Chapter 27:

"Mahi?" I heard Riyaan's voice echo outside the door of my room while I sat crouched up in a corner of my room close to the wall. I've been here most of the time since the past few days. Sometimes I'd lose consciousness, while sometimes I used to stay up all night. Fear and exhaustion had all of me. I had drowned in darkness to a depth so unfathomable that I didn't even feel the urge to get out of it anymore. Especially after what had happened eight days ago.
