' Why I shouldn't ' Sandhya shouted at the top of her lungs. 

' All my life I had been told I shouldn't do this, that, and shit I kept asking why I shouldn't? bloody I want an answer that "why I shouldn't"
Why I shouldn't talk back to my parents? why I shouldn't shout? why I shouldn't wear short skirts? why i shouldn't talk about my periods out loud? why i shouldn't refuse to do household chores ? why i shouldn't stay single ? why i shouldn't say no to sex when my husband asks for it? why i shouldn't apply for divorce? Why i shouldn't hug my own brother? 

Tell me why i should not ?' Sandhya shouted in frustration and started to cry. 

Her voice resonated inside the car. 

Rajiv (her husband) remained silent after seeing her vulnerable side. He is the sole reason for her outbreak. he said, " you shouldn't write journals against men". She listened to all his orders for the years but this made her go mad. 

She is a dedicated and passionate woman in her career. She always writes the thing which has to be told out loud to society.
She has written about the domestic violence happening in the houses for the kids and women. 

She had grown up in a middle class where they only insisted on what she shouldn't do.

Hearing all those kinds of stuff for years made her a feminist.

A feminist who hates men, who think that every man in the society tries to dominate women.
It's no fault in her, the atmosphere where she had grown up made her into this.

She was forced to get married to Rajiv.
And unfortunately, he turned out to be the monster of her life.
She had been tortured by Rajiv both physically and mentally. When she decided to apply for divorce, all she received was
'adjust dear he is after all your husband' society didn't allow her to apply for a divorce.

Sandhya wiped her tears and looked up straight into Rajiv. 

' Tell me why I shouldn't write journals against those toxic men in the society' he remained silent but all she received was a tight slap on her soft cheeks. It's not a new thing for Sandhya, she had been getting this reward whenever she raised questions against him. 

But this time Rajiv received his reward back!  

That night she was beaten up brutally. but little did the monster know it's going to be his last night. 

A month later, 

"The popular journalist has sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering her husband" headlines of the newspaper read.

' No my mumma doesn't deserve this ' sitting in the lap of his grandfather, her 6 years little lad wiped his tears.
