The cold stares and constant murmurs made her feel uneasy.
She had overnight become star albeit in an unpleasantly unique way.
Girls would peep into their phones and back at her and boys in groups would make sleazy gestures and drop pickup lines.
Walking up the podium she adjusted the microphone and bravely spoke, “dear friends, yes the girl in the MMS is me, I had sex, consensual sex to rest all rumors, it’s just that I trusted the wrong guy and all I say to you is don’t lose faith as I feel I will be loved again and this time truly.”
The auditorium went silent before she greeted the chief guest who applauded her for accepting it bravely and seeing life positively.
Hope you felt the grip same as I did in Shashank’s post on Anger, for the next letter we have chosen B for BRAVERY. For another intriguing flash fiction see what his magic pen has woven here.
That is one brave act, loved it
Thanks Datta, accepting ones mistakes, being hopeful and moving on, that’s life 🙂
Takes lot of guts.. not to speak the truth but to be ready to face the consequences..

Very true Aroraji, but one has to be as it is so required sometimes 🙂
It needs lot of courage to accept such things, she has shown her bravery by accepting it in front of others.
I so agree Arpita, it does need courage and thus she was brave 🙂

Thank you Amit ji 🙂
It is better to be brave than being a slave. Good post Shweta.
So agree Fayaz, happy you liked it 🙂
It takes a lot to own up gracefully. Good one Shweta.
it surely does, thank you so much Somali 🙂
Courageous act (shown here) to speak the truth, face the world – and be ready to face the challenges that come along. Because at the other side of the shore is a definite Individual VICTORY. Nice post Shweta 🙂
I really liked the line “Because at the other side of the shore is a definite Individual VICTORY.” so well said Vishal 🙂 Thank you for such kind words 🙂
My salutes to your protagonist.
Another great story. (y)
Thanks babe, as always super happy you liked it 🙂
Superb. I love the chief guest also because he accepts her bravery without hesitation.
Thanks Rashid, of course in my head for this fiction the chief guest is a man not a woman and so I instill hope of a better society which is more accepting 🙂
True bravery… it takes a lot of strength to face such situation boldly and face the society cause it has no sympathy for such victims
Ah the much talkative Society is a bunch of hypocrites who just want to turn their back and chew the topic even after the flavor is gone! I wish an India where we did not have to think about society 🙂 hain na?
yes…I am with you 🙂
Truly .. bravery and courage combined !
Hats off to your girl , girl …which is I am sure is not only a figment of your imagination but a part, a facet of you dear 🙂
Thanks babe, may be I could write what she did was because a part of me believes if I were her then I would have done the same 🙂 You know that about me and so the comment, truly loved your comment 🙂 Sharing a nice quote you will like by Mark Twain “Truth is stranger than Fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to possibilities truth isn’t” 🙂
Everyone makes mistakes. Even grave ones. Only a few are ready to own up to those mistakes. Brave indeed. And I am so glad you chose to write about coming clean about sex which is such a hush hush and extraordinarily gossipy topic. Life goes on, even after this mistake. Happy to see an optimistic and positive person!
Keep them coming Shweta 🙂
Thank you so so much, this truly means a lot! Unfortunately and more so in our country it is always HER fault with whatever happens, so I chose the topic thinking yes, she did it and it is not her fault nor would she give up trusting again just because she was duped once. Thank you once again babe for liking it 🙂
It takes lots of courage and inner strength to acknowledge and accept one’s mistake. ‘Brave’ take on the word, Shweta.
to love with all honesty and accept a wrong choice is brave, thank you Ragini for liking it 🙂
Very nice and brave.
Thank you Abhijitji 🙂
Not the kind of situation I’d like to see anyone in…
absolutely agree sir, but we don’t live in an ideal world do we ?
waiting for C…
here it is 🙂

That’s commendable! I don’t know why people judge others for a personal choice and more so, the one who breaks the sanctity should be humiliated.
The so called society after all Saru, glad you liked the fiction 🙂
It takes a lot of courage to stand by one’s faith. You’ve built a nice character here dearie… 🙂
Thanks babe, so agree the character had to be strong to be that brave to speak up, happy you liked it babe 🙂
great story..it takes a lot of courage to face the truth
So true Sweta 🙂
Thats brave indeed, esp in a society filled with hypocrisy and those stupid social stigma :)..
So agree Vinay, one needs to be brave to voice ones opinion 🙂
I love this. I love it when people just talk the truth head-on and make others feel a slap on their hypocrite faces. Mast article.
