Chapter 1

Prologue

************

I have always feared the darkness

Yet I have always embraced this darkness

Though no hope of light anywhere

Yet I feel safe in this darkness

There is no air for me to breathe

I feel suffocated unable to breathe

There is no hope of air anywhere

Yet this suffocation let me breathe

I dare not break this wall

The wall of dark and suffocation

I dare not go to feel the light

I dare not go breathe the air

The world outside is a jungle for me

Where humans wait in face of animals wild

Hungry and wild animals they are

Waiting for me as a prey of theirs

I come out and they feed on me.

I know the room you are in is dark,

The air in it suffocates you

But as you are alive there

Then believe in a small hole there

The hole in it, yes the hole in it

This room has small hole in it

The hole of small light and air

A hole of hope, yes it is there

Don't lose hope, don't lose hope

Find the hole of your hope

In this very dark room, find the hole of your hope

Catch the ray of hope, the light from that hole

There you will find me with my hands stretched,

Stretch your hands with this small hole

My hands are stretched to catch your hands stretched

Suffocation and darkness will go,

When from the hole of hope, your hands are stretched.

Hi everyone,

I know the poem is not that great, as I never consider myself a Mahan poet, but still, these words are just brought together to give you the concept of the story.

I want to let you all know beforehand, this story is about girls who are weak. I mean, they have never learned to be strong; they have been taught to accept what they are told. We love to see strong girls in stories, but what about girls who are weak and the circumstances they were brought up in that made them such?

How should one come up with a helping hand for such girls? We don't need to be social workers, but a small helping hand whenever we can can make a big difference.

That said, this story is also a complete Maaneet story and full of Maaneet.

I won't do much rambling and bore you all.

So, no complaints about Geet being a weak girl because that is the main theme of this story.
