In a sudden turn of events, Anoj sexually assaults Zara. Deepening the damage more, Anoj’s mother not only bears witness to the act, but she encourages it.Now at a crossroads, Zara struggles with upholding the rules set into motion by cultural propriety and status versus speaking openly about the torment of being destroyed at such a fragile age.
