10 pm in a deserted factory .
" Who are u . What do u want from me?"
Her frantic screams . She was tied to a chair. It was dark . She couldn't see anyone.
Jasmin was kidnapped on her way to her hotel after spending two hours with her client in a niteclub. She trapped rich men for money. Her very own fraud business with some partners in crime involved along.
She lived a lavish life using her very own beauty gifted by the Lord. Her charm that made men attracted to her easily. It was her only strength at the moment for a living as she didn't complete her graduation. Use the simple method and enjoy life. Her beauty was everything to her and she was proud to be considered gorgeous by people who met her.
Just then
A familiar voice and face appeared as the lights were switched on, leaving her extremely shocked.
Her client kidnapped her. The one she just spent time with three hours ago at a nite club.
" Why are u doing this , mr. Anand? She asked nervously, confused with his cruel act.
" I should be asking u that question. Why do u want to trap me?" He replied angrily.
She was puzzled. How did he find out.
"Confused?", He seemed to have read her mind
She was silent, waiting for his explanation.
" Well, a waiter caught u red handed in the act with ur partner . He saw the guy clicking our photos. Then he rang me after i left. Apparently it was my karma that i was blessed from ur trap. I helped that guy when his mother was ill in the hospital. So when he saw that i was in trouble, he came for my rescue".
She was annoyed but remained silent. He continued ,smiling
" U know miss jasmin it's our deeds that defines our sorrows and peace. U do something bad then u face it".
She was nervous and pleaded.
" Pls let me go. I won't tell anyone. I will inform my partner to destroy the evidence" .
He smiled
" Don't worry, i have handled that"
Then his phone rang and he walked away a while for a short conversation.
Minutes later
He didn't return. Seemed like he left as she heard the engine of a car . A tall lean guy walked in and untied her.
" U can go now"
She ran frantically as fast as she could without looking behind when suddenly two headlights came from nowhere . A speeding car .
Jasmin was hit. The impact was strong. She was thrown a few metres away towards the roadside. She laid unconscious.
Two days later
Sounds of machines nearby. Her eyelids were heavy. She struggled to look around . She was in the hospital .
A stinging pain on the left side of her face which was covered with a bandage. She was bruised all over . Her legs felt weak . She tried to move.
A nurse dressed in a pink uniform walked in asking politely trying to help her to sit on the bed.
" How u feeling now"
She was finding it difficult to speak. The stinging pain on the left of her face beneath the bandage.
" Pls take this pain killer. U will feel better".
As the nurse checked her blood pressure and bruises , she continued calmly.
" U are lucky . No fractures only bruises". She sighed a relief.
" Who brought me here" she enquired with a weak voice, still struggling to speak clearly.
" A young gentleman . The one who was behind the wheel. The driver of the car that hit u . He informed that he was on his way to pick up someone from the airport when u came running from nowhere middle of the night rite infront of his car". Jasmin was relieved . There was a kind soul who helped her.
" But there is one thing that u will have to deal with for the rest of ur life", the nurse pointed towards her face.
" Why is my face bandaged and it's really painful" , jasmin interrupted annoyed trying to touch her injury
" Do not remove it, the wound is deep, will take time to heal. It was caused by a piece of glass lying on the roadside , the exact spot where u fell after getting hit. U know accidents happen frequently .
The doctor has stitched it. Within days , it will be removed . But the scar from the wound would remain. I 'm so sorry. But luckily u survived from a tragic incident"
She was devastated.
The scar
Her beauty was tarnished.
The nurse continued taking a leave from the room
" Ur hospitalization bills are fully settled by the kind gentleman who brought u here "
Jasmin was discharged three days later. As she reached her room, she looked at herself facing the dressing table. Her reflection. It was awful . Part of her left face covered with the bandage.
The hidden scar beneath. She wanted to look at it. To see how much it destroyed her charm.
Her fingers shivered as she removed it very slowly. The wound was still fresh . She was horrified.
The scar
Just a centimeter below the left eye right down to her lips.
Her beauty was gone. She screamed. She wanted to kill the man who hit her despite his kindness.
She rang the hospital reception immediately to get the details of the individual who admitted her. The same person who drove the car that awful nite .
Seconds later,
Her phone fell on the marble floor as she panicked when she heard the name given to her by the administrator . She was extremely shocked. It was unbelievable.
Fateh singh virk
He was the one . How dare he.
She couldn't control her temper . Took a flower vase from the bedside and threw it on the floor furiously. She was determined for a revenge. A bloody revenge.
The man who fell for her beauty once upon a time was the one who destroyed it for life long.
