Her Name Is Maya

Rudra returned home after chasing Manvi's sister Janvi. He could feel the more he was trying to reach closer to the case, new problems would be thrown at him. He needed answers. When Janvi said her sister Manvi trusted only him, Rudra went in a dilemma if he knows Manvi way before he knew himself?

MJ came across his way. Rudra stopped and looked at him.

"How come you are here?" MJ mocked at him.

"I am here to tell you that I am done with this case. No more fights, no more you vs me, no more harm to her reputation at all" Rudra said. MJ walked ahead and stood in front of him.

"But I am not done yet," he said. Rudra looked at him confusingly when a black mask covered his face. Rudra struggled hard to get away but felt a pinching sensation of a syringe on his skin and a fluid passing through his body. Rudra felt his body getting weak.

He was dragged somewhere and thrown on the floor. When the mask uncovered from his face, he found himself in the darkroom. Some men came forward and started beating Rudra. He tried to dodge but his body felt weak because of the effect of the drug.

After some time, the men stopped beating him.

Rudra tried to get up with his bloodies hands. He felt a sharp pain in his body. He coughed some blood. His throat dried up. He saw two pairs of boots in front of his face. He looked up with the same rage at MJ. He knew how much MJ stoop low to win the case. But what's in this case that was making MJ to be cruel to Rudra?

MJ bend in his knees and looked at Rudra with a cunning face. He caressed his hand on Rudra's head and clenched a handful of hair.

"How dare you call her YOUR girlfriend?" MJ said in a meaning hoarse voice.

Rudra did not utter any word.

"You did the mistake in the past, you are still doing it again" MJ venomously said. Rudra stared at him, without saying anything. What is MJ talking about? What past mistakes?

MJ got up leaving Rudra and went to the table. His men stood around in the dark.

MJ returned at Rudra, holding something in his hand. He bends down again. Rudra stayed still. He wanted to know a lot of things. The only thing he could do was stay as it is and take all the wrath.

MJ sighed.
"I thought you will never remind that again but seems like I will have to do that again"

Rudra looked at MJ. He attached something on Rudra's head. Something wired. Rudra kept looking at what was happening to him. He needed answers. MJ was revealing something in puzzles. Rudra wanted to break his puzzle.

Rudra saw MJ holding something in his hand. A little remote.

"I am sorry Son. But you need to forget everything again"
MJ said and pressed the button.
Rudra felt a sharp electric shock went through his nerves of the brain, as he closed his eyes in pain and screamed in the agony, hitting deep in his mind. Rudra screamed from the core of his stomach, his loud heart-wrenching voice filled the darkroom. Everyone heard it but stood like no one heard it.
Rudra started feeling his body started burning, his eyes rolled back and something flashed in his mind. A face that he never forgot, the eyes that held all the secrets and the name that could never vanish from his heart.

"I love you, Rudra Roy..."

A girl screamed from the top of her lungs. Everyone in the crowd gathered in the assembly hall of the college, looked at her. Even Rudra stopped talking on the mic. It was the first time he got interrupted by someone like this. The new fresh face of Lawyer Rudra became pretty popular when he resolves the case of molestation with a strict punishment to the molester. He became the hero and heart stealer of all the girls and women because of this. After publishing a new law informative book for women, he came to Xavier's for the promotion of it. The first few minutes went fine but when the questionnaire started, this specific girl in the crowd fetched his attention with her tricks.
