Outside the Window

Outside the window, I looked out of the window and saw a man hitting a woman on the street. It reminded me about a forgotten scene of a man who slapped his pregnant wife and died after some days in the hospital due to pregnancy complications. He claimed to do it unwillingly the court sentenced him for some years in prison. the new scene touched my heart as the innocent  half naked woman apologised publicly and the man continued hitting her. How painful can be when some people continue ill - treating people who love them? When you hear a woman says  loudly ," life is not fair" you can think otherwise while she expressed her challenges in complicated relationship. some women cry daily when they find little change in their relationships. to manage some short tempered women,  it is so challenged but disrespecting them on the streets,  it is not fair. My grandmother always told me about her past with my late grand father Alfonso who could not hit her till he died before I was born. She almost hundred years old now and continue living well. There  is no day I saw my father hitting my mother and she could not  share with us about being a victim of such abuse when we were young. It means they continue  living true love and reciprocal respect in their marriage. August 02/2023
