My name is Amber. yes,the name which has the meaning of jewel.
my parents say this was given to me because when i was born i was beautiful like a jewel. i was also proud of the fact that I'm the most beautiful one among my family,friends and neighbours. i was also the one who receive all the attention of my family. because of it my big sister started to take me as an eyesore.
since everyone call me beautiful from childhood i also started to think I'm the most beautiful and become arrogant. but as the time went by my illusion also broke. i started to understand my situation. i noticed the resentment my sister have towards me, the awkwardness my so-called friends felt with me, the gossips neighbours did behind my back and last but not the least is the filthy, nasty and lustful eyes that stared me.
you know what,
whenever our family went to see a boy or should i say a groom they would always reject sis because she wasn't as beautiful as me. so her resentment could only grow deeper and deeper. then again i never blamed her for it, it's not her fault.
whenever i went out for work the women's of my society would always stare me and gossip among themselves. their talks were like this "look at that shameless girl, walking around and seducing men's" yes, they always said things like that.
also whenever i went out for groceries the nasty and filthy eyes stared me, boys teased me, girls bullied me and many things.
after some months, my graduation ceremony was complete and i was successfully able to get a job interview in some well known companies. it was the day i passed the interview and got the job of a manager. i was happy that i got the job but even though i had qualifications to be the manager but most of my colleagues avoid me thought that i gained position because of my face.
it was a fact, that whenever i gained something people always this "look that girl is gaining so much just by showing her face "
i always felt bad that people only see what i am from outside they never tried see what i am from inside.
now let me tell the most depressing part of my story,
some day later, i got late because of over time work. it was around 1am at night, i left the office and started to head towards my home. in the way someone suddenly grabbed me from behind and took me to at an alley.
it was a remote place. i was scared. i saw that 3 man's were standing in front of me and just by looking at their face i could've tell that they were upto no good.
i was scared to death........i wasn't able to utter a single word.........and.........just like that.........the three of them raped* me...........i screamed till my voice break.........i called for help desperately........but.........no one came........also.......after raping me........they threw acid on my face..........and ........i fainted.it
after that incident, i was unconscious for days. when I gained consciousness, i found myself in a hospital.
some time later, i saw my face was ruined, my body was covered with bruises.
i was so broke that i even though of doing suicide but then a old couple stopped me and consoles me for a long time.they gave a feeling of protection and it was a warm feeling, which i never felt. after some time, i calmed down, they told me that they found me at that alley, also that the incident which happened with me was known in the whole country and also that my family disowned me and everything. i was sad for a moment then i thought it was expected after all they cared for me all these years only because of my face. so it's expected. after that the couple asked me if I i could be could be their child or not. at first,i was thinking that, why would someone adopt me since my face and body is disgraceful now.even my birth parents disowned me. i asked them, why, and they said, "child we don't have any children, so we don't know how it feels like to have a children, we want adopt you as our child and we want to how it feels like to have a children through you and don't worry we will treat you as our own child." i hesitate but after a long time they were able to make me agree.
after that i struggled a lot, heard peoples taunt, i just keep tolerating and struggled.but i didn't give up and tried. i was ambitious to show people that outside is not important but the
also, with my adoptive parents by my side, i was able to walk towards my dream.
now, you see I run a big resort of my own and I'm successful.
