A Silent Scream

Anya was a single mother. Alvin thought she won't feel assured to be with anybody due to her son. After all, not everyone could accept somebody's son. So he thought marriage could make her feel secure. Hence he hadn't dared to do anything to her.

All the more, Alvin didn't want her for a day or two. He wanted her in his whole life. So he didn't want her to feel like he was treating her like other women.  So it was his way of showing his intention. But he didn't consider some things are important to voice it right.

If actions could speak louder and clearer, Alvin had no objections to showing it.

In a stupor, Anya was waiting for his response. But seeing him stand silent, her shoulders slowly dropped. 

Did she again overthink?
