A story (Part 7 )- the Trauma

Continued from:

Two days after he left the house she received a telephone call from his superior.  In the Army, the superior has to give permission if the subordinate wanted to marry again. His superior officer asked her whether he has her permission to marry again.    She told him, “Sir, he does not need my permission.  He already divorced me two days ago.  He is no longer my husband”.   

She thought she was strong.  But she was not. 
She locked herself in her office and refused to attend meetings.   Her behaviour attracted the attention of her whole office including her Boss.  She was called to explain and she broke down.  Her Boss was very understanding and approved her 1 week leave.   She was later to realize that her recovery would take many years. 

How was she feeling?  She felt small, she felt herself very ugly, and most of all, she lost her self - confidence.   She was later to realize that her behavior had not only cost her to suffer professionally but also caused her to neglect her responsibility towards her young children who were left only to the housemaid most of the time.   She was not there for herself, not there for her job and not even there for her children.          

Let's wait and see how A story (Part 8) goes...when I get the inspiration again…
