Broken but beautiful💔

Aman reaches his mother's village. It's the first time he is visiting the place. He doesn't remember anything about his mother.

Standing in front of the gate of his mother's home, his heart pounded within the cage.

He enters the premises and then walks to the small outhouse where the gatekeeper was sitting .

Introducing himself as the new driver, he smiles at the man.

Aman knows that it's not easy for him to suddenly walk into his mother's life and introduce himself as her son.

Moreover the families don't share a peaceful relationship. He just wanted to reach his mother without any complication and hindrance. That's when he researched about her current life situation.

It took 5 months for him to workout his plan to stay close to his mother.

2 Days passed

Aman got a glimpse of his mother for the first time. He couldn't control his emotions when he recognised that the woman in front of his eyes is exactly similar to the one in the photo.

Before coming to the village, he just had her photo that was most probably taken before 18 or 19 years.

That day, he didn't get the opportunity to talk to her. She was accompanied by her husband.

Aman felt that his mother had some sort of problem but he brushed it off when he saw her laughing her heart out with his half siblings in their backyard. He couldn't help but feel sad that she can't be the same with him.

One month passed

Aman stopped himself from going to her and venting out his emotions. That's because he was afraid to ruin his mother's life which was going on smoothly.

In the past one month, he noticed that her husband is an arrogant man. Shaoib used to blatantly disrespect the staff and treat them like low-life.

Sometimes he feared for his mother's safety and was curious to know whether she is happy with her husband.

One day he got a call from his grandmother who was ill. She wanted to meet him but he refused to leave his mother. He lost his respect for his paternal family the moment he got to know that they conveniently spread gossip about his mother to taint her character and throw her off his father's life. From a young age, he was always exposed to the stories related to his mother who eloped with her lover. But now the truth is in front of him.

His aunt told him how the family knew that it was a kidnapping and they kept his father unaware of it. They misguided his father and instigated him against his mother after he came back home from the business trip. She told him how his mother was left naked in front of his father's house and that she was mercilessly attacked by his uncles later. She was ashamed of herself that she turned a blind eye when she got to know about her husband's deeds and kept it to herself so as to safeguard her married life.

"Aman, would you please drive for sahab today. I want to go home early. My daughter is unwell." Shaoib's driver asked Aman

Aman said okay and enquired about the address of the place where he should take shaoib. The driver paused for a moment and then told the route. His change of expression was noticeable.

"What happened?"

"Nothing Aman. But you shouldn't ask any unwanted questions to sahab. Keep a distance from him. He has a short temper."

Aman didn't ask anything anymore.

After sometime, the driver leaves for his home and Aman drives off with Shaoib.

It was a Saturday.

They reached the place around 8 at night.

Shaoib came out of the car and then instructed Aman to reach the place next day morning.

Aman felt something was wrong. Suddenly his eyes struck at the woman standing on the doorstep of the house and she gives a warm hug to shaoib as he came closer to her.

He connected the dots and was shocked to find that Shaoib has an affair with the lady.

Anger bubbled up in his heart and he felt bad for his mother. He thought about informing her about her husband's infidelity. But then he realised that she doesn't have any other option than to stay with him.
