sitting in the lounge hearing the announcement to board, she got up

instead she ran in the opposite direction, down the stairs and out

“I am young! I deserve more!!!”

running out,  voices in her head overcame

CRASH!!!!!!

people gathered  as she breathed her last,  

she smiled embracing her long awaited freedom…..

waited all weekend with cell phone in one hand, book in the other, converting time zones and predicting his call.

Aa says: so did u “try” to call me over the weekend

He says: i didnt feel like it, need some peace of mind

yet another tear rolled down her stained cheek.

Again this year she pulled out her first aid kit and started wiping her husbands wounds crying and pleeding him to stop this self mutilation in the name of religion. She wiped her tears like the blood before and was about to put the kit away when he said, “Ama” and she felt his pain.
