Empire of the Rejected

Mumbai ki umas bhari shaam mein Aryan Rathod ki duniya tab tham jaati hai jab Riya Malhotra, jiske liye usne sab kuch chhoda, use 'loser' kehkar thukra deti hai. Uski aankhon mein pyaar ki jagah sirf nafrat hai, aur uske shabd Aryan ke dil mein chaku ki tarah utar jaate hain. Apmaan aur beizzati ki aag mein jalta Aryan, apni mutthiyan bheench leta hai. Lekin tabhi, baarish ki pehli boond ke saath, kaali SUVs ka ek kaafila use gher leta hai. Hathiyarband log use 'target' kehte hain, aur ek boodha aadmi, jiski aankhon mein ajeeb bechaini hai, Aryan ke saamne aakar poochta hai, "Kya ye ladka sach mein zinda hai?" Kya Riya ka thukrana Aryan ki kismat ka sirf ek mod tha, ya yeh kisi bade samrajya ke chhipe hue waaris ki pehchaan ka pehla sanket hai?
