As the insults rain down, Muzammil begins to withdraw into himself, retreating into the sanctuary of his own thoughts. In the silence of his mind, he dreams of a different life—one where his worth is not measured by the chores he completes or the insults he endures. The fleeting moments of peace he finds within himself become his only refuge, a temporary escape from the storm that rages outside.
But with each passing day, Muzammil’s sense of self-worth grows more fragile, as if the weight of the world is pressing down on him, threatening to crush him completely. The endless cycle of abuse begins to erode his spirit, and doubt creeps in like an insidious poison, clouding his thoughts. Is there any way out? Is there any escape from this suffocating existence?
Then, in the dead of night, as he lies awake staring at the ceiling, a single question echoes in his mind: Will I ever be more than this? The darkness around him seems to swallow the question whole, but it lingers, persistent and unwavering. In the silence of the night, Muzammil’s yearning for something greater burns brighter than ever before.
And yet, despite the ever-present despair, a glimmer of something more stirs within him. A quiet resolve, as fragile as it may be, flickers in his heart. Muzammil knows that if he is ever to escape this torment, it will not be through the approval of those who seek to break him. It will come from within—through the strength he has yet to fully discover in the depths of his soul.
