Hey guys...I will warn you that this chapter will be incredibly depressing and sorrowful. Please do not read if any of those things disturb you; if you are bold, however, by all means read on.

Aisha spends months perfecting her skills and getting ready for the challenges that lie ahead as she fully commits to her training at the Delhi law university. The day finally comes when she has the opportunity to apply her skills in an important court case that will decide the destiny of the victims and the guilty parties.

Tension mounts in the courtroom as Aisha faces the judge, her resolve firm despite her heart thumping with anxiety. The lives of innocent victims are in jeopardy in this case because of an intricate web of lies, corruption, and betrayal.

Judge(solemnly): The People vs. Vikram Singh and his Associates case is currently being conducted in this court. You may now begin your opening comments, Ms. Aisha.

Aisha stands up and addresses the court, her voice firm and focused.

Aisha(confidently): We are here today, Your Honor, esteemed jury members, to demand justice for the victims of a horrible crime that the defendants committed. It is our responsibility to make sure the guilty are held accountable for their deeds and that the innocent receive the justice they are promised.

Aisha presents the evidence carefully throughout the trial, cross-examining witnesses with care and deconstructing the defense's arguments with skill. She gains the respect and admiration of both the court and her peers for her competence and dedication as she navigates the case's complexity.

Witness(testifying): Your Honor, I witnessed Vikram Singh and his companions at the crime scene. Armed, they threatened the victims and demanded money for their fake "protection."

Determined to find the truth and provide the victims with justice, Aisha listens closely, her thoughts racing over possible questions to ask next.

Aisha's unwavering quest for justice is rewarded when she provides the jury and the judge with unquestionable evidence of the defendants' guilt.

Judge(gravely): It is evident from a close examination of the evidence put up in this court that Vikram Singh and his associates, the defendants, are guilty of the offenses for which they are accused. For their despicable acts, I hereby sentence them to the maximum extent of the law.

As the court declares the decision, Aisha exhales with relief and a feeling of satisfaction that justice has been served to the victims and their families.

The city had been terrorized for years by the legendary master of goons and his nefarious activities. His reign of terror came to an end when Aisha, in her unwavering pursuit for justice, was able to get sufficient evidence to find him guilty of several horrible crimes, such as murder, extortion, and kidnapping.

Even though he was given a life sentence, he still carried profound resentment toward Aisha and vowed to get revenge on the young lawyer who had caused his downfall.

Aisha gets a shiver down her spine one fateful day as she strolls by herself into a dimly lighted alley and senses that someone is watching her. He emerges from the shadows before she can respond, a threatening smirk on his lips.

Leader(menacingly): Well, well, well...dekho hamaare paas is sthaan par kya hai. Vah khoobasoorat vakeel jisaka maanana ​​tha ki vah shaktishaali keen ko nasht kar sakati hai(Look at what we have in this location. The petite lawyer who believed she might destroy the powerful KN.)

Aisha(keeping her composure): KN,aap kya chaahate hain(what do you want?)

KN(advancing menacingly): Oh, my sweetheart,mujhe vishvaas hai ki tum samajhati ho ki main kya chaahata hoon. Badala. Aur tumane mere saath jo kiya usake liye tumhe bhaari keemat chukaani padegi(I believe you understand what I want. Revenge. And you will pay a heavy price for what you did to me.)

Fear surges through Aisha as KN gets closer, his presence hanging over her like a black cloud.

Aisha(trying to reason): Isase kuch bhi hal nahi hota, KN. Aap bas apane liye sthiti kharaab kar rahe hain(This doesn't solve anything, KN. You're just worsening the situation for yourself.)

KN(laughing mockingly): Haan, Aisha, main parinaamon se nahi darata. Not any longer. Ab aapase badala lene ka samay aa gaya hai kyonki aapane mera sab kuch chura liya hai(Yes, Aisha, I don't fear the consequences. Not any longer. It's time to exact payback on you because you've stolen everything from me.)

Kartik strides forward, seizing Aisha's arm as he drags her farther into the alley with obvious intent. His hold feels like a vice.

Aisha(struggling against his hold): Mujhe jaane do, KN! Aap aisa nahi kar sakate(Let go of me, KN! You can't do this!)

