To my mom… 

Mom,

         long 8 years has passed.. I disappeared from that world.. from everyone’s mind.. from all the media coverage.. They got new lives to show case as victims.. They got new gossips to pass on.. But you… Even today you are holding my invisible hands.. you are praying for me.. you are crying for me.. smiling for me.. you are fighting for me!!! 

     You are the best mom.. even though they killed your motherhood,,even though they poured acid on our dreams.. 

    That 15 years of my life.. it was short but I could touch your heart.. I could feel your affection.. you proved me that a mother can be more than a mother.. you remember mom when I told you I want to travel around the world.. Next day evening you came home with a great plan..

 “we are going to Goa Scarlet.. it’s in India.. we are gonna have the best vacation ever”

You were more excited than me.. I remember you were so happy because you were trying to make your daughter happy.. make her dreams come true.. 

 But when that dark shadow of death touched me?? When the fate decided to turn her face against me.. we were enjoying our holidays.. we saw the sunset.. we played.. but that sunset was an invitation to my death.. my sun set that day for ever with a scream of helplessness… 

When they tore me apart I cried silently.. I tried to save myself.. I called out for help.. but … Those masked man were safe under the shade of night.. They allowed me to drown to death.. 

        I know Mom, since that day you are fighting.. It’s not only my life they ruined but yours too.. They not only chopped my wings but yours. When my fate chose me to be the victim of their hunger you were chose to be the living victim of their knives.. 

Why we need a world like this mom to create more mothers and daughters like us? Yes mom all of us are scared to sleep.. scared to close our eyes.. I saw those red violent eyes .. mom I pray no other girl will see those red eyes again.. even though the owners of those red eyes are free and everywhere.. 

You were my strength.. you are my Justice.. the best mom.. 

                         Yours loving

                         Scarlet

                         From heaven
