Eclipse
The loudest applause of her life welcomed her as she stepped up the stage. The applause that drowned every abuse, the applause that soothed every pain, the applause that announced her glory, the applause that was hers and only hers.
She politely thanked the chief guest and took her gold medal for achieving remarkable success in women empowerment.
“I thank you dad for always being against me because that was the best encouragement I got to walk towards my goal“, she said no more. Just a tear escaped to define the eclipse in her dark life, which still hadn’t faded.

My theme is READER’S IMAGINATION: you hear a book’s name and your imagination takes you the world of your own. The world your imagination creates which is totally different than the world which author has created in the book.
Eclipse – Stephenie Meyer
In the dead silence, all the details suddenly fell into place for me with a burst of intuition.
Something Edward didn’t want me to know. Something Jacob wouldn’t have kept from me…
It was never going to end, was it?
As Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob – knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella has one more decision to make: life or death. But which is which?

That was a pitiful state of affairs. A father is meant to take care of his daughter like a princess. But she still emerged a winner, that’s how strong women are.
It is a heavy burden to carry. She came out stronger, nicely written.
Glad to know she turned a misfortune into a positive outcome. Wish we had more like her in reality.
We find motivation in the strangest of ways. We should never give up. Very nicely depicted.
loved this one Nibha! <3
often hardships in our lives makes us stronger to battle with life head-on…
Beautifully written Nibha! Crisp, articulate and Touching!
Beautifully captured the reality… its so easy to speak of empowerment. But to defy and go against our loved ones is very very difficult. Her tear drop, says it all! Loved it!
it’s hard when family doesn’t support. But that just made her stronger 🙂
I think with perseverance and will power every eclipse can be seen to it’s end. Wonderful and inspiring story 🙂
The eclipse will soon fade. She was courageous to do what she did 🙂

Very true words. We can either be a victim and be reduced to a puddle of self-pity or use what we’ve faced and to make us stronger and better. I’ve always been the learn, use, and move on sort. It won’t keep me down.
You presented those 100 words very well and delivered quite an emotional impact with them. Bravo.

When people we want to be there with us always, turn against us… that can break us permanently. Kuddos to her for making that her strength.
I felt a chill reading the last paragraph. You are so amazingly good, Nibha.
Chilling and beautifully expressed ! 🙂 Although I thought it must have been her better half who caused her the misery. Who would have thought it would turn out to be her own dad ? 🙁
