The old classmate

I just heard a shocking news while talking with my college friend on phone. Of course our college has been opened again but our class has been closed because of public exams. So we were talking about our college fees and other staffs. Suddenly she gave me a shocking news while chatting. I can't believe this could ever happen to someone I know.

It was about Mini who used to study with us in the same school and in the same class. Though I wasn't too close with her, I knew her quite well. When we were in class nine, she had to stop studying because of poverty. Well, she wasn't that poor before. But after her father became a victim of a road accident and lost his legs, the poverty went inside their family and dragged them into fully different path as her father was unable to make money anymore. She has two sisters and one brother. But her brother was just two years old back then. And her sister's were also studying but they also had to stop studying and because her mother can't afford feeding all of them with the collected money, she and her helpless husband sent the two sisters away by arranging their marriage. They could get rid of two stomachs but what can they do for their own? Mini's mother started to work on another's house but it can't help them too much. Her father can't do any work because he had to lie on the bed for 24/7. So, Mini thought she would help her family. She dreamt to see the smile on her father's face again. She dreamt to watch the happy face of her mother and her little brother again. So, she was searching for a job. But it's like catching a golden fish from ocean. Who would give her a job?

One of her friends suggested her to go foreign as the foreigner was searching for Bangladeshi girl workers. She thought it could be help for her and her family. She could sent money to her family every month and they could able to live a better life again. And also her dad can be treated in a big hospital. So she contacted the brokers. The brokers told her that there's a job of maid servant in Saudi Arabia. If she can give him five lac taka, he can take her to there. As she couldn't afford this much money, she lend money from her friends and relatives saying that she will return the money after got paid.

She was happy by thinking that she would fix everything but alas! Something too horrible was waiting for her there. First day, when she started working she had to face lot of problems as she doesn't know Arabic. She tried to learn but no languages can be learned overnight. In the house, there lives three guy. As she couldn't understand them, she doesn't know their relation and assume that they were brothers. They were too big sized and quite scary looking. Though they were just three, they had lots of clothes to wash, lots of dishes to make, lots of places to clean. And as there were no other workers like her, she was given order to do all the works. She was working very hard just for her family. Even if she had to do work from dusk till down, it was nothing to her.

But one day, she experienced something very very horrible. She was working in kitchen. The house was empty as the guys went for their work. It's been two months since she. started working here so she can now talk little Arabic. Anyways, a guy came back from work and told her to make some tea and bring them to his room. Mini make some tea and went to his room. When she entered inside, she couldn't notice the guy. She was going to left the trey on the table suddenly she noticed that the guy was her behind and locked the door. She got afraid and looked her back. As she assumed, the guy was getting ready to reduce his hunger. She couldn't took any steps as the guy jumped on her with his buffalo like body and completely dragged her to his bed. She started crying, begging but that couldn't help. The monster started to eat her alive and as she was weak, she couldn't do anything. After fucking her up, he went outside and locked her up in the room as he knew she would try to escape from here after this situation. Mini was lying on the floor like a dead body as she was too weak to stand.

After some times, she tried to get out but she noticed she has been locked up. She tried her best but couldn't get out from there. After the night, she noticed someone was unlocking the door. She stood up. She was afraid but also helpless. She saw another's guy came inside. She thought he would help her so she started to begging for help with her broken language. The guy smiled at her and did the same to her. And when he was leaving after quenched his thirst, he ordered her to work. This time he didn't lock the door and went away. After some time, she came out. Her face turned pale, she got skinned here and there. Bloodstains were all over her clothes. She was searching a way to escape but alas! All of the doors and windows were locked from outside. She had to stay all the day. She was crying but nobody was there to listen to her. At night when all of them came and saw she haven't done any work, they started to beat her brutally. Even her scream, pitiful face didn't help her either. As she couldn't escape from there, she had to live in the apocalypse. Everyday she works for the guys and every night, whenever they need, she had to sacrifice her body though she became too weak. If she refused to do that after doing with one, she had been beaten brutally.

One day, she succeed to escape from there and came to her home being very sick.

She described everything as it was too painful for her. But when everyone knew about it, they didn't let her live peacefully as she got pregnant too. People came to see her from far and they whispered something in her father's ear. Her father was now capable to move with helping of wheelchair. Everyone in her family was sad for her but they couldn't take her to doctor as they don't have enough money. Now, she can't go outside as people look at her with bad eyes. People pointed at her and whispered each other's ear using very bad languages. It was too much for her but she didn't have any other choice but to accept her fate.

One day, she was cooking for her family. She went to ask her father is he would eat the stale curry which her mother brought from a house where she works. But she saw her father was going to tie a rope with celling fan though it was hard to stand up. She stopped her father and took him down. He cried out and told her to let him die as he couldn't do anything for her. And he also can't bear the bad talks and bad gestures of the people. Mini also cried out and said it was all her fault. In reply, her father told her then why she came back. Didn't she know it would happen to her if she come back?

In reply, Mini was silent and kept crying.

After that, she went outside and didn't come back. Everyone of her family was worried. Some of outsiders were trying to console them, some said it was good for her family and she shouldn't come back. Some said she has been profane.

In the morning, her lifeless body has been found in the nearest river. Though she didn't want to die, people left no choices for her. But she couldn't sleep peacefully after giving her life. People were saying to burn her body as she can't go to heaven. Unholy girls like her can never enter into heaven. Maybe she had to watch over her helpless parents from far silently.
