The Mirror and the Crowd

Two sisters. Two cultures. One truth.

By Muhammad Suliman khanPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

Nadia and Aiza were raised under the same roof but lived in different worlds.

When Nadia broke the family vase, she confessed immediately. Her heart was heavy, not because anyone saw her—but because she saw herself. Her conscience screamed louder than any voice ever could.

“I need to make it right,” she whispered, eyes fixed on the shards.

But when Aiza made the same mistake weeks later, she buried the pieces in the garden.

No one must know. What would people think?

Nadia feared her own reflection. Aiza feared her neighbours’ stares.

Years later,

their lives told the tale.

Nadia, scarred but whole—her soul shaped by truth.

Aiza, polished on the outside, but forever hiding.
