An year later
Singhania Villa
It was a stormy night. A big hurricane was brewing. Rain was battering the city of Mumbai. A city which never sleeps was brought to a complete halt by nature. Nature is merciless. It kills without looking at your position, money or power in the society. And nature is emotionless too. It can forget the destruction. And new life comes again after destruction.
BUT A HUMAN HEART CANNOT FORGET.
NOR CAN IT FORGIVE..
And Dragon does not kills or eliminates. He makes his enemies extinct.
Adhiraj Singhania knew this. He was 60 years of age. He was tall and still walked straight. He has a greying hair and was now retired. His son has taken over the reins. He has seen many storms in his life. He lost his wife two decades earlier and lost his daughter and son-in-law in quick succession. There were attempts on his life too. And also on his son's . But they were seasoned players.
SEASONED PLAYERS IN THE WORLD OF CRIME.
He was not even shocked at how his son's wedding ended. Personally he disliked the girl. Her eyes were untrustworthy. Well at his age and in his profession you can read faces. He tried to warn Sumeet. But..
No use dwelling over the past.
The past was over however painful it was. But we mere humans are way below the natural forces. His son's heart was scarred permanently. Nothing could cure him. Or the vengeance that drove him.
In an year he brought down a half century old empire to rags. Well he broke lose on them like a Tsunami. The girl escaped but he was sure she had a fate worse than death waiting for her. Meanwhile Kappors were on the side of dragon's mouth. And he breathed fire on them. Their allies disappeared, loans piled up. Investors dried up. Projects collapsed, employees left. And Reputation
IT WAS IN TETHERS.
Well they were struggling even to breath. For even air that went to them needed dragon's permission now.
And hence the idea of this remedial marriage. Kapoor's last saving move. But even this did not shock him. Of course Kapors were seeking forgiveness. Pardon. Begging for it.
" Mr. Singhania I have 8 other grand daughters. Touch them and they are yours", Shanti devi suggested.
It would have not shocked Adhiraj if she had given all of them as Harem gift to his son. They had no use to her. The only thing that mattered was dragon's acceptance and a heir born out of her blood to him.
Adhiraj was ready for mockery. Disdain, insult, even physical violence from his son.
But what Sumeet did completely shocked him.
" OkayShant Devi", smiled his son." Let me meet them all again", he said.
And he declared a TRUCE.
A TRUCE TO THE WORLD.
Within a week Sheetal's replacement was selected.
" Lets sign a contract", said Sumeet to Shanti Devi. " If the marriage fails the second time you surrender your another grand daughter to me along with a chunk of your business . If all of them fail business is mine and you leave the country".
She readily agreed.
" It won't fail", she promised.
" We'll see", smirked Sumeet.
Of course it will fail knew Adhiraj.
Dragon planned everything to precision. Well already his vendetta has destroyed many things. He cannot let his son waste away. He decided to talk to him.
Sumeet's room
Sumeet Singhania
29 years of age.
6'2. 8 pack abs. Athletic.
Nick named Dragon
Business tycoon. Underworld Mafia.
With a cold and dark aura
Adhiraj hovered outside his son's room. Sumeet was drinking. A half empty whiskey bottle sat in front of him on table.
Adhiraj was worried.
" You can come in daddy. I won't bite", came a voice.
" Yeah you did that after your teething finally finished", said Adhiraj. " Thank God for that".
Sumeet smirked.
" I believe you are here to make a last appeal to my conscience ", he raised a brow.
" You don't have to do this", said Adhiraj. " I never blamed you".
Sumeet stared into horizon.
" It was his dying wish", he said simply.
" What about your life? Your love? Your marriage"? His father was exasperated
" My life has to wait", said Sumeet.
" A man bend on revenge digs two graves", said Adhiraj.
" In one lies my heart ", replied Sumeet.
" Along with him. The other one is waiting for Kapoor's daughter ."
" What about this other girl? You sure she will go ahead with wedding. She is some kind of painter". Adhiraj scrunched his nose.
Artists are frowned upin in business family.
" I do need a wife. One female is same as the other. A few drinks in and I can b*d her. You do want grandkids", smirked Sumeet.
" But", Adhiraj tried.
" No buts daddy", said Sumeet.
" Did you meet her and talked to her", asked Adhiraj.
" Shanti Devi offered but I refused. I need a wife not an employee."
" Then how did you", Adhiraj was saying.
" Daddy its over. Chanchal Kapoor wìll be my wife. You offer your blessings. That's all", he said.
" But get to know her", asked Adhiraj.
Suddenly a chill enveloped the room.
" I KNOW WHAT HER SISTER WAS LIKE", whispered Sumeet.
Ahiraj saw it in his eyes.
The cold chill of venegance.
" Then promise me that you will work on those grand kids. However disgusted she makes you feel", said Adhiraj.
" Deal", said Sumeet.
Adhiraj knew this was end of discussion. He could only pray for that unfortunate girl's life. He left.
" Promises", mused Sumeet.
He made one. On his friend's death bed.
" You can't leave me", he said.
" I am but I shall live. You will take that revenge. And my soul will be waiting until you give her back what she gave me".
" But we have to rule this world", he cried.
" Life happened my friend. And I don't have much of it left. So live it for me. And get me avenged", said his friend.
" I WILL", he promised.
" Goodbye", said the man.
And his bright eyes closed forever.
Eyes that held dreams. Dreams of a bright future for this city. He was the light to his darkness. Sun to the perpetual night that reside within him.
They killed the wrong man.
" And what was his fault. Being my brother", thought Sumeet.
Well the sun has set.
And the eclipse called dragon descended on this city now.
Only a miracle can save everyone now.
