Last part m sure UV must be thinking about his mom, and how she must have felt about her son being a murderer had she been alive, and UV must have been thinking the exact same thing...You are grt in writing Psycho-thrillers Andy...earlier i thought u are good in only thrillers but now i can say psychological stories are definitely ur forte👍🏼... i never wanted to add the dream, but i felt uday would change only if his family would feel so😳 ao i added the dream, am it came out preety welll

Keep it up...well done n update soon...this is becoming very interesting...👏👏 thanks so much gargi, will try to update tmrw😳

Chapter 28

This chapter is entirely uday's point of view.

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

As I walked out of the Mumbai airport, I felt like returning back to my own home. it was one year since I left India. My driver was waiting outside the airport to take me to le sheran, my latest hotel.

The car drove away and I rested my head on the seat, Mumbai had changed a lot in one year, so did I.

How can I explain it? One year ago the dream of my mother had gave a new meaning for my life. I had lost my family and I got revenge, but still I continued to kill people for the sheer pleasure. To enjoy risks, to calculate and find a foolproof solution, in the midst of one such thrilling assignment, a new feeling- love caught me in its chains, that feeling was so strong, so great it changed the very core of my existence, but then love had its own setbacks.

But today if you ask me if I still love her, I would say YES, maybe a hundred times, a thousand times, a million times…. Leaving India was my decision. My mother told me she was totally upset by the way I had turned into, a killer hidden in the mask of a successful business man. Was it a dream? Or did the spirits really descend from heaven to guide me, did my mother feel I needed guidance and she helped it for me, maybe it could be so. Or was it the product of my own mental frustration caused by the events that rocked that fateful day when manyta walked into my office?

I don't know, nor do I bother to find it out, but that morning I woke up with a resolve deeply etched in my mind, I needed help. Without thinking anything else, I left for London, leaving mr. sinha to look after my business empire in India.

Back in London I went to a rehabitation centre- wait I know what you are thinking, why should a man like mr shark aka me go for help? What happened to my bravery, my courage, my resolve? A man like Mr. Shark going to a psychiatrist for help? Ridiculous isn't it? It's not ridiculous or stupidity. If you all forgot something let me remind you I am a human. I was a son, a brother, a friend, a student. I was someone. But now what was i? a killer under the alibi mr shark? A ruthless man who killed for the sheer thrill?

Many would think mr shark cant fall in love, he shouldn't be so foolish to believe his lover, sending flowers and candies to get back his lost love seemed so un mr sharkish? Let me ask you one question? Do you really know who mr shark was? Who I was? Are you claiming YOU KNOW ME BETTER THAN I KNOW MYSELF? You only saw my brutal side didn't you? Yet you pass judgement. I wont say anything about it.

I think I went off topic, yet it was nice to share all those thoughts. Anywhere I knew I had gone astray, and I led a sinner's life and I am a man to admit that I wronged.

It takes a man to admit he was wrong and that's what I too did. I wanted to leave this life, reform myself and then come back for my love, my life, my manyta. I left for London to give us both time to recover from the past and then start fresh, I was sure manyta would wait for me, even though she was not vocal about it

The time I spend at the rehabitation centre was really great, the doctors helped me a lot with my temper. The sessions were great and I found I could talk my heart out. I don't want to go into the details, but I can say I am not as evil as I was, I cant be a saint in a year, neither am I lucipher, I am now an ordinary man, who has a business to run and a girl who refuses to accept my love to win. But just don't think I have gone soft, because I haven't.

All my thoughts were broken as the car stopped in the hotel. There was a buzzle of activity in front of the hotel, maybe any marriage reception would be taking place in the evening. I didn't bother. The manager of the hotel handed me the keys of the rooftop penthouse, my favorite spot in this hotel.

I walked towards the lift when a familiar voice called me

"uday"

I looked back, it was adhiraj chauhan, he was a royal and the yuvaraj of raigarh, owner of many business, we did some business together a while back. it was good to see him

"adhi, man!! You look smart, you lost weight"

"ya I should be so, after all ita my engagement na, today"

"wow congrats, so your finally settling down, so what are you doing here?"

"uday I holding my engagement over here, I just love this hotel you know"

"that explains all that decoration in the hallway and the first 2 floors

"ya, your workers knows how to make party shine, they are so good"

"thanks adhi"

"and do come for my engagement party at 6"

"eh, adhi, I just got back from London about an hour back, and…"

"no escuses, please, you will omen a"

" um, ok, I will"

"thanks buddy"

I felt happy meeting him, I then went to my penthouse and settled for a refreshing shower, after that I could catch some sleep

Maybe tomorrow I could go and meet manyta and tell her how sorry I was

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

I walked towards the party area of my hotel. It was shaped like a palace. There was a stairway in the middle that added to the elegance of the room, flowers adorned the wall and fairy lights made the place look like a fairy land. I had personally helped in the designing of this hall, and today I was proud about it. I went and sat at one end of the bar at the corner, the guests were just arriving now, I wasn't really interested in all these but I couldn't upset a good friend, can I?

15 minutes later the hall was full.

I saw adhi dressed in a smart shervani, he saw me and came towards me

"hi uday"

"hi adhi, why that look on your face"

"iam getting tensed "

"why, man!!"

I just couldn't help myself from asking

" she's a beauty, don't know if I would look next to her"

"oh, chill man, you're a handsome dude, why worry"

"I need to go now, my fience would be descending the stairs in a few minutes"

I watched as he walked away to the centre of the raised dias. The lights dimmed and a stoplight appeared at the top of the stairs, his fianc was decending down, I just looked to see that beauty he was describing. There wasn't anyone as beautiful as my manyta.

I stared at the descending beauty openmouthed, she was indeed a beauty, an angel descending from heaven, her milky white skin, her rosy lips, that dove like eyes. I felt extremely overwhelmed seeing her here- my love, dressed in a red and white choli walking down the stairs with the elegance of a yuvarani.

That momentary feeling of happiness was replaced by anger, extreme anger. I could feel my blood boiling, the old fury that I had buried deep during the last one year coming out. My hands started trembling, my eyes were red with fury

It took most of my self control to try not to burst violently in front of all that people. Manyta was getting engaged to adhiraj chauhan. How ironic! I was invited for the engagement of a girl whom I loved and for whom I gave up my old ways. WHY? WHY? WHY WAS LIFE UNFAIR?

I saw her smiling as she walked towards the dias, her eyes looked happy.

There was a brief announcement which I didn't hear, my eyes were only at her. She was always that beautiful, they exchanged rings. The media people clicked pictures like crazy.

It was not correct. She was mine, only mine. And I would fight tooth and nail to make her mine, engaged or not engaged, I didn't care. What I want I will get, whatever nook or crook.

I left the place not waiting to see her dancing with adhi, I don't think I would have the strength to see adhi's hands roaming on her waist or even to see her close to him. she was mine and will remain so

I need to meet her soon, how could she do this to me???

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

That's all guys. Hope you all liked it😛

I had to give mr shark's pov as I got many people asking why mr shark is so? Why did he fall in love? And many other questions

I would like to remind you mr shark was not a born criminal, circumstances made him so, it is his free will that he decided to change. But he hasn't gone soft. He needs it in the time ahead😃

Please like the update and comment

I would like to continue the story , but only if you too feel so
