Domestic violence

Bird
It was one fine morning she was still in her bed and her mom was telling her to get up. She was so in love with her life because she believed that she had a perfect life
Obviously what else should she wish? She had a perfect loving caring family. They always treated her as their princess. Princesses never did their work with their own hands and so did she
I am Aliza Imran a 23 year old energetic, full of life, enthusiastic girl and I love my parents a lot
The door opened, "so there you are sitting drama queen, get up!" He howled at her grabbing her hair and lifting her face up
He said " Are you deaf?" Can't you hear me? Get up bitch"
She wipes her tears while staring him right in his eyes
He shouted again: " What? What are you looking at? Low your gaze or else you won't be able to see again.. understand?"
She got up and walked out of the room
"Mom just a minute! Hold on am coming!" She shouted while she was still in her bed
"Nusrat! I want you to take care of her
Madiha ! If you need anything just inform Nusrat and she will provide you that"
She gently told her while holding Madiha's hand
She walked out of the room. She was heading towards her office. Her personality was so chrismatic, Confidence was the key element of her personality, She was more stronger then mountains, she was like a snow... Cold and beautiful...!!! There lies a whole world need to be discovered within herself...!! She was an amazing mixture of strength, courage, sweetness, love and hatred
"Ok! Ok! I am here u don't need to hurt your throat mama!" She said while sitting on dinning chair. She then grabbed an apple from the fruit basket
"Aliza! When will you understand that you aren't a kid anymore! Grow up darling soon you are going to be a married woman and I fear your childish behavior will cause you trouble" said her mother while staring at her
"And mama started again..!! Baba! "
She asked her father to save her from this regular lecture of her mom
Her father was reading news paper he folded the news paper and put that aside
"My princess is perfect she don't need to change herself for anyone" her father said to her mom and Ahmed is an educated, well mannered gentle man he won't force anything on our daughter he will take good care of her" father added while she was enjoying her breakfast
She went to kitchen. She fire the stove. She felt that this flame was burning inside her. She wants to burn everything, everyone including herself. She was at the stage of self destruction. She holds the knife in her right hand while looking at her left hand's wrist. Her eyes were filled with salty waters
Ok... Send them in..!! She said to the person listening her on the other side of the telephone receiver
"May I come in ma'am"..!!A decent guy knocked at the door of her office and asked for the permission
"Yes! Azan come in" she said with a pretty smile at her face
"Ma'am meet Mr Ehsan and Mr Ishaq they wanted to meet you and they wanted to ask you about your work" Azan told her
"Aliza! Please check your dresses if they are lose or tight then tell me or else you will b crying at the last moment that your dresses aren't good enough" her mother said
She wore her lehnga (the dress which she selected for her mehndi function)
She was looking ravishing in that outfit. Eyes of her mother was filled with tears
"My doll is all grown up..!! I'll miss you darling..!!"Her mother kissed her forehead
She was about to cut her wrist, she was about to cut all ties from cruelty, ugliness of this world...!! Her blood was boiling and so was the milk on the stove...
The meeting ended Mr Ishaq and Mr Ehsan went out of her office. "Ma'am.. I " Don't you dare utter a word" Azan tried to say something but she intrupted She was so angry... "Next time never bring such pathetic people to my office... Bloody misogynist..!!" Understand?" She ordered Azan " ok ma'am.. sorry ma'am" he said and left her office
Everything was so beautiful, whole house was decorated with flowers and lights, everything was so bright but this brightness wasn't enough to eliminate the darkness of her life...
She was ready in her bridal dress, it was her special day and she was looking absolutely gorgeous in this attire
The moment he saw her he felt breathless, he forget where he was, he was so lost into her that he was unable to take his eyes away from her
She was all shattered, she was not a coward then why should she run? She decided she will face it, she will win this war at any cost. She threw the knife away and gathered herself. She was fond of the idea of "Phoenix" "The bird that arises from it's ashes" So she became a Phoenix
"May I come in Sir?" She said " Yes come in I was waiting for you" he said with an evil grin
"I have an important assignment for you miss Aliza. Please go through this file and be ready for the next meeting you are going to give them a presentation" he said while passing her the file
"And listen please wear some nice for the meeting" he ordered
She didn't understand what he meant by that... So she just walked out of his cabin
She was sitting on the bed waiting for her groom... It was her wedding night
She felt butterflies in her stomach... There were mixture of feelings she couldn't explain, she was nervous and she was blushing...
