The Truth

She was inconsolable. Her eyes were all swollen… red, but the tears were just flowing…

Memories flashed in front of her as she lay alone that night.

He was the best… the best husband, the best friend, the best lover and the best actor… and only she knew him best.

He had to be disposed.

  4. @ Vipul: Why the confusion?

    Was he unfaithful…May be, coz only she knew him best.

    I guess, focus on ‘the best actor’..you will get a different thought.

    What do you think now?? 😀

  5. hi shilpa..

    it is good..
    But i got confused in the end!!
    he cheated her??
    disposed in what sense??

  6. “”He was the best… the best husband, the best friend, the best lover and the best ACTOR… and only she knew him best””

    Confusion ends with “actor”.

    This is a Masterpiece!!!!

    To paraphrase one of my recent post titles:–

    “”The Shilpa’s Masterpiece!!””

  7. yeah ofcourse i noticd the BEST ACTOR nd it made things clear uptill tht point.. bt sumhow d last wrd DISPOSED totally changed the meaning of d whole story. I mean it is this wrd which confused me 🙁
