The Party
Words 100
“The party isn’t until 7 pm.” My husband looked at his watch, “how come you’re ready?”
“Aunty requested me to come early and help her get dressed.”
My husband gave a snort. “You always rave about the way she wears her sari and make up. Why would she need you?”
I hesitated. “Perhaps she’s feeling her age.”
My husband grunted and thankfully let it go.
I had kept my promise. All Aunty wanted was moral support. She needed someone to hold her hand and soothe her jangling nerves.
Her husband of 60 years had raised his hand at her, again.
