LET IT END WITH ME

I use to think that being sweet sixteen was the best feeling for a girl,with my hair to beautify,my nails to polish and my dresses to be beautifully made by grandma.
Reality dawned on me when at a young age I was subjected to suffering and complications mirrored by the same society which is to serve as my means of protection.Oh Lord! Does being a girl a crime,why do I have to go through series of pain where I can literally feel every practical thing done on my body for the sake of a man.
As I crawled out of the room where the herbalist conducted the circumcision, grandma came closer trying to console me,keep your head up high Muna,you are now a grown up woman who is ready to be taken in by a man,you are the pride of our family she said.
By the time we got home I couldn’t walk properly and I felt the world was rotating,the excruciating pain pierced through all my veginal veins,it felt like hell.
“Muna I swear on the grave of our mother I will deal with the people who caused you this pain and you are going no where to be raped again” was what I faintly heard in half consciousness before I dozed off.
The next day shanz and his friends were arrested by the royal guards for trying to dethrone the king who has since ages enforce the law on circumcision or face his wrath.
I took a note and narrated all there was and rushed to the outskirts of the village to find help and there was I as I right before the station and I was wet in my own blood.Admist the pain a voice from a distance spoke “you are in good hands ,I am the inspector of changiri village,her voice was faint but I heard her right, I knew it was too late for me,I reached for her hands and held tightly and I said with every breath I had left ” let it end with me”.
