New identity

In the hospital ward, Advaita (Kajal) opens her eyes. She got to know about Advaita's story. She saw everything with her own eyes as a flashback.
She said to herself, "It was wrong. A lot went wrong with Advaita and with me too. We don't deserve this, but what am I doing in Advaita's body? What happened to my own body? Is Advaita dead? Will Advaita's soul be in my body? I can't believe it's all true. I am living in another person's body."
She shook her head and said to herself, "No. That can't happen. I remember being dead, and there was no chance of me being alive. There is a chance of my body being burned. Maybe it has been buried, and about Advaita, that poor girl must have lost her life due to a drug overdose."
Suddenly, the door of the room opened, and the doctor came in.
He asked, "How are you feeling now, Miss Advaita? Did you rest properly?"
Kajal (Advaita) replied, "I am fine, doctor, but I want to be alone for some time."
The doctor said, "First I should perform some tests, and then I will leave you alone."
Kajal agreed with the doctor by saying OK and cooperating well with him. After some time, the doctor and nurse left, and Kajal was left alone.
She said to herself, "I want revenge. Advaita was a good friend of mine. Even though we were online friends, Advaita was there for me when I needed a good and understanding friend. She also listened to all my problems and gave me their solutions. She has lost her life because of some bad people. I know what happened to her, and now I will give justice to Advaita. From today onwards, I am the Advaita and will do justice to the real Advaita, but before that, the most important thing is to know everything about Advaita so that no one doubts me. But how am I going to do that? Who will tell me everything about Advaita?"
Kajal closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Just when she closed her eyes, like before, she saw some events in Advaita's life.
Advaita's father, Mr. Anirudh Suryavanshi, was a well-known businessman, and her mother, Anshika Suryavanshi, was just as successful. Advaita also had an older brother named Advit Suryavanshi, who was about ten years older than her. Being the youngest member of the family, Advaita was loved by everyone.
Everything seemed perfect for this family until Advaita was about eight years old. Her parents had to travel to another city for business, leaving Advit and Advaita behind in their hometown. However, one fateful day, something happened that completely changed their lives.
While Anshika and Anirudh were returning to their city, they were attacked. With their guards not around, they had to fend for themselves. It was a tough fight, but luckily, Anirudh's best friend, Bhavishya Sharma, came to their rescue. He managed to save Anirudh and Anshika, but sadly, Anirudh passed away due to excessive bleeding because he took a bullet instead of Anshika.
This incident led Anshika to take on the responsibility of fulfilling a promise made long ago. She arranged for Advaita to be engaged to Naksh. However, Naksh turned out to be quite different from his father, Future. He was selfish and only cared about himself, neglecting everyone else.
Kajal opened her eyes and said, "Naksh did not try to harm Advaita, but he indirectly supported those who were harming Advaita. Was his secretary more important than Advaita? Why did Shivansh help Advaita? Even though Shivansh and Advaita did not like each other at all, both of them trusted each other so much. Does Shivansh have some bad intentions, or is he innocent?"
Taking a deep breath, Kajal said, "Everything will be fine, I'll get to know everything but first I have to meet Shivansh. He had asked his secretary to investigate something, so let's see what has been found. But first of all, I have to behave like Advaita."
Kajal said in a convinced tone, "This is your new identity. From today onwards, you are Advaita, and Kajal was your friend for whom you need justice."
Thinking all this, Advaita played the ring on the side of the bed, hearing the sound of a nurse came in.
"Do you need anything, Miss Advaita?" she asked.
Advaita replied, "I want to meet my family."
The nurse nodded and left. Advaita was preparing herself mentally. After some time, two people entered the room. The first was Advit, and the second was Shivansh, but Anshika was not with them.
Advit and Shivansh asked together, "How are you feeling?"
Advaita replied, "Much better than before."
Then she looked at Shivansh and said, "Thank you for helping me."
Shivansh softly said, "It's OK. Advit has given me the responsibility of his baby sister, so how would I disappoint him? Plus, if you remembered me in such a critical situation and trusted me, then how can I not help you?"
Advit said, "Still Shivansh. In reality, the person who should have protected Advaita left her on her own. Naksh left my sister after his secretary suffered a minor injury, while you were the one who left the important meeting midway and went to help my sister. Thank you so much. If you weren't there, I don't know what would have happened. I won't leave that, Naksh. I'm gonna kill him."
Just then, Anshika's voice came from behind: "No, you won't do anything to Naksh. Stay away from him. Today I'll call Bhavishya and cancel Advaita's engagement with Naksh."
