Chapter 1
The year was 1984!!
As the golden yellow sunlight hit the pale sky bringing in it light. The birds chirped to greet a cheerful morning. But all was not cheerful there she stood a mile away from the corpse of her uncle her body cold and numb fear erupting from her face. A lonesome tear trickled down as the girl kneeled next to the cold corpse. She covered her eyes with her tiny palms and wept with pain.
"I will not leave his murders alive, I will not let them get away" The girl made a promise to herself. "Uncle you are all that I had in this world and now that you are gone I am lost. I will not let them get away with this." Her expressions changed from sadness to shear anger. Khushi Kumari Gupta was a girl who lost everything who lost her uncle, her best friend her life and it was all thanks to these goons who walked in and just shot her uncle dead. The memory was fresh in her mind.
She kissed her uncle for one last time on his fore head and got up from the floor when she happened to stumble upon a small plastic card with the initials "ASR" written over it, she turned it around. In really tiny letters there was a small address on the back, Hotel Sun villa South Mumbai. This was her first piece of evidence.
But who was ASR where was he why was he after her uncle, lots of questions on her mind she had to get to the bottom of this. All she knew was that she would find him and shoot him herself. Even if it meant that she had to go to jail or even die but she would not leave the earth without her questions being answered with her revenge being complete she had made up her mind and there was nothing that could stop her.
Picking up the phone she dialed 911 to inform the police everything. Inspector Somnath and his team reached the small building in a crowed Panjim Goa where the incident took place. People from the neighboring buildings had just got a whiff of what had taken place last night.
"Madam tell us what exactly happened last night." Said with inspector so that he could file the FIR,
"My uncle and I had just returned home from a movie at the theater, all was fine my uncle was talking to me about this boy who he wanted me to meet for my marriage and I was telling him that I would never leave him and go we entered home laughing. Everything was perfectly normal sir and we went to sleep.
At around 3 am I could hear some sounds outside my room and I went out to the hall to see what was happening when I saw uncle talking to some men, I wondered what it was and who they were what were they doing at that ungodly hour at our house. They didn't look like good men at all, they looked like gangsters.
One of them held uncle by the collar and told him that he has caused a very bad problem for the organization and must pay the price, Uncle Tom said he will bring the truth forward he knows all the secrets and there is nothing that they can do to stop him., I got scared sir and walked towards him when from the corner of his eye he told me to go and hide.
I nodded and went back to my room but peeped from the door and the next thing I knew was that uncle was on the floor and my whole world came crumbling, the goons walked out and I shut the door behind and cried trying not to make the noise a while later I came out of my room there was no one and that's when I saw uncle Tom lying dead on the ground" Khushi wept as she narrated the whole incident to the police.
"You mentioned about some kind of organization, what organization was it do you have an idea." Asked the inspector. "As far as I recall they didn't mention a name or anything, although one of the goons did mention at some point that ASR doesn't spare any one " said Khushi trying to remember.
As the inspector heard the name "ASR" he knew what was happening and his next statement shocked the daylights out of her "Madam your uncle was messed up with the underworld, ASR is a wanted mafia, He operates in Mumbai and Goa, Your uncle should have been careful he has messed with the wrong people, he should have known better there is nothing that I can do for you"
"The least you could do is file an FIR, sir I mean it's a murder and a crime, how can you take it lightly." Said Khushi as she looked at the inspector with shock.
"Okay even if I file an FIR who should I write it against you tell me, ASR is a mafia, but no one knows who he is, or what he looks like? No one knows his true identity mam." The inspector told Khushi
"I don't understand what do you mean no one knows him, you just said he is a mafia how can he not have an identity" A muddled up khushi had no idea what was happening.
"Look mam I cant do anything for you, if you want I can file an FRI against the goons, but that's all. If you expect us to catch ASR then forget it its not happening because we can catch some one who is a myth we don't even know that he is real or not." The inspector said firmly.
Khushi tried to reason with him but unable to get anything the inspector left and had the body moved to the morgue. Leaving Khushi alone in her house. As the chaos cleared she went in to take a hot shower, The world outside had settled but the chaos within her hadn't. Questions arose in her mind as the hot water pelted on her back
Who was ASR?
What did the inspector mean that he was a myth?
How could someone be so big and not be there?
What was the reason that he was after uncle Tom?
The questions bothered her to know end they drove her crazy insane. After her bath she went down to the local newspaper shops where she bought a bunch of old newspapers to read up information on who this mysterious ASR was
"The Story of ASR".
ASR, that's what he is known as, who he is or what he looks like no one really knows, but that does not mean that he hasn't left a mark on the world. He is well known for being involved and executing a series of crimes. From drug trafficking, murder, black money, known to be the master of the sea he smuggles his drugs to other countries, known to be a criminal with a powerful mind and a notorious nature. Rumor has it that he started from a small street near metro theater selling movie tickets in black, in the year 1979. From there on he was involved in all kinds of trouble but made sure never to get caught to seal his identity from the world. He is a trained perfectionist in stealing, in the year 1982 he stole a number of artifacts from Indian museums one including a red ruby that was gifted to Mumbai by a British governor after independence. He is known for brutal killings. People say he is a monster and deserves to be jailed others say he is a legend and are fascinated by the fact that he has managed to conceal his identity from the world.
But some questions still remained unanswered and that is What drove him to become like this? How does he manage to hide his identity? And what is going to be his next move?

The second Khushi finished reading her article she banged her fist to the table and walked towards the window with anger wash over her face. She took a deep breath and she said "who are you ASR or rather what are you" Her thought moved on to what uncle Tom mentioned about some secrete, she wondered. Moving towards her uncle's room she began hunting to find some kind of evidence some kind of clue. Looking through old files and papers. Khushi scratched her head, uncle Tom owned a sweet store in the market down he has been a sweet shop owner his whole life what could he possibly know about this ASR, that made his goons come all the way and kill him there must be some kind of connection. Going through all the files and some papers. She saw a big black bag at the end of the lot, opening it she saw some old drawings of coins and old letters rolled up, the ink faded hard to understand what was written. She found a torn piece of paper with some kind of codes L1R3C. what the hell was this khushi thought what does this mean. What did her uncle get into she wondered this made no sense. she was in deep thought when she heard the phone ring.
"Hello... yes I am on my way... I know women are not aloud to burn, but he was my uncle and I will be the one to set his sole free... I am on my way"
She made her hair and straightened her face leaving for the Agyara. As she reached she set her uncle free and made a promise to him "I will find out who he is I will take revenge this is my promise" she said in a determined voice.
