Courage

The lawyer showed the judge her earlier snaps. A beautiful and confident young lady the snaps portrayed. The girl in the snap was standing in front of him.
Speechless she stood. They spoke everything. The Cuts on her hands. The Bruises on her beautiful slender frame
Uneven blemish and white complexion.The Swelling under her eyes. Burnt cigarette marks on her face
She dint needed any proof to prove she was a victim of domestic violence.
Thought of ending this suffering penetrated her mind the day when he slapped her repeatedly for throwing his wine bottles. She was always conquered with fear. It took her a while to realize:
“You don’t need people, arms, ammunition in battle of life
but you need hell lot of courage to stand against the wrong”

“May I” he asked. She nodded.
Soon they were on the dance floor. Nature too wanted them together they thought, hence even the sky tinted itself with purple hues similar to the couples outfit.
They were enjoying salsa moves. Her fiery turn, his soothing hold. Her loud expression his calm variations. Complementing each other with every step and every move.
With a sharp inner turn she lost her balance and slipped, from stilettoes to ground.
He lifted her up by holding her in his arms. Completed the turn and tried ending up their performance perfectly. Everyone around applauded…
Falling is part of journey.. But re-rising and shining again together is what life is..

Her stilettoes lay somewhere on dance floor.. with no regrets of falling.. but embellished with love more than ever… a bond stronger more than ever..

“The Dance was incomplete but their Life wasn’t.”
