The priest once again whipped Sukanya’s face with a heavy broom chanting a scary mantra.
The ignorant family and priest thought Sukanya who felt like a teenage boy who loved and played cricket over cooking and embroidery was possessed by a male ghost.
One more whip on her face and she held the priest’s hand hard and threatened in a husky tone, I am Shekhar and accept me this way or I will destroy this village.
After that incident Sukanya’s father never forced her to wear a salwar nor did the villagers bully her.
That was the only safe way to give wings to her trapped identity.

Feeling trapped was a unique emotion and we agreed instantly, am sure a super post awaits on Shashank’s blog here.
A very interesting read, Shweta.
Thank you Purba, happy you liked it 🙂
Brilliant, Shweta. That was so exquisitely written.
Thank you Vinitha, happy you are liking my FSF 🙂
fear is the key
Immaturity of the society I think which leaves one helpless.
A trapped soul should have to spread its wings… 🙂 I’ll read your other fictions soon… 🙂
Sure Arpita, how did the A-Z go with you 🙂
If only we are allowed to pursue our dreams.. Nice read..
Thank you, its about living and letting live 🙂
Oh wow! Here is a first. Never read a story of coming out… Well. I love the various characters and characteristics of the characters you have brought out in the A-Z challenge!
Thank you for being by me through the challenge and super thank you for noticing the detailing of the characters throughout 🙂
Ha Ha she must be one of us pucca 😀 😀 If this is the way I am forced then this is the way I’ll get things done my way .. :D:D though its a sad situation in reality but it just made me happy 🙂
Yes for once babe I didn’t want to give it a serious look so the satire in the twist 🙂 happy happy you liked it 🙂
Kahaani may twist! Badhiya!
Thank you Deepakji 🙂

Wow then the post met its purpose 🙂
Haha! Brilliant twist.
Thanks Jay.
Liked how you took our attention on this serious issue in amiable way
that was on purpose Ravish, didn’t want it in a serious taste!
Very nicely written story, I loved the twist 🙂
Thank you Aunt Mary 🙂
Intriguing …!
indeed!
Good one. Leads one to ponder. Your five sentences are really emphatic.
and five sentence are not my forte so I thought happy I am proven otherwise 🙂
Very interesting and well presented Shweta. When society doesn’t accept people as they are, they are bound to feel trapped.
Rightly said Somali 🙂
Intriguing post !
Thanks babe!
So much have been said in these five sentences! I can’t understand why the society looks down to such people and forces them to live a so-called ‘normal’ life. An excellent micro-fiction on the plights of a transgender.
Thank you babe….I am really happy for this appreciation, it means a lot…when close friends can relate to your writing so well 🙂
OH good and well done.. ONE needs to STAND UP .. .
Bikram’s
Thank You Bikram 🙂
yeah..sometimes people need to resort to such measures when nothing works
So true Sweta, sometimes that’s the only resort.
I would say pack the bags and go all out! 😉 That’s one way for I believe if you are with people who wouldn’t appreciate who you are, you are always trapped, forever. Well written Ananya! 🙂
No Shashank, it isn’t that easy j, we don’t stay alone,we stay with people and they make society….so it matters somewhere.
Very nice. Agony of being trapped in a different body.
Yes Abhijit ji, its sad that really is so difficult to accept 🙁
