Masterstroke
My father believed that I would never make it big in life.
My mother never said anything but her silence said a lot.
Relatives and friends had trouble suppressing their smirks in my presence.
Ha! How much I’d love to see the look on their faces when they see me living in the lap of luxury…
And on television, today, as India’s Most Wanted!
This post is a part of Write Over the Weekend, an initiative for Indian Bloggers by BlogAdda. This time the entry must word Love and just 5 sentences to complete a story.
Linking it to January 2014 Ultimate Blog Challenge and NaBloPoMo

Interesting… nothing mushy, no lover murdered, no one pining… just a lot of misplaced ego of a criminal! Good one.
