Nivritti moved close to Myung-Ok and touched her shoulder, "please get up and stop crying!"
"No, you have to forgive him first. Please! We have been coming here every day to meet you. Finally, we are face-to-face. Please, for me!" pleaded Myung-Ok.
"Just get up!!" shouted Nivritti.
Myung-Ok was taken aback. She never saw Nivritti getting angry to such an extent. She had seen her cranky, but this was something else.
"You want to me forgive him? Him? Are you sure? Just look at Jae, look at her. She is frozen after she looked at your husband, do you know why? Because he not only assaulted her but also tried to choke the life out of her. Her bruises have faded so you think she is fine. What about the mental bruises she still carries? If she had been okay, she would not have frozen," chided Nivritti.
"What?" mumbled Myung-Ok.
