Zindagi. The hindi word for 'life' as in to live. But what if your zindagi lies with the person you love the most? What if your zindagi is stolen from you; not just your last breaths but your husband, the reason that you wear his name on your forehead as the sindoor, and next to your heart in the form of a mangalsutra? Is life really worth living? Does the word "zindagi" still apply?
Agam. Seeing my Agam in the hands of my elder sister 'the one that stole my identity- am I not merely a lifeless soul? Every day sleeping unsoundly in the royal palace, knowing that my husband is there with my enemy and what could I do? Nothing. Because I'm not his anymore. I was never his. I was just a pawn in their game of chess, whilst they were the King and Queen. Checkmate. I lost. Not only my love, my face, my name but also each and every bit of memories I spent with her. With him. I loved Agam but perhaps I loved my sister more. And all that I got was a kick in the stomach as I fell to the ground by the agonising pain from the car accident. She could have saved me. But she didn't.
She was scared. She was scared that this pawn would usurp the castle with her horses and take the King. He was mine from the start. Mine. Yet that was all forgotten.
You know what's the worst thing? The fact that everyone acts as if I've never existed. A stab in the back. Poor Nimrit. That's what they're thinking. In these last few months, I've realised one thing. Never let anyone become your zindagi. All that will happen is a close call near death.
She killed me, yes. But he killed me a thousand times for loving her.
But I won't let them win. I won't let them take that last bit of life I have away from me. She made me become some one else; she made me change my face. Fine. From now on, I become Natasha Oberoi. Amrit and Agam's worst nightmare. They stole my zindagi, I will steal theirs. I will make them realise that what they did to Nimrit was wrong and now Natasha will avenge Nimrit.
Checkmate.
