Ashamed to Feel the Way That I Do [Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi, Sujini]
Another 31_days prompt! :)
10 December 2006. Heartbeat/Making me ashamed to feel the way that I do [Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi: Sujini, 172 words]. SET TOWARDS THE END OF THE SERIES, POSSIBLE SPOILERS.
-
One night, in the early days, Sujini finds herself in a tavern, downing mouthful after mouthful of wine. The baby is with a family Sujini helped in the road, the mother watching over him while the rest of her family are in bed, and Sujini is out chasing away her demons. She sits alone, but after a while she decides she needs somebody to talk to, and makes her way to a crowded table. She's never had any trouble with an audience.
She pours out her story, editing along the way in order to make herself look better, and when she reaches the end, they people around don't even realise, they are so enthralled. When they begin to clap and reach for their purses, Sujini is confused, until she realises they think she is an entertainer and is telling them a made-up story.
Who would believe that a peasant-looking girl like herself, after all, had a destiny entwined with a king?
She never touches another drop of alcohol after that night.
