Summary

He whipped her again and again, the belt leaving its imprint on her once pristine flesh. She struggled to breathe, to get up or crawl away- to do anything to escape the man she had once loved. Zara had suffered. Suffered from the hands of the man who had once promised to love and cherish her. Her husband Aamir had tortured her in any way he knew how, making her his perfect little slave until she would shake in the fear of who he was. All due to mistakes that Zara never made. Unable to endure any more, Zara ran away from her life with him, hoping she would somehow finally find the happiness that she deserves. But the past has a way of catching up to you. Fate was so twisted that the day Zara ran from her husband was the day Aamir found out that his wife was innocent. When he finally finds Zara after an agonizing search, her life is put on the line. As the days turn into weeks, secrets are revealed, and Aamir regrets the horrifying pain he brought to his wife whom he had once loved so much. He promises that he won't let her go this time. He wants to put the world at his wife's feet, who endured so much. But was the truth revealed a little too late? Is she too hurt to recover? Will Zara survive yet another tragedy? Will she be able to forgive her husband and his regrets?

Introduction


His Regrets



For my grandmother, who inspired this story through her harrowing experiences. May she rest in peace.




Note: This story although based loosely on my grandmothers past, is being enhanced for enjoyment purposes as well as to fit a chapter structure. Names, locations and details have been emitted and/or changed in order to maintain anonymity.

Please keep in mind that this is a difficult story for me to tell. My grandmother passed away before I grew up and developed a passion for writing. I never got a chance to ask her for her permission to write her story and publish it for thousands of people to see.

When I originally published “His Regrets”, I thought a select few would read it and it would help them know they were not alone in facing marital abuse.

However, once the story started to get views, I felt like I was exploiting her past. Reading the comments, and seeing people call my grandmother ‘too naive’ and ‘stupid for staying’ made me think I had done the wrong thing. I never wanted for my grandmother to look down and see thousands of people across the world criticizing her life, her actions, and her character.

It took me a long time and a lot of praying for a sign from above to finally understand that I have her permission. I had it this whole time. My grandmother is strong. And no comments would have ever had the power to tear her down. I love you Nona.
