Flash Fiction #3

Courage

At a time when it was somewhat a taboo to be born as a girl, she was born.
As sweet she was as any other boy who was born on the same day.
There they sent their teenager with a complete stranger, who claimed to be rich and wealthy.  Never to see her again, getting rid of the responsibility.
The mother of the house greeted the first ever woman entrepreneur with a glass of water. She watched with tenderness and love as she would look at her own child.

The woman spoke, ‘Thank you ma, if it wasn't for papa and you, I wouldn't have the courage to do something like this.’
