Pov : larissa
Today is my 8th birthday and I'm happy cause I'm a happy not because of birthday. We don't celebrate birthdays cause we consider it a pagan celebration. I'm Muslim and i have strict religion and family. Yeah it's very hard to live this kinda life.
...........
Life is going so slow. I'm eager to get older i want my identification card. Marriage is the only way i can have hope of a good life. I'm not allowed to listen songs, watch films and to go outside. Yeah it's really bad. Cause i want to do the things girls do.
.......
I watch movies on laptop. It's so rare and dangerous.i love to watch true love story films cause it feels so real. I don't know what actually love is. I just love how it feels when you love someone. It's i think natural.
.........
Today my friend is coming to see me. Her mother told me on phone call. I'm happy it's so hard to get Chance to see her. But my family have problem with my friendships too.
Sometimes they limit everything for me. And i feel myself hopeless. I can't do anything. They just want to control me. My father is my only hope. He stands for me but not as he should.
.........
We have family reputation problem. Girls can't do anything but boys are free to do anything. For girls everything is prohibited on the other hand i see my brother having their own cellphones , watching movies and listening songs. But I'm not allowed to do so. Whenever they caught me they beat me.
.........
Hii surprise " said my friend aviva
But i wasn't surprised at all cause I knew she was coming. I laughed and moved towards her. I hugged her she was the only girl i shared everything with. She is a good listener. We moved to my room and started to talk. Time with her was so refreshing.
...........
Honey we should leave now" said her mother.
I was so sad knowing that she is leaving.
My brother came in at the exact time she left my home.
Why she came here and i said you to stay away from other girls i don't want you to adopt their habits" said my brother.
I don't have to ask from you what should I do or what not. Mind your business. He slapped me on face so hard that i felt blood running in my arteries
............
To be continue
