The Code of Freedom

Nirmal's heart raced as he stood on the edge of a daring mission. The stakes were high, but he urged himself to remain calm. Taking a moment to steady himself, he closed his eyes, focusing on the purpose that propelled him forward: getting money to save his sister's life.

Nirmal knew his old computer held the answers. The code he had meticulously crafted could unlock a future free from his sister's suffering. He would resell it to the highest bidder. Justifying his actions, he saw it as his rightful possession, stolen by the harsh blows of recession layoffs. Seizing an unexpected opportunity, he slipped past distracted guards attending to a fallen woman.

Stealthily following a janitor, Nirmal infiltrated the offices. With determination, he inserted the USB, feeling a glimmer of hope. Yet, his triumph was short-lived. A familiar voice demanded to know his purpose. Panic surged through him. Thinking on his feet, Nirmal made up an excuse, playing along to avoid suspicion.

Slipping away from Adrian's gaze, he hastily left the building, clutching the USB tightly. Although the mission was accomplished, Nirmal stood between safety and danger, haunted by the consequences of his actions. His journey was far from over.
