The girl ran away. -Cha-1
Around the forests of Uttarakhand." A girl of around seventeen-eighteen years of age runs on the road and reaches the forest. The girl had a small bag on her back. The girl was wearing a long skirt, she had covered her face with the long scarf of her longskirt And she was just running to escape from anyone, she was running hiding in the forest, crossing trees, bushes and flowing water of the waterfall. And some goons were also running behind her.
She runs out of the forest again. And reaches a place which was a big field. When she looks ahead, it seems like a festival is going on there. These people seemed to be some different people, tribal type who are also known as tribes. But these people knew how to speak a little Hindi.
To save herself from those goons, the girl runs quickly and enters the same crowd. There is a huge pandal built ahead, and there is hustle and bustle all around.
There were small tents on one side of that pavilion, and inside those small tents, boys and girls were getting ready wearing wedding attire.
From which it was evident that marriages of many couples were taking place here. And those goons also chasing her, come towards the same crowd where marriages were taking place.
That girl had seen the goons. Now she was not able to understand. How should she escape from these goons? Then she looked here and there and entered a tent, where two girls were sitting wearing wedding dresses. One more wedding dress was kept in that tent.
Then that girl also came and sat in the middle of them in the same tent. Because one more dress was kept in that tent. Which was of the third girl. But that girl had not come, due to which one more dress was kept.
"Girls in the tent, why have you covered your face after seeing him?"
Girl "Don't let the dust stick to you, since this time. Otherwise, the face would have become dirty."
Girls "Ok, now open your mouth. There is no dust here
The girl now opens her mouth.
When those girls see that girl, they keep looking at her. And in their mind, such a beautiful girl. After looking at her like this for some time, the girls come to their senses.
"Then one of those two girls says, oh it's good that you have also come. Your marriage will also take place in this booth today. Get ready quickly. Today is your marriage too."
Those girls are unable to recognize that girl. They knew this much. There are weddings of many couples here. Perhaps this girl will also be one of them. The girls had come from far away tribes.
Here, that girl also had to save herself. She also thought in her mind, and while crying, "If she goes out, those people will catch her, then she will never be able to escape. This is better than this. Right now I will wear this pair and sit down. As soon as I get a chance, I will leave from here."
For me, I have to die on both sides right now. There is a well on one side and a ditch on the other. It is better to wear this wedding dress and see what my fate will bring. I have spent so much of my life listening to taunts. And when they did not get peace even with this, they sold me off."
"Now I will see what God does to me. I thought if I had studied a little further, then maybe I would have improved my life. I could barely study till 12th. Then she wipes her flowing tears and starts getting ready. The wedding dress was a skirt type short short skirt, only a little of her legs were visible from below. Which the women of the gypsies wear."
The girls sitting ready in the same tent, talking amongst themselves,
"This girl is so beautiful, just like an angel, her complexion is whiter than milk, it seems God has carved her with great care and leisure. Whoever this girl marries, that boy will be very lucky."
On the other hand, a 25-26 year old injured boy somehow manages to escape and comes towards the same pavilion. First, he paints himself with the mud from there. So that his blood and injury marks are not visible and no one can identify him.
Then he also enters the same crowd. Because he also had to save his life. And he also enters the groom's tent. Where two-three boys were getting ready.

When he looks outside and sees those people again, then 25-30 people were standing with weapons in their hands. And they were searching for him. He was alone, on top of that he was also injured. And he did not have any weapon at this time.
Everyone had big knives and revolvers in their hands. The knives were such as if they were used to slaughter animals. He was tired fighting with them.
That's why he too was unable to understand anything. He quickly picks up one of the groom's suits and wears it. The suit was such a kurta that it was too small for him. Still he wears it and covers his face with a 'sehra' (head scarf).
On the other side, that girl too had put on her veil and had painted her hands and feet in the color of mud. So that no one could recognize her and she would look like those people. Only the birth mark on her right hand was visible.
The girl sees a small knife kept there, she picks up that small knife and tucks it in the waistband of her lehenga and hides it with her big scarf. So that no one can see the knife.
