The Duel Of Mind And Heart

It felt like she was trying to bear the pain that would come from his slap and his eyes sank.

Did she see him as an abusive husband?

"And I am sorry for all the things I have done to you." she opened her eyes  wide at his strange words when he looked at her earnestly. 

"I can not change the past kath. But if you give me a chance, I will make sure that you have a better future where you are free to do what you want." 

"I think you need more rest." she muttered hurriedly as she left the room.

She walked so hastily that she didn't even notice where she was going and only stopped when she was far far away.

She leaned on a pillar and took a deep breath. What was that?

Was he finally regretting what he had done to her? Was he having guilt now that he had destroyed her completely and what would this change?

Would she get her youth back? Or would the scars on her heart vanish with his one apology?
