đź“– Words That Always Turn Into Wounds
Episode 6: The Weight of Truth
---
The silence of the night was saying something too.
Aaniya stepped out of her dark room into the open balcony.
The wind was blowing fast —
as if it was part of the storm inside her.
Was everything truly over?
Or had the real journey just begun?
---
> "When I speak the truth...
People say I'm too sharp with my words.
If I lie...
They say I'm a 'decent girl'…
So what am I supposed to do?"
Aaniya asked herself.
She asked the same question every day.
To the world, her truth was just an accusation.
And her silence — a confession.
---
People were pointing fingers at her.
Some said:
> "Her marriage failed, there must be something wrong with her."
Others said:
> "It's a woman's job to keep the home together…
So what's there to grieve?"
And some… just stayed silent,
but their silence questioned her very existence.
---
> "But was I really wrong?"
Her heart screamed.
"I only spoke the truth —
with my heart, with my eyes, with my life."
But this world doesn't like truth.
It finds comfort in lies.
---
In every relationship,
she had carried the burden of expectations.
Every time, she had to prove
that she wasn't a 'bad wife.'
But every piece of evidence…
turned against her.
Now people were investigating her
as if her existence itself was a crime.
---
She looked up at the sky.
Even the moon seemed drowned in sadness tonight.
> "I don't care anymore,"
she whispered,
"I've been alone for a long time anyway."
---
Tring… Tring…
Her phone lit up.
The name on the screen: Suleman
For a moment, Aaniya hesitated.
Should she answer?
Then she told herself:
> "Maybe not everyone has bad intentions…"
She picked up the call.
> "Hello?"
Suleman's voice had the same calm in it.
> "Just wanted to ask...
How does tonight feel, Miss Aaniya?"
---
Aaniya looked silently at the sky.
And for the first time…
with tears in her eyes, there was a faint smile too.
> "Peaceful… a little strange as well."
