The Last Letter of A Rape Victim
          Is it easy to be a girl in a country where eyes are constantly upon the dresses she wears,the way she walks,the way she talks, the people she lives with.?No,it's not!But still I chose to be one.Was that all my fault,
          That I was born a girl;
          That I wanted to be someone who could make her parents proud?
          Did those rapists ever experienced the pain that ,
          My mumma did for nine months when I was in her womb,
          The pain that I experienced every four days of a month?
          Was it so easy for them to burn everything in my life?
          I stood strong, because I knew, I wasn't someone who was born to die helpless.
          I had to stand strong for my parents because I was there only child.
          I couldn't see them collapsing with every word that the society said.
          But all they wanted was to get my baby aborted,that was inside my womb.
          I couldn't do that,as a mother.I couldn't be so harsh to my baby.
          The life that was unaware of the cruelties of this world.
          They wanted to abort my baby because it was shameful for them to see their daughter becoming a mother before marriage.
          I loved them,but I loved my baby too.
          They tried all of it to kill that little soul that was still inside my womb,and unfortunately my baby gave up.How much more could it withstand?
          And I could no more stand strong and gave up too.
          Today,both of us lie inside that coffin,but least bothered is everyone out there.
          I still want the answer to my one question,
          What was it to be ashamed of?
          Me or my baby?
          Becoming a mother is the most beautiful feeling of the world!
          But was that my fault,that I got raped and pregnant?
          What if all the effort they took to kill my baby,had they invested in finding the culprit and sentencing him to death?
          The society would had been a better place to live in.At least you could had saved two more lives and so many more dreams.
          But now, anyways that I'm gone,the culprits might be proudly breathing in the open air,raping another girl and shattering some more dreams.
          This is all that I had to say.
          P.S-I do still love you Mumma n Papa.
