front door(as per the brilliant goons of Rayapa and Magaranthagam), security was almost none)..........as many relatives used to come the day before the marriage......people were busy focusing on them.......while Tham sneaked out like a rat(rat would sneak in.........she sneaked out)....................
It took them some time to realize that she ran away.......but still they caught up with her(because they searched for her in a car while she ran on foot).....she ran again..... into the bushes along the roadside to hide from plain view........time was past 12 am.......bushes were the safe zone for her, but she can't do that forever....... They had to leave that place and search for her somewhere else........that's the only way she could escape from there........... Just then, she saw a group of people...standing on the roadside before a car..........all looked like they belonged to the same family........ Tham thought if she asked them for help just to hide her a few minutes in their car until the goons are gone.......one can easily find out that she ran away from marriage as she removed her skirt and shawl from the bridal set, but the blouse top was still on with all her bridal makeup and jwellery......she didn't have the luxury of time........even though she wore a jacket she unzipped it a little as it was hot, but she had to run again immediately..........so its not hard to find out that Tham is a runaway bride......she slowly went through the bushed towards the road to ask that family for help because its a highway .......there were not many cars and buses only stop at bus-stops.....she was scared to ask for lift too......but this family was of grils, aunties, uncles,.... there were two more cars behind the one standing in front .......so basically this is her only safe option.
