In the vast meadows, in between the two huge hills , situated a huge tree under which a boy around the age of nine years old was standing. His eyes were following the little girl running towards him holding two yellow flowers and one white flower in her right hand . She was brightly giggling while running towards his direction with her small feet. He couldn't stop adoring her adorable yet cute sunshine figure.
He wanted to move forward and hug her but she had prohibited him from doing so. He was rebellious in nature since birth. He was not the one to take anyone's orders but she was different.He could only observe her with fondness. She finally reached him and gave him a huge smile.
" Abhi this is for you . Now don't be sad again." She said softly , her eyes shining in the process . She extended her arms to hand him the flowers ,she had brought for him .
It was enough to blew away the gloominess around him and shower him with happiness. She was too small compared to him . For a five year old self , she was growing healthily but he was having fast growth.
He took the flowers before carrying her in his arms.
" Thank you doll , but you shouldn't run like this. You will injured yourself." Little Abhiraj worriedly said .
" Don't worry Abhi, I am a strong girl. Nothing will happen to me " Each and every words of his little doll was like music to his ears . He adored her to death. If something had to happen to his doll , he will burn down the world into ashes . To him , his doll was his world.
When he was drowning into the depth of darkness, she came like fairy and showed him the light. Before her , his world used to black and white but after her his world became colourful and vibrant . In this harsh and cold world, her warmth and love was the only thing he needed.
He adored . He loved her . He worshipped the path she walked on . Needless to say he was infatuted with her . He was ready to do anything for her . Just to earn her smile, he wouldn't hesitate to crush the mountains into pieces.
" I won't even let anything happen to you. I will burn down the world for you , doll . I love you mine doll . Don't ever leave me doll , okay ? " The little girl didn't understand much of it but she mimicked his words .
" I also love Abhi. I will never leave Abhi" It might be some forgetful mere words for the little girl. But this words meant too much for someone who grew up in a toxic household without love and care .
In this world, his doll was his priority, everything else had zero value to him .
.
.
.
Following the next day, little Abhiraj went to the same place holding a bracelet made with beads . He had stayed all night to make one .
He waited for his doll but from morning it turned evening but there was no trace of his little doll . Worried he went to his doll's home. He knew her house since he would personally sent her home. He hoped to see his doll's cheerful smile but to his dismay , when he reached their he saw the broken condition of his doll's house. He got tensed and begun asking people around what had happened.
His doll's family consisted of her old ill grandmother , working uncle and aunt and school going cousin brother and sister . His doll's family weren't financially sound but they were happy .
From locals little Abhiraj came to find out that since few months some goons had been harassing his doll's family asking for money. But his doll's family were unable to provide such hefty sum . Hence they bulldozed off his doll's house and tried to kill his doll's family. But the local's helped his doll's family to escape from this place and now they have no idea , where his doll's family went.
Little Abhiraj didn't know what had came over him , but he was fuming. The only thing he could see was red . He wanted to torture those goons to death . How dare they touch his doll ?
" I will avenge you my doll and I will soon find you. Wait for me doll " . He sworn to himself.
But what he didn't know was at what cost his swear will be fulfilled.
In order to fulfill his oath , he had to became strong first but he was weak . For his doll he entered into his father's dark underworld, he was resisting with all his might. He trained himself in the deadliest condition. His struggle bore him sweet fruits. After five years , at the age of fifteen he was crowned as the king of underworld.
He gained the power he was working hard for. He didn't waste any more time to avenge his doll . He tracked down all the goons one by one and chopped them off in the middle of night. Drenched in blood, he took another oath that night .
" I will find you doll and will make sure you fulfill your promise of never leaving me again."
Something dark swirled in his blue eyes that night.
After nine years, Abhiraj had became the ruthless devil whom everyone feared . His dad and mom who once used to abuse him , now they weren't even dare to look in his eyes . He is the tyrant who has business world and underworld at his mercy.
He has power, money , mansions, cars...the only thing he was missing was his doll . He still hasn't been able to find his doll . His infatuation with his doll only worsened. He has his men looking for her everywhere.
" Once I find you doll , I will show you whom do you belong to . This time, you won't be able to leave me " Abhiraj vowed to burn this world,if he needed to find his doll .
.
.
Abhiraj abruptly woke with sweaty forehead and gloomy mood . He had one of the worst nightmare.
In his dream, his doll kept dieing under one circumstance or the other . Or kept disappearing while he hugged her . She was in her adult stage but her face was blurry .
His heart was thundering against his ribcage at the thought of his doll disappearing from his world.
" I will destroy this world if I don't get you , mine doll" Its wasn't some mere words but rather a promise .
.
.
Employees were at alert . Their boss was in extremely bad and till now has scolded multiple employees for multiple reasons. No one dare to breath in fear of retaliation. All had their head lowered minding their own business.
Abhiraj was in an extremely bad mood . The nightmare had made his mood sour . He was taking out his anger on the poor laptop. Suddenly his chambers door slightly creaked open.
" Sir , may I come in ? "
It was Akhil with some files .
" Come in "
Akhil shivered hearing his Boss's deep voice.
Fuck ! Boss is in very bad mood .
" Did you complete the task I had given you ?" Abhiraj asked without even looking up from his laptop.
