The Parting Gift, by Sivan Pillai

28/1/2022

 
I was curious why Mona insisted on meeting me. She had dumped me to marry a rich man.
“We are parting ways,” she said, sipping her cup of coffee, “Wondered if we could pick up the old days. No strings attached.”
She took out a packet from her bag and kept it on the table.
It was then that Sarah approached us.
“Meet my wife. The wedding was a hurried affair with no old friends present.”
“A humble wedding present,” Mona said, handing over the packet to Sarah.
It contained photographs of intimate moments we had together.

Bad Mona. The moral? Don't take pictures! I always appreciate a good twist, Sivan.
