This Christmas

MY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST

There's a reason why I don't make my wishlists public. I prefer to send them to people I know would actually consider purchasing the items on the list.

It's been a great year for me. I've met some really amazing people but this is not the post for that. You'll get a 2013 post as usual. 

But since a couple of people asked, I only have 5 things I want for Christmas, New Years, Valentines, anytime till February really. 

1. Harrods Pamper Hamper

Child not bride

Argh... Argh... Argh... Those sounds had come to be normal in "her house".
"Her house" she scoffed, that was what he told her the first time she came here at 13.
How could this be her house? No brothers, no sisters, no parents...
Just him, and her "new family". They looked at her with pity but they didn't care for her.
Argh... Argh... Argh...

Ouch... Ouch... Ouch... An all too familiar sound. 'Shhh' came the usual response. Don't make them think I'm hurting you.
She tried to close her eyes shut to suppress the pain...
The first time he came to take her away, they told her he was there to take care of her, provide for her, pay her fees till after university....
They didn't tell her this part. They didn't say she'd be molested and make to cook and clean and wash his underwear.
She opened her eyes as he took another jab at her...
Ouch... Ouch... Ouch...

*sniff* * sniff* *sniff*... Don't worry my dear, you'll soon get used to it and you'll start enjoying it.
She didn't want to enjoy it or get used to it. The pain, the cuts, the bruises...
She always wanted to become a doctor. She had big dreams...
But that's all they seemed to be now. *DREAMS*

The tears rolled down her face. She was sore from day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
She heard the door open and she knew it was time again for another piece of her to be taken away at 13.

Never was but will always be

Their eyes met... Finally!

He wasn't what she expected but I mean, he was good looking. 

Average, dark, handsome, arty, political, everything she wanted. 

The guy with the good job, well spoken, good looking and single. 

Yes! He was single! Bam! Perfect! 

Now all she had to do was figure out what she wanted. 

That night, she met the crew, then they drank and danced...

The Russians came, hoping to ruin the night but they didn't. Thankfully!

He handled her with care and then some...

She made up her mind. She wanted him. She wanted him more than she'd ever wanted anything in her whole life. 

Hmm, dangerous territory. 

This realization scared her. She felt vulnerable. 

He liked her, a lot! Maybe. He thought she was beautiful, pleasant, it was er... Refreshing. :) 

But he didn't want her... Especially not in the way she wanted him. 

She knew!

This time, she wouldn't indulge. This time, she'd walk away.

But if he changed his mind, she knew she'd be there... 

Well, maybe. 

(Sometimes love doesn't work out, sometimes it's really bad timing...)