" Yes sir, here is the information you have asked for" Akhil handed over the file to Abhiraj.
Abhiraj turned the pages one after another, going through the file. It had information about Myra's school life , her likes and dislikes, her hobbies and stuff like this . There were just some normal information but three things caught his attention. First of all , the information about her first ten years of life was missing. Second, twelve years old photo of Myra slightly resembled his doll's face . And third, she shared the same university as his younger brother Laksh , Vardhaman International University, except both had chosen different courses .
He took out her photo and continued to seriously analyse it .
" Akhil, where is the information of her first ten years of life " Abhiraj interrogated, his eyes never leaving Myra's childhood photo.
" Boss , I tried to gather information about Myra madam's first ten years of life . But no matter what I did , I couldn't find any information as if it was never there or it was deliberately tampered to hide her information. " Akhil explained , even he found it suspicious seeing missing information.
" Akhil, I don't care how much manpower or money you need to find out the information about her first ten years of life but I need to get every single detailed information her , got it ? " Abhiraj ordered.
" Yes sir "
Akhil was about to leave after getting dismissed by Abhiraj when he remembered something.
" Sir, I have small information about Myra madam but I have no proof to back it up . "
" Tell me what is it ? "
" Sir , I have heard before Myra madam turned ten , she used to live with her grandmother near the eastern coastal villages " . Abhiraj's eyes widened at the new found information.
" Akhil, I will raise your salary and give you promotion if you manage to find out each and every detail about Myra's life before she turned ten"
Akhil was extremely delighted. Who doesn't love a raise in salary and promotion ?
" Sir , I will get to work right away. Please give me one week of time " Akhil tried to control his excitement.
" Given "
" Thank you sir ... thank you so much . " Akhil was first to runaway after getting dismissed.
In his way , he accidentally bumped into Sejal. He was quick to apologise before hurrying on his way .
Abhiraj's chamber door again creaked open but this time it was Sejal who entered. Just like everytime, this time also she didn't ask for his permission.
" What's with your assistant, he seemed too excited and in hurry ? " Sejal asked taking a seat opposite of Abhiraj.
" Well I have promised him a promotion and raise in his salary if he manages to complete the mission, I have given him "
" Ohhh— Wait a second! Why do you seem to be in happy mood ? I heard that your have been a rage fire blowing dragon today ."
" Who gave you that information? " Abhiraj raised his eyes from the photo he has not stopped staring at since he received it from Akhil .
" Secret source" Sejal smirked . Abhiraj couldn't help rolling his eyes at her .
" None of your business" Abhiraj fired back .
" Tell meeeee na " Sejal whined. Abhiraj looked at her with disgust.
" That will work on your boyfriend, not on me. Now fuck off ! ".
" You are so mean and heartless Abhiraj. I have been such a loyal bestfriend to you . I have helped you to plot against your mother . I have helped you unveil your father's dark secret, you are using to blackmail your dad. I have helped you in all your dirty works and this is how you treat me ? I have been betrayed . I have been taken advantage. Oh God almighty, please punish this asshole " Sejal burst into fake tears .
" Are you done with your drama ? " Hearing how serious Abhiraj sounded , she dropped her act .
" Yeah " She nervously smiled . Even though she is his bestfriend, she knows how violent , scary and deadly he can be when he is serious.
" Now listen, I think I might have found out where is my doll. "
" WHERE IS SHE ? " Sejal was taken off guard by Abhiraj's words.
" I am not sure but I doubt that Myra might be my doll ". Abhiraj said sounding totally serious.
" And why you might think so ? " Sejal asked gulping down her own saliva.
" I ran a background check on her . The information about her first ten years of her life was missing. My assistant doubts that her information is being deliberately hidden. From certain sources , it has been found out that she used to live with her grandmother in some village near the eastern coasts. And my doll used to live in Vrindhya Village which is also situated near eastern coasts. Another thing her twelve years old photo slightly resembles my doll's face " Abhiraj's eyes sparkled as he explained.
" You still remember her face " Sejal asked in disbelief.
" Ofcourse! I can never forget my doll's face . Her warm smile, sparkling eyes , small nose .... everything about her was bewitching. I will soon find you mine doll " Abhiraj sounded happy.
Sejal was stunned by how handsome he looked while smiling. She had never seen Abhiraj smile so happily. She was happy for him .
Suddenly her phone rang , both her and Abhiraj's attention went to the caller's name . " Krishav " was written on it with a skull emoji. Sejal smiled nervously and picked the call . Abhiraj signalled her to put the phone on speaker and she complied.
~On Call~

[ Krishav : Haha , I am back did you miss me . Why didn't you come to pick me ? ]

[ Sejal and Abhiraj: WHATT !!!!! ]
[ Sejal : Spill the tea fast . ]
[ Krishav: Nah . First throw me a dinner party for me then I will give you the information. Bye ]
~ Call Disconnected ~
Krishav hung up the call . Sejal and Abhiraj couldn't help but to curse under their breath.
" Abhiraj don't worry we will find her soon " Sejal comforted. Abhiraj hummed, leaning back to his chair as he was again got lost in admiring the photo of twelve years old Myra . The more he tried to hold back , the more his lips broke out into smile .
Sejal was genuinely happy for Abhiraj.
But in her heart, she hoped Abhiraj's doll not to be Myra .
