Sarah had always longed for a fairytale romance, complete with charming gestures and heartfelt conversations. When John asked her out to a church on a hilltop in Chennai, she was thrilled beyond measure. The ride up the winding road was filled with laughter and conversation, and Sarah couldn’t help but feel a tinge of attraction towards him.
As they reached the top of the hill, Sarah rolled down the window, enjoying the salty breeze of the sea blowing in. John caught her gaze and grinned. “You look stunning,” he said, making Sarah feel a flutter in her stomach.
As they entered the church, John took her hand and led her to a quiet spot. Sarah felt a sense of serenity wash over her as she listened to the soft whispers of prayers and hymns. She could feel John’s warm gaze on her, and as he leaned in to whisper something in her ear, she couldn’t help but feel her heart race.
As the sun set and darkness crept in, they headed to a rooftop restaurant. John pulled out her chair and placed a hand on her back, sending shivers down her spine. They laughed and chatted as they ate, and Sarah felt a growing attraction towards John with every passing moment.
As the night wore on, they moved to the dance floor, swaying to the music under the stars. Sarah felt John’s hand on the small of her back, leading her in the dance. She could feel the heat emanating from his body, and the subtle scent of his cologne made her feel a tingle of excitement.
As they walked to her car, John took her hand and leaned in closer. “I had a great time tonight,” he said, his voice low and intimate. Sarah felt a flush spread across her cheeks as she looked up at him. “Me too,” she said, feeling a sense of attraction and longing.
As she drove home, Sarah couldn’t stop thinking about John’s flirtatious touches and his warm gaze. She knew that she had experienced something magical and couldn’t wait to see where it would lead. As she lay in bed, replaying the moments of the evening in her head, she felt a sense of excitement and anticipation for what the future held. She knew that this was only the beginning of something beautiful, and she couldn’t wait to see where their story would lead.

The issue arose with the last name of the child. Mihal insisted her husband’s second name should be added as he had passed away when Sonu was in college.
Sonu and Roopa were all excited to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. It was even more special as they had just welcomed their bundle of joy in their lives. It is been just a week. Sonu’s mother Mihal wanted to have the naming ceremony as well on the same day.
While the preparations went on with inviting guests, booking the best event management team, and the buffet menu for the night, Mihal concentrated on the little one’s name. According to their family astrologer, they agreed on the name Sonia. Sonu was from Kolkata while Roopa was from South India. They followed all the religious rituals from both sides of the family and hence because of that their marriage took place without much hassle.
One of my friends told me that her husband criticized her for locking her phone, whereas the husband never allows her to touch his phone and locks it in the cupboard.
Early in the morning of May 23, 2023, around 6 a.m., I got a call from my cousin from abroad.
While speaking, he told me how he took care of me as a child. He might be two years older than me, but we studied together. So, calling him by name was not at all a problem for me. I was too sleepy as I went to sleep late the previous night.
While talking, he said, “We gave you freedom.” My eyes were sleepy, but the mini-me in me awakened me to reply to him, saying, “Freedom is not to be granted by others. It is to be lived by everyone. Men always think that they are the owners of freedom, and they control their mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters!”
