Where Dreams Going to Start...............................

Before starting my story, I want to say something. I have heard this from one of my friends. We were talking about the condition of the girls and the current status of them. This story was happened five years ago. I was not able to write this story as it is. There is some modification. Sorry for that but the theme is as it is. Read this and comment what you think on this topic…I am waiting for your response…

My name is Anita. I am a second year medical student. I am a very simple girl and dream and think like other ordinary girls of my country. I was born in Rajshahi in a middle class family. This family is my rhythm of life, music of my day. I was brought up in a very open minded family. In this family, I have learnt how to live life, lead a life. My mother is a person who is my idol though she is a simple house wife. My father is a govt. employee. With my younger sister I had a nice happy family. I used "had" in my past sentence, because actually it was. Now my family is an almost destroyed family. Do U know why? That is because of me…. (Crying)...

I was a first year student of H.S.C... I was a topper in my school. I achieved lots of awards in my student life. But that time was very horrific for me. When I think about that time I am not in mine. Just asking question to myself what’s my fault and the fault of my family ? For that we r suffering from these types of life time difficulties….. None can give me the answer….

The story started from the first day of my college. My college is a combined college. That’s why there is no boundary to mix with boys... But they never attracted me. But as a girl, I was attracted by them... I have some female friends who are also from my same school and they were really close to me. One boy noticed me from the first day of my college…he was planning to convince me… he was one year senior to me. He had a bet with his friends that he would have me anyway or at any cost for some time. For his purpose he also convinced my friends who were very close to me that time….I was thinking they were my good friend…but alas!!

I was enjoying my new college life. I like to travel. When I got time I tried to go for a trip with those so called good friends. After about 9/10 month, I got a trip with my friends. The place is little far from my home as well as Rajshahi town. The place was so beautiful. The day was also nice; but that beautiful day gave me a lot of pain for my life. We were 6 friends there. One of my friends took us in her cousin house. The house was very near to that place. As we were friend I have no doubt to go with them, though I was not familiar to her cousin. The house was so calm and quiet. We were given juice and some cookies. After having juice, I did not feel well. The scene was so imprecise to me. But in that condition, I saw that boy in the room. All of them were laughing at me. I realized I was trapped by my friends and something was going to happen.

For 3 hours, I was unconscious. And those 3 hours take everything from my life. That boy raped me, as his expectation got me anyway for some times. He won his gamble. But I lost everything. When I got my sense, the boy was with me; friends were not there. He was smiling and looking at me. He said me, “sweetheart, you are so good to test”. My eyes burst into tears. I was crying, did not understand what to do, where to go. In that condition, the boy told me that, his friends already informed not only my family but also those who know me well. I was trying to sort out myself and back in my home, but didn’t know how to go there. He proposed me to go with him. He said, “I won what I want; now it’s my responsibility to see you off.”

Within half an hour I reached my home. My neighbors were watching me if I were a clown. My dad did not ask me anything. Mom was crying and my sis had no word to say. I went to my room. After an hour, my father came to me. He said me, “dear, I know you, I trust you. I know what happened was not your fault. You are not this type of girl. What I have given you that are not so worthless. Don’t worry but never commit suicide. Show those coward guys that you can fight. You are strong enough to stand against all odds. Prove that you are a human being.” I don’t know how a father inspires his daughter in such condition. Mom came and embarrassed me crying. Today I can realize that what they did that time. After that incident, it was so difficult for us to lead our life in the society. That coward always gives us threats. We lodged case against them but there was no action.

In spite of all odd situations, I completed my Higher Secondary with great honor. I again topped in the college. In my result day, everyone around us was shocked. All of them had one question, how can it be possible for me to do it? My parents were the proudest parents. Till now I have threats. But now I am going to establish my career with honor and pride. Though I know much more difficulties are waiting to come and hit me... let them come… I will again fight. I will fight against all odds and I am confident I will win all my rights to dream about my life which I get because of my parents. God gives me, the best gift of the world…now I need nothing...Now I am in that position from where a new Dreams Going to Start...
