An Afghan Girl

She was born in a upper middle class family Laila was her name given by her father Her father had four wives accordingly, She was not welcomed there. She was only a girl in that big house Rest of them were her brothers She had to stay inside like a tiny mouse She was allowed to study a few letters. Liala had a high ambistions for study When she became fifteen A show maker who was fourty already Wanted to get married a girl under eighteen. When Laila heard that news She was collapsed from the sky Because she had different views She started to cry. But her sound could never reach to her father He was completely silent, There was no one to support her She lost her mother who was a serious patient After a few days she was got married She left her father's house forever She was determined, She would never come back here. After couple of months she became pregnant, Her husband was expecting it would be a boy For having a boy her husband was arrogant, But it was dead before touching the toy. Three more times the same thing repeated, Her husband told that it was all Lailas fault She could't say anything but cried, She suffered a lot before being an adult.
