A Lucid Dream

A New Addition to the Family

In a small village called Rukhon, the Adamov family lived—Ahmad and Maya. One beautiful day, they welcomed a son. It happened early in the morning on July 15, 1959. They named him Ruslan.

After some time, the parents realized with horror that their son was blind. At first, no one noticed—his gaze was just like that of any other newborn. Days turned into weeks, the boy grew, but he did not react to light or follow movements.

"Why does he always stare at one spot?" Maya asked anxiously.

One day, a terrible realization gripped her heart.

"He… he's blind…" she whispered.

No one could comfort her. She wept, holding the baby close to her chest, while his motionless eyes remained serious and full of mystery.

At first, Ahmad and Maya were deeply distressed, but over time, they came to terms with it. Ahmad worked from morning till night, while Maya left her job to take care of their son.

Ruslan quickly learned to recognize his parents by their footsteps, voices, and subtle signs only he could perceive. He was active and curious, but over time, his blindness left its mark on him. Gradually, he became more withdrawn, often sitting in a corner with a frozen expression, as if listening intently to something.
