Meghna was wearing her clothes while listening to Vinod go on and on about the corruption in the country and false promises of the politicians while he was reading the newspaper. She wasn’t interested in participating in the conversation, Meghna and Vinod had just spent a beautiful night together after a lot of acute planning – she just wanted to enjoy the after-effects of it.
Vinod went on and on – “When will the world change, why can’t people just stop telling lies and be straight about who they are? Look what is happening in politics, Bollywood, cricket – there is lying and cheating everywhere.”
Just then Vinod’s phone rang and both of them just froze at their spot, just the look on his face told Meghna that it was Vinod’s wife (Prerna) calling.
Vinod’s tone changed now – “Hi Prerna darling! Of course I missed you, this important business trip made me travel otherwise I would have never left you and gone even for few hours. I had a great presentation last night, will be back home by evening, love you a lot.”
Adultery, lies and cheating have been so prevalent in today’s world… And they destroy everything that we value and treasure as marriage.

Yes, that’s what we see almost everywhere!
The hypocrisy of the human heart has reached its peak, its time to ponder upon – WHERE SHALL WE RUN FROM THE WRATH OF GOD?

What a story!!
Truth about how hypocritical many can be – pointing fingers at others without realising that there are few others turned selfwards. Enjoyed this short story!
