Chapter 5: The Lady

She loved him more than anyone else. It was with proud eyes she observed her husband take stage to give his maiden address as the Prime Minister elect. It was a culmination of a dream and she was proud to have played such a crucial role in it (after all he had thanked her first). Yet there was something that was gnawing inside her. She could n't help but think of the future especially her role. She had been independent through out her life, she was an accomplished journalist. She couldn't help but think how her role as the first lady (technically as per the constitution the second lady) would have an impact on her life. Would this be an end to her career as a journalist or would it be a new beginning for her: maybe a time to focus on writing the book she had been thinking about. She chastened herself for thinking so much about herself on what should have been the happiest day in her life.
