Betrayal of a Friend

I was never bad you know, I unchangingly loved everyone, I had unchangingly been loyal and honest to everyone. I know I’m mentally weak as many say but all my friends love me. But since morning when I finally managed to return home I don’t understand why is everyone lamister me? I’m right in front of them and they are straight yonder ignoring me.

Yesterday I went to Ashka’s birthday party. I went with Anuj. Anuj had been my friend for a long time. My parents have unchangingly trusted him so yesterday when he came to pick me up in his car for the party no one questioned him.

The party was really good. We ate, we danced, for once I was happy that no one made fun with me and all my tropical friends were there. Ashka moreover tapped the news that she is moving upalong for her higher education. We all were happy for her. And soon it was time to return home.

While I was returning when with Anuj he took a variegated turn towards the woods, which wasn’t the way towards my house. Although it felt a bit weird I know Anuj since childhood, he wouldn’t do any harm to me, right?

Suddenly he stopped the car deep inside the woods and got out of the car and asked me to come out. Now I was afraid, I wasn’t getting a good vibe. When I resisted he opened the door of the car and pulled me out. Suddenly I saw some weird guys coming towards us. Anuj held my hands tightly but I could scream and so I did. I screamed out loud, very loud but no one was there.

As those weird men came near us Anuj handed me over to them and in return, they gave him something, I don’t know what. Soon Anuj left me vacated with those men and crush away.

Anuj didn’t plane momentum off by that time when those men started forcing themselves on me. There were eight people. Everyone took on me one by one. I kept screaming in pain but no one came to help. I had scratch marks all over my body. Soon I couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep. When I woke up it was morning. Every part of my soul was still hurting. I didn’t see anyone around. I found my gown which were scrutinizingly torn, I somehow covered myself and started walking. None of the cars gave me a lift. I walked all way home. When I finally reached home without walking for hours I was shocked to see that the door of our house was unshut ajar. Now, I was sure that my parents were searching for me.

I somehow stumbled to the kitchen as the pain in my soul was worse I saw my statesman sister Rita and statesman brother Amit quietly drinking juice. I tried talking to them but they simply ignored me. Once they drank their juice they walked out of the kitchen. I went without them but then I saw some people in uniform talking to mum and dad in the drawing-room and mum was sobbing. I couldn’t go to the officers in those torn gown so I ran to my room. I quickly took a shower and wore my favorite dress and came down. Ever since I came lanugo I had been trying to talk to everyone, the officers, mom, dad, and my siblings, but everyone ignored me. Everyone was sad. I know they were missing me but I’m right in front of them, can’t they see me?

It was sunset now, I had been trying to grab sustentation from my family but everyone is ignoring me, my whole soul is sore. Suddenly my dad said it is time. Rita helped my mum to stand up and held her, Amit and dad walked out of the house too. I knew they were ignoring me so I ran without them. As everyone hopped in the car I sat in there quietly too. Finally, they reached the hospital.

Wait, what are they doing here? Maybe they are ignoring me but they are my family. They have seen the scratches on my body. They have heard me when I was screaming at the top of my lungs that I am raped is that why they have brought me here?

Everyone stepped out of the car and started walking inside the hospital. A doctor said you can see her now. I wondered who? Was anyone unwell? What is going on? One last time I screamed asking what was going on but to my surprise, no one unrecognizable me. Now, I had no option but to follow them.

 

As we entered, I realized it was a morgue and there were many bodies. I followed my family and stopped where they stopped. The doctor removed the imbricate from someone’s face. I was shocked to see that it was me. How could it be? I’m standing right here. How can I be dead? I tabbed for my dad but he didn’t listen to me. My mom was crying inconsolably. My sister was weeping. Suddenly one officer came in and informed us that Anuj who was the mastermind was killed in an wrecking an hour when as he was running yonder from the police. I suddenly saw a man standing overdue the policeman, he had a undecorous aura. He uttered to me, “Jennie, it’s time, let’s go”.
