My mother has always been an amazing person to me at least.
My grandparents moved to this country when she was 6 years old. My mother was always loved by her father but her mother was always cold towards her.
My mother was always willing to learn new things.
When she was 7 she was handling all household chores. Growing up she did all kinds of work.
When she hit 16 . She was absolutely beautiful.
Boys would be following her here and there like butterflies around a flower . She was beautiful, her grades were amazing, she was popular, she was always helping other. She was perfect that's why someone got jealous.
One day she met someone to borrow a book and that was the starting point of rollercoaster ride of her life. The woman she met that day was a witch and she made my mother sick of book , schools, everything. That day onward my mother couldn't take a single glance at book and whenever she did she cried.
Her parents decided to take her to treat and thought education comes after health. Yeah I totally agree . But what we never expected was the betrayal from her mother and her brother.
Her mother took her somewhere she never had been before and forced her to get married to someone stranger.
My mother had no any choice. My mother her all life never had been in hills. Yeah as you expected her life was not easy.
She did her best to survive there. She would work all day and get home to be raped by her own husband and beat her to pulp.
At least her mother in law was supporting her but alas her husband's siblings and himself would beat her as well.
She had her first child at 19 and second at 21 but it wasn't easy.
She would get a chance to get back to her father's house whenever she was pregnant but her mother was cruel and cold.
After delivery she would have to go to jungle to gather woods.
My mother always complained if her mother was never her mother. She always wonder if she wasn't her real daughter. My mother never had enough milk for her children.
As she was back at her father's house she wanted to settle there and not return to her husband's house.
That's why she started sewing and even bought a sewing machine but it didn't even lasted long as her own mother sold it and forced her to return.
Some how she was living for her child.
She had no hope .
She was living as if she is dead .
At least she left her first and second children with her mother in fear that he would throw her out of the window like he did one day when he was drunk .
Finally, I was conceived. All my mother's children were never out of love . She her husband never stop beating her. And this time she thought if she still kept facing this shit then it will keep happening her entire life and with courage and her eight months unborn, she left with the promise in her heart that she will return on the day he die.
That day she was finally freed.
Was she really though?....
