She looked beautiful. The tight blouse highlighting her breasts and tapering down to her svelte waist. Her face shone and her lips looked ripe in red. She ignored the crowd and did not rush behind cars like the other girls. She liked to feel important, hard to get. It worked, as most of the men flocked to get a piece of her.
She took her time to make her choice, promising others the next night for a double pay. She felt like the queen as she walked towards the nearby car. Her gait was filled with pride. But she knew the truth herself.
Pompous on the outside, hurting inside.

A difficult and heartbreaking profession indeed. You have to look confident even if you are burning inside. We see so many here every weekend dealing with the same struggle.
ReplyDeleteIts a really sad state to be in.
DeleteTruth for so many...sad no?
ReplyDeleteP for Petrified-Random Thoughts Naba
Very! :(
DeleteReal story, Soumya. Mirror of society...
ReplyDeleteThe saddest part is that it is real.
Deleteheart wrecking. wanting to feel precious, important and yet knowing that its all for the wrong reasons. God bless 'em all...
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!
DeleteI recently read this book, about a girl who was forced into the trade. Later she rose up to be the queen of the lot. Well written!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. Name of the book please.
Deletea tough place to be for sure. Murder 2 is one movie which really hit me and it was then that i started feeling for the helpless women forced for this profession. more than the embarrassment, its such a risk each of them take to survive or to let some one else survive.
ReplyDeleteThat movie did the same to me too. Sadly more often that not the risk is worth it, as society doesn't let such people live in peace.
DeleteLOVE
ReplyDeleteperfect for me :)
Muuaahhh! :)
