"Shifa, are you ready—" She stops, her gaze lifting in horror, and Ezra suddenly freezes, her voice caught in her throat.

Her heart races as she stands still, her words drowned out by the chaos in her mind.

The image before her is something she never wishes to see.

" Z a f a r ! "

Ezra's scream pierces the festive atmosphere.

Zafar's body hangs from the ceiling fan, the dim light casting shadows across his face.

Panic surges through her veins like wildfire. "Amir! Amir, hurry!" The urgency in her tone depicts the horror of the situation.

In a moment, the room fills with family and guests who came to celebrate the wedding.

Without wasting a second, the guests rush in, their excitement turning into dread. Panic spreads through the crowd.

Amir and Zafar’s brother-in-law Burak, pulls him down from the fan. His body collapses onto the floor, and Ezra gasps at the sight.

Blood trickles from his nose, and bruises cover his skin, but the most significant relief comes from the fact that he is still breathing.

HE  IS  STILL  ALIVE !

Amir yells, his voice cracking. “We have to get him to Eijaz’s hospital. Now!”
