rape !
How does it feel to be raped?
There are thousands
of freaking secrets, which we are afraid to share with anyone. We all conceal
these secrets deep in the interior of our hearts, and somehow we have
appropriately interpreted that we exist in a society where everyone judges our
choices and standards. I still remember how my neighbours used to throw remarks
about my dressing style. My short dress never covered my legs, but it perfectly
uncovered the shitty mentality of others. It not only reveals their ideology to
restrain girls but also their motive to seize their lives. I was the most
rebellious child who never obeyed and never did what anyone asked me to do. My
story is similar to other rape stories; nothing is interesting in that. Today
this seems so easy to say but it was not easy before. However, by some means,
the time that destroyed everything, healed the times of yore, and some bitter
pieces of memories are constant in our hearts like acne during teenage.
My
story begins, when I was in my intermediate year (class-12th) and was looking
forward to beginning my career; I was always bright in academics and in addition to
that, used to excel in other extracurricular activities. I loved to read,
paint, party, and socialise with my friends. You cannot imagine the
bossy-sassy and brave me. I miss old me!
As
the exams were approaching, I was focusing on my studies; I wanted the best
college in the country. Nevertheless, the focused phase remained until I saw
him. (Unfortunately, I cannot disclose the name of the person, who
played with my private parts like a toy).
I
fell in love with that stupid person in my first meeting, I loved everything
about him, right from his lame jokes to his flirty jokes, and nothing could
make me hate him. The point to note here is I truly loved him with all my heart
and wits. It seems ridiculous to me today that I wasted my crucial year on
long phone calls and bunking sessions making memories with my boyfriend who was
not loyal at all. I curse my friends who used to call me beauty with
brains. I wonder where my mind was, during that prolonged phase.
Those days I completely ignored everyone, to have the slightest glimpse of my
boyfriend; my parents, well-wishers and my best friend too. My bestie warned me
to stay away from that person, but the fact is I was in love. In the board
examination; I scored near to the ground and blemished everyone’s expectation,
it was just 79% and somewhere I knew that I spoiled my dreams.
However,
the fact to notice here is that my boy kept his hand on my shoulder and kissed
me to show his fake care and said, “no matter what, you will be mine, and I am
proud of you”.
These
cute words made my day. I was happy, jumping and forgot all stress regarding
life.
Then
suddenly one day we were chilling out with our friends, he asked my hand most
romantically and took me in the corner, he pushed me on the sidewall and at
that moment; I observed his wicked deeds, I told him clearly “ I am uncomfortable!!” and left
that place.
The next
day he invited me to
his place, I found myself alone there along with four more
male friends. Those five devils showed their real standard by brutally raping
me and injuring my body.
The scars they gave me shattered me altogether
and society blamed me! Called me by abusive words, I ask you; was being
raped, my fault?
“Cheery
mornings are no longer merrier,
Little
things that I enjoyed;
Are no
longer happier
Am I the
darkest spot?
Or is it
all my fault, I want to live once,
Without
those torturing memories,
Which are
inevitably foul...”
Resurrection
I
was rebellious; I kicked this iniquitous society and stood for myself. The same
moment taught me those who loved me were standing by my side. I overlooked my
well-wishers for an unknown person. I will end this story by quoting what my
father told me in the police station-
“Loving
someone is not the fault, loving someone blindly is wrong. By taking your
stand, you will eventually win, even though this society blames you, watch
closely, who stands behind you when you fall?”
Those
words gave me hope and courage to take my stand!
Today
I am happy :) and living a good life
