"Destiny" they called it.
"Like Mother, Like Daughter" others sighed. But all Latika felt was lightness
as she signed those divorce-papers.
Well who was she to argue with destiny... She was just glad her "Destiny" didn’t include putting-up a facade of a "Happy-Married-Life" even as she suffocated within its walls...
There was no way we could let our blogs just sit and rot, while we blamed everyone but ourselves for not writing. Deciding to put an end to the hiatus on writing, me and Ishithaa have decided to write on every day of November on alternate days. Today if the post is on my page, tomorrow it will be on hers.....
That was smart of her to choose not to compromise. Destiny is what we make of life! Well written.
ReplyDeleteLiving a lie is more painful than the uncomfortable truth, glad to see her make the right choice.
ReplyDeleteShe must feel so free!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful take on the prompt.. a good message too!
ReplyDeleteI wanna use the pic in that prompt but I have no idea yet how :D
True...the latter would have been worse!
ReplyDeleteOh what a glorious destiny she must have felt to be free from a trapped, suffocating marriage. ;) <3
ReplyDeletehow wonderful and free she must have felt!
ReplyDeletenicely done for the prompt Meena! :)
That is a powerful post!! What perfect emotions!! Good going!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use the prompts! Suffocated is just the appropriate word for such a predicament.
ReplyDeletePretending to be happy is always worse. Now, she is free to be actually happy.
ReplyDeleteA smart choice!
ReplyDeleteI am still thinking on which of the three prompts I choose!
It is always better to choose happiness. You only get one life. There is no reason to wallow in misery.
ReplyDeletewhat happened to my comment? :-/
ReplyDeleteIt is no life to feel suffocated. One must fly free and be happy. Life is too short not to.
