The story revolves around a character named Kumud who is lost in memories while looking through a photo album in her room. As she reminisces about the past, tears flow down her cheeks, and she feels deep emotional pain, as if acid were being poured on her face. Her mother enters the room and expresses concern for her, asking what she is doing alone by the window. Kumud shares her feelings about her father, highlighting his handsome appearance in the photos and expressing guilt for being the cause of his death, which she attributes to their last argument and the burden of words left unspoken. Her mother comforts her, acknowledging that her father succumbed to cancer, but Kumud expresses doubt about the diagnosis, suggesting that cancer is merely a term created by pharmaceutical companies for profit. She believes that her father's internalization of her words became a festering wound that permeated his blood, which doctors call "blood cancer." The story captures themes of grief, guilt, and the complexities of familial relationships.
