Yet, despite the overwhelming odds, Muzammil continues, a shadow of his former self but still standing, still enduring. It is the silent defiance within him, the stubborn refusal to let the world define him, that keeps him going. There is no escape for him in the immediate future—no sudden miracle that will lift him out of his misery. But there is a quiet strength that burns deep within him, a fire that refuses to be extinguished by the harsh winds of injustice. He endures not because he has no other choice, but because he believes, against all reason, that one day, somehow, his suffering will end.

And so he waits. Each day that passes feels like a year, each hour stretching into eternity. But even in this endless night, a glimmer of something more remains. It is a small thing—almost imperceptible—but it is there: the belief that he is more than the cruel role that fate has forced upon him. Muzammil knows that there is something greater within him, something that cannot be crushed by his aunt’s scorn or the endless weight of his labor. And with each day that he survives, that glimmer of hope grows stronger, burning brighter in the depths of his heart, waiting for the moment when it will finally burst into a light that no one can extinguish.
