Dunhinda Handuwa by Saman Edirimunee

`Everything and everyone has changed, Miss I never used to think the world could change this fast but now, I firmly believe it. This world changes faster than we can ever imagine.`Every now and then, I stole a glance at her belly. Covered by a bedsheet, it hadn`t yet grown enough to show a noticeable change from the outside.`What about this little one?` I asked without any ill intent, placing my hand gently on her stomach.She looked up at me with a sudden start. As she stared at me for a moment, tears welled up in her eyes. I wondered if I had asked something wrong.`If you don`t want to say, you don`t have to I`m sorry for asking,` I said, feeling disheartened.As I began to pull my hand away from her belly, she caught it.`You are the only one who asked about them Even my parents didnt ask, Gagana` she sobbed, breaking down.My heart began to burn. I know that no one will agree with me. But my masculine heart is not yet cruel enough to smile while seeing tears in the eyes of a woman I once lovedeven if it was just for a single day. Even at this very moment, my only wish is that if she has reasons to cry, let all those sorrows fall upon my own life.`They are still here What a bad girl I am, aren`t I?``Did you want to lose yourself? Or did you want to lose this little one?` I asked her silently through my eyes.She covered her face with both hands. I didn`t need an answer. But I firmly believed that she, for her own sake, needed to find the answer for herself.
