“ Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahe koi Nishaan Mera... Mehfoos Haato Mein Rahega Yeh Jahan Mera.” These are the lines from Raazi that inspired this story. Ajabdeh’s head hurt. The last thing she remembered was that she had lost contact with the base as well as Jalal. Her device had some technical glitch, and she had no idea when either Major Singh or King was going to arrive with backup. She saw the gang load their boxes into small trucks and decided to go ahead with the mission all by herself, minus the backup. She had no time to wait for them. They needed to be stopped from escaping. Since the day she wore the uniform, Ajabdeh had never cared about her life. Yet that day, when she was putting the silencer on her gun, her eyes stopped briefly at the name on her faded Mehendi, and her heart skipped a beat. In a moment, she believed he would understand.
