Sasmita – A simple, traditional (behenji-type) college lecturer. Soft-spoken, intelligent, innocent. Living under constant torture from her stepmother.
Srikant – Rich, powerful, extremely handsome. On social media he appears as a successful businessman… but in reality, he is the hidden King of the Mafia world.
Episode 1 – The Facebook Beginning
The world had suddenly gone silent. Streets were empty, markets were closed, and fear lived in every home because of Covid. But inside her small room, Sasmita was fighting a different kind of loneliness.
Sasmita was a college lecturer. Intelligent, calm, and traditional. During the day, she appeared confident while taking online classes. Her students admired her. But once the laptop closed, reality returned.
Her stepmother's voice echoed through the house every evening.
"You think earning a small salary makes you something big?"
"Stop acting educated in front of me."
Those words hurt more than the silence outside.
That night, after finishing her classes, Sasmita lay on her bed and opened Facebook just to distract her mind.
A notification appeared.
Srikant Rao sent you a friend request.
She paused.
His profile picture showed a tall, sharp-looking man in a black suit, standing beside a luxury car. His eyes looked intense… confident… almost dangerous. His bio read:
Businessman | Investor | Silence is Power
Sasmita frowned slightly.
"Why would someone like him send me a request?"
She checked mutual friends. A few common contacts from the city. Nothing suspicious.
For a moment, she thought of ignoring it. She was not the type to accept strangers. She lived a simple life. No makeup selfies. No bold posts. Just books, quotes, and lecture updates.
But something about his profile felt different.
After a long breath… she pressed Accept.
Five minutes later, her phone vibrated.
Srikant: "Good evening, ma'am. I hope I'm not disturbing you."
She blinked.
Sasmita: "No… it's okay."
Srikant: "You're a lecturer, right? English?"
She was surprised.
Sasmita: "Yes. How did you know?"
Srikant: "The way you write your posts… it shows depth. Not many people have that."
For the first time in a long time, Sasmita smiled genuinely.
Days passed.
Their chats became regular.
Morning greetings.
Random jokes.
Late-night conversations about dreams, struggles, and life after lockdown.
Srikant always spoke respectfully. He never crossed limits. He listened carefully when she talked about her students. He encouraged her when she felt low.
Slowly, she began waiting for his messages.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious office far away, Srikant sat in a dimly lit room. Several men stood around him respectfully. Phones rang. Deals were discussed in low, serious tones.
But when his phone screen lit up with Sasmita's name… his expression softened.
Two completely different worlds were slowly connecting.
One lived in innocence.
The other ruled in darkness.
And neither of them knew…
This simple Facebook friendship was about to change everything.
