She was lying there  amidst her loved ones and then...her whole life just started flashing before her...

She remembered how lively girl she was...

who always aspired to be a lawyer..jus like her aunt...she remembered how everyone in the family were so proud of her that she is the brightest among the lot...until that day ...

She remembered just getting out of her bath...

the door bell rang...she was alone so she peeped from the keyhole to see her uncle coming back from office early...she hurriedly opened the door...he asked for a cup of tea ..she went to kitchen..but uncle soon changed her plan from relishing the tea to ravishing his niece...

She was just 14 and she didn't knew why her uncle was touching her..and she thought it might be the care and affection he had for her..so she silently stood there while her uncle started doing his work...she didn't understand any of these untill  she started ...to bleed .......and then she started crying....her uncle left after she got unconscious .

In the evening , she told her mother and she was greeted with a slap and then she tried telling to her father and to her utter dismay he rejected it altogether.. then she went to her aunt and after she heard that her husband raped her niece ..the aunt filed a complaint against this and immediately filed for divorce.

She remembered how every lawyer tried to outrage her modesty and when her aunt began to loose the separately filed divorce case due to lack of witnesses as per the rule of having four..she changed her divorce appeal from rape to adultery and there she was defenseless as her lawyer accepted that her niece and her husband were having an affair and she was granted divorce as the little girl, who didn't knew what will be the outcome trusted her aunt , agreed that she didn't protest and the uncle did ravished her . The rapist was acquitted.

She stood in silence when she heard that uncle was set free but she was ordered to be lashed naked in public. she cried and looked to her aunt but her aunt herself was responsible for the result as she wanted the divorce and she got that with her niece getting lashed.

She remembered how she was stripped off her clothes and lashed in public with everyone cheering the event and some even threwing stones towards her. She was admitted to hospital and then  freed after a week .

She started remembering about the event of last night. Her father was fighting with her mother and all she can heard was the word dishonor. After that it was silent for an hour before she heard knocking at her door. She opened the door to find her mother who hugged her hard and started crying and then she saw an arm gripping her fragile arm to take her away from her mother. The arm was of her father and before she can understand anything she saw her uncle with the gun. She tried to free herself and started crying out loud calling her mother to save her but found her mother crying and hurriedly shutting her mouth with her hand. The last hope was of her , her mother was gripping her mouth so that she can't cry out loud and her father was gripping her hard so that she can't escape, and the uncle with the gun pointing at her heart shouting

" It is needed for the honor. God forgive me "

And then everything started disappearing ...the pain subsided with the numbness taking over and soon it was all blank...
