Prologue

DATED= 2001, September 28

In Mumbai, India
In Agnihotri’s House
Residents and guest of Agnihotri House were having their early morning breakfast. While having Breakfast, the Cute Kiddo of the younger generation was continuously talking making the atmosphere more sweet than already it was. Suddenly it came to halt when a sudden knock was heard on the door. Soon someone outside the door continuously started to knock.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

“Who could it be here in the Morning. I guess I should open the Door.” Says Shlok Agnihotri, father of cute kiddo. After saying this as he stood up and was going towards the door to open and to check but he was interrupted by his Cute Kiddo.

“Papaaa you sit and let me the Honours to check.” Says the cute kiddo in her adorable voice. She was raised like this by her father. At the age of three, she lost Her mother “Aastha Shlok Agnihotri” due to Cancer. Though Shlok was heartbroken at losing his beloved wife and he knew soon he would have to cope up with his loss for his Daughter, who is the remaining Love-Symbol of their Love. And She was the only symbol left of his late wife. And since then single-handedly he handled his Business and looked after his Baby Girl “Khushi”. Whoever sees her, only praises her upbringing as though being a single parent Shlok gave her very good upbringing. She was growing up with Love, Pamper, Care, Tender & Manners.

And being the Mannered girl, she immediately interrupted her father and stood up to open the door not knowing She shouldn’t have.

“Okay Betaaa” says the proud Father of the Kiddo.

Khushi smiled at her Father not knowing she is going to smile at her father like this for the last time as after this She will not be getting any opportunity. She walks towards the door not knowing what is bound to happen which would change their Entire Life and opens the Door. After opening the door what She sees confused her seeing strange Five-Men standing.

“Yes?” She questioned those Five-Men still maintaining her adorably sweet voice.

Khushi’s voice was left unheard by them. One of them didn’t reply to Her. In fact one of them pushed Her. Seeing Her being pushed, Arnav & Khushi’s Father stood up from their chair leaving their Breakfast behind. Shlok along with Arnav were hell angry at their actions that first they dared to enter in their house and then pushed the Kiddo of the house. But still maintaining his composure, Shlok walked towards the Five-Men to take Answers that who are they and how do they dare to push his Daughter? And on the other side Arnav was looking At Five-Men confusingly feeling he has seen them somewhere.

“Why do I Feel I know them? Why do I Feel and sense some Danger? And who are They? Why do I Feel that I do know them and I did see them Somewhere? But where? Arnav. THINK THINK THINK.” A confused Arnav begins to question himself as his gut feeling never goes wrong. He closed his Eyes and with all his might He tried to remember them. But it’s all in Vain. After taking much time to remember them in a Flash He opens His Eyes Fearingly. Was hell worried, shocked and scared.

“Nooo. It can’t be.” says Arnav in a terrified voice and his body shivered hearing screams of Khushi. Shouting at those Men who pulled the trigger from their Revolver and shot her father. She screamed for their Lives. But before he could do anything His WORLD GOT SHAKEN with the amount of Pain He felt and endured. Next Seconds, He saw one of them Firing at HER and worst He wasn’t able to do anything for Her or fight for Her. Seeing His Love with tattered Dress and bullet which hit Her Lower End of Spinal Cord (Lumbar Region) and seeing Her unconscious, Tears rolled down from His Eyes being so much helpless.

He cried, He tried to scream but no voice was coming out of his mouth. Next he tried to touch his pale shattered little Khushi’s body, who was just too close to Him but wasn’t able to Touch as if His Body had GIVEN UP. Crying endlessly continuously and Non-Stop. Then behind Him a Man came and Hit Arnav on His Head. Blood started to come out from His Hairs and Ears but still he was conscious and was remembering all the Moments he got to spend with His Khush. Seeing Khushi’s Body lying on the floor, tears continuously started coming out from His Eyes. And says with all the Pain.)  

“I Love You Khush! I’m also Coming!”

Saying this he too closed his Eyes and then all things went Black and Numb. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that like with Khushi, Arnav too has gone. His Soul has left his body. And he was Soulless.
