They meet by chance in snowy Srinagar. Rehan, amused by her blindness, initially tricks her, but soon falls into her warmth. Zooni, who cannot see his face, falls in love with his laughter, his lies, and the way he describes colours she’s never seen. Against all warnings, they marry.

He doesn’t deny it. He tells her everything—the handler, the bomb, the years of regret. He doesn’t ask for forgiveness. He only asks to stay one more day, because his handlers have found him and he has 24 hours to live.
