In a different part of Hyderabad, nestled in a quiet neighbourhood a house buzzed with the morning routine. The aroma of fresh coffee wafted through the air as Arjun returned home after a brisk jog. He wiped the sweat from his brow feeling invigorated. Today was important.  he had a significant case hearing in court that could change everything.

Subhadra : Good morning, Arjun ! 

 Subhadra his wife greeted him cheerfully from the kitchen. She was busy preparing breakfast, her hands are skillfully flipping dosas on the pan.

Arjun : Morning, Subhadra ! Smells delicious !

Arjun replied by heading to the bathroom to freshen up.

As he got ready, he mentally reviewed the case details. Being a criminal lawyer was not an easy task but he thrived on the challenge. Today's hearing was particularly crucial and he felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

Once dressed in a crisp white shirt and black trousers, Arjun stepped into the living room. Subhadra was waiting for him with her eyes sparkling with warmth. She walked over and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug.

Subhadra : Good luck today.

she whispered with her voice full of support. 

Subhadra : I know you'll do great.

Arjun : Thanks Subhadra. I'll do my best.

 he replied by giving her a reassuring smile. 

Arjun : Have you seen Vrindha ? I hope she's not still asleep.

Subhadra sighed with a hint of concern creeping into her voice. 

Subhadra : She left early again this morning. You know how she gets when she's on a mission. She said something about visiting the VRO office.

Arjun's brow furrowed. 

Arjun : The VRO office ? What's she up to this time ? 

Subhadra : Who knows ? 

Subhadra shrugged but her tone reflected her worry. 

Subhadra : She's been acting a bit mysterious lately.

Meanwhile, Vrindha sat outside the VRO office dressed as a village woman. Her hair is tied back roughly and she wore a simple cotton saree that complemented her guise. She blended seamlessly into the surroundings by  embodying the role she had prepared for. This was not an ordinary visit. she was on a mission to expose corruption.

Vrindha's heart raced as she waited. The morning sun cast a golden hue over the small office building and she could hear the distant sounds of traffic and vendors calling out. She looked around scanning for any sign of the VRO. Her target for the day.