"Azan..!! I want you to handle this case... I want those culprits behind the bars" she said with anger in her voice
"Ma'am..!! Sure we will win this case we have strong evidence" said Azan
"Baba..!! Baba..!!! She shouted, she was crying she was a mess
"Baba...!! Please don't leave me, help me please"
"How are you?" She asked
"Am happy to see you fine" she replied
"I promise you won't be staying here for long time" she assured her
So the door finally opened... Somebody came in... He wasn't even in a state to stand still... He was so drunk that he fell straight on the bed
She screamed..!!
"Shhshhh..!!! Why are you screaming? I haven't even done anything yet to you" he said to her while putting his finger on his lips and with an evil smile on his face
What happened to you? She asked hesitatingly
"Nothing! Look am fine, am alright" he said while trying to sit properly
She tried to get off the bed and change suddenly he caught her wrist
"Where are you going?" He asked
"I am going to change my dress" she told
"Oh no no..!!" I'll help you in that
"No..!!" She said loudly
"What no? It's your duty, your obligation you have to satisfy your husband
You are refusing me? Your husband?
It is a great sin..!! Don't you know? Goof!"
He told her about her religious obligations while he just had alcohol
He dragged her to the bed... He pushed her on the bed while she was crying and wasn't ready for this... He tore her clothes and her soul... And fulfill his desires while putting her soul on fire
She couldn't believe that this has happened to her... She didn't dream about this why these roses on her bed turn out to be the thorns that caused her deep scars on her soul
Her body was aching, her heart was bleeding, her soul was screaming...!! She wanted to run away but she wasn't even able to move...!! She was shattered into pieces...!!
She gathered her strength... She got up and she get out of her bed... She washed herself but she couldn't remove all the dirt that was on her soul...!!
I am Aliza Ahmed 23 years old married woman who just got raped by her husband and I am not full of life instead my heart and soul is full of scars, wounds and pain
"What the hell are you wearing?" He asked her angrily but in a low tone
"Who told you to wrap yourself in so much clothes?" He said
She was shocked to hear this "But sir this is how I normally dress"
"Exactly that's my point this ain't a normal occasion darling" he said
He put his hand on her shoulder slightly caressing her.. she felt uncomfortable and avoided his touch
He smiled at her hesitation and said "darling you will get used to of it"
"No!! "She said loudly
"No means no"
"Don't you dare touch me again or else I'll rip apart your hand from your body" she screamed at the top of her lungs
And it was his turn to get shocked at her reaction
He was going through her cell phone and he said " hmm!! You and qaiser seems to be pretty close? Aren't you?"
"What are you trying to say?"She said
"Oh you know very well what I mean or you want me to say it?" He said while he winked at her
"No I don't know what are you talking about" she shouted
"Ok shameless bitch! I am saying that you are having an affair with your cousin is that ok now" he shouted too
" How low will you stoop? How disgusting are you? He is like a big brother to me" she said she felt hurt
"What nonsense he isn't your brother" he said
" You enjoy going into his bedroom while you disobey your husband" he said
She was speechless she don't even want to answer the rubbish he was uttering
"Here it is... My resignation I don't want to work here" she said
He didn't expected this
He caught her wrist and pulled her towards him grabbing her by her waist "No darling you can't leave like this" he said with evil smile on his face
He threw plate on the floor and he yelled
"What the hell is this" don't you know how to cook properly?" Tell me what is this?
He grabbed her hair and asked
She was crying and pleading " please leave me you are hurting me"
"Aww it hurts you? He put his lighted cigarette on her hand" and asked is it hurting you?"
Her eyes were full with tears and her skin as well as her soul was burning with the ashes of cigarette
He was forcing himself on her... She was trying to free herself... She slapped...!!
And she said " don't you dare consider me a weak woman, If a woman have strength to give birth to a man so she can have strength to destroy him as well"
She screamed...!!
He tried to caught her again she stepped back and said "I said don't you dare come near me I have evidence of your harrasment so it will be better for you to let me go" he stepped aside leaving her way
She walked out of his cabin but she returns
And she slapped him again and said "This one is to remind you not to do it again to anyone else" and she walked out of his cabin
Mama... Baba... I miss you so much
She was crying while missing her parents I can't share this with you I don't want to hurt you... May you both live long and happy she said and kissed her parents picture.
