The room was unusually quiet and dark, she then started to remember those days, when she was afraid of the dark and only at that time, she recalled her mother and the days, when she was just a kid, how she used to ask each and every elder person, that why only she doesn’t have a mother. She then mumbled in a low voice to herself, ‘Isn’t this ironic mother, now I don’t get afraid of the dark anymore but now I am afraid of that person, who is darker than the dark.
