To the people, Leila is a blind girl. The light she used to see has turned into darkness. Her room, as everything else in her new world, has one color: black.The colors disappeared from the dictionary of her sight. All colors are one color: black with no white.
But Leila does not see herself as a blind girl. She knows her way in life, and she walks alone without help from anyone. “There are eyes inside our hearts, but only few people use them,” is what she would always tell people when they ask her, “how does she see her way?”
“A lot of people think that we see with the holes that are on our faces. Those are only windows through which our hearts see the world and the people. But because people are ignorant of themselves, they think that it is the window that sees, not the person behind the window,” she adds.
The only person who understands her is her mother. Her mother knows that her daughter has more than eyes. She sees the world with her heart and this makes her see with her mind too, because she sees what we do not see.