"Hey! Bitch where the hell are you" he said he was drunk again
And she knew what was coming her way
"Aha! There you are! Oh come my sl*t satisfy me, make me happy" he said
She wanted to hide somewhere. She hates this humiliation
He grabbed her wrist and carry her on his shoulder and threw her on bed..she hates the taste of his lips and his warm breath on her bare skin seems to be like a burning coal on her body...
The smell of alcohol was unbearable for her... He played with her dreams, life, emotions and body... He used her and then threw her away
"Where is my jewellery?" She asked
"You are asking me?" He said "who else lives here?" She answered
''I am not answerable to you and never ask any questions to me again" he ordered
"Don't tell me that you sold my jewellery for your drinks, drugs and gambling?" She asked angrily
"Ok as you say" he said while shrugging his shoulders
She was again in a state of shock
She left her job.. she don't know what will she do now... She went her home
"Shabana..!! Come inside feel at home"
He was drunk and he wasn't alone this time, His girlfriend was with him too ... And they headed towards the bedroom
"This is enough...!!" She thought angrily
She smacked the door with full force and yelled "open the door"
He came out... He wasn't wearing anything..!! He asked "What's the matter with you?" What the hell are you doing there" she asked
"Are you blind can't you see? What else would us be doing other then making some love?" He said
"Oh! So you wanna join us?" Come come we will have fun"
He said while holding her wrist
"No I don't want to come" she resisted
He laughed "ok as you say" and please now don't disturb us"
She screamed again "So you sold my Jewellery and spend all money on her?"
He with angry expressions on his face said " Yes i sold your jewellery and I spend all money on that whore'" what will you do now"? "because this whore can't satisfy me" he said while pointing at her
"You hate my touch so I have to think about something else or someone else"
And he closed the door leaving her behind
"Why aren't you at your job at this time? He asked isn't it your office time?
"I left my job" she said in a low voice
What? You left your job? He screamed
"How will I manage home now? How will I pay for my drink and drugs? I need money understand" while grabbing her hair he howled
"Boss was harrassing me" I am not going to do that job again" she told her decision
"You won't go for job? Hm? He unhooked the buckle of his belt and he took it out" so you won't obey your husband" you know disobeying your husband is a sin"
She was all in fear... And he started beating her brutally with his belt... He became deaf to her screams
The Phoenix inside her decided that she should not tolerate this inhumane behavior anymore
She went to her room and packed her bags... He came in and he saw her packing her things he asked "what the hell are you up to?"
She told him her decision " I am leaving you and your home I am not going to stay here anymore"
"Hmm... Is that so? Then darling I assure you that you won't be able to cross the main gate of our house"...!! So stop this nonsense I won't let you go anywhere" see how loving your husband is"
She ignored him and continue her packing
He grabbed her hands and dragged her towards the ironing stand he put hot iron on her hands she was screaming with pain and it was so pleasing for him
"Nusrat! How's she now? That acid attack victim Madiha!" She asked
"She is feeling well now ma'am"
"That's great... You have to take care of her" every single person present here is really important for me" she said
"We know ma'am that these women are very dear to you" Nusrat said
He was watching TV when he saw somebody was talking about women empowerment and the concept of women being independent
"Independent women...!! Huh bullshit" he gave his remarks
"Women are born submissive and their only duty is to obey" these feminists are the parasites of our society" these types of women will rot in hell" he said while looking at her as if he was telling the value she had"
She was staring at him..."Women are not some kinda show piece in their houses so you better do your work too" he said
She was expecting... She felt so happy... After an year she felt this way... She thought this will end her sufferings...
But she was wrong... He was Satan under the skin of human... He beat her with stick and he kicked her stomach so badly that she felt she couldn't survive through this pain... She had a miscarriage and Dr said she won't be able to cinceive again
It was so devastating for her... She couldn't believe she won't be able to give birth again
His attitude towards her become more inhumane he use to taunt her that it was all her fault. She wasn't a responsible mother...
One day he came back home drunk again
She was sure about what was he up to... He called her on the bed and she didn't responded...
"I knew you won't come... What a lazy ass bitch you are...!!!"
"Come I'll take you to the bed" he said
"No..!!! I won't go" she shouted
"I am not obliged to value your refusal" "so just cut this crap and come with me" he took her to the bed...
He undress her to see her skin but was blind to her scars... He held her hands above her head but wasn't able to get into her heart ... He was crushing her dreams, her idea of happy marriage because for her it wasn't more then a myth, he crushed her emotions as well as her body.... But he was not able to crush the "Phoenix" born inside her
She got an idea... She thought it was now or never... While he was enjoying her body and telling her how ugly she was... She hold a glass vase in her hand from the side table... She gathered all her strength and hit his head with full force
His head was bleeding he was abusing and cursing her but as he was drunk and injured he was unable to stand properly...
