The Reflection

 

“You are my soulmate across lifetimes. I simply cannot live without you.   “I can’t breathe without you. That’s how deep my love runs.” Saying this, he hung up the phone with a soft “Love you.”

 “Ha! Ha! Ha!”

The reflection in the mirror burst into mocking laughter.

 “What a liar you are, you vile demon. How many women’s lives will you ruin?”

“Who asked you to interfere? Stay quiet.”

“Wretched man, it’s in my nature to reveal your true face.”

“Oh, King *Harishchandra the truth-teller, your ranting is beyond my tolerance now. Time to deal with you.”

Smash!

In an instant, the reflection shattered into pieces.

He looked down.

There, lying in a pool of blood, was the man within him.

* Raja Harishchandra was a legendary king renowned for his unwavering commitment to truth and virtue—even sacrificing his kingdom, family, and freedom to uphold a promise and remain truthful.
