Disgraceful Act

Story of Anjaili-

I cried in pain when Sameer slapped me after an argument. These were the moments I always dreaded. He was very angry but that didn't justify his act. I was shocked, angry, afraid and sad at the same time. I decided to just go away from there, go far far away from him. Decided to leave him forever this time.

I started walking aimlessly with tears in my eyes. There were so many things in my mind at the same time. All those incidents were flashing in front of my eyes when he had hit me since the first time I had asked him a simple question "Sameer, had you been to the bar??"

Didn't I have the right to ask my husband about his wherabouts? May be he didn't want to give me those rights, I felt.

I was still walking and suddenly saw Maria standing there for her client. It was late in the night and she was standing there on the street waiting for someone to pick her for their pleasure for the night. She had been my first friend after marriage but we were not on talking terms for the only reason that she was a prostitute now. The day when she told me that she was leaving her husband and would earn her living in this profession, I bid good bye to her. I didn't want a friend who was a prostitute just because she could not handle her husband's demeanor.

Today I realized why Maria was so firm. I decided to apologize to her for not being around in her tough times. Suddenly I saw Sameer walking towards Maria. Before I could actually accept the fact that it was my husband, I could hear him negotiating on the money that he will pay to Maria for the night.

"What do I do now? Where do I go? Should I go and ask Sameer the reason for what he was doing or should I just go away somewhere? If I go away, where should I go? What should I do to keep myself and my little child inside me alive? Should I also be a keep to other men. No how can I be so disgraceful. How can I spoil some other woman's life.". All these thoughts were firing in my mind.

Suddenly I calmed down and now there was nothing in my head because I knew what was I supposed to do.
