A Mazed Heart

Preface

Darkness and hatred coiled and uncoiled around his heart. It deliberately slithered across his body making him restless until his eyes froze.

He had reckoned that nothing is unknown to him. But at that precise moment, it appeared to him that there was so much that he didn't know.

Darkness and hatred sneered back at him in a way of challenging him.

And now, it was time.

To walk out of the darkness and wake up to the gleam of reality.

He was shocked. How did things come down to this? He never knew.

He stared back - with so much regret - at all those opportunities when he could have taken action. If he had seized a step forward, then maybe, things would have been decent and more peaceful now. He was too irrational. His beloved ones were already trapped in the utmost danger.

It was too late. He couldn't do anything now, or

Could he?

Deep down, she knew she was fragile like a flower. But she wanted to prove to the world that she wasn't someone to be confined in a home.

But at some point in her life, time stopped and then - slowly and deliberately - the darkness started to embrace her. She never knew that she had been confined by darkness until now. She fell into a dilemma. What was she even doing with her life?

Then, she found herself listening to a low yet firm voice telling her from afar. The solution to all her problems.

But the solution was the only thing she had always tried to avoid. How could it be the answer to her problems? The only thing she reckoned she should stay away from, was now the solution to keep going?

****

He reached too far. There was no heading back now. He felt helpless and alone. No one seemed to be staying at his side. Whatever he yearned for up until now, couldn't able to reach him. But then, had he been craving for the wrong thing?

****

It was only a matter of a key reaching out to their soul.

When the key started unravelling their mazed heart, their heart stilled to be amazed.
