Sympathising with Babak's objectives Nabi and Hajar felt a strong passion to fight injustice and defend those who are helpless like them. As they had pledged near the bank of Aras River to be with each other, until death make them part.
On the third day they encountered a group of Khan's riders. The battle took a while until Nabi was hit in the leg. They had to find a proper shelter since they can not go on their way. Hajar on the other hand had tried her best to guard him by shooting at anything that moved to protect him. They are aware that other groups will be coming knowing that Nabi is wounded and helpless.
Hajar proceeded to nurse Nabi's wound, she has to take the bullet out of Nabi's leg for the wound to heal. She made her knife hot over the fire and used it to pry out the bullet. Nabi had to endure the pain by biting on a piece of cloth to prevent him from shouting. He perspired heavily and finally fainted because of the pain. He felt cold water running on his face when he gained consciousness. He also found out that his wound has been dressed up and Hajar was busy shooting at the soldiers approaching the shelter. Giving them a sign that they are still alive.
The combat lasted for three days and three nights. They took turns to get some rest and be on guard all the while. Their ammunition is becoming less and Khan's soldiers have surrounded their place but still afraid of getting nearer for the sake of their lives. Their food and water supply is also running low, seeing the situation Nabi begged Hajar to surrender and save her own life. "We will fight till the last bullet." She refused. "I would rather die beside you than surrender and be second wife to Khan's son. I will save two bullets, one for me and one for you if needed" Hajar continued pleading.
Nabi realised her bravery and he also felt that together, they are not afraid of death and it is much sweeter to die in each other's arms. They became aware of a group approaching the shelter, they started shooting
