Sunday 100: Remorse

So you guys find vague titles to be uncreative, eh? For each March Sunday 100s, I had planned out vague and interesting titles, but I guess, those titles will have to wait now. From now on I will try to pick a closed title, so you guys are able to write a Sunday 100.

Perhaps, I should start with “Mother’s Day”, but for me, everyday is a Mother’s Day. Do we celebrate ‘Happy Day’ everyday? Why not?! So it ain’t going to be that title.

Everyone has a bit of regret… If you can write about ‘love’ then you can write about…

So without further ado, the title for this week is:

Remorse

    Small town in central India.
    Farewell party for class 12.
    Sonia,the quietest girl in class finds herself dancing with school captain Vicky.
    He leads her out to the grounds…she lets him go all the way.
    Guilty,Sonia says
    “I’m yours now,Vicky…I’ll wait for you ….otherwise I’ll never marry”
    Remorseless,Vicky swaggers away.

    Years later…the school reunion.
    Vicky is introducing his wife to his friends.He spots Sonia.
    “Hi,Sonia…how’ve you been?…Where’s hubby?”
    “Hi,I told you I’ll either marry you or never marry.You made your choice…I made mine”

    Vicky is remorseful…

    The Young techie had finally arrived.
    He got a job offer from a MNC and had to leave to the US.
    At the Mumbai airport he bid his family goodbye assuring that he would be back in a year or two.
    However he got stuck in the American dream - swanky car, apartment and then got married.
    His son was born an American citizen. Years passed!!!!!
    Son joined the US Airforce.

    Later relations between India and US got bad leading to war.
    Received a call from his son one morning that he was fine and they had bombed most parts of Mumbai.

    He was filled with remorse!!!!!!!

    Make the sentence

    “Maa is sufferring silently.. makes pickels…”

    “Maa ,sufferring silently,makes pickels”

    if your counter shows 101 words.

    I’d leave the dots in. i write like that.
