Chapter 10
At the village square.
It was just a large area of land surrounded by Young Trees and shrubs.
From afar, it looked like a forbidden Forest but when you get closer then you'll realize that it isn't a forest.
I was tied to one of the trees in the middle of the forest.
The place was now crowded with our village people.
Some were Sympathizing with me while some were mocking me.
The men there were cheering as they were very excited to see me get publicly disgraced.
Others were judging me with their eyes.
I felt so ashamed of myself though I was Innocent.
I wished that the ground should just open up and swallow me up but oh, well is that even possible?
Or is it just a figment of my imagination?
I wept but no one paid attention to me, they all looked at me with disgust.
Even my mom, who gave birth to me didn't support me at this point.
What was I expecting anyway?
When My mom who supposedly carried me in her womb for nine months didn't believe in me.
Who else will? Who?
I looked around to see if I could see someone who cares.
But no I don't!
My dad looked at me with hate and disgust.
Perhaps it's because the deal he made with Mr. Arnold didn't go well, because of what happened.
My so-called brothers
They weren't even looking at me.
They had their heads bowed, perhaps it's because they felt ashamed.
Is it due to their ego being hurt or what?
But this shouldn't be my fault!
I know nothing about all this! I am innocent for God's sake!
But who cares?
No one.
They only cared about, Rules, Money Power, and Reputation.
What a cruel world.
I wished I wasn't born here.
" Now it's time for Malisa Bree to serve her punishment. " The Prosecutor announced.
And immediately I saw the expectant looks from the crowd.
What were they expecting?
To see my Naked Body or what?
The thought of Revealing my birthday suit to anyone makes me cringe.
If that happens then I'll have no dignity!
There'll be nothing for me to be proud of!
I'll be Shamed!
What would be The use of my existence if this happens?
I wish I could stop all of this.
I wish I had some kind of Supernatural powers but I don't.
But wait!
When Jesus Christ was being Accused unjustly.
What did he do?
I remember now.
' Dear Lord, I surrender my all to you now, at this moment, I have no right to decide for myself, you said in your word that the body is the temple where the Holy Spirit dwells in, Dad, you won't let your holy temple to be tainted right?
Dad at this moment, let your will and not my will be done in my life, Plead my cause o Lord. '
I remember my favorite verse from the Bible.
<< I'll lift eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and Earth. >>
' I love you Dad, I believe now that my case is settled. '
" Strip her naked, now! " The Prosecutor announced and soon I heard loud footsteps.
It was a Giant looking man with a scar on his face.
He looked very fierce.
He walked towards me and whispered in a Disgusting voice.
" I'll like to see how beautiful you are in your birthday suit. "
I shivered involuntarily hearing this.
He moved closer and before I knew it my red Scarf was snatched away from my neck.
" No!!!! " I screamed involuntarily.
" Shut up! What's there to hide again? , I am completely sure that your whole body is covered with hickeys. "
Despite my protests, he started Dragging the stripes of my dress and tugged harder at it till it tore.
Though I wasn't naked I already felt naked from the moment my scarf was removed from my body.
" Please let me go. " I begged.
" Let you go? Why would we? Weren't you aware of the punishment for your actions before you started fooling around? "
[ Hm, actually I stole this scene from an Indian film I watched Four years ago, The film was titled, Laali. ]
" Please...let ... me....go. " I stuttered.
Ignoring my pleas, the stripper Proceeded to Tear off the second Strip of my dress but before he could.
A gunshot was heard, followed by Several other Gunshots.
Then sounds of Hundreds of footsteps were heard
This made everyone pause as they were curious about the intruder.
Then a White Man...
Came into view, he was holding a small Ak47, the gun was aimed at the scar faced man beside me.
" Let the girl, go now! " He said in an authoritative voice.
" Who are you and why would we listen to you, White Monkey? " They mocked.
" It doesn't matter who I am but I can't stand injustice so it's either you let the girl go or all of you will die. " He said.
" You must be kidding, what can you do to us in our territory? " They challenged.
" A lot. " He replied simply and with his fingers he signaled the boys behind him and soon there was a Fierce fight between the foreigners and the blacks.
When the prosecutor Realized that the White Monkeys as he called them were stronger than them, they finally surrendered.
" What do you want? " They asked.
" Nothing much, I just want you to hand over the girl to me. " He said.
Silence descended between them for about five minutes, it was as if I they were contemplating.
" Fine, but you must promise not to disturb us again. "
" Sure. "
" You can take her now. "
" Hm.." The man just nodded as he walked towards me.
He loosened the ropes around me and after they came all lose.
" Don't fear, I won't hurt you. " He whispered and before I could comprehend what was going on, I was carried Princess Styled in his arms.
Due to this, The strip of my dress that I was holding fell a little bit before I could think much, I was wrapped up in a warm blanket.
He then started walking.
I saw him ascend the stairs of a Helicopter with me in his arms.
And this was the last thing I knew.
Perhaps it was due to exhaustion or anything but I just lost consciousness.
