@rethink, @aajo: I'm really glad that you enjoyed my story. Thank you so much. 

@fortunefaded: Wow, Thank you so much! That was exactly the kind of critique I was looking forward to when I posted this thing. Thanks for taking your time to dissect, analyze, and provide me such a healthy feedback of my effort. 
I do realize the grammatical mistake, and am going to immediately place the poor discriminated comma in its rightful place.
I do acknowledge the fact the story is quite predictable, I'd definitely try to tweak and twist my imagination when I think of a plot from now on. 
Finally, about the conclusion, in my defense I'd say, "That's what she said!" :). On a serious note, the protagonist thought that if only she could forget what she has done, she won't have to suffer as much. Like the society, like any individual, and like your take on my story, she's not perfect, her thinking isn't always right, it's not always wrong either. And that was what I was trying to portray. 
You don't need to claim about being a writer, or a critic. Your keen observation and suggestion makes me more than sure that not just you can be one, you can be really good at it too. Thanks once again.
