TRAILER
His hate broke me. His brother healed me
When we were five years old, I saw her for the very first time. ISHITA DESAI. She was the child model for the first cry, at my mother's shoot.
When she joined our school in first standard and sat next to me the first day, I had decided that I would marry her when I grew up.
I remember when I told her, she cried in the arms of her daddy. But as we grew up, she started to love me back.
At sixteen, we shared our perfect first kiss.
At eighteen, we shared our first amazing night.
She was the love of my life, and I was going to marry her and spend my entire life with her happy ever after but the night of her 24th birthday, ruined everything.
That accident took her and my unborn child away from me and made me crippled.
And for murdering the love of my life and my unborn child, I am not going to spare that fucking criminal.
He was the son of Dr. Rudra Pratap, the same doctor who treated my parents when I was six for free, who funded my expenses when they passed away, and I owe my entire life to him hence, when his crippled son asked me to marry him, I thought it was the perfect way to repay his father's kindness
But I didn't know that Yug Pratap led a dual life. He was something else in front of his family, and something else in front of me
Riddhi
You... You can walk?
Yug
Disappointed? Your plan failed to make me disabled for my entire life?
Riddhi
What? What are you talking about?
Yug
You are the drunk driver that night who caused that accident and took everything away from me Now I am going to take everything away from you. Every. Single. Thing.
One drunken mistake that I don't even remember happening, made my life a living hell.
Yug
*thrashed his tidy study with his own hands while Riddhi stands there and watches him**
Riddhi
What are you doing?
Yug
I want you to clean this up in three hours. Everything should be arranged exactly the way it was, or else I am going to make you pay for it.
Riddhi
*tidies the study but arranges the files in the wrong order**
Yug
*smirks realizing she made a mistake** I arrange my files according to the dates, and not alphabetically. You made a mistake Riddhi Singh, now get rid of your fucking clothes and drop on your knees.
I was guilty, I escaped the law so, he took the law into his own hands.
Riddhi
P-Please! Yug, let me go. I-If you really think I murdered your fiancé, I will surrender to the police, send me to the prison. I do not want to be tortured like this.
Yug
And Ishita didn't want to be murdered, BUT DID YOU CARE?! THEN WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I?!
That house was my prison where I was fated to be tormented until Yug decided it was enough. I thought that's what my fate was, but fate had other plans.
In the utter darkness that my life was right now, I found him as the ray of hope, his brother, Riaan Pratap.
Riaan
What are these bruises? Are you hurting yourself?
Riddhi
If I tell you the truth will you believe me?
Riddhi
It's your brother who is doing this to me.
But Riaan's love for me wasn't stronger than Yug's hatred for me. And the crime he thought I committed, I had to pay for it with my life
So, I chose to be in the darkness... Breaking the heart of the one person who loved me with all his life
Riddhi
I am sorry... I can't be with you Riaan.
Riaan
But he is hurting you.
Riddhi
And I deserve to be hurt. I am a MURDERER.
Riaan
YOU HAVE PAID ENOUGH FOR IT.
Riddhi
He is your brother. You can't do this to your brother. I am his wife and so, you should leave me to my state and move on in your life
Riaan
You're choosing hate against love?
Because I deserved this darkness
I deserved to be punished by the man I took everything away from because of a moment of fun that night.
