Flashback starts

     Mr.khurrana of Khurrana industries had a girl child Sujata. Sujata was a bubbly straightforward and easy-going girl who wanted to live life to the fullest. Her mother had died in a car accident. Although Mr Khurrana survived he had suffered fatal injuries and his condition was deteriorating day by day. He wants to settle his only child before something happens to him.

    On one fine day, Raj saw Sujata at a party and was quite impressed by her. He was adamant to get married to her. So he decided to find out about her and to his utter surprise, he found that she was the daughter of his arch-rival. Although Mr Khurrana was his arch-rival, he was so much in love that he thought of giving it a try.

      At this moment we know that Raj has just got hold of his father's company so he is a spoiled, arrogant and Stubborn person. The type of person who gets what he wants.

     The next morning at Khurrana industries.

" Sir Mr Kapoor wants to meet you." His secretary informed him.

"What the hell, why does he want to meet me?" Mr Khurrana was furious hearing this.

"That I don't know sir but he has asked to see you".

     Suddenly the door opens and Raj barges in, "good morning Mr Khurrana"

" Oh Please cut the formalities, what do you want from me?"

"Can't we talk like gentlemen? I have seen your daughter at a party and I quite liked her so I want to get married to her?"

"What nonsense, I won't marry my daughter to you even if you would have been the last person on this earth "

"Please sir I love her and will keep her like a queen"

"Mr Kapoor even if I want my daughter to marry you, then also I couldn't as she is already engaged and will get married in a fortnight"

"She is engaged, then break it, and by the way to whom she is engaged?"

"I can't and won't tell you about him. They both love each other"

"Is he better than me?"

"Oh, yeah, a hundred times better and wealthier than you.  Now that you have got all the answers.

Please excuse me." With that, Mr Khurrana stood up, an indication that the meeting was over.

Raj also gets up and moves out slamming the door shut.

   He didn't tell me anything. What does he think of himself? I won't be able to find out. I will find out and then by hook or crook, I will marry her.

    He found out that Sujata was engaged to Mr Mehrotra's son Harish.

        After finding it, he makes a plan and he gets some photos photoshopped, which consists of him and Sujata in compromising positions. He then sent those pictures to Mr Mehrotra and Harish. Not only this he got them circulated anonymously.

    On seeing those pictures Mr Mehrotra was furious. His face was red with fury. There was hatred in his eyes, he called his son.

" Harish come here immediately."

Harish was puzzled on seeing his dad.

" Yes dad, why are you fuming what happened?" He came near his dad.

"Did you look at these pictures?" Mr Malhotara threw some pictures on the table.

"Yes dad I have also received such pictures and I was just going to confront Sujata. There must be some confusion. She is not like that." Parish picked up the pictures and tried to defend Sujata.

"No need I'm going to that Khurrana's place and will break this engagement. I don't want such a characterless daughter in law."  His eyes were red with anger. His jaw tightened and he clenched his fists. He banged his fist on the table.

"Please dad let me ask her first. Please, dad, I love her please " Harish pleaded to his father. He tried to stop him.

" No way she will not be my daughter in law and if you will not listen to me then I will disown you and you will not get a penny from me and that is final." With this, he stormed towards his car and asked the driver to take him to Khurrana industries.

   He barges into the CEO office, and after throwing the pictures on his face, he shouted.

"What the hell is this?  You want your characterless daughter to be my daughter in law. I don't want to tarnish my image. I'm breaking this engagement. My son will get another girl as such I never liked your daughter". He threw the pictures on Mr Khurrana's face.

"Please listen to me, my daughter is innocent, it is a conspiracy."

But Mr Mehrotra was fuming and hence without listening to anything he stormed out of the room.

   This proved fatal and Mr Khurrana could not bear it. His face turned pale, he was breathless and with a thud, he plunged to the floor.

   On seeing him falling his secretary ran towards him and simultaneously called for an ambulance and Sujata. When they reach there he is declared dead. She was shocked on hearing this. Not a single drop of tear came from her eyes. She was dismayed.

    Suddenly she felt that someone was shaking her. She opened her eyes to find her best friend Naman standing there with teary eyes (Naman is an orphan who was brought up byMr Khurana).

 "Are you ok, uncle is no more."

Hearing this she cried her heart out.

"No this can't happen, he can't leave me. First mom left me and now dad. " She started wallowing because of too much stress she was unconscious.

    With the shock of her father's death, Sujata went into depression. Although she recovered she was always sad. She started going to her father's office but that was too depressing. One fine day Naman made her sit and then asked her.

"Do you know the reason for uncle's death, he was cold-bloodedly murdered. " Naman took a seat next to her and started drawing soothing circles on the back of her palm.

"What are you saying? Whoever did this, I will kill that person."

    Then slowly and gradually he told her everything which had happened on both days at Mr Khurrana's office.

"Is it true? I don't believe who told you all this rubbish."

"Gaurav (Mr Khurrana secretary)

told me he was present there at the time of both the instances. Now do you believe me? "He pauses for a few seconds, "don't you want to take revenge? We don't have any proof against him.  We can't do anything lawfully but we can take revenge on our own. Uncle was like my father. If you are hesitant then let me know I will take revenge on my own". Naman got up from his seat and moved to the door but stopped hearing her voice.

" But he will recognise me as such he has seen me." There were lines of doubt on her face.

"I know one plastic surgeon and he can do your plastic surgery"

After the plastic surgery, both of them conspired against Raj and finally were able to take revenge.

Authors note

   Raj came to know about this incident and felt guilty about it. It was not his intention to hurt anyone. He was just obsessed with her; it is this incident that changed him for good.
