The doorbell rang and I rushed to open it.
“Hello, my Gudia how are you? It’s been so long! And look what I got for you!!”
There it was! A pizza! Size, large!
“Ohh, today you want to taste Pizza! Tomorrow you want to visit Italy!! What are you? A princess!! Your father works in my field. Do you understand that? Learn to cook. You need to get married soon.” A flashback played in my mind.
“Gudiya, did you forget your uncle?”
I looked at my shining Gold Medal, & smiled.
‘This post is a part of Blogchatter Half Marathon’ . Writing long articles sometimes is easy but to put a thought in just 100 words is difficult. So, I have challenged myself to focus on writing 100 word stories in this challenge, though I will be adding some long posts in between.
Love,
Chinmayee

Success has many friends. You have portrayed this so, so beautifully! Is this inspired by Mirabai Chanu?

Very interesting! It’s so sad that people’s attitude change with your success/failure.
It’s tough to tell a complete story in 100 words.
