Hamza: Facing the Inevitable

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?
