The mirror shows a vaguely familiar reflection.

The visible and the invisible scars stare back at her.

A lone tear escapes from somewhere.

The giggles of her children breaks her reverie

Seeing him dote on the children makes her forget the ugliness, once again.

Some day her love would tame the monster inside him, too.

  1. Absolutely touching story. Sometimes, for the children, we give up our own hopes and hope for the best for them. Really good one Shilpa.

  2. Domestic violence and marital rape is an issue that needs to be addressed first in our country. It is sad that there are so many women out there who go through this.

  3. Sad and more commonly happening in homes than we think. I have been following your A-Z challenge so far. Must say that you have a subtle way to talk about important aspects of life. There is always a deeper essence to the story.

    For this story, Bravo!
