He couldn't utter the words that came to his tongue; instead, he placed his hand on his chest, feeling the pounding of his heart as if it might burst. His entire body trembled uncontrollably, even his lips quivered. He squeezed his eyes shut and bit down hard on both lips, trying to steady himself. He collapsed onto the sofa as his legs could no longer support him due to the shaking. A sudden wave of intense sweat broke out from his head down to his toes.
He kept shaking his head in disbelief, internally denying the contents of the document. "No! Impossible! It's not my Aryan... No way Aryan would do this to me. No! It's not my Aryan; it must be another Aryan," he thought, struggling to breathe properly. He quickly looked at the document again, seeing clearly the name of the person who filed the complaint—his Aryan, accusing him of raping Zahra. He closed his eyes in pain and exhaled heavily.
A wave of nausea hit him, and his mouth felt dry and bitter. His head throbbed as if it were about to split in two. Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by a severe fever. He felt as if he wanted to die, to escape the horrible situation unfolding before him. He slid down onto the sofa, lying on his stomach, shivering uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Aryan, after dropping Hajia Kaka at home, headed straight to the courthouse where he had filed the complaint. He went there to prepare for the hearing scheduled for the upcoming Monday.
