|| Prologue ||
It was a dark night I didn't know where was I going. I just wanted to come out of this darkness which was frightening me. I did not know if it was my end but I was happy at least, for the freedom that I will be able to get, which I never got.
"God if you ever had listened to my prayers then please let my mother stay happy". At this moment I want to forget everything and let this darkness welcome me. I was half awake or I was imagining things. In this darkness I saw those mesmerizing red eyes which were staring at me, intentionally from the darkness of the tree. It felt as if it had seen me through my heart and soul.
That was the last thing which I remembered before darkness consumed me. I felt someone carrying me after that, was it heaven? That moment was peaceful that I never felt in my entire life.
