Breaking the walls

Writer: Shruti Sinha

As I walked down the road, I felt beads of sweat forming on my forehead. I couldn’t tell if it was the scorching heat or an unfamiliar fear that gripped me. My saree made a swishing sound with each step. I wanted to hurry up my steps but my saree pallu dragged me as it flew in the air as if it wanted me to slow down and enjoy my stepping into a free world where I could be free as a woman.

This short story was written by our own sweet writer Shruti Sinha. She had left this an incomplete one. We took it upon ourselves to take it to the conclusion. Shruti, if you are reading this, please come back. The readers of ICN are waiting for your beautiful stories.

परियों की कहानियाँ सुनी है कभी? अकसर उन कहानियों में छोटी सी उम्र की लड़की – एक प्यारी परी से कम नहीं होती है। पर बड़ी होने के बाद उन परियों का क्या होता है? क्या वह तब भी उतनी ही प्यारी होती है? क्या उनकी मासूमियत बड़ी होने के बाद भी उतनी ही बनी रहती है?

आज का दिन
उस बड़े से शहर की भीड़ में किसी और दिन की तरह जीवन चल रहा था। लोग अपने काम पर जा रहे थे। चमचमाती दुकानें अब तक पूरी तरह खुली न थी। और सड़क पर से एक टैक्सी बढ़ रही थी। लोग अपनी दिनचर्या में इस बात से बिल्कुल अनजान थे कि उस टैक्सी में जा रही लड़की कौन थी और उसकी कहानी क्या थी। यदि जानते तो वो उस लड़की को इस तरह अकेला न छोड़ पाते। इस दुनिया में हम सब एक दूसरे के इतने करीब होते हुए भी कितने अनजान होते है। और ये कहानी भी कुछ ऐसी ही थी … करीब होते हुए भी एक दूरी की।

A MICRO STORY

Continued from Part 1

Straight from the heart

“Thank you for the delicious lunch, Mommy ❤❤”

That was the text from my wife that I read after my meeting in the office.

“I am glad you liked it.”, I replied.

“You know I can get used to lunch cooked by you. 😋”, she texted back.

“You wish! How is your day going?”

“Pretty busy. I will be really late tonight. 🙁”

“Not again. 🥺”, I texted.

“Listen… you will have to cook dinner tonight.”

“Come on. You know I don’t like to cook alone. I am happy to assist when you cook.”

“Sorry. I have a lot of work today. If it makes you feel any better, you can wear the same saree you wore this morning while you cook.”, she texted back.

“Alright, I will cook. You know you are taking advantage of me.”

“Yeah .. right. 😏”, she text backed with a smiley.

A MICRO STORY

Straight from the heart

I just came back from office. As I was about to remove my shoes, my two kids – 8 year old daughter and 5 year old son – came to me with their puppy eyes. I have been a father long enough to know what those innocent eyes meant – they have done some mischief and they want me to protect them from their mom.

“So, what did you tell your Principal madam when she asked you to call your father?”, I asked.

“Dad, we told her that you are on an office tour and gone out of the city.”, my daughter said with the most innocent voice she could manage.

“And why did you say that?”

“Because … it was not a big thing, Dad. So, we didn’t want to bother you.”, she said after some thought.

“Hmm… so what did the Principal say after that?”

“She said that she wants our mom to come to the school tomorrow.”, my young son said with a frown on his face.

“Good. So, your mom will come with you tomorrow.”, I said.

“But dad …”, they both said in unison. I know that these two were really afraid of their mother. If she comes to know about this, it is guaranteed that they will get scolding from her.

लेखिका: श्रुति सिन्हा

आप सभी ने जो संजु की इस कहानी को प्यार दिया उसके लिए मैं शब्दों मे कह नहीं सकती कि मैं कितनी आभारी हूँ। इतने प्यार के बाद भी मैंने आप सभी को इतना लंबा इंतज़ार कराया इसलिए क्षमा भी मांगती हूँ। कुछ दिनों पहले प्रकाशित झलक को आगे बढ़ाते हुए इस कहानी के इस भाग में मैंने ९००० से अधिक शब्दों में संजु की भावनाओं को उकेरने का प्रयास किया है। यदि कोई कमी रह जाए तो क्षमा करिएगा और जरूर बताइएगा कि मैं उसमे सुधार कैसे कर सकती हूँ।
