Just then, Veer Pratap Singh thundered down the road on his motorcycle. He was off-duty but never off-mission when it came to helping others. He stopped, assessed the situation, and without a second thought, took command. He patched up the driver, arranged for the bus, and personally escorted the distraught, elegant Pakistani woman to her destination.

Back in Lahore, Zaara tried to bury her heart. But every melody, every gust of wind, every shadow reminded her of Veer. She cancelled the wedding, much to her family’s horror, especially her stern but loving father, Chaudhary Sumer Singh. When her father demanded a reason, her silence spoke louder than any rebellion.

But time was a thief. Zaara’s family, back in Lahore, had already arranged her engagement to Raza, the arrogant and influential son of a rival politician. Her duty called her home. At the train station that would take her to the border, Zaara hesitated. Veer, his eyes holding back a storm, simply said, “Go. Your world needs you. But remember, some bonds are not meant to be broken.”
