“Say Shyam, do you know who I am?”

“Mhmmm” His mouth is still covered, how is he supposed to speak? He nod no.

“hahaha.. That’s right how could you know me..” He snickered as his goon handed him his alcohol bottle.

“RAGHVENDRA PRATAP RATHORE. Your ex-wife’s half- elder brother” He signal take it cloth on his mouth off.

“Ahh.. ARVIND MALIK’S? Son?” Bastard son Shyam said in his mind.

Rathore lit up his cigarette out of habit and suddenly remembered her.

“Stay away.. I told you for 37th time I don’t like this smell. Why won’t you stop smoking?” Her angry voice sounded so cute. His chest is burning painful. You don’t love her.. You don’t want her.. Never forget your plan, he reminds himself and he continues to smoke.

“You want REVENGE right? I will help you.. I will do anything.” Shyam pleaded in fear.

“Do you thing I need your help.. Haha Interesting.. Everything.. Everything that is happening is all of it according to my plan.” Once Rathore make moves nobody can stop him.

Rathore looked at him boredly and signal goon to finish him off.

He went back to his hotel in drunken state with a woman accompany him.

She looks worried for him.

He switched on music and they started to dance. He swirl her around until she falls into his arms. His dark eyes looked at her. He start to laughing again, he is going insane right?

He went back to his drawer and take a bunch of medication inside it. He took it and looked back at the lovely lady who is smiling at him.

He changed into his robe while she is there.

“Why won’t you disappear darling? It is because I cheated you? I’m so sorry. It’s all ARVIND MALIK’S FAULT which we all his children will be paying for, sorry to drag you into this mess.”

“Shyam won’t disturb you anymore. Only I have the rights to hurt.. Because I am your..” HE FALLS ASLEEP.

In his empty room with no one but himself.
