At the tea stall, Laila threw down kettles and tossed a wooden crate into the road. The townspeople — stirred by Meera’s filings and the audacity of the raid — poured out of their homes. Women with rolling pins, farmers with iron rods, children with stones. Malik’s men hesitated. They had never faced a whole town.
