Alina,
I am glad you liked it. And many thanks. Hopefully I will have enough time and temperament to post more frequently.

P_didi,
Appreciate you reading through the story and while it might sound like a cliche reply, I guess it is all about ever prevalent male chauvinism and their freedom to a certain extent in such wrongdoing that is condoned by the society. It might also be the heirarchy of priorities, for women it is more about family and kids (not generalizing, but majority of them believe in so) while men are expected to work, bring home a bacon and while doing so it gives them enough time to stay away from home and explore other avenues.

Kiddo,
Appreciate that, a compliment from you means a lot to me. Echoing your humor, I remember an incident during my first few years in America. I had a friend who lived in Houston area and worked in a gas station where he somehow managed to amass a huge chunk of money. So much so he bought a brand new Toyota Camry. When asked, he was honest enough to mention (barring some pomposity)that  he stole an average of five hundred dollars a week. Later that store was robbed, in his presence, by an African American male, and that led him to despite all black individuals, he still holds that grudge.

Kaji,
I am gratified. The story might not be my own, but I have seen many a families, both Nepalese and Indians, live though it.

Vasu,
Appreciate that, we need to read more of you as well my friend.

am_I.....,
She sure was, but what about the person who slept with her?

valley_,
I am yet to reply to your story, but here is the thing and I do not believe in flattery - you are probably the only first timer who has written a story so well (considering this is the only nick you have, lol). The control in your writing and choice of words was simply phenomenal. I mentioned arlier to you that while writing in such platform where lots of people do not want to waste their time reading, a quick and succinct read would be much appreciated and you replied maybe your story lacks it. It doesn't my friend, your writing skills are exemplary and I'd like to read more of you.

ujl,
Thank you. The story ends right there. I could have written a little more but it would be overly dramatic. To answer your question I did go to a school in midwest, but do not live there currently.

Riddle,
Maybe she should, but then the story would fail to demonstrate her integrity as a woman. Thanks for visiting brother, means a lot to me.
