Sometimes you write to express the feelings which you can't speak about to anyone, feelings which you can't tell anyone, but you need to let it go out of your mind and soul for you to relax, for you to move ahead ...... for you to push yourself to live your life because .... you can't quit like that.


It's a story of a Mother,

It's a story of a daughter,

It's a story of a sister,

It's a story of a wife,

It's a story of a Woman .... of every women who lives to make others happy at her cost and is still blamed for all evils happening in everyone's life.

Who bears everything, but is still called as weak 

It's a story of a woman ...... a common women named Riza


Riza was an independent girl who loved to live her freedom. She belonged to a middle class family where values were kept at highest priority. Her parents believed in making their daughter as totally independent girl and had given Riza all freedom for all decisions of her life. They always believed her capabilities and trusted every step taken by her for her life. Her family believed in love, trust, respect, calmness and hapiness. 


Riza was well educated and well settled in her career and enjoying her life living her dreams. She was a confident girl who believed that nothing is impossible with positive attitute and hard work. On the other side, she was even very emotional and very attached to her family. 

Riza loved a guy named Alex and finally married him after dating him for 4 years. Alex was a nice boy but he had no control on his anger.

Happily married since years, Riza was pregnant. Alex used to take good care of Riza but only one thing which Riza was facing was Alex anger and his uncompromising nature. But, she believed that may be with kid coming in their life, Alex's anger may get less.

Soon Riza and Alex were blessed with a baby boy. They named him Adam. Their lives revolved around their son. The day used to start with smile of Adam and end with his laughs. The life was too good not to have any stress. Adam was growing with all love and attention from his parents.The whole life of both of them changed. But, one thing which Riza had though may change, remained same ....... Alex's anger !!!


Soon Adam was three years. As we say that time never remains the same, so did the relationship between Riza and Alex. The anger of Alex was increasing so much. He was shouting and yelling on small small things. Riza was a soft fun loving girl, so she was not liking the shouting nature of Alex.

After the birth of Adam, Riza had been facing some health issues. And it was becoming worst because of the short temper nature of Alex. Riza was bothered a lot about Adam being impacted by this environment. She could feel the anger coming in Adam behaviour as well.  She was continuously trying to make Alex understand that his this nature is impacted Adam a lot and he is too small to see all the fights and live in such environment, but Alex was unable to understand the concern of Riza. As days went by, the condition worsened.


Earlier Alex only used to abuse Riza and yell at her, but now he even started abusing her physically. If Riza was raising her concern for some wrong deed of Alex, Alex would loose his temper and start physically abusing Riza and that too in front of their son Adam.

The life of Riza had become a nightmare. The girl who was treated with so much of love by her parents, was so independent ....... the girl who had never been beaten even once by her parents, who never had heard any abusive words , went in so much of trauma. 

Many a times Riza had though of quiting the life, but then he used to see the smiling face of Adam and change her decision. 


Adam was continuously looking such fights and physical abuses. After every fight, Riza used to get shattered, but then he used to look at Adam; gather herself, used to put a smile on her face and went to Adam to talk to him with all smiles and happiness. She never used to cry before her son with the though that her child should not be impacted. On the other hand, Alex used to spend most of his time outside the house and at night partying with friends.

Time was flying for the world, but for Riza it was moving so slow. Every day used to start with an abuse and end with a fight. But Riza was staying strong, strong as a Mother, though weak as a wife and a person. She never wanted Adam to have single parent love.

But, with everyday Riza was loosing her self confidence. 

It was two years since Riza was dragging herself in such environment for the sake of her child and was tired now.

She finally decided that she will take care of Adam as a single parent.

Riza was financially independent, doing good in her professional career, had full support from her parents and was taking all care of Adam herself right from finances to studies.


The school sessions were over and it was the time for summer vacation. Adam was very excited as he was going for 15 days to his maternal grandparents house. For Alex and Adam it was 15 days stay but Riza had decided that she will never come back to Alex. She was thinking of disclosing the separation news of hers to her parents in few days and to Alex after 15 days. 

Adam was enjoying the days spent at his grandparents house. Looking at this, Riza was bit relaxed. It was 8th day of Riza's stay at her parents house and she decided to tell her parents about her separation decision the next morning.


But, that night, Adam started crying very badly as he was missing his father. Riza decided to wait for a day to tell her parents looking at Adams condition. But, as the days were passing, Adam was crying more to meet his father. Looking at this, Riza was very confused. She didn't wanted Adam to feel the absence of his father and on the other side, she even didn't wanted to go back to Alex. 

But, as said, Mothers sacrifices everything for their child, so did Riza. She decided to go back to Alex. 


Now Riza was spending her total time with Adam. She was ignoring all wrath coming from Alex. Her total focus was Adam. She was hardly spending a penny on herself and trying to save maximum for Adam. Whenever she used to get tired of abuses from Alex, she used to look at Adam and used to smile and play with him with the though that he should not be impacted.


Riza had decided that as Adam would turn 16 years or a age where he could live without his father and would understand to support her mother for her separation decision, that day she will leave Alex.

Although, Riza never talked ill about Alex in front of Adam, though even after doing bad to Riza, Alex used to blame Riza for all the wrongs happening in his life.


Days went, weeks went, month went and so did years.

Adam was 16 years!!!!

Riza was very happy and excited. She had arranged a surprise birthday party for Adam. 

It was evening and as soon as Adam entered his house, he was glad to see all his friends and relatives to celebrate his sweet 16th birthday. The birthday party was going good. Suddenly, there was a yelling sound coming from the bedroom of Riza...... It was Alex yelling on Riza !!!! 

Adam entered the room. Riza looked at him with the hope in her eyes that Adam, his son, will support her now and she will be out of all her pains which she has been bearing because of Adam.

But, as we say, life is very unpredictable; so was Adam's reaction. Adam even started shouting on her mother for spoiling his party. Riza was stunned!!!!


She was totally shattered hearing such words coming from her son, the son for whom she has been bearing all verbal and physical abuses for last 13 years. She was hoping that her son will support her and that she will separate from Alex now. But, the things went totally opposite. 

Since childhood Adam has been seeing his father abusing his mother and mother smiling and living her life. For Adam, it was that wife is treated like this and nothing wrong is happening to his mother. 


Riza, who was just living for her son, was left for no aim to live. She was so disheartened and broken that she couldn't bear her son's reaction. She went in trauma and few weeks later, when she realized that her son doesn't need her anymore, she left for heavenly abode....... 


No women loves to be abused. If they are bearing it, is only because they don't want their child to have single parent's love. Respect their sacrifices because it is because of them that a house becomes Home and you exist!!!!
