DUA (Complete)

chapter 12

Dua's POV

My perspective about life was changing, I was trying to enjoy my university life alot now, talking and mingling with people was fun.
Anne was always motivating me and encouraging me, even though I did not need many frequent therapy sessions anymore and thats a great sign, my parents are happy about that but I just love going there and talking to anne.

Yes another good factor about life right now was erhan, the way he looked at me, the way he spoke, his mischeavous smiles, they were all apealing me much now. I really wanted to get to know him better and spend sometime with him but my inner consciences wouldent allow me to, neither I wanted to or was ready  to  open up to anyone as yet.
I wonder if I ever tell him about my past what would be his reaction!
Will he look at me the way he looks now, will he pay attention towards me like he does now..
Whenever he is speaking to me his eyes show very prominent expressions, his eyes were damn beautiful and expressive.
Scared of all the after effects I had shut myself in a hard shell but I was also aware that I was now slowly and gradually opening up.

The other day in library erhan had caught my attention even more positively, darn it he was looking handsome when he cared for me.
And the day when public transport was banned he turned out to be a saviour for me, baba was out of city at that time while fahad had gone to Pakistan. I did avoid sitting beside him even though he was upset over that but in these matters I was vulnerable, just unable to trust anyone easily.

When mom made pizza I offered to go and give it to erhan, mom was happy with this positive change in me.
Erhans expressive eyes showed tremendous happiness seeing me outside his house, he even offered me to come in but that was something I would never do if in my will. A man , may it be a seven year old boy or a seventy year old uncle , a male was just not to be trusted, avoid being alone with them, thats what ai had learnwd from my horrendous experience but my rebel heart was just being pulled towards erhan.

He handed me a box of chocolate and I just couldent deny taking them.
That night was a bliss.

I had shared my feelings with anne and she said it was a good and positive sign, if I was feeling comfortable with a guy rather than my father and brother. I haf come to realize the world was beautiful. People were nice , monsters like hashim existed but world was way more beyond that.

Fahad had gone to Pakistan for hashims case date, that had been happening since years, new case hearing would occur and only his jail days would be prolonged, fahad was after this case not leaving hope, he had appealed for a severe punishment that could teach lesson to these jerks so that no one would ever think of doing this hideous act.

Hearing heart breaking mews about so many brutal rape cases happening these days in Pakistan would ache my heart and i would shake thinking of what they would be going through.
Pondering over this me and safa had made a facebook page for the rape victims to come forward and share their stories, shame the asaulter and so that we could all make a difference and send an apeal to the government for the ammendment of strict rules and laws.
Till yet the response was very negative. Few girls that actually camw forward to share their harassment stories were actually again harassed in the social media by so called shareef (decent) people.
They were apparently ready to blame victim and her dressing, her going out of house at wrong time and what not.
"Getting frustrated I posted that I was at my own house, I was raped there..now people, what are you going to blame me for? Get a life you all!"

That did stir people alot. And after that many positive responses started pouring in and I really wished and hoped my efforts did pay off and make a difference.
