Chapter 1: chapter 1

PrologueRakshita, staring at her reflection in the mirror, trying to understand her fate. She had never imagined a day like this would pop-up in her life and turn it upside down like a roller coaster. All her dreams of running her own restaurant, travelling to her favourite destinations and most of all marrying the man who has her heart, everything shattered the moment, she found Rathish holding another woman just the same way he used to held Rakshita. She has been with him for more than ten years now and she had never felt so insecured like that moment. Rathish was everything to her, best buddy, well wisher, guide, partner and most of all her soulmate, that's how she felt about him. But, unlike her, he is nothing the way she assumed him to be. He was a hard core play boy right from the start, Rakshita was nothing but just a security for his future. She was a go easy girl, who blindly believed in everything he said and did. So after a few years of friendship when he proposed, she was mesmerized by his manly charm and fell for it eventually. But even then he continued to persue with his playboy tactics. Now, the truth being revealed, she just splashed the water on his face and walked away never turning back. All his excuses ended up in vain, when Rakshita finally connected all dots of his behaviour revealing his true nature. Yet, the disaster is that, now she totally hated her own self more than she hated Rathish. She felt ashamed about herself falling for a shitty guy like him and most of all for believing his fake love as a true one. All her definition for true love, seemed to be nothing but just a bubble of her imagination now.It's been a year now and Rakshita has become just a shell.

All she had in mind was not to disappoint them just because she had her own heart shattered. That's how kind and lovable she was.That's why she is in front of the mirror wondering what her destiny has in store for her.
