Science says that every woman carry her eggs since the day she was born so my mother too. I was there with her the whole time unknown, unrecognized. When my mother was growing up I was still there. Then she met my father and then I came into existence, I got an identity. Now not only my mother growing, but I was also growing too in her womb. I heard everyone saying they are happy with the news of my arrival and they are waiting for the day to pick me in their arms. I was so excited to see my mother, father and the world around me. But there was something more than worst waiting for me than I could ever have thought of. I heard my father was telling my mom to abort me as he didn't want me. I was confused that why he didn't love me anymore, why he didn't want me anymore.


And when the truth was revealed, I was shattered to pieces. I was shattered to know that he didn't want me just because I was a girl child and he had always dreamed of a son. I heard my mother crying, trying to protect me but all in vain. She finally gave up before my father's obsession of son. But I still didn't lose all hope, after all, he was my father. He would not do any harm to me. After some time I felt that we are going somewhere. I was shocked to realize I was at the hospital as I heard their conversation with the doctor. At this point, I lost all my hopes and also I was really scared. I wanted to live but I didn't know how to tell my father and mother that I love them, I wanted to see them, I wanted to see this beautiful world. After a while, I heard nurses preparing to tell my mother to follow her. They were preparing to start the process.


And now it was the time for the process. The doctor started the process, she started to cut me piece by piece. I was in pain, a lot of pain. I want to tell this to my mother but I was unable to. With every piece that the doctor cut not only me but my soul was dying. I was thinking to figure out what was my mistake. Then I realized my biggest mistake that I was a girl child. I was rejected just because I was a girl. No all my pieces were out of my mother's body. '


My life less amputated body was thrown away just like garbage. Now I knew the society's norm if it's a girl child, it doesn't have any right to be loved, to see the world. I was also loved before I was identified as a girl child. The day my identity was disclosed I lost my right to be born. Or u can say I was murdered by my family, by the stereotype thinking of the society. And the hypocrisy is my father who denied to accept me for my gender forgot that he was also born from the womb of a mother. That being a girl doesn't change my DNA. But now I'm happy that I didn't make it to the world. Because the world which is too cruel to kill me before I was born just because I was a girl child could have done much worse to me.
