Her eyes sparkled , as she proceeded towards the railway track .
It sparkled with tears as she fought her thoughts on reasons to live .

Mary turned back and asked " Give me one reason to live? ".
Archana replied " If you leave us, that man will eat us alive! Only you can save us! Only you can fight back . If there is one person to take control its you and you only!
