Echoes of the dark, the silence of the night grows louder than Sameer’s footsteps. A labyrinth of mystery buries the shell of a strange, timeworn silence; overdosing on the moth-eaten secrets of past. A war is being fought within Haya since many years – like a mannequin which screams the blares of pain, inaudible to any ear. She is a question which grates the crust of Sameer’s curiosity and haunts every notion of peace, in his quest to pull her out of the hollow endless sphere of darkness.