KN(gleefully): Bilkul, Aisha, lekin main kar sakata hoon. Aur mere dvaara kiya jaayega. Tumhe afasos hoga ki tum kabhi mujhase mile(Absolutely, Aisha, but I can. And I will. You will be sorry that you ever came across me)

As Kartik's hold tightens, there's an abrupt commotion nearby that catches onlookers' attention. Taking advantage of the situation, Aisha escapes from Kartik's hold and runs for cover, her pulse racing with terror but her spirit unflinching.

After her terrifying meeting with KN, Aisha is returning to Chandigarh, her childhood home, seeking protection and solace. Her heart races with a mixture of relief and anxiety. Her family greets her with a loving embrace as soon as she opens the door, and she can feel their love and care.

Leela(tears of joy streaming down her cheeks): Meri pyaari, Aisha, tum surakshit ho! Bhagavaan ka shukr hai aap ghar par hain(My darling, Aisha, you're safe! Thank God you're home.)

Aisha(returning the embrace): Main theek hoon Ammi. Main ab theek hoon(I'm okay, Ammi. I'm okay now.)

Aisha feels at ease as she takes in the comfortable surroundings of her childhood home, her family's love serving as a comforting balm for her tormented spirit.

Ambar(with a proud smile): Aisha,aap ek saahasi yuva mahila hain. Yahi to hum humesha se jaanate hain(you're a courageous young lady. That's what we've always known.)

Ajay(placing a reassuring hand on Aisha's shoulder): Hum aapake liye yahaan hain, Aisha. Aapako jo bhi chaahiye, hum isamen ek saath hain(We're here for you, Aisha. Whatever you need, we're in this together.)

Realizing the extent of her family's love and support, Aisha's eyes well up with tears of gratitude, a constant reminder that she is never alone in her trials.

Aisha(voice trembling with emotion): Thank you, Ajay. Main sabhi ko dhanyavaad dena chaahata hoon. Tumhaare bina, mujhe nahi pata ki main kya karoongi(I want to thank everyone. Without you, I don't know what I would do.)

After what seems like an age, Aisha finally finds her beloved brother Jay, and her heart skips a beat. She rushes forward to give him a firm embrace, tears of happiness in her eyes, their relationship unbroken even after all this time.

Aisha(emotionally): Jay bhaiya! Oh, how I've missed you!

Jay(returning the embrace): Meri khoobasoorat bahan Aisha! Yah bahut lamba samay ho gaya hai(My beautiful sister Aisha! It has been far too long.)

Aisha's eyes light up with love as she looks at her younger sisters, Zara, Maya, and Priya—all of whom she cherishes in her life—as they ease out of their embrace.

Aisha(smiling warmly): Aur meri khoobasoorat bahanon par ek nazar daalen! Naina, Kaveri, aur Gulabo... tum log kitane bade ho gae ho(And have a look at my beautiful sisters! Naina, Kaveri, and Gulabo... How you guys have grown!)

Zara/Gulabo(grinning): Did you miss us, Aisha didi?

Maya-Kaveri(playfully): Zara,beshak usane aisa kiya! Kya koi teen musketeers ko yaad karana bhool sakata hai(of course she did! Could anyone forget to miss the three Musketeers?)

Priya-Naina(teasingly): Aisha didi,aapake door rahane ke dauraan hum pareshaaniyaan paida kar rahe hain. Aapako ek baar phir hamen seedha karana hogi(we've been causing trouble while you've been away. You'll need to set us straight us once more.)

With a giggle, Aisha expresses her immense love for her sisters and her gratitude for having them in her life.

Few Days Later:

As Aisha gathers her family to break the unexpected news that will forever change their lives, her heart leaps with apprehensive excitement and anticipation. She takes a deep breath, her voice full with amazement and joy, and speaks, her shaky palm resting protectively over her growing belly.

Aisha(beaming with happiness): Mere paas aap sabhi ko bataane ke liye ek avishvasaneey baat hai. Ajay aur main maata-pita banane vaale hain(I have an incredible thing to tell you all. Ajay and I are going to be parents!)

As Aisha's family reacts to the unexpected news, their eyes widening with wonder and love, gasps of surprise and delight fill the room.

Leela(overcome with emotion): Oh,meri pyaari Aisha! Yah shaanadaar khabar hai(my sweetheart Aisha! That's fantastic news!)

