There was no trace of shame on his face.
She’d expected him to be weighed down with remorse.
“He will die of guilt when he knows this,” she’d thought.
But his indifference surprised her.
Even though the crowd disturbed him, he maintained his composure perfectly.
She knew it now ; he hadn’t been affected the way she’d expected him to be.
She regretted the thoughtlessness behind her actions.
She saw him cover the body with a white cloth.
She wished she knew then , what she knew now.

Breach of trust and maligning a pious relationship is the most heinous crime , but one should survive to expose them

DeleteOMG! That's shocking and so tragic too!! Once a crook, always a crook, is apt for him! :(
ReplyDeleteYes, Crook , he is :(

Disturbing situation for the purest of pure relationship...
ReplyDeleteYes, purest of pure, and such venom in that !
DeleteOh God, that was tragic. How could a father do this to a daughter!!
ReplyDeleteThere are fathers of this kind these days, dear. Tragic :(
Deletetragic indeed.. loved the concept of thought process by dead.. something new..
ReplyDeleteYes, that was the intended point of view. Thanks for reading , Archana :)
DeleteReminds me of the Silence story I wrote in April. So many such cases. It’s a sad but cold and cruel fact. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYes, similar veins, this one. Cold, and cruel, indeed !

DeleteSad & shocking story, Sreeja. Reality for some.. Nicely expressed.
ReplyDeleteYes, true, Anita . Reality for some ! Thanks a lot !
Deleteoh dat was shocking!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it :(
DeleteThanks, Swathi !
I missed the last line (below the picture), so I was puzzled at first.
ReplyDeleteA man who has raped his own daughter has a dead conscience, so I'm not surprised he didn't change. But I guess she was under tremendous mental turmoil when she decided to commit suicide.
That's true, Pro. I wonder whether he had a conscience at all ! Yes, she must have been. Understandably.
DeleteLeft me sad and angry at such loathsome characters
ReplyDeleteLoathsome, very true, KP sir !
DeleteAs sad as the subject is, Sreeja - you did a fab job of writing it!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for those nice words, Corinne :)
Deletewhat a thoughtful take...i loved the concept of this post. Most girls either keep waiting endlessly for their abusers to have a change of heart or commit suicide in a hope that it will jolt them and they will understand and realize their sin. But nothing can purify a cobra of its venom.
ReplyDeleteSreeja,
ReplyDeleteThe last 2 blogs i read from you, have been in the league of hitting reality (mostly watched in Bala's/Vasanthabalan's screenplay - from Tamil films of the last decade) expressed with utmost skill!
Know not what to say!
Great!
Thanks!
