Darkness took over everything. It was time, the time she would sit and wait for the sun to rise.

The reason was unsaid, undiscovered. There was something hidden, hidden beneath her sunup smile and beneath her bawling eyes....

Sahir Arhaan Ahmed, the keeper of Rhysling Award and several other honours for excellence in poetry.

I enamour poetry. It lives in my heart and in every drop of blood that travels through my veins.

My poetry is said to be unique, one of its kind and it is because I work to make it one of its kind. I globetrot until I discover a perfect plot and then I bide to divulge hidden secrets. My verses are not about how beautiful the earth is or how cruel earthly beings are, I write a thousand words which be the evidence of a beautiful tale.

Presently, I work as an intern in a mental health center. Sounds funny right? I be where my destiny takes me and my locked treasures are buried in someone's heart which I have to unbolt.

Whenever I'm in search of a story or my verses are in progress, I introduce myself as Arhaan Ahmed. Though most people are not so engrossed in poetry to remember a poet's name but I prefer to be vigilant.

Miss Suha Ahd, my protagonist. I could never thank Allah enough for making me run into her. She studies psychology and carries out psychological research here and I study her.

Every night she comes out of her dorm and sits in a corner of the veranda with some papers in her manus and weeps till dawn. I stand helplessly on the opposite veranda till she wipes the tears off her countenance and forces a smile while she rises to her feet.

Those papers are my keys to unlock the mystery of her tears but for that I'll have to get closer to her and her troubles.

The heart of the story remains obscured, little known and lot unknown.
