As he saw the proverbial light in the tunnel, he heaved a sigh of relief- albeit premature. Finally, he thought the war zone was clearing and things and people in his life fell into peace as the light grew brighter and larger.
He lovingly turned his gaze towards his wife who was there with him throughout the journey. He looked at her intently as if he was communicating a very pious message to her thru his eyes. The intensity threw his wife off guard and she flinched in a reflex that was age old- defending herself from his assault.
He knew he was a beaten man. He knew then that the sliver of light he saw was all illusion. He knew that once a sinner, always a sinner.
He knew the universe would neither forgive nor forget.
