Shadow: The Code of Honor - Prelude

When a rising Indian diplomat, Arvind Pratap Singh, is killed in a high-profile bombing in Kabul, a fragile peace initiative between India and Pakistan collapses overnight. But amid the smoke and diplomatic fallout, two unlikely figures are drawn into a deeper conspiracy: Wing Commander Sohail Mirza “Shadow”, a battle-tested Pakistani fighter pilot, and Ananya Rao, an Indian foreign service officer with secrets of her own. As tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors escalate, Shadow and Ananya uncover evidence that the attacks were orchestrated not by rogue militants—but by a powerful international network led by a ghostlike strategist known only as Blackwell, and his extremist ally, Mullah Ahab. Their goal? Destabilize South Asia, fracture alliances, and profit from chaos. From fiery air battles over disputed borders to backchannel diplomacy in Geneva and deadly surveillance in Istanbul, Shadow Protocol unfolds as a high-stakes thriller that blends espionage, military realism, and political intrigue. While war hawks on both sides call for blood, Shadow and Ananya work behind the scenes—sometimes at odds, sometimes together—to prevent a full-scale regional war. But peace has a price. With allies compromised, enemies hidden in plain sight, and the world watching, the duo must make impossible choices. Their actions lead to the creation of SENTRY—a secretive multinational taskforce built to intercept emerging threats before they ignite conflict. As the dust settles, peace feels within reach. But the shadows are never empty. The chaos has only just begun.

shadow of desires

Shadow of Desires From the Alleys of Lucknow to the Underworld’s Throne. Set against the grimy tapestry of Lucknow’s class divides and the glittering menace of global crime, Shadow of Desires traces the harrowing journey of Mufidul Sheeraz Akhtar—a boy forged by poverty, sharpened by betrayal, and consumed by the hunger to rewrite his destiny. The Spark of Ambition (2008–2015): Orphaned at 8 when his father, a low-ranking clerk, dies of cardiac arrest, Mufidul becomes the reluctant patriarch of a crumbling household. His mother, Shahana Parveen, battles UP’s bureaucratic quagmire to secure their meager pension, while his brothers—Zohrez, the dreamer, and Raheem, the sickly toddler—lean on him for survival. By 12, Mufidul masters the art of scarcity: diluting milk with gutter water, forging ration cards, and bribing local officials with *mithai* boxes. But when Zohrez nearly dies from counterfeit medicine sold at Prakash Medical, Mufidul’s innocence shatters. “Money isn’t desire,” he hisses to the night sky, “it’s armor.” The Descent (2016–2020): At 16, Mufidul drops out of City Montessori School, trading textbooks for contraband. He starts small—smuggling stolen car parts across the Nepal border—but his mathematician’s mind soon devises risk-reward algorithms that impress Lucknow’s underground kingpin, Raza Bhai. Under Raza’s tutelage, Mufidul learns to launder money through sari emporiums, hack into police databases, and exploit UP’s political rivalries. His first kill—a corrupt cop who threatens Raheem—leaves him trembling but addicted to the rush of control. By 19, he builds Zunar Enterprises, a front company trafficking arms from Myanmar’s rebel factions to Mumbai’s gang lords. The Ascent (2021–2028): Mufidul’s genius lies in his duality: the boy who still mends Zohrez’s torn shirts becomes the “Ghost of Gomti”, a phantom orchestrating heists from Macau to Marrakech. He infiltrates cryptocurrency markets, manipulates Bollywood studios for money laundering, and seduces an Interpol analyst (Ayesha Kapoor) to leak classified files. His signature move? Using childhood chess strategies to outmaneuver rivals—sacrificing pawns (loyal henchmen) to protect his queen (family). But as his empire grows—spanning 41 nations via shell companies, drug cartels, and stolen AI tech—the cracks widen. Shahana, now a hollow-eyed widow, disowns him after discovering his crimes. Zohrez, a law student, threatens to testify. The Unraveling (2029–2031): Interpol’s Operation Black Lotus paints Mufidul as Public Enemy #1. Betrayed by Ayesha, who plants a tracker in his vintage HMT watch, he flees through Lucknow’s labyrinthine gullies—past the kebab stalls and chess clubs of his youth—now a fugitive in the city that raised him. In a climactic showdown at the ruins of the Lucknow Residency, Mufidul faces Zohrez, now a prosecutor. “You became what killed Abbu,” Zohrez snarls, “greed wrapped in excuses.” The Shadow’s End: Cornered by NATO forces in Istanbul, Mufidul chooses cyanide over surrender. His final act? Transferring ₹8,400 crore to a secret account—not for his brothers, but to build free cardiac hospitals across Uttar Pradesh. *“Let them hate my name,”* his diary reads, *“but let my mother’s pension never fail again.”* --- Themes: - The Poverty Trap: How systemic rot in India’s welfare machinery breeds desperation. - Moral Calculus: Whether evil deeds can be justified as “love” for family. - Legacy: Can blood money ever cleanse itself? Style: Gritty, lyrical, and unflinchingly visceral—a Slumdog Millionaire meets Scarface tragedy rooted in the smells of Lucknow’s chaat stalls and the cold logic of offshore bank accounts. “They called him a monster. But monsters aren’t born—they’re sculpted by the hands that starved them".