Ambar(proudly): Congratulations,beta. Aap ek adbhut Dad banane ja rahe hain(son. You are going to be an amazing dad.)

Jay(grinning from ear to ear): Aisha,yah avishvasaneey hai! Main Maama ban jaoonga(It's unbelievable! I will become an uncle!)

Zara, Maya, and Priya, Aisha's younger sisters, light up with excitement and beaming with happiness at the thought of being aunties to the newest member of the family.

Zara-Gulabo(excitedly): Aisha didi, this is amazing news! Main apane chote bhateeje ya bhatiji se milane ka intajaar nahi kar sakati(I can't wait to meet my little nephew or niece!)

Maya-Kaveri(hugging Aisha tightly): Aisha,main aapake liye behad khush hoon! Tum ek shaanadaar maan banogi(I'm extremely happy for you! You'll be a fantastic mother.)

Aisha feels her family's love and support wrapping her like a warm embrace, and she laughs through happy tears.

Aisha(gratefully): Thank you, everyone. Ajay aur main ek saath is nai yaatra ko shuroo karane ke liye romaanchit hoon, aur hum aapake samarthan ke liye behad aabhaari hain(and I are thrilled to be starting this new journey together, and we are extremely thankful for your support.)

Eager to see the child for the first time, Aisha and Ajay head to the hospital. Their enthusiasm is evident as they enter the examination room with hearts full of anticipation.

Aisha(smiling nervously): Ajay,kya aap vishvaas kar sakate hain ki hum jald hi apane bachche ko pahali baar dekhenge(can you believe that we will soon be seeing our baby for the first time?)

Ajay(grinning proudly): Aisha,yah ek adbhut ehasaas hai. Main apane nanhe se milane ke liye bahut utsaahit hoon(it's an amazing feeling. I am very excited to meet our little one.)

Aisha reclines on the examination table as they take in their new surroundings, her hand instinctively reaching out to grasp Ajay's in order to feel comforted and relaxed. As the ultrasonography technician starts the scan, the room is filled with amazement and astonishment, and the soft hum of the equipment fills the air.

Aisha and Ajay watch in breathless anticipation as the technician moves the ultrasound probe over Aisha's belly, the image of their baby slowly coming into view on the monitor.

Aisha(tears welling up in her eyes): Oh, Ajay, look! That's our baby!

The technician fills their hearts with amazement and delight as they gaze in astonishment at the screen, pointing out different features of their baby, such as tiny fingers and toes and a beating heart.

Few Months Later:

Aisha is now 23 years old and has been married for a year. With her hands firmly clenched in Ajay's, Aisha relaxes on the examination table in the calm ambiance of the ultrasound room, anticipating the moment when they would finally get a glimpse of their developing child. As the doctor is ready to reveal their child's gender, there is a lot of excitement in the air.

Doctor(smiling warmly): Okay, Ajay, Aisha,kya aap yah pata lagaane ke liye taiyaar hain ki aapake parivaar mein ek chota rajakumaar ya rajakumaari aaegi(Are you ready to find out whether you will be having a little prince or princess in your family?)

Aisha(nodding eagerly): Yes, doctor. We've been waiting for this moment for so long.

Ajay(grinning with excitement): Absolutely! We're on pins and needles here.

The doctor leads them through the images on the screen, pointing out the various traits of their baby with a gentle sweep of the ultrasonic wand. When Aisha watches their small one, growing up healthy and strong, her heart bursts with love.

Doctor(pointing to a specific area on the screen): Aur vah aa gaya... vah kshan jisaka aap intajaar kar rahe the. Kya aap ling jaanana chaahenge(And there it is... the moment you've been waiting for. Would you like to know the gender?)

Ajay(leaning in closer, his eyes filled with anticipation): Hamen batao, doctor. Hamaare paas kya hain(Tell us, doctor. What are we having?)

Doctor(smiling): Congrats, Aisha and Ajay. Aapake pyaare parivaar mein ek khoobasoorat bachi ka janm hone vaala hai(A gorgeous baby girl is about to be born into your loving family.)

As Aisha and Ajay receive the news, a flood of pure joy sweeps over them, their hearts exploding with delight at the prospect of their beloved daughter.

Aisha(tears of joy streaming down her cheeks): Ek ladaki... hamaari ek ladaki hai, Ajay(A girl... We're having a girl, Ajay!)

