Varun sat at his desk, staring at the numbers flashing on his laptop screen. The stock had peaked.
Sintex Industries Ltd. had done exactly what the Stock Market Prediction System had shown.
The price had doubled in just one week and now stood at ₹108 per share.
Varun took a deep breath, then clicked SELL.
━━━ STOCK SOLD SUCCESSFULLY ━━━
[Total Profit: ₹6,48,000]
His trading account balance now showed ₹6,48,000.
"Just one more investment to reach my first million."
A slow smirk formed on his lips. He was getting closer.
But before that, there was something more important to do.
Leaving Home – A New Beginning
For his entire life, his parents' house had felt like a prison.
Every day, his father looked at him like he was worthless. Every moment spent in that house reminded him that he wasn't wanted.
But now? He had money. He had control.
And he didn't need to be there anymore.
That evening, he sat in the small living room, facing his parents. His mother, Lakshmi, was peeling vegetables in the kitchen, and his father, Ramakrishna, was reading the newspaper, as usual.
Without hesitation, Varun said, "I'm moving to Mumbai."
His mother stopped cutting the vegetables. His father lowered his newspaper, staring at him.
"Mumbai? For what?"
Varun kept his voice calm. "I'll be staying with a friend while I look for a job."
His father scoffed, shaking his head. "You think moving cities will change anything? Without talent, you'll be the same failure anywhere."
His mother sighed. "Why are you leaving? You could find a job here."
Varun looked at both of them, his face unreadable. "There's nothing for me here."
His father leaned back in his chair. "Do whatever you want. But don't come back crying when you fail."
The words didn't affect Varun. Not anymore.
"Let them think what they want. Soon, the world will know my name."
Without another word, he went to his small room and began packing his few belongings. A backpack with some clothes, his laptop, and his phone.
Everything else? He didn't need it.
As he zipped his bag, a thought crossed his mind.
Ananya.
Saying Goodbye to Ananya
Varun stood outside Ananya's house, watching as she stepped out, confusion in her eyes.
"You're… moving to Mumbai?" she asked.
He nodded. "Yeah. I need to start fresh."
Ananya frowned, folding her arms. "That's sudden. You didn't even tell me before."
Varun simply shrugged. "I had to make a decision. It's better this way."
She studied his face for a long moment. "You seem different lately."
Varun smirked slightly. "Maybe I am."
She sighed, then gave a small smile. "Well… I hope you find something good there. Good luck."
Luck?
Varun chuckled internally.
"I don't need luck anymore."
But he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he nodded. "Take care, Ananya."
And with that, he turned and walked away.
Arriving in Mumbai
The train roared into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.
Varun stepped off, breathing in the humid air of Mumbai. The city was alive with energy—people rushing, cabs honking, street vendors shouting.
A city where fortunes were made and lost.
"This is where I start my real journey."
He had already made arrangements to stay with an old college friend, Aman, for a few weeks. Aman had been one of the few people who had stayed in touch with him after graduation.
As he arrived at Aman's small one-bedroom apartment in Andheri, his friend greeted him with a grin.
"Welcome to Mumbai, man! Finally decided to escape Hyderabad?"
Varun smiled. "Something like that."
Aman gestured inside. "It's small, but it's home. You can stay here until you get settled."
Varun thanked him. But in his mind, he already knew—he wouldn't need to stay long.
Because soon, he'd be able to afford his own place.
Checking the Next Investment
That night, as Aman slept, Varun sat cross-legged on the floor, laptop open.
He activated Stock Market Prediction.
The blue system screen flickered before his eyes.
━━━ STOCK MARKET PREDICTION ACTIVE ━━━
[Scanning upcoming stock trends…]
SEARCHING…

Varun's eyes narrowed. Eicher Motors?
Then, he remembered.
Royal Enfield motorcycles.
In 2010, Eicher Motors was still a growing company.But in the coming years, Royal Enfield would dominate the Indian motorcycle market.Investors who bought in early would become millionaires.
"This stock will double in 10 days."
Varun didn't waste time.
He logged into his trading account and made the investment.

Varun leaned back, a confident smirk on his face.
"The final step to my first million."
As he closed his laptop, he felt something shift inside him.
For the first time in his entire life… he was truly free.
No more dependence. No more begging for respect. No more being looked down upon.
From here on out, he controlled his own destiny.
