“My good looks are a curse for me….”
I am a 17-year-old girl. Angel name was given to me as soon as I was born because I was born beautiful like an angel. Everyone calls me with this name and admires my beauty except my father. I don’t understand all the praises when I was a kid. But as I started growing up I feel good about this. I live in a joint family.
Things were good when I was a kid but when I entered in my teens, I saw the anger on my father’s face when someone says good about me. He asks me to go inside. He never allows me to play outside with my friends. I always use to scold me for no reason. When I was 11 he slapped me as I was playing outside with my friends. I didn’t understand why he hit me. I was crying badly. My neighbours have asked their kids not to play with me as he gets angry at them as well.
Every daughter is his father’s angel but my story was completely opposite. My father is the only son and he does nothing. He sits in the home all day, scolding my mom for no reason. My grandfather is the only earning member of our house. If ever my mother asks my dad to start some business he ends up beating her. Now she has given up on him. I also don’t talk to him.
He wants me and my mother to be house ridden. He always says me, be inside the house, don’t you dare to go out otherwise someone will through acid to your face. I am just fed up of all this nonsense that he keeps imagining in his mind. I am about to finish my school and want to study further. He is in no mood to get me to a good college.
My mother has sacrificed her life but I don’t want to do the same. My mother has some hopes for me. I feel my beauty is a curse on me. I feel bad about me looking beautiful. What is my fault on this? This instance of my life is unbearable. I don’t know what should I do?
