Scene 1: The First Encounter

In a dimly lit alley of Azamgarh, Zarar finds himself unexpectedly cornered by Sudipta, a fiery young woman with defiance etched into every line of her face. Before he can react, her boot connects with a swift, startling precision that sends a shockwave of pain through him. Zarar's stoic facade fractures for a split second as he doubles over, breath knocked out of him. Sudipta seizes the moment, darting past him with a victorious grin, leaving Zarar seething with a mixture of surprise and begrudging admiration.

Scene 2 : The Return Home

As the clock struck midnight, Zarar finally returned home, his mind still reeling from the chaotic events of the evening. Sudipta, his newly wedded wife, paced anxiously in the dimly lit living room, her worry deepening with each passing minute. When the door creaked open and Zarar staggered in, drenched in blood, her heart stopped. Ignoring his injuries, he lit a cigarette with a practiced nonchalance that failed to mask the pain etched into his features.

Their eyes met in a moment fraught with unspoken anguish. Sudipta's voice caught in her throat as tears welled in her eyes, betraying a torrent of emotions—fear, confusion, and a newfound depth of concern for the man she had pledged her life to. The sight of her shattered Zarar's resolve, his hardened exterior cracking under her gaze. In a moment of raw vulnerability, she screamed his name, her voice echoing through the empty halls, a plea and a prayer wrapped in one desperate cry.

Scene 3: The Sacrifice

Amidst a clandestine meeting turned deadly, gunfire echoes through the narrow streets. In a heartbeat, Sudipta throws herself in front of Zarar, a human shield against the deadly trajectory aimed at him. The impact reverberates through both of them as she crumples to the ground, clutching her stomach where blood stains her clothes. Horror seizes Zarar as he kneels beside her, his hands trembling with a fear he has never known. In that moment, as Sudipta's life hangs in the balance, Zarar's world shatters. Love, once dismissed as weakness, now emerges as a fierce protector in a world of ruthless adversaries and unforeseen sacrifice.
