A suitcase of self esteem

An empty suitcase full of memories.
The messages added salt to wounds.
The car accelerated before the signal turned green. Her mind was wandering and her hands were on the steering she suddenly felt relaxed and cried out of joy
Finally she was free!
Free from the chaos, free from scrutiny and free from bondage. At 35 she virtually divorced the man she had married ten years ago! Thanks to God, she didn't have kids otherwise she had to remain in that wounded relationship which was going nowhere.
She saw her mobile, there were hundreds of messages from Carrie her best friend and Kripa. There were twenty from David, she ignored them. She had her laptop, her ATM card and bunch of car keys with the map, to Florida, Kripa was waiting with Carrie and kids. She had made Chicken Biryani and some soft appetizers of corn and eggs.
