Short Story - Living Your True Life

Aditi loved him deeply and so did Anil. But she wanted other things too. But pursuing them was hard as it would put their relationship in jeopardy or so she thought.

Whenever Aditi expressed her desire for something, Anil would put her down saying, it would affect their relationship. It kept her confined and stopped her from fulfilling her potential. Yet, she said nothing.

Over time, Anil felt as if he was the sole decision-maker in their relationship. Whether it was a decision about choosing a restaurant to eat or picking a holiday destination, it was he who made them. This affected her confidence and lowered her self-esteem.

One day, her friend Shikha visited her. She noticed these patterns and told her about them. At first, she didn’t believe her, but with time, she began to notice them herself.

Just to be sure, she looked around the house. She noticed that most of the things that they bought were chosen by him not her. She checked out the latest pictures from their holiday. It was he who wanted to visit that place.

The realization hit her hard. She felt as if she had no voice. She decided to do something about it. The next day, she confronted him. She told him how she felt, yet again Anil didn’t take her seriously and stepped out of the house to meet his friends.

This came as a huge shock to her. She realized
that this relationship is preventing her from living her true life and the only way to be free was to leave him.

The next day, she packed her bags, asked her friend if she could stay at her place. She left him a text that she is breaking up, and walked out the door with a smile on her face.