Aisha and Ajay give one other an affectionate embrace as they celebrate the wonderful life they have together, tears of joy shining in their eyes.

Aisha(sniffling): Hamaari choti ladaki... use bahut pyaar kiya jaega(Our little girl... She's going to be so loved, Ajay.)

Ajay(placing a gentle kiss on Aisha's forehead): Haan, Aisha, vah hogi. Vah aapaki maan ke saath kaise nahi ho sakati(Yes, Aisha, she will be. How could she not be, with you as her mother?)

Aisha and Ajay are overwhelmed with love and gratitude as they savor this momentous occasion, knowing that their lives will soon be forever changed by the arrival of their adorable baby.

3 months later:

If any of those things bother you, please stop reading; if not, you're welcome to carry on reading.

Jay is watching in terror from his hideout, helpless to stop the goons as they brutally destroy his loving family, as thunder rumbles menacingly in the distance. Their cries pierce the air, each one a knife to Jay's heart as he witnesses the unimaginable.

Amma(pleading):  Please, have mercy! Hamane kuch bhi galat nahi kiya hai(We've done nothing wrong!)

Baba(desperately): Hamaare bachchon ko bakhsh do! Please main aap se bheekh maangata hoon(Spare our children! Please, I beg of you!)

Maya-Kaveri(gasping for breath): Jay,hum tumase pyaar karate hain... yah mat bhoolo(we love you... Don't forget that...)

Every shot is a devastating reminder of the innocent lives being taken right in front of his eyes as the sound of gunfire reverberates throughout the night.

Ajay arrives there in time to watch his loved ones brutally attacked as the night's chaos takes place. Racing forward, his mind whirling with thoughts of protecting Aisha and his unborn child, his heart pounding with horror and anguish.

Ajay(shouting desperately):Nahi! Unase door raho! Ruko, Aisha, main apane raaste par hoon(Nooo! Stay away from them! Hold on, Aisha, I'm on my way!)

The attackers put up an uphill battle against Ajay and Jay in spite of their valiant attempts, pushing them back with every blow.

Amma(weakly): Ajay... Save Aisha... Protect our baby...

Baba(struggling to breathe): Unaka khyaal rakhana, Ajay... ve hamaara bhavishy hain(Take care of them, Ajay... They're our future)

Zara-Gulabo(sobbing): Bhaiya... Please...unaki raksha karen(Protect them...)

Maya-Kaveri(gasping for air): Ajay...hamaari choti bachi... mujhase vaada karo(Our little one... Promise me)

Priya-Naina(barely audible): Ajay bhaiya...hamaare bachche ko bachao(Save our baby...)

(Imagine Jay and Ajay instead)

Aisha's fragile body rests in Ajay's arms as the violence erupts all around them, her breathing becoming laborious as she struggles for her life. Ajay's mind swirls with disbelief and heartbreak as he realizes the seriousness of the situation they are in, and his heart clenches with suffering.

Ajay(voice trembling): Meri anamol Chanda...please yaheen mere saath raho. Mujhe akela mat chodo(My precious Chanda... Please stay here with me. Don't leave me alone)

Aisha(weakly): Ajay,hamaari bachi... mujhase vaada karo... main chaahata hoon ki aap vaada karen ki aap hamaare bachi ki raksha karenge(our baby... Promise me... I want you to promise that you will protect our child.)

At Aisha's words, Ajay's heart breaks into a million pieces, her plea weighing heavily on him. His face is wet with tears as he tries to process the terrible loss they've experienced.

Aisha(whispering): Hamaari bachi... hamaari choti si chamatkaar... mujhe kshama karen, Ajay... mujhe bahut khed hai(Our baby... Our little miracle... I'm sorry, Ajay... I'm so sorry.)

The thought of their unborn child makes Ajay's heart shatter once more, the reality of their loss overtaking him like a tsunami. He is filled with an immense sense of sorrow and helplessness at that time, realizing that their dreams for a future together have been brutally crushed.