Day,s Gone Never Come

We have a saying that if I take revenge, I will fulfill it. So I'm a doctor by profession! But let me tell you a story. In the 19th century, our grandfather's grandfather, my great-grandfather, you might say the same thing. My great-grandfather, whose name was Zaman, used to say that he was very hardworking. They used to make ends meet. Suddenly one day late at night Tilak returned home where they were living with everyone. The color blew. Fear is on his face. All the comrades who returned trembling were very upset to see them. After much insistence, when my heart was somewhat relieved, he said, "Wherever I go to work nowadays, I will not go there after today, no matter what happens. I will return to the village and work there." When my great-grandfather's friends who lived with him asked a lot of questions, he told his story. A house was under construction near a cemetery some distance from the city. One day a man came to me. And he said that I am currently looking for a mechanic for housework, but after searching a lot of places, I did not find any qualified mechanic. Zaman Sahib, who had been looking for work for a long time, said, "All right." After finishing all the talks, Zaman Sahib went to this place. There was a strange horror when I (Zaman) reached the old cemetery far from the city. It was cold weather and they were grinding in it too. I said, Mr. Sheikh Sahib, you thought of building a house far away. In fact, my wife likes solitude, so the thought of living miles away from the city is a bit far from the city. Another complete silence was needed. Inspected the house and found out. The house was surrounded by a wall and a room was built inside, the roof of which was made of mud.

Crazy Rich Squad : Dolmabache Gate MOVE TO NEW LINK

SINOPSIS "Jangan pernah bicara tentang arti cinta kepadaku. Seseorang yang tidak mengerti arti seni tidak pantas bicara tentang cinta. Dan kamu, adalah salah satunya." Prameswari terpaku, kalimat itu membuatnya sadar, bahwa selama ini, sikap kasar dan dingin yang ditunjukan Ferhat untuk dirinya, adalah luka masa lalu saat Ferhat hidup sebagai Aslan, yang telah digoreskan olehnya. Belum sempat Prameswari menjelaskan segalanya, Aslan telah menutup mata perlahan di pangkuannya sambil tersenggal seolah nafasnya akan berhenti. Tepat di saat Prameswari hendak mencabut belati tersebut, berharap masih sempat menyelamatkan Aslan dan menjelaskan semuanya, kesadarannya seperti berangsur hilang, dan tiba-tiba saja dirinya telah berada dalam pelukan seseorang yang paling dia benci di dunia ini. Ferhat. ~•••~ Prameswari adalah seorang siswi teladan dari desa kecil di Jawa Tengah, tepatnya Desa Bangsri Jepara yang mendapatkan beasiswa untuk meneruskan pendidikan di salah satu pusat mode dunia, yaitu kota Paris, negara Perancis. Keadaan membawanya pada perseteruan panjang dengan Ferhat, Asisten Dosen yang menjadi pembimbingnya. Ferhat memang selalu dingin dan cenderung sinis kepada wanita, tidak terkecuali kepada Prameswari. Meskipun demikian, Prameswari tidak perduli. Sampai saat mereka harus bekerjasama membuat tugas proyek yang membuat keduanya terpaksa pergi ke Istanbul Turki bersama-sama. Sebuah peristiwa supranatural membuat Prameswari tersedot dan mengalami kehidupan di masa lalu, yang membuatnya mengerti, mengapa Ferhat sangat membenci wanita, khususnya Prameswari. Prameswari yang menyadari bahwa Aslan dan Ferhat adalah jiwa yang sama dalam raga yang berbeda, serta hidup dalam waktu yang berbeda, membuatnya mengerti, mengapa Ferhat sangat membenci dirinya. Hari-hari selanjutnya adalah perjuangan bagi Prameswari untuk membuat Ferhat mengerti bahwa peristiwa di masa lalu adalah sebuah fitnah yang diciptakan oleh orang-orang yang tidak senang dengan kebersamaan mereka. Sayangnya, Prameswari tidak sempat memberikan penjelasan mengenai kebenaran itu di masa lalu. Membuat Aslan membawa rasa sakitnya hingga ke masa depan sebagai seorang Ferhat. Prameswari hanya mampu mengenang semua kisah masa lalunya yang singkat dalam waktu masa kini --namun terasa sangat lama dalam bilangan masa lalu-- hanya bisa menerima dan mengucapkan terima kasih pada masa lalu yang telah memberinya kenangan terindah. Disaat yang sama, Prameswari juga harus merasakan pedihnya luka karena kesalahpahaman masa lalu yang terbawa ke masa depan. Untuk waktu yang lama, baik Prameswari maupun Ferhat, sama-sama sangat ingin dimengerti sekaligus tidak mengerti atas apa yang terjadi diantara mereka. Prameswari ingin sekali mengatakan, "bahwa mencintai tidak memerlukan alasan, apalagi keahlian, termasuk seni. Karena cinta adalah cinta itu sendiri." ~•••~ BLURB Dolmabache adalah nama sebuah istana megah dan mewah yang berada di Istanbul, Turki. Kemegahannya ditandai dengan banyaknya taburan kristal pada ornamen, maupun lapisan emas pada banyak bagian interiornya. Bahkan lampu yang menggantung tercatat memiliki berat lebih dari 50 kg. Keistimewaan lain dari Istana Dolmabache adalah mirroring disain pada interiornya. Hampir setiap aspek memiliki kesamaan di kedua sisi, sehingga tampak seperti pantulan cermin. Selain itu, Istana Dolmabache berada di tepi selat Bosphorus. Sehingga pada saat senja orang akan mudah terhanyut suasana, terutama bagi pasangan muda yang sedang dimabuk cinta. Istana Dolmabache telah banyak menginspirasi seniman dunia dalam karya mereka. Termasuk saya, yang ingin menulis keindahan Istana Dolmabache dalam sebuah fiksi berjudul "Dolmabache Gate".
