Mihrunnissa is a lover of history, though she works as a psychiatrist by profession. Regardless, she loves exploring historical sites and reading historical books. She had recently read the biography of Emperor Hamza, a ruler still celebrated for his immense contributions to India's growth and expansion into the nation it is today. His biography remains a bestseller and is required reading across academic institutions at every level. While immersed in the book, she found herself wondering why a man like Hamza had never allowed his love life to be included in the historical record. One day, she was listening to her patient Mahnoor, who had booked a session to help process the trauma weighing on her. At first, Mahnoor was reluctant to speak, but after Mihrunnissa gently insisted that she needed the full story in order to help, Mahnoor finally opened up. "I time-traveled," she revealed. She then recounted everything; how she had read Hamza's biography, decided she could be of help, traveled back to his era, the challenges she faced there, and how she eventually returned. Now the experience was haunting her because she felt overwhelming guilt for failing to help Noor. Mihrunnissa offered the coping strategies and therapeutic techniques she believed would help Mahnoor heal. After closing her clinic for the day, she locked the doors in her office, raised her hand, and murmured, "Noor, I beg you to send me too. I promise I will help your soul and set you free." She also yearned for a first-hand experience of that era. Unlike Mahnoor, she was confident she could handle it. As a trained psychiatrist, she knew how to manage her emotions. She believed she could become the kind of woman whose name would be written into history. But will she manage to summon Noor?

" I do!!" She said in shaky tone. It was still unbelievable for her that her dad made her deal with a Mafia king just for some pennys. She could see the smirk of her ownership in his eyes and a golden cage in which she will have to spend her rest of life. _______________ "Let's see how will you wear all these shameless clothes in my house!!" He said throwing glowing match stick on a pile of clothes in front of him. She was looking at him with wide eyes. "Hey..Stop!!!" She tried to stop him but he yanked her away making her fall on ground. "Remember that I am not your fucking Hassan who will bear all your these shitty tantrums!! This is my house and here follows the rules I, Ibtihaj Ibrahim Usmani makes!!!" He said clenching her jaw. ______________ She was an innocent soul. He kills mercilessly. She was an independent bird.

কবিরের কথাগুলো রাইসা কিছুই না শুনতে পেলো আর না বুঝতে পেলো। রাইসার সম্পূর্ণ মনোযোগ তখন কবিরের বৃষ্টিস্নাত মুখশ্রীতে। ছোট ছোট চুলগুলো বেয়ে টুপ করে ফোটা ফোটা পানি পরছে কপালে। রাইসার মনে হলো এই মুখটা তার ভীষণ আপন। এই মুখে তাকিয়ে জীবন পার করে দেওয়া যাবে। বৃষ্টির জলে ভেজা কবিরের হালকা গোলাপি ঠোঁট দেখে রাইসার নেশা লাগছে। সদ্য ফোটা গোলাপ ফুলের ভেজা পাপড়ী। হাতের আঙ্গুল শির শির করছে একটুখানি ছুঁয়ে দেওয়ার আশায়। রাইসা অবচেতন মনে তার ডান হাতটি তুলে কবিরের গালে রেখেছে। ভেজা ঠোঁট দু'টোর খুব কাছে। কী আশ্চর্য্য! কবিরকে প্রথমবার ছোঁয়ার পরেও কোনো আড়ষ্টতা জাগছে না। জনম জনমের পরিচিত মনে হচ্ছে। রাইসার ডান হাতের বৃদ্ধাআঙ্গুলি কবিরের গাল বেয়ে ঠোঁট ছুঁতেই তার বাম হাতের বাহু ধরে ঝাঁকি দিলো কবির। হুঁশ ফিরে পেতেই রাইসা দু'পা পিছিয়ে কবিরের থেকে একটু দূরে দাঁড়ালো।

সৌধের বুকের বা পাশের নেমপ্লেটে ডান হাত ছুঁয়ে দিলো৷ বিড়বিড় করে উচ্চারণ করলো, "ইয়াজদান আরেফিন"। তৎক্ষণাৎ সোজা হয়ে সৌধের দিকে তাকিয়ে বললো, - আপনার নাম তো অনেক বড় ডাক্তার সাহেব। এতো বড় নামে ডাকতে পারবো না। সৌধ তখনও নিঃশ্বাস আটকে স্থির হয়ে বসে আছে। মোহগ্রস্তের মতো বললো, - ইয়াজদান আরেফিন সৌধ।
