The single mom potted a plant every time she was on the verge of losing hope to the unfair world. The plants kept growing beautifully and never let her lose hope.

She was an excellent make-up artist who could make anyone look beautiful with her flawless make up.
I realised how good she was at her trade when I accidentally saw her without make up. Her face was full of scars inflicted by her ‘loving’ husband.
Make-up sure did wonders for her too.

“Do I look good?” He asked her, getting ready for the party.
“Yes”. She said.
“Do I look handsome?” He asked.

It was a secret chamber wherein, the dirty secrets were shoved off. Bhaiyya’s syringes, mom’s cigarette butts and Escitalopram tablet wrappers, dad’s photos with different aunties and used liquor bottles. The dustbin swallowed everything and he was very scared of it.
He had heard a rumour that the dustbin once swallowed his baby sister too.

“You find new horizons lying ahead”. He replied.
“I wonder how the other side of the shore looks like”. She sighed.
He gave her an atlas and said,”why don’t you find it yourself”.
That day her...
