Half widow

As they together stepped out of the office , someone pointed “Hey , Our HR manager makes a sweet couple ”

” O ..No…No they are not couple , , Roma Mam is a widow, rather Half Widow ”

“Half Widow ???? What does it mean ?? Who is that man ??Whose hand is she holding ????”

****

Ten years ago

Roma’s husband Rajiv was continually facing failures at work . That day when his bad luck hit him once again in the job interview , it might had become unbearable for him. In the evening , Rajiv went for routine walk but just didn’t come back. Lots of search in different cities & on social media , police complaints , but no clue at all . Rajiv just disappeared from Roma’s life . Is he even alive ? Nobody knows.

****

So many years have passed . People started calling Roma as Half Widow.

Roma had to struggle but she strengthened herself too and reached the position of the HR manager of the company.

Today , Even when she has to say NO to any job interviewee, she makes it a point to bid him bye smilingly and hold his hand convincingly , hoping that no other soul diappears so strangely from anybody’s life .

Linking it with Tina for #fridayfotofiction

Note : I came to know of an upcoming movie to be released in March 2018. The movie is named ‘Half Widow ‘ and it’s about women empowerment. I enjoyed writing for #fridayfotofiction after a long gap , with my mind taking ‘Half widow’ as a prompt.

A letter to my Kitchen

Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly . Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene .
