Chapter 1

Scene 1
Radhika House

There was a commotion in the house because a great saint had come from Haridwar to her house today. He was specially called today so that he could read Radhika's horoscope and tell her parents when the auspicious time for marriage would come and how her married life would look like.

Mahant ji: Mehra ji, I have seen your daughter's kundali. Believe me, such kundali is seen in very few girls and I have never seen such a strange kundali in my life.

Rakesh Mehra( Radhika's Father) : Swami Ji, what did you see? Please tell me in detail. I am anyway very worried about my daughter's future.

Mahant ji: I don't understand if I should say this or not but I have known you for many years so I will not hide anything from you. Such love is in her destiny that the entire world would be destroyed for her, perhaps no one else in the world would have got such pure love. That man would fight with everyone in the world for her. But this girl will pray for his death, this kind of strange love is written in her horoscope. The world will testify to this man's love for centuries that he in this world has loved your daughter with such intensity. Even if the whole world turns against your daughter, he will still stand as a shield for her, will support her in front of everyone, will be ready to face any difficulty for her, but she will not let him live in peace. Separation from your daughter will feel like death to him; he will not be able to live even a moment without her. Just pray to God that someday your daughter's heart melts and she finds the true love for which she has come into this world.

Rakesh Mehra: What are you saying Maharaj Ji, if my daughter gets such a loving husband then why would she torment him, I am sure my daughter will not do anything like this.

Mahant ji: When did I say that that man will be her husband. I have just told you about the man's love for your daughter which will neither let him live in peace nor die in peace. You just pray to god that this love story gets a happy ending or else it will cause a disaster that nobody can tolerate.

Rakesh Mehra: After listening to you, I am now scared, Guruji. I don't know what the future holds for my daughter.

Mahant ji: Without the will of God, nothing can happen in this world, so what are you and I? Whatever is in God's mind will happen. Now, please allow me to go from here. It's time for my prayer.

Rakesh Mehra: Ji guruji.

Scene change

At Government Medical College Mumbai

MBBS final year exams were going on. There were two professors in each class room so that they could monitor the students to ensure that they do not cheat.

Radhika: Mehak yaar tell me the answer of MCQ no.28.

Mehak: Radhu , what kind of doctor will you become, you always pass by cheating.

Radhika: Yeah, as if I wanted to become a doctor by choice. Stop irritating me and tell me the answer.

Mehak: It's B.

In this way somehow Radhika completed her exam and came out of the classroom.

Mehak: Dude, did you see the news or not?

Radhika: Why? What happened that I should have watched the news.

Mehak: Arjun Agnihotri's men have once again created havoc in the entire country. Yesterday they kidnapped a minister's daughter in broad daylight. Common people like us get scared just by hearing his name, I don't know why God brings such people on earth.

Radhika: He is a very dangerous beast. God knows when people like him will be hanged. It seems as if he has taken over the whole country and is showing his dominance everywhere; everything is under his control, from the government to the ministries, everything. No one has the courage to fight him, everyone is roaming around as his puppet. This man has spread terror among the people. A person's life doesn't matter to that man. That scoundrel crushes people like insects and moves ahead. I don't know when our country will get rid of people like these. And btw do not take the name of such cruel person early in the morning, otherwise our whole day will be ruined. Don't you know this?
