Dying Wish
A dying man gives his son a diary, warning: "Read the last page after I’m gone." The revelation? He’s not his real father—his wife is the long-lost daughter of the couple he "saved." But the twist? He murdered her parents. Now, the police are at the door...

Rajan was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes were dark. The doctor had said, "Just a few days...".
He called his son Rahul and handed him an old diary and said, "This has details of all my property... but read the last page only when I am gone."
Rahul kept the diary safely. Three days later, Rajan passed away. After the funeral, Rahul opened the last page of the diary - it was written there:
"Son, I am not your real father. In 1995, I saved you from a lost family in an accident.
Your real parents' names are on the first page of the diary. Find them... maybe they are alive."
Rahul's head started spinning. He turned the first page—it was written there: "Vikram and Shanti Mehra, Mumbai."
He immediately reached Mumbai. Searched the old records. He found out—Vikram-Shanti had died in a car accident 20 years ago, but their 6-year-old daughter had survived, and no one knew about her.
Rahul was surprised—"I am a boy... then who is the daughter?"
Then he saw his own profile picture—his wife Neetu, whom he had met abroad 5 years ago.
She was wearing the same locket around her neck that Shanti Mehra had in the photo in the diary!
Neetu opened the door. Rahul asked with trembling hands—"Your childhood name... are you 'Priya Mehra'?"
Tears welled up in Neetu's eyes—"Yes... but how do you know this?"
Rahul extended the diary towards her. Neetu read it and screamed—"These are my parents! But you... you are not my brother, right?"
Rahul shook his head—"No... Rajan papa adopted us at different times. We have no blood relation."
Twist: The very next moment a message came on Neetu's phone—from her "real" father Vikram, who was alive and hiding under police protection!
It was not an accident, but a murder plot... and Rajan was her real killer!
• Neetu looked at Rahul—"Your father killed my family... and now you are my husband?"
• There was a knock on the door—the police had arrived...
Why is this twist shocking?
✔ Rajan being a "good man" was a lie—he was actually a criminal!
✔ Rahul and Neetu's marriage was an unwitting union of sin.
✔ The diary's mystery was a double deception—love on one side, murder on the other!
