The promise…



It had stopped raining a while ago. She looked at the tear-stained glass door of the coffee shop where they had a long standing meeting.

He was standing at the mouth of an alleyway, watching her nervously sip her coffee and look at the door with every sound of a customer coming in. It had been a year since they said they would meet at the coffee shop when they were finally free from their burdens.

She no longer wore the customary vermillion or her wedding bangles.

He walked home silently, with drooping shoulders, moist eyes and a box of diapers in his bag.
