MAIN STORY:

Ruby sat on a chair, reminiscing about her parents. She recalled the time when she was 5 years old, living in India with her father and mother. Back then, Ruby's name was Rubina Singh. She was an excellent student, and her hobbies included drawing and singing.

There was another palace adjacent to Ruby's, where a singer lived with her husband and children. Ruby would often visit them to learn music. The singer had a daughter around Ruby's age, and Ruby would visit her under the pretense of learning singing. Ruby really liked the girl.

But now, Ruby sees her in Ava. Ruby is very disturbed by this.

Ruby started thinking, "I wish Ava was the girl I liked." As she was lost in thought, her PA arrived and informed her that someone had come to meet her. Ruby asked who it was. The PA replied that she didn't know, but the person seemed smart. Ruby guessed that it must be Ava.

Ruby instructed her PA to send Ava in. The PA nodded and left, calling out to Ava that the boss wanted to see her. Ava entered Ruby's office, and Ruby struck a pose, sitting stylishly.

Ava informed Ruby that she had started her training and thought she should let Ruby know. Ruby smiled cutely and said, "People usually can't resist me after meeting me. You couldn't stay away from me for even a day, could you?" Ava replied, "Well, you're right. When someone sees something beautiful for the first time, they naturally want to see it again."

Ruby scolded Ava, "Behave yourself! I'm your boss." Ava retorted, "Then act like one, boss." Ruby asked if there was something else Ava wanted to discuss. Ava revealed that she had heard Ruby had been attacked twice in India, once without a bodyguard and once with one.

Ava proposed that if the attacker didn't know Ruby had hired a new bodyguard, they might strike again, and Ava could catch them. Ruby asked if Ava could handle it alone, and Ava confidently replied that she could. Ruby agreed, and Ava left.

As soon as Ava left the office, Suresh entered. He had come to talk to Ruby and asked her about the girl who had just left. Ruby corrected him, saying that the girl was actually a tomboy. Suresh expressed his surprise and asked Ruby if she knew what tomboys were. Ruby pretended not to know, and Suresh explained that tomboys were girls who behaved like boys and were often attracted to other girls.

Ruby defended the LGBTQ+ community, stating that there was nothing wrong with being homosexual. She also shared that India had a significant LGBTQ+ population and that they deserved respect and acceptance. Suresh countered that Indian society was not accepting of such individuals, but Ruby argued that they didn't need society's approval.

The conversation shifted to their upcoming trip to India. Suresh reminded Ruby that they had to go, and Ruby confirmed that she remembered. Suresh revealed that he had already booked Ava's ticket, but Ruby played dumb, saying she didn't have a bodyguard. Suresh offered to hire someone in India, but Ruby insisted that Ava was just her friend.

Suresh received a mysterious call and stepped out of the office. He shared the news with the caller that Ruby didn't have a bodyguard, but he suspected that she was lying and that the tomboy, Ava, was actually her bodyguard.

Meanwhile, Ruby called Ava and informed her about the trip to India. Ava agreed to come along and teased Ruby about her brother finding out about their relationship. Ruby blushed and reminded Ava that she was her boss. Ava flirted back, saying that she thought Ruby liked her too. Ruby smiled, feeling shy, and ended the call.

As Ruby held her phone to her chest, she couldn't help but smile, feeling a flutter in her heart.

Ava was packing her bags at home when an old photograph fell out of her belongings. The photo was covered in dust and was barely visible. Ava picked it up and, as she looked at it, tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom, where did you go? I'm incomplete without you," she said, her voice trembling.

Ava hid the photo in her bag, and then she was ready to leave for India with Ruby. She booked a cab for the next day and instructed the driver to take her to the airport. The driver, who lived in the same colony as Ava, agreed.

Ruby was also packing her bags, but she was anxious about their trip to India. She wondered what would happen there.

Just then, Ruby's grandfather called her. She answered the call and told him that she was returning to India the next day. After the call, Ruby took a shower.

As she showered, Ruby's thoughts drifted back to her parents. She remembered the accident that had taken their lives. In her mind's eye, she saw the car her parents were in collide with another vehicle and careen into a ditch. She saw the police arrive and take away the dead bodies. Ruby's grandfather had covered her eyes to protect her from the gruesome scene, but she had still seen everything. She had cried uncontrollably then.

Ruby's phone rang again, snapping her back to the present. Tears filled her eyes once more.

Suresh was sitting in his room when he received a call from an unknown number. He picked up the call and said, "This time, make sure Ruby travels in a separate car and takes the route where those thieves rob people's valuables. I'm sure the attacker will target Ruby on that route."

Suresh continued, "What was Grandpa thinking? He gave Ruby 50% of the property without thinking that she's a girl and will eventually get married and leave for her husband's house. Now, because of Grandpa's decision, Ruby will end up in a temple instead of her husband's house. His decision has forced me to take on this villainous role."

Suresh's tone turned menacing, "This time, Ruby shouldn't return to England alive. And does Ruby think that tomboy will save her? No way, I won't let that happen. First, I'll get rid of that tomboy. People like them are corrupting our society. But honestly, I don't care about the tomboy. All I want is Ruby's death."....

Ruby's eyes welled up with tears again. She held her phone to her chest and wondered if Ava was right for her.

Ava, on the other hand, was at her home, packing her bags and getting ready to leave for India with Ruby.

Suresh was sitting in his room, typing a message on his phone: "Send Ruby in a separate car and take her on the route she always takes. I know the attacker will target Ruby on that route."

Suresh put down his phone and thought about how to kill Ruby...
