In the heart of a sprawling mansion, a room enveloped in darkness stood as the epitome of elegance and power.

A man stood before a mirror, his reflection a stark contrast of black and white. He was Rudraksh Singhaniya, a 27 year old multi-billionaire with a reputation that echoed throughout India's underground world as a feared mafia leader.

His attire exuded sophistication, a black tuxedo perfectly tailored to his frame, a crisp white shirt, and meticulously gelled hair. The glint of a gold watch adorned his wrist, a symbol of his wealth and influence.

Rudraksh's gaze was piercing, capable of instilling fear in even the bravest souls.

His icy demeanor masked a past marred by tragedy. Orphaned at a young age, he found solace in his grandfather, who was his sole source of love and support until fate separated them too.

Since then, Rudraksh had hardened his heart, becoming a man devoid of emotions, his ruthlessness unmatched.

As he descended the grand staircase, the servants who crossed his path bowed in reverence, their eyes averting from his formidable presence.

He took his place at the opulent dining table, where a lavish breakfast awaited him. Amidst the silence, his personal assistant, Vikram, entered the room.

Vikram : Good morning, sir.

He greeted with a tremble in his voice.

Rudraksh acknowledged him with a curt nod before inquiring,

Rudraksh : What's the schedule for today?

Vikram : A video conference with Russian clients and a lunch meeting with the board of directors, sir.

Rudraksh nodded in acknowledgment, his expression unchanged.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar resonated through the room, sending a shiver down Vikram's spine.

However, to everyone's surprise, Rudraksh's lips curved into a rare smile.

Through the doorway strode RYDER, a majestic panther that exuded power and loyalty.

Rudraksh's companion, trusted confidante, and perhaps the only being capable of softening his steely exterior.

As Ryder approached, Rudraksh's demeanor visibly softened, a unique bond shared between man and beast.

Vikram, taken aback by the sudden appearance of the formidable panther retreated in fear.

Rudraksh : Vikram, you see Ryder every day. What's there to fear?

Rudraksh's voice held a hint of amusement as he reached out to pat the panther's sleek fur.

Vikram : Sorry, sir.

Vikram stammered, his gaze fixed on the powerful animal by Rudraksh's side.

Though Ryder possessed the instincts of a wild beast, he adhered to Rudraksh's command with unwavering loyalty.

Rudraksh's extensive training had forged an unbreakable bond between them, a connection stronger than any human relationship.

Those who dared to challenge Rudraksh faced Ryder's wrath a fate worse than death.

The panther's presence served as a silent warning to all who crossed paths with the feared mafia leader.

As the day unfolded, Rudraksh navigated through the intricacies of his empire with calculated precision. The video conference with Russian clients proceeded smoothly, his commanding presence leaving no room for negotiation. At the lunch meeting with the board of directors, his decisions were final, his authority unquestioned.

*********************************

Naira stood in front of the old, cracked mirror in her small room within the orphanage.

Her slender figure was draped in a simple cotton salwar suit, the soothing white fabric contrasting beautifully against her sun-kissed skin.

Her long, silky hair cascaded down her back, reaching her waist in a cascade of ebony waves that shimmered under the soft morning light filtering through the window.

She carefully adorned herself with long silver earrings that swayed gently with her movements and silver bangles that chimed softly as she moved.

Naira, a 23-year-old orphan girl, had a quiet elegance about her, a grace that spoke of the hardships she had faced yet failed to erase the kindness in her eyes.

As a teacher by profession, Naira worked tirelessly at the government school, pouring her heart and soul into educating the children under her care.

But her dedication went beyond the classroom. She harbored a deep-rooted desire to work hard for the orphanage that had been her home for as long as she could remember.

After taking a final glance at her reflection, Naira emerged from her room to find the orphanage abuzz with morning activities. The 45 children under her care had already gotten ready for school, their eager faces awaiting her instructions.

Naira : Sabne breakfast kar liya..?

She inquired, her gentle voice carrying a sense of warmth and authority that the children respected. They nodded in unison, a chorus of affirmation.

Naira : Homework kiya?

she continued, her eyes sweeping over the group of youngsters before her. Again, nods of confirmation met her gaze.

Naira : Aur saari books acche se le li?

Naira asked, ensuring that her students were prepared for the day ahead. The children nodded once more, showcasing their diligence and respect for their devoted teacher.

With a satisfied smile, Naira instructed the children to wait outside for the school van.

As the kids excitedly shuffled out, a familiar figure approached her. It was the warden, a kind but overbearing presence in Naira's life.

Warden : Chal naashta kar le.

Naira : Nahi amma, abhi time nahi hai school ke liye late ho jayega.

Warden : Accha sunn maine na tere liye ek accha rishta dekha hai.

Naira : Kya amma phir se wahi baat, mujhe abhi shaadi nahi karni.

Warden : Arey par dikkat kya hai, ladka accha hai, doctor hai aur sabse badi baat unn logo ko tumhare anarth hone se koi problem nahi hai.

However, the warden's words cut deep, touching on a raw nerve within Naira's heart. She felt a pang of sorrow at the reminder of her past, of the loss she had endured and the hardships she had overcome.

Warden : Sorry beta..

Naira : Koyi baat nahi amma, yeh meri zindagi ka sach hai jo main badal nahi sakti, aur amma jiss pariwar ki aap baat kar rahi hai na ki unhe mere anarth hone se koi problem nahi hai, woh harr baat mein mujhe yeh dikhayenge ki unhone mujh jaisi anarth ko accept karke mujh par ehsaan kiya hai, mujhe yeh nahi chahiye amma, Main kisi aise ko chahti hu jo mujhe, mere dil se pyar kare, Apne ehsaan na jataye, jo meri respect kare, Iss orphanage ke liye jo main karna chahti hu uski kadar kare.

She left from there...!!!!
