The Chosen One


Alia looked at her husband, sleeping peacefully on their bed, and thought of her lover waiting downstairs. She then looked at the framed picture on the wall where her family posed happily around them at their wedding. She put back her luggage in the closet, switched her phone off and tucked herself under the blanket.

  4. Ouch............this is what I am scared of. The thought of taking decisions while confined in the shackles of the society and then later living a life full of regrets.
    This was painful!

  7. I don't know if this made me happy or sad. She chose her family, nice. But she also chose an unhappy life even when she had an option of walking away. That's bad.
    Soumya, how can you manage to wrap up a whole story in less than 55 words is beyond me. Kudos to you. *hugs*

  8. It is not easy to walk away. It is impossible to forget. It was a dilemma for her, which she conveniently tucked under the blanket!

    As for the story. I am scared of these types of situations. Regrets. :(

    1. Thank you dear, will try to create one with more pictures soon :)

      Regrets and living in denial. Unfortunately some women choose this as a way of life.
