Dark Secret

We had a secret that no one had yet discovered, because mom and I always wear a smile on our faces. But today I had to reveal it to Vishal!

It was quite daunting to recall that traumatic experience. I was 10 years old when my step father sexually abused me in mom's absence.

Leaving everything behind, mom and I came to Mumbai. Built our life all over again.

After a few moments of silence, Vishal said, "My love and respect for you has only increased. I am asking again, will you marry me?". Tears of joy in my eyes.
