Hidden

Note: 55 Fictions is precise form of micro-fiction that refers to the works of fiction limited to a maximum of fifty-five words. Yet this one is in 99 words-limit..
@ Rachi Creations..
99-fiction ~ Hidden ~ Happy Marriage is a result of many joyful moments shared together. She got married and was happy being in a new family with her loving husband. * Two years later, her husband suddenly died due to some chronic illness. This thought upshot a poor health to her. * She went to a doctor and got happy news that she was conceiving his child, now her only hope to live life. * However, the next news blustered that she was suffering from AIDS and hence her unborn child too! * A cynical-ugly-truth, husband had hidden from her.. instead of confronting before marriage..!
Note :
  • According to the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), India currently has an estimated 51 lakh people infected with HIV/AIDS of which 19 lakh are women. While popular perception might lead one to believe that most of these women are commercial sex workers, official numbers indicate that sex workers constitute about one lakh of the total female infections.
  • Hence the reality is that the majority of women with HIV/AIDS in India have been infected by a husband or primary male partner!
  • Also go thorugh this exteem link: Breakthrough, an international human rights organization, is launching a 360 degree media campaign, What Kind of Man Are You?
* Know more about AIDS, here link: Right Here right Now Red Ribbon ** The Above drawing is made by thyself as an extension of rachi creations.. on MS-Paint.

  1. H'lo!

    It is always nice to come across posts that throw light on the social menaces. Good job! Even if a handful of people go through the information you've shared, and share it with others, this will go on to be an awareness campaign in itself.

    Loved the art work! All the best with BATOM! :)

  7. @Rachana,

    yes, always nice to see a social awareness post.

    your 99 fiction did it justice.
    shouldn't it be later and not latter?

  12. Wow...Yes, you did it.
    you have scored on the emotions and the pragmatic impact on the readers....
    a perfect 99er.....
    yes, we all know it is a happening issue and been spreading.... we lack stringent methods to contain it.... we need redial reforms in societal mindset to handle the menace which can hit anyone...
    It is a practical hidden....hidden in the society...
    I liked the flow of words ....
    aptly depicted the haplessness and agony of the innocent victims.....
    We need more such posts on social issues....

    I appreciate you for writing this genuine, responsible post and keeping aside the BAT expectations.
    Am glad that you wrote it...
    Proud of you...

    Great work....keep exploring more such issues.
    Throw more sparks on the darkness

  13. Hi Rach;

    Cynical truth...!!! That's really painful why husband has to hide it all before marriage.

    He inflicted on his wife not only pains and heartaches but also an incurable disease.

    This is not love after all, in my point of view!

    Short but crisp dear! LOved it!

    Good luck for BATOM!!!

  17. This has resulted due to "Commoditization of Sex" in the FREE Market.

    When anyone can buy SEX the ultimate price in this economy is paid by someone else.

    The entire economy suffers in the end.

    Is more restriction a solution or giving more freedom? Or shall education be the only savior?

    When nothing seems working few non-profits take the pride in saving our society from some burns and itches.

    Let's pledge to support the movement if not take the lead.
