The movie is based on reunion, betrayal, deceit, and ultimate revenge. You’ll get to witness Gigi give up her eyes for Archer. Despite that act of love she showed him, he vanished from her life.
Let’s take a sneak peek at the movie.
In You Are My Destiny, Archer’s friends bullied him and Gigi witnessed it all. He was bullied for being blind.
Gigi couldn’t tolerate the bullying, so she stepped in and made his bullies go away. She saved Archer from his tormenters. Her kind act made him see her as his savior.
From that day, Gigi became Archer’s best friend. She became his eyes and was never seen away from him. They grew close and fell in love with each other.
Life was simple and kind to them until Archer got hit by a car. He was in a fatal condition and required urgent surgery.
Gigi couldn’t afford his surgery. However, she knew Archer’s grandpa, Allan, who hated Archer, could afford it.
She contacted Allan and begged him to save Archer. Allan promised to help Archer if Archer was useful to him. By useful, he means if Archer could see.
Gigi was flustered. Allan was willing to let his grandson die if he couldn’t see. So, Gigi offered to give Archer her corneas. That was the only thing that would make Allan help Archer.
Allan agreed to Gigi’s offer. And the surgery to take her cornea and offer complete treatment to Archer was carried out. Archer got to see again and Gigi, well, she became blind.
When Gigi woke up from the surgery and called out Archer’s name, she met an empty room. He was gone. He’s about to be married to another woman while leaving Gigi blind and pregnant for him.
Did Gigi make a big mistake loving and trusting a man?
