HER STORY





Sangay was going through a rough time in life. His personal life was messed up. Nothing was working out well as expected. His lover turned wife and he had been having family problems for the past one year. Sangay was trying his best to compromise and sort out things until nothing seemed right except a divorce.

With a heavy heart he agreed to give divorce to his wife. He was willing to give his wife up but not his one-year-old son. His wife hated him and his family more than anything. All he could do was give her a divorce on the condition that he could meet his son whenever he wanted.

Nothing seemed normal after a divorce. He missed the warmth of her body in winter. He missed everything about his mostly his son. He resorted to addiction of alcohol and cigarettes. These were the only things that seem to make him feel lighter and forget the troubles of life.

Every night he emptied bottles of alcohol and packets of smokes, during the day he tried to do best at work.

It was at work that everyone tried to be extra nice to him because everyone knew what he was going through. He enjoyed the company of a particular friend from work, Tshering. Tshering was a friend of Sangay. They were working together for the past four years and they we good friends. Tshering’s life at the moment was the opposite of Sangays life. She had a perfect life with happiness all around her. Her boyfriend always kept her happy although there were a few times when he upset her.

Tshering always felt bad for Sangay because she knew he deserved happiness live anyone of us and tried her best to give him small happiness when every possible.

Never did she realise that the little happiness she gave him meant a lot to him until a day came when he proposed to her. For once she was confused. She always knew this was coming but had never thought of how she would deal with it. She had a steady boyfriend and could not afford to break his heart. After taking two months she decided to leave her boyfriend and be with Sangay. She had her own reasons. Her boyfriend could start over with anyone but it would not be the same for Sangay. Everyone deserved a second chance and she decided to give him the second chance.

Sangay's world changed after that. He was a changed person and always happy.

Things were going smooth and Sangay had all the time in the world for Tshering. He kept his time for his son too. But every time Sangay talked about his ex-wife Tshering always felt insecure.

He had a child that connected him to her even though he no longer loved her. Every time he went to meet his son Tshering was always insecure. Sangay had talked about getting married with Tshering but after she accepted him in her life the talks never materialized. He had a fear that if he married his ex-wife would not let him meet his son. Tshering had that fear too. But both of them knew there was no point holding back.

Tshering, sometimes felt that Sangay's son would grow up to hate her and she hated that thought. She had nights which were sleepless because of her thoughts. She had thoughts that sometimes would want to make her run away from life but at times they were so lovely she wanted it to last forever.

After two years of relationship they finally decided to tie the knot.

Getting married is every girls dream but Tshering was getting more than she dreamt, she was getting married to a divorced man with a child.
