3.She Is Alive

The weather is sunny with a gentle breeze of winter. Falling curtains are waving as if they are playing hide and seek with sun and tree shadows, peeking through the window and making a pattern on her face.

Her long hair is spread all over the floor while she is trying to catch those breeze with her hands. Tree shadows are playing on her face. A pair of birds came, did some quarrel with themselves, and again left. Somehow, they are not afraid of Fiza. She finds it odd... Am I not scary?  She tries to shoo them, they leave and again come back and start twitting mockingly. She admits defeat and dozes off.

Last night...

Fiza was roaming around before his father's bedroom door hesitatingly. She knew her father could tell her presence but still wouldn't come out of the room. Finding no way out,...she slipped through a piece of paper under the door written CAREER. She doesn't know, how she is going to make it....but yet....she passed the answer and fell. Her body suddenly lost all the weight, maybe it's the stress. She sat down in front of the door squeezing her knees. She wanted to see her father's reaction after hearing the decision. He won't be surprised obviously, I mean who will choose marriage? But still, even if the answer is Carreer where is the way to make it? All these years in jail made her even afraid of roads.

Another paper came beneath the door shooting toward her. Her father replied, PACK ALL OF YOUR BELONGINGS, I FOUND A PLACE FOR YOU...YOUR DEADLINE ENDS AFTER 6 MONTHS. THEN WE WILL MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS.

She sighed.

Court fighting+jail. She already lost 3 years of her life and most crucial 3 years. She was about to finish her college and start her University life. It was all a wish and something that everyone hopes for. All vanished just in a glimpse, she lost his college life and because of the gap...she can't even get into a university. A perfectly destroyed life.

When she came out...she saw a different world. In this world, she is a slut, who slept with 3 men. Someone who is listed as a shameless girl.

The video is still roaming on the internet. Some directly saw the video, and some knew it through media. She now understands the world, sometimes even better than some people. She now knows, People just need something to put their all stress on a hot topic and this was one of them. Media is a big power. It can destroy, it takes decisions before even law does, it can make anything... and about us? We become what we behold eventually, and media is the easiest way for that.

She can't reveal her face to the world now, people don't forget easily... even if they, media won't let them.

From a talkative active girl with a bright future who used to always smile, whose eyes used to always shine... to a burden with an unknown future whose lips don't move even if she tries her best. Her cousins tried a lot to make her sound. Not even a word came out of her. Someone just sealed those lips. From afar, you might even think she is a Mannequin, but she is Alive.
