1 Betrayal.

Darkness!

It was the only thing I could see and silence was all I could hear. But the pain of burning of skin....and that too when I was alive, I still could feel it.

As far as I could remember, I was kidnapped and burnt alive! But my mind still can remember that voice before he threw that lighter on my body soaked with petroleum.

He told me that someone near to me betrayed me. It was the last thing that I heard before burnt alive.

His laugh started echoing in my mind, the pain of skin burning got more and this time I couldn't take it anymore.

I quickly opened my eyes..." A white ceiling?" My breaths were unstable and the first thought that came to my mind was, " Heaven! Am I in heaven? But how? Shouldn't I be in hell?! Infront of Devil himself?"

All these thoughts were coming into my mind when I heard some noises from outside.

And soon I saw from the corner of my eye that someone was opening the door. Realising someone coming in made me close my eyes in reflex and acted all normal.

I sensed someone was coming near me. I got alert and focused more on the voices I heard. Soon I heard a man's voice, " When she will wake up?"

A female voice replied to the man's question, " Sir, because of medicine she will be asleep for a few more hours."

That man groaned in irritation and asked the female to leave which I guess was a nurse or a doctor.

I again heard his voice saying, " This woman! If you weren't the daughter of the Mittal family then I already would have thrown you out of my life!"

With this, I again heard footsteps and then the door closing. As I sensed that he really was gone, I slowly opened my eyes and looked around curiously.

Listening to that man's words, I was confused.

What did he mean by Mittal's daughter?

Who was he?

And the most important question...WHERE THE HELL AM I ?!!

And to get the answers to all these questions was to look around. I finally realised that I wasn't in Heaven or Hell but I was in a room. Or we can say in a hospital ward?!

But it wasn't any general ward but a very luxurious one. The bed on which I was also very comfortable. There was a TV, a small fridge, sofa, a small wardrobe and also an AC!!

It didn't feel like a hospital ward but a hotel room. A thought suddenly strikes to my mind and I looked at my body and touched my face.

And as I saw my hands I couldn't help but get shocked seeing my hands. My hands were not normal... Its skin tone was a little darker than my normal skin tone.

I pulled up my sleeves and realised that not only my hands but my whole arms were of different skin tones.

I pulled myself out from the blanket and quickly stood up and looked at my feet and my feet's skin tone was also a little darker than my hands and arms.

The urge of looking at the mirror was creeping me out still I walked around trying to find a mirror or something and as I opened the door at the corner, I realised that it was a small bathroom with a sink, toilet, shower area and a MIRROR!

I quickly walked towards the mirror and as my eyes met with the reflection I couldn't believe what was I seeing?!

It was not me but someone else!! The female I was seeing in the mirror reflection was a dark-skinned, thin woman around 24 to 25 years old.

The thought that it was just an illusion came into my mind, I rubbed my eyes and again looked at the mirror but it was the same woman I could see.

This time I splashed some water on my face and again looked at the mirror but the result was again the same!! I felt like my brain was about to explode. I almost started pulling my hair feeling like a mad person when suddenly I heard a voice.

I quickly looked around but there was none other than me, I again heard that sound and I again started feeling like a crazy woman and murmured under my breath, " Am I becoming crazy or what?!"

When I again heard someone saying, " You are not becoming crazy. Your body is just exchanged."

"WHAT?! BODY EXCHANGED?! HOW?! What the f*ck is going on?!!" I almost screamed pulling my hair.

The voice replied, " You were burnt alive and were about to sleep in the lap of death but you have been given a chance by making your soul enter into another body whose soul is already been out from the body."

After listening to the voice, I slowly started putting pieces and realised something. I looked around and asked, " Means... That my body is been turned into ashes and I was..I was about to be a dead person but somehow my soul entered.... another body who is already dead!?"

It almost came out as a question from my mouth and heard the voice saying, " You can say it like that but it's not by chance but the God himself has given you a chance. So, use your new life more appropriately and don't do anything stupid like your last life.

Its last sentence made me a bit angry and hurt my ego. I looked up and said in an angry tone, " What do you mean by stupid?! Hey!! I was a gang leader. Everybody in the city feared my name.

Many people worked under me.. not only that but because of my intelligence and wittiness, I earned a fortune from which I can live my life with luxury and without any problem!!! Now you know how influential and powerful I am?!!"

But as I stopped his answer struck me like a thunderbolt and my mind went numb for a moment. He said in a taunting way, " Really?! Then after being so intelligent and witty how did you get betrayed by your near ones?"

His question made me shut my mouth for a second and anger again took over me. That man who killed me also said the same thing that means...Someone who was near to me betrayed me and helped that man in kidnapping me.

I have to find out who that person was. And that person too who betrayed me. Thinking of the person who betrayed me made my hands turn into fists and my jaws automatically clenched in pure fury.

I looked above and asked sternly, " Then tell me, in whose body am I? Her name, her family, her work, her everything."
