Success has a way of rewriting expectations.
Two days ago—
₹3,000 felt significant.
Now—
₹18,000 felt like progression.
That shift—
Was subtle.
But dangerous.
The system flagged another opportunity.
TREND ALERT: BLUETOOTH SPEAKERSGROWTH PROBABILITY: 74%
Lower than before.
But still viable.
"How much?" Aarav asked.
RECOMMENDED: HIGH INVESTMENT
He didn't hesitate.
That was the mistake.
He invested heavily.
More than before.
But something felt off.
Not obvious.
Just… slightly misaligned.
The next day—
No movement.
The second—
Prices dipped.
The third—
They dropped sharply.
A large supplier flooded the market.
Aarav watched it unfold.
Not from outside—
But from within.
Customers walked past.
Ignored him.
"Online sasta mil raha hai."
Each word—
A small impact.
He lowered prices.
Then again.
Still—
Stock remained.
Eventually—
He sold at a loss.
₹3,200 gone.
The number wasn't devastating.
But the implication—
Was.
