His sister sat in her wheelchair, her eyes hopeful that he would change his decision to leave. He was the only one who could make her laugh.
He kept mumbling to himself, regret nothing. That's what he believed in.
Still he glanced back, gave her a pleading look, hoping she understood. His free life waited.

    Very well written......But I felt he is running away from his duties who would look after her once he is gone........He is being selfish. Good Luck for BAT

      Thanks Pavil.
      He is being selfish, that's why he's feeling guilty and apologetic. But he's making the choice for himself...
      All the very best to you too. I really enjoyed your entry - very different, with an unexpected ending.

      Thanks Ash. One does have to make tough, selfish choices at times... all the time hoping that one wouldn't regret them in times to come.
