Years of being married yet same abuses and insults. The very things he once called virtues -her charm, intellect, unbridled laughter, unaffected behaviour were humiliating vices now!
She had tried walking-out but he would stalk her begging for mercy, another chance …for the sake of their daughter.
Empathising she tried to make him happy. Marital-rape and abuses followed. Life became a dump-yard of stinking filth.
Then, she planned a surprise-trip to Nainital where he ‘accidentally’ drowned to his death in Bhimtal! She hugged her daughter.
One day changed what years of patience and loving loyalty couldn’t. Life smiled with hope.
