My husband made me a prostitute.

But he didn’t have to force me. I volunteered myself. Initially my family and my in laws had a problem, but now they’ve adjusted to my new lifestyle.

In my profession I get to meet various kinds of people everyday, mostly brats and unsatisfied husbands. The more I see them the more my heart fills with pride, because I know my husband would never do something like this.

A few months back I hated prostitutes, obviously then I’d never thought I would become one. But now my perception has changed. It gives me a new name everyday, not to mention a new man as well.

The pimp who gave me this job makes sure I sleep with safe customers. He even suggested I undergo tubectomy, to avoid any sort of hindrance. I am considering his suggestion but I guess I’ll have to take my husband’s permission. But I’ll have to wait for it, because he doesn’t talk to me. He doesn’t talk to anyone. He is in coma. The doctor says he needs to be operated within 2 months. We’ve sold our houses, our cars. Our parents are too old to work. With the education I have, prostitution wasn’t the only option, but I chose it, because it was the highest paid.

Sometimes I wish he hadn’t left for the party that Saturday. That’s when the truck hit him. My doctor says his spinal cord had been shattered, and it’s a miracle that he survived.

I am sure this isn’t the future he had planned for me, but I don’t mind living it. May be I die everyday, but I’m sure my husband will live one day.



It’s your family who’ll pay the price.
Don’t drink and drive.

An unexpected ending to the story...awesome..initially I thought it to be some sympathy gainer so called "I am a prostitute but i have reasons....story" but when I read the concluding paragraph the twist made me read it again..good piece..and so the moral of the story is guys "Please do not drink and drive..."

Joybrato Dutta said...

thanx anusha
m glad u liked
coz undoubtedly u r my best critic.
my story is just one situation. it doesn't have to be everyone's story. the motive was male drunk drivers should know that this can be a possible result.

Sukriti said...

i think the punch lies nt in the story..but the way it has been crafted...or screenplay if adapted suitably
though i had my doubts abt u writing it...but i will give u benefit of doubt

Joybrato Dutta said...

well u wish u were correct Sukhi
But as the world knows i am a better writer

Debolena said...

Simple, small, intriguing...the twist is brilliant. In just one part I thought you contradicted yourself but if I look at the way you crafted the story, I would say that you have a good future in the field of story writing.