Ajay(voice cracking): No, Aisha. Kabhi maafi na maangen. Dosh tumhaara nahi hai. Main tumase pyaar karata hoon, Chanda, meri jaan. I love you Hamesha hamesha ke liye(Never apologize. You are not to blame. I love you, Chanda, my love. Always...Forever)

Aisha: Thank you har cheez ke liye, Ajay. Mere jeevan ke do sabase bade aasheervaad aap aur priy Ananya hain. Ab mujhe bhagavaan ke paas vaapas jaana hai aur us pyaar aur khushi ke liye unhe dhanyavaad dena hai jo unhone mujhe diya. Main itana bhaagyashaali nahi tha ki is jeevan ko aapake saath saajha kar sakoon. Lekin ek din, main kasam khaata hoon, hum phir se milenge. Main bhi aapase pyaar karata hoon. I love you too(for everything, Ajay. The two greatest blessings in my life are you and dear Ananya. Now I have to go back to God and give him thanks for all the love and happiness he provided me. I wasn't fortunate enough to share this life with you. But one day, I swear, we'll get reunite. I love you too)

Following the disaster, Ajay experiences a deafening stillness during which his grief consumes him completely. Ajay is struck with a pain so intense that it splits his soul as he watches Aisha's life fade in his arms and feels the weight of their unborn child's death crushing down on him.

As he watches Aisha go, her last breaths echoing in the night's darkness, Ajay draws her close, his heart heavy with sorrow. Next to him, Jay stands in quiet distress, tears welling up in his eyes as he observes the destruction their family has experienced.

Ajay lets out his suffering in a moment of pure terror, a heartbreaking scream that blasts through the night and sounds like a primordial cry of devastation and despair. It is a cry that echoes through the very center of his heart, bearing the weight of all the love and hopes that have been smashed in an instant. It is a cry of sorrow, rage, and unfathomable loss.

Jay's resolve grows steel in the midst of his shattered world. The flames of revenge spark within him as he observes the horrific massacre of his beloved family, burning so fiercely that it consumes his own soul. With tears streaming down his face and his heart aching, Jay promises his fallen loved ones that he won't stop until justice is done.

Jay(voice trembling with emotion): Teri yaad mein, Amie, Baba, Chanda, Gulabo, Kaveri, Naina, kasam khaata hoon. Main tumase badala loonga. Main sabhi ko unake kaaryon ke liye jimmedaar thharaoonga(On your memory, Ammi, Baba, Chanda, Gulabo, Kaveri, Naina, I swear. I'll exact revenge for you. I'll hold everyone responsible for their actions accountable.)

His voice rises to the sky above, his solemn pledge resonating in the empty darkness. At that precise moment, he is overcome with a renewed sense of purpose and drive that propels him forward.

Jay(clenching his fists): aaj se main har aakhiri kameene ko dhoondhane ja raha hoon. Main unake raashtr ko tab tak tukade-tukade karake nasht karane ja raha hoon jab tak ki keval raakh hi shesh na rah jaaye.(I'm going to find every last one of the bastards starting today. I am going to destroy their nation, piece by piece, until only ashes remain.)

Jay embarks on a journey that takes him down a perilous and dark road because he is determined to get revenge. He goes in search of the shadows, the underworld where merciless cruelty and cold steel administer justice.

Jay(as he steps into the shadows): Unhn maarane ke liye, mujhe vah sab kuch banana pad sakata hai jisase main napharat karata hoon. Haalaanki, main isase bhi oopar jaoonga. Tumhaare liye, Aisha. Aapamen se har kisi ke liye(To kill them, I might have to become everything I hate. However, I'll go above and beyond. For you, Aisha. For everyone among you.)

Jay is completely transformed with every step he takes. He turns into a shadow himself, a ghost that prowls the streets with a burning desire for vengeance. And he departs from the innocence of his past as he goes deeper into the criminal underground, accepting the demon inside of him and being ready to lash out at anyone who has the audacity to take anything away from him.

With a heavy heart, Jay watches as Angelina cries, her emotions unfiltered and raw after his tragic story. Jay has just finished telling her harrowing tale of his past. With his own eyes mirroring the anguish and loss of his past, he extends out a hand to gently brush away her tears.

Jay(softly): Angel

Angelina(choking back sobs): Jay...main sachamuch kalpana bhi nahi kar sakati... yah bilkul vinaashakaari hai(I really can't even imagine... It's simply devastating.)

Unable to find the words to ease her pain, Jay simply wraps his arms around her, holding her close as she lets out a heart-wrenching sob. In that moment, their shared grief binds them together, offering a glimmer of solace amidst the darkness.
