With an aching heart, the judge looked at the young couple seated before him.
Lost love.
Broken trust.
That could never help them in reconciliation….
He looked at the young girl, who had sealed her lips tight, and at her husband, who seemed determined to get out of the relationship at any cost.
He sighed, as he awarded the divorce and signed the papers.
He thought of the day she had argued with him to marry the man of her choice.
Now she was fighting for freedom from the same relationship.
And his daughter had won her case, yet again !

A wonderful story I must say and the judge being her father, what a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteHow poignant that the dad and the judge turn out to be the same person. How difficult it must have been for him in both roles. Well executed, Sreeja :)

ReplyDeleteJudge prevail over father.
ReplyDeleteSuch an emotional upheaval in few words
ReplyDeleteI like your writing style!
ReplyDeleteOh :( What an irony !! And how sad it is for a father to handle his child's divorce case :(
ReplyDeleteDidnt see it coming, nice twist, Sreeja! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was cool...what an irony!
ReplyDeleteI salute the dad. Nicely penned story.
ReplyDeletetwo things.... one i loved how u connected the agony of a father in both situations a wedding and a divorce, to that of a judge who can merely pass the judgement..... only they happen to be the same person is even more ironic..... superb!!
ReplyDeleteand second, did u notice that ur story theme for D and this happen to be on the same wavelength? again.... superb!!
Dual dilemma for dad. Wow , you put it across so well.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the story line and the twist in the end.
Loved the twist you brought.Facts of life!!
ReplyDeletetwist in the end, hurting it must have been for the father!
ReplyDeleteI loved the way you narrated the story. Beautiful yet so sad.
ReplyDeleteDivorce is now a very common trait. Ego being the main conspirator.
ReplyDeleteIt aches.. for the dad alone :(
ReplyDeletepoint made by Shanmuga ... the true heartbreak would be the dad's losing both ways.
