Our Shallow Past

A plan to your heart.

~Year 1992..

Those were the days when a don named Malaya used to rule the under world. Smuggling of drugs and weapons was his main occupation. But just to blanket his illegal work, he was a chairman of textile industry.

His network were all over India for which he had hired some people to take the incharge of those places. Looking at this no one might believe his past. He used to do petty thievery.

Now let's get back to present. Apart all of his illegal works he had a soft corner in his heart for needy and poor. His life was going all smoothly when suddenly on his way a speed breaker came in.

For 15 years in his profession no one ever tried to mess up with him. But one day a journalist wrote an article about him and his illegal works. It was for the first time someone had provoked him. Just because of someone's tinny tiny 1000 words article, his whole 15 years of business in underworld had experienced an earthquake. But that was for a short while after all he was a Don. But he was now a little scared, that one day his whole empire would collapse in just a blink.

Malaya was sitting in front like a king in his court surrounded but his ministers.

"Sir, this one article really made us fall in trouble, we can't spare that journalist like that or else." One said with a worried voice.

"Don't worry baba, I will handle that jerk." Vijay said.

You all might be thinking who this Vijay guy right now. He is Malaya's son. Just after Malaya's wife died Vijay was all taken care by his father. All the techniques of his business was inherited to Vijay. He was like a right hand of Malaya. Now let's return to our story.

"No Vijay, you don't have to do anything right now, after you go shot by the gun, I can't take a risk now. You will take rest, let Mira handle this task." Malaya said. Vijay smiled and nodded. "But where is she?" He asked. Malaya laughed and replied. "Where do you think she will be? Riding her bike near the bridge her favourite time pass." Vijay smirked and nodded. "Now how more cool can she be?" He thought.

Again.. now you all might be thinking who is this Mira. She is Malaya's adoptive daughter. Not like other girls who like long hair and girly dresses, She was a tomboy, with hair till her shoulder length. If Vijay is Malaya's right hand, Mira was Malaya's strength that made his whole body work . Malaya loved her like her own daughter. Even Vijay did, but not like a brother. He had a crush on her since they were young. Mira never knew about his feeling because she was never into this lovely- dovey romance. She only looked Vijay has her best friend. Now let's get back to the story.

Mira was riding her bike on the bridge which she loved to so, every time when she is not in her mood to do work. As she was riding she saw a guy looking down from the edge of the bridge. She immediately concluded that he was going to jump from there and end his life.

Without any other thought she raced her bike towards him and shouted at him to stop. He turned behind to look at her. She's stoped the bike in front of him and got down from her bike and held his hand. "Are you mad? Why are you going to kill your self?" She asked. He gave her a confused look. "What? I just looking down." He said.

Mira paused for a while. She was dumbfounded. She face palmed herself and looked at the guy. "I am sorry." She apologised and was about to go when suddenly he called her "Excuse me . Can you please drop me till the city. My driver has went away for an emergency work." He said. She look at him and smirked. "Ok, it will be like an apology from me." She said. He smiled and thanked her.
