Mayi wina wazaka 35, dzina lake Smita, * yemwe ankakhala mumzinda wa Dhaka ku Bangladesh, ankadziwika kuti anali wachikondi komanso woganizira ena. Anthu ankaona kuti mayiyu anali wolimbikira ntchito, banja lake linkayenda bwino komanso ankathandiza ena kuti adziwe Mulungu. Koma Smita anadwala mwadzidzidzi, n’kumwalira pasanathe mlungu umodzi. Zimenezi zinamvetsa chisoni kwambiri anthu a m’banja lake komanso anzake.

James ndi mkazi wake, omwe onse anali azaka za m’ma 30, ankakhala ku New York. Mofanana ndi Smita, iwonso ankadziwika kuti anali anthu abwino. Pa nthawi ina, anapita kudera lakumadzulo kwa dziko la United States kukacheza kwa anzawo. Koma chomvetsa chisoni n’choti sanabwererenso. Ali komweko, anachita ngozi yoopsa ya galimoto ndipo anafa n’kusiya abale ndi anzawo akuntchito manja ali m’khosi.

Masiku ano, mavuto ali ponseponse. Asilikali ambirimbiri komanso anthu osalakwa amafa pa nkhondo. Anthu enanso osalakwa amavutika chifukwa cha zinthu zophwanya malamulo ndi zachiwawa zimene anthu ena amachita. Palinso anthu ambiri amene amavutika chifukwa cha ngozi komanso chifukwa cha kulumala atadwala matenda oopsa. Izi zimachitikira aliyense kaya wolemera, wosauka, wamkulu kapenanso mwana. Ngozi zadzidzidzi, monga kusefukira kwa madzi, zimatha kusesa mudzi kapena dera lonse mosasankha. Ndiponso anthu ambiri amasankhana mitundu komanso amachita zinthu mwatsankho, ndipo mwina inunso mwavutikapo chifukwa cha zinthu zoterezi.
