Jabbar and his wife took Aminah to the hospital. She was on bed rest for a week. Therefore, his wife used to feed chicken soup while injury. Until at night, the hospital was dark. Jabbar's wife was sleeping beside her bed. Unfortunately, she woke up and saw that the bed was empty.

The alley full of neon lights with a feel of a film neo-noir. Most call girls were standing on the walls and some were mingling with boys. In between the squeezed walls, there was a silver door but on the outside, there were cars, lined into row in the car parking. The vintage cars from the 70s were the attraction to the bar.

While Kamal and his friend, Chandu were going to the bar, he saw a young woman looked like Aminah who wore a black skirt which was synchronized with dark tops. Her crimson lips attracted most of the boys from the bar plus her wavy hair mesmerized the teenagers in the bar. She was continuously doing a catwalk.

Kamal stopped her.

"Aminah?" exclaimed Kamal.

"Who is this Aminah?" said the young woman rudely.

Kamal quickly hid his nervousness as Chandu was quite scared.

"Sorry to bother you" apologized Kamal.

"It's okay, pink lips, how about a night with me, pretty little boys?" flirted the woman.

"Sorry, I have some work to do" nervously said Chandu.

Chandu walked out of the scene. Kamal's innocence was about to fade away.

"Boy, you are too young enough to spend a night" flirted the woman.

For further information, Aminah's sense of parental guidance was strong that one could learn the other. Even a devil like the woman can understand Aminah's parenting sense.

"Kamal" introduced Kamal himself.

"Antara" introduced the woman (Antara/Aminah).

Both shook hands. After all she entered the bar, she just saw a handsome-looking man gazing at her. But Antara ignored and walked past him. Despite her ignorance, he grabbed her hand.

"Hello Sugar baby, would you like to share a room with me?" forced the man.

"10 dollars, dear" said Antara politely.

The man offered her. But all of a sudden, Antara grabbed his hand in such a manner that his body shook. Both his eyes and mouth were widened up. Antara twisted his hand and threw him off from the bar table.

Most people were shocked to watch her behavior, as on the contrary to that, some people applauded despite drunk. She saw that some of his friends were coming up from the table. Antara laughed.

"You, you want to fight me?" she chuckled.

She hit one of the men's chest. His breathe was choked. He continued to stagger but fell down when the body became heavier than expected. The other two men looked scared. They ran.

Antara smirked and walked away. She hoped out of the bar with a catwalk. On the parking lot, Kamal and Chandu were cheering her up a lot.

"Atta Girl!" cheered both the boys.

On the contrary, Antara just ignored their presence and walked by. She went to a tea shop and lit a cigarette in such a manner that the shopkeeper widened his eyes and mouth.

Jabbar's wife followed her to the tea shop.

"Aminah, let's go" said Jabbar's wife.

"I am not Aminah!" angrily expressed Antara.

She grabbed Antara/Aminah's hand and was about to take her. But, she shoved hard that Jabbar's wife stepped into the ground. Aminah/Antara was slapping herself.

"You bitch, why you are here?" shouted Antara.

"No mother! I am here for sister-in-law" said Aminah softly.

"Look, bitch! You are interrupting your mommy to smoke" rudely said Antara.

"No mother!" screamed Aminah.

To the views of Jabbar's wife and the shopkeeper, Aminah was talking to herself as well as the physically harm. She got fainted. Jabbar's wife stepped off from the ground and grabbed her body.

"She should be in the asylum! She's mad!" criticized the shopkeeper.

That angered Jabbar's wife.

"You are not used to the differently abled people, isn't it? You uneducated old fool!" snapped Jabbar's wife.

The shopkeeper's mouth was closed but his eyes were widely open.

By the time, she restored her to the hospital.