She thought it was best moment for her... She should take full advantage of the situation... She hold the stick and she started beating him... She was so angry at him.. she was feeling releaved after so long... He was injured and in a bad state...she wore her clothes... packed her bags... Wrapped herself in a long black shawl... Locked him inside the room and she left his home...!!!
The bird was finally out of its cage...!!! This feeling of freedom was priceless for her...
I am Aliza Ahmed...!! I am 25 years old...!! I am a free woman and I don't care what anybody else say or thinks... I don't know about life but I do know that I am fearless...!!!
She headed straight to her parents home...!! She wasn't allowed to meet or talk to her parents in these 2 years...
She rang the door bell..!! Watchman opened the door... He was astonished to see her... She came in... She was crying.. she was unable to control her tears, her emotions...!!
"Kaka..!! Who is there at the door" her mother asked but was surprised to see her there...!!
"Aliza!! My child! What happened? Why are you crying and where is Ahmed?" Her mother asked her
She told her parents about everything... From their wedding night to the current night... She told them everything...
Her husband always told her parents that he has sent Aliza abroad for higher studies... That's why she can't come or have contact with them
Her father was so angry after knowing this truth he was ashamed of his selection for his princess
Days later.... he couldn't handle this stress... He took this to his heart... And died of a heart attack...!!!
"Baba...!!! Please don't leave me..!! Open your eyes baba.. !! Help me please" She was crying and calling her father
Her father died... He left her...!! Her strength was shattered once again..!!
Her husband starts threatening her...!!! He had her videos and pictures which he said he could make viral... She couldn't believe he was recording all this stuff...!! She couldn't believe she married a psychopath... How somebody could be so disgusting...!!!
Her mother knew all this situation... She invited him for tea at her home...!!
Aliza don't even wanted to see his face but her mother convinced her...!!
He came to her parents home...!!! Her mother greeted him with a smile
He asked " Mrs Imran where's Aliza"?
To which Nadia Imran answered "She is just coming" "would you like to take some tea or coffee?"
"I'll have some coffee if you insist so" he answered with an evil smile
Her mother handed a cup of coffee to him
Aliza entered the room after few minutes...!!!
She saw him choking, he was unable to breathe properly, she was worried she asked "what's happening to him"
"Nothing my child! He's just having the after effects of strong coffee" said Nadia Imran
He fell on the ground... His face turn red... He was breathing heavily... Suddenly some whitish foaming material started oozing out of her mouth... His hands stop moving and they rested at the floor... His eyes were wide open and were static, no movement at all... His heart stop beating...!!
The coffee was poisoned by Nadia Imran and Aliza Imran was finally free...!!!
"The mother bird hunted down and sacrificed herself for the baby bird's freedom"
Nadia Imran surrendered herself and told the police about this whole incident.
Few years later...
Aliza pursued her career in law... She holds a degree in law... She was managing her father's business... She was a well known business woman and she was doing social work too... She had an organization that helps and works for women and Aliza Imran won many cases related to women in court too
She appealed to court to lessen her mother's punishment... Court accepted her appeal and her mother was sentenced 14 years of imprisonment
She came to meet her mother once a week...
"Mom only 4 years are left... You won't be staying here for long... I am waiting for you... I am counting days... I could never thank you enough" she said with tears in her eyes
"You are my brave daughter... I'll be there with you soon my love" her mother gave her a soft smile
She went straight to her social center
"Azan ( her assistant) Is your case ready?" She asked
"Yes! Ma'am "he said
"I can't afford to loose this case" she said in an ambitious tone
Nusrat (the care taker of her center) Take care of yourself and other women
She had women from broken families, broken marriages, orphans, raped souls, faces burnt with acids, sex workers and many more in her social center "Parindey"
I am Aliza 38 years old woman, I believe cruelty and benevolence are shades of the same color it's up to you with which shade you want to color yourself and your surroundings, I am an "independent woman" and no independent woman isn't a myth, I believe that women can fly to the highest of skies, I am fearless, courageous, confident and I am no bird and no net can ensnares me...!!!

This is a harrowing story with a powerful message friend! The only thing I would say is that the message is in danger of getting lost as it's a little hard to read.

You may want to change up the formatting a bit, maybe put in some line breaks between paragraphs and so on! Just to make it a little bit clearer!
