Dear Kavita:

What does “ko samjane” mean?

You asked what type of pain I am facing. Well, at the moment, perhaps I am facing the pain of lost hopes and dreams, hopes and dreams such as that my mother will be happy some day, that she wil live a happy life, finally. That she will be happy with me and let me live.

I just let my words flow above, “let me live”, I wrote. That is the old pain of imprisonment, being imprisoned by her pain and seeing my only hope of freedom in her being happy one day.
