Set in the early 1970s: Reena, a trauma surgeon and the daughter of Bangalore's godfather, crosses paths with Mumbai's most notorious gangster, Rocky. Can the life-saving doctor and a life-taking monster find a common ground? Will they fall for one...
Man #1: Mama.. what a slender fish we caught. What should we do with it?
Hearing those men laugh at her.. defeated, she looked down at the sand beneath her feet. As she felt one guy approaching her, she instinctively shut her eyes and threw up her hands in defense. As she closed her eyes, she heard a bang, followed by her saree pallu falling back beside her. She opened her eyes to see the guy that grabbed her saari on the ground with blood pooling around his head, screaming in pain. She gasps and moves back in shock while the guy on the floor is slowly dragged out of her sight. When she lifted her head to comprehend what was happening.

There, she sees Rocky kneeling down as he pulls and turns the guy on the ground to face him. He raises his fist and sharply drops it onto the chest of the guy with great force. As he repeatedly punched him on the ribs and the face, the other guy tried to hold back Rocky from behind. The other guy runs to the nearby fish fry stand and grabs a knife. Reena, who was watching all this happen in slow motion shouted
Reena: Kn.. kn..KNIFE!!!!
Rocky got up and turned around. He choke held guy at an arms length, before he had a chance to swing the knife at him. As he held the guy's neck and lifted him up in the air rocky heard,
Reena: Lis..Listen!! That's enough. He will die.
With an angry frown, Rocky threw the guy down and looked at Reena. Still in shock, Reena is just stood there, not knowing how to react.
Reena: Did you really beat up those 14 people that you admitted?
Rocky with an irritated look, he shook his head and pulled the man that grabbed her saari. He broke his hand and dragged him to the iron bench that they sat on. He held his hair and bashed his head against the bench. Reena wondered her eyes and covered her mouth in fear. Hearing those screams, looking at Rocky, his blood covered hands and clothes, his angry face, she thought.. this was not the guy she first met. He looked unhinged. Trembling she pulled out a pager from her purse and paged the hospital to send an ambulance to the beach. She then took slow steps toward Rocky to say,
Reena: Lis.. listen!!! That's enough! They will die!!
Rocky: *Nodes his head* That's the idea. *Takes an empty conch and starts punching the other guy*
Rocky: 5 minutes.. I was gone for 5 minutes!!and I come back to see these piranhas gather around you. *bashes their skulls together*
Reena: Rocky STOP IT! If you don't, I will never see your face again!!
Filled with anger, Rocky stared at Reena while she looked stunned at the blood shed on the ground below. She knelt down to check their pulses and said,
Reena: I don't think they can survive. Stay and don't let them bleed out. We have to rush them to the hospital.
Reena runs to the road and flags down the ambulance.
Rocky: Very nice ra, both of you managed to ruin MY perfect day.. But madam is only concerned about your worthless lives. Arey.. Until now... I didn't dare touch Sona the wrong way. You pigs directly pulled her saree!!? The frustration I have is... *Rocky covers the man's face with his palm and forcefully pushes it into the sand below*
Other guy: Annaaa! Sorry Anna.. please let us go. My vision is blurry and I think I'll die. Please Anna.
Rocky: I still don't get it.. doesn't the girl fall in love with the guy that kills the men that harass her? Why is she confused between hero and villain?
Other guy: Kill aa? Anna anna.. beda Anna. Please!!
Meanwhile, Reena got the medication from the paramedics and rushes back to the beach along with the medical team and stretchers. While she struggled to pick them up, Rocky stopped her, searched the dying man's pockets for a cigarette and a lighter. He then sat down at the blood-covered bench and lit that cigarette.
Reena: The fact that you won't help the people you beat up is..
Rocky: Eh!! stop. Ask me to destroy them. Ask me to ruin their lives. Ask me to rip their hearts out and give them to you on a gold plate... But don't ask me to save their worthless lives and apologize. To save the assh*les that touched my sona.. MY SONA! that's just disgusting. Do whatever you want. I won't help... In fact.. If I come there, I will squeeze out their last breath.
Reena: *Disappointed, she exhales* Wow. I'm going to take them to the hospital and try and save their lives. If you even feel an ounce of guilt, if at all that's possible, then ... and only then.. come and talk to me. Otherwise, don't bother.
Reena left for the hospital. She rushed to reception and called the nurse and the attendant. She ordered scans and asked them to prepare an operation theatre. She called her junior doctors and 2 other surgeons to perform the intricate surgery before it was too late.
The scans came back. Broken arm, dislocated jaw, cracked skull and some broken ribs for the guy that commented on Reena and a compound fracture of a femur, compound fracture of hand and a crack in the skull for the guy that grabbed Reena's saree. She looked at the scans and discussed the case with her fellow doctors.
Doctor: This is ridiculous. It looks like there were in a really terrible road accident. Is that it Dr. Reena?
Reena: Umm... just discuss how to approach the case that's all. Thank you.
The doctor was confused by Reena's harsh demeanor. He went on to plan the approach and immediately started the surgery. Hours pass by but she and the other doctors found it difficult as the bones were broken at many places. The fragments were hard to find. And a few hours, they were able to clean up and save them.
Tired, Reena walked out of the operation theater. She stepped into her office room to take off her scrubs and relax. But at her table, on the chair, she finds Rocky sleeping.

———————————————————————— !!Very important!!
A/N: Hello my sweets! I am really very sorry! I wrote this part 5 times now. I know this was a bit action heavy but I hope you guys liked it.
So I have a few questions regarding the story line and I thought it's best to ask you guys. Should this just be a romance or was the comedy good? How was the action scene? What would you guys like to see further?
The reason I ask is because I have a broad understanding of how I want the story to progress but according to the stats, there are more views and votes for chapters 2 and 4. Then there's a dip for chapter 6.
Also, the storyline I have in mind is definitely not in the movie. Because our Reena is much self sufficient and complex than the movie Reena, the plot and their dynamics are is bound to change. I hope that's okay.
So tell me what you guys liked, what worked, and didn't work, as soon as possible and I will be sure to upload the next 2 chapters before this week ends. It can be the way I write, the scenes, the pictures I put in, the story itself everything! Tell me now! Comment comment comment! Alright take care guys.. Byeeee!! ❤️
