Ronjon drove his way to Nirabpur and contacted his Uncle discreetly.

In Taajwar's study, they drank tea as they discussed the events in the past days.

"I never thought this organization is this large and violent. Good to hear nothing happened to both of you. How about Monojit?"

"I'm heading to Paak for that. How was it after the arson?"

"Some good, some bad. My Inn is the one receiving the blunder. They harassed people. We're losing customers. Concerning Gabina and Hakoon, they are living with us so they are far from harm.

    The money was worth a hundred Lakh. It was a tremendous amount in those days. The officer went to Ninu Das' prison cell to understand the bribe he received.

    In the Capital, the British government heard of a mass protest planned by the religious leaders demanding the transfer of power to the nationals. There were two religions, Muslim and Hindu, gearing up to receive the transfer. The government wished for the unity of the country, but found the two groups adamant to have their own nations. Thus, the British Raj planned to appease and mark the country into two separate nations, but violence heightened between the two faiths before it could happen.Ronjon and Asha's wedding was set a month after.

"We already talked about this the previous days. You have to go. Believe me, I'll follow.""I don't know but I'm afraid." Her hands clutched his back shirt, crumpling it in the process."Afraid of what?""Afraid I won't see you again. Please let me stay. Please."Her words squeezed Ronjon's chest. His eyes were starting to get watery. He sighed in desperation, thought of giving in to her request. Suddenly, the door
