Episode 3
Asif Ali used her in all manners and to be clear he enslaved her in return of the favors he did to her by guaranting her the food. She was living a life of a whore a cheap slut who not only has to satisfy physical needs of Asif ali but he made her to sleep with his friends as they all shared ladies amongst. Sometimes Asif had also sent her to few local people as well.
Zara was living a life of distress, humiliation and guilt but whenever she saw her face in mirror she got more and more determined to provide her son better life. Pakistani government started a Madrasa for the refugees and Zara sent Shoaib there for education.
Five years passed by like this. Zara adjusted herself into this new settlement of life. She was happy that Shoaib was attending Madrasa. She, in her mind weaved a beautiful future for him. One night Asif came all drunk into her tent and started having sex with her in front of Shoaib. He tore her shirt and started biting over her breasts. He was squeezing her body in his big rough hands, He forced himself into her wildly and she screamed out of pain. He bit her lips until they started bleeding. This was not knew for Zara but she could not avoid Shoaib looking at her while Asif was raping her and she could do nothing to keep her son away to see his mother going through all this. Asif, after he raped her stood up and went away leaving her naked. Zara was left crying, humiliated and tortured. She did not even have strength to look for her son as she did not want to face her boy. She waited,waited and around two in the morning she stood up. She saw her son sleeping. Zara kissed Shoaib on his forehead with tears in her eyes but her face had no expression. She was dead internally and decided to end her life now. She prayed to god to look after Shoaib but for her, this was the time to go to Mohammad Khan. She walked out of the tent and started walking towards the highway. She was walking while thinking about all the incidents of her past, when she got married,the ceremonies, when she first saw Mohammad Khan. How Mohammad khan made her believe that she was the most beautiful women. How Mohammad khan loved her and the moment she gave birth to Shoaib. How happy they three were and suddenly the silence of night was broken by her scream. Zara Mohammad Khan jumped in front of a truck and there she was lying , all soaked in blood but now there was peace and rest.Now there was no suffering.She was free. Municipal Corporation cremated her and announced her stray.
Shoaib did not find her when he woke up in the morning. He looked around but could not find her.She was no where and then he found Asif. Where is my mother? Do you know Uncle. Ha ha ha ha ha Teri ammi, woh gai hogi kisse yaar ke saath moj masti karne, randiyon ka thikaana to khuda bhi nahi bata sakta, Chall dawfaa hoja yahan se haram ki aulad.....( Your mother,she must have fled with some lover. Whores do not have address. Get out of here you son of a bitch. Shoaib was taken back.He could not understand that why Asif was so rude to him and abusing him. Suddenly a security guard came and he whispered something to Asif... Ei haramkhor idhar aa.. Shoaib looked at Asif... Teri ammi chali gai hai kisse yaar ke saath par kehalwaya hai ki tujhe bade Madrasa mei bhejne ko,, Chalega kya?.( Come here you bastard. Your mother ran away with some rich man but she has arranged admission for you in a very big school. Do you want to go there?) Shoaib nodded in Affirmation....Asif told him to sleep in his tent. He crawled into a corner thinking about his mother that why she left him in this world alone on the mercy of people like Asif. He was feeling sad and angry, he was unable to understand that why his mother 'who loved him so much and who would herself sleep hungry but always made it sure that he had his meals'' would leave him like this into misery and loneliness. Asif shook him and told him to get up, it was morning already. He did not remember when he fell asleep. Asif smiled at him and said that he will send him to Madrasa where he will be fed good and shall be educated too and then after two hours he was sitting on the cycle and being taken somewhere he did not have any idea about.
To be continued...
This story has a big lesson and really when i started reading it created interest and i read all the post. Zara was humiliated by Asif but Zara had took her own life it is not good she must get revenge from Asif not from her and other thing her son remain alon it is not good
Beautifully written, @honeychum. Just beautiful. Very evocative and expressive. You have described the brutality and humiliation of rape extremely well. It evokes anger and sorrow. The humiliation and the shame and pain of Zara and her reaching the breaking point shakes the soul. The little boy's confusion, anger and lack of understanding due to age is so real. The evil manipulation of people like Asif is so accurate. I really like the way the episode ends with a twist and carving of a new path. And technically , this episode is flawless. Perfect grammar , spelling and structure. The supporting photo is also so apt....... Awesome, @honeychum :)
Thanks a lot Nehab. I am happy that you have noticed improvement. I am taking time to do proof reading now. Its friends like you who motivate and inspire to do better work.
My pleasure, @honeychum ... I always look forward to your work... It is a pleasure to travel with you in your journey as a writer. :) . Your efforts and improvement are awesome and amazing :) :)
"Zara was living a life of distress, humiliation and guilt but whenever she saw her face in mirror she got more and more determined to provide her son better life. Pakistani government started a Madrasa for the refugees and Zara sent Shoaib there for education."
