Diaries, damn grey days. Rape

Hi I'm Ruth

Have you ever felt like you just fell into a deep black hole all in a sudden?

I was good, in fact, happy, but as sunday came, something happened.

I have a friend named Gopika who lives in Kerala, India. She is my facebook friend and I only met her on friday, in a fan group called half-blood Camp.

I asked her whether she has a boyfriend or a crush. She answered yes, a crush, and her crush likes her too but he isnt her boyfriend just because he dont trust boys. When asked why she said its a long story.

I made her promise into telling me why. And she did.

The reason behind all these is because she is being raped by her 1 neighbour and a couple of cousins. When asked whether her parents bother, She said no. The two parents are drunkards.

And the boys, they make her drunk, force her to drink alcohol before they rape her. It all began when she was 10, and she is now 13. Three years, can you believe it? Such sad life!!! I hate those people.

I asked her why she doesn't want to tell other people, She said she is ashamed of herself. I said there's nothing to be ashamed of. I asked her to be brave, To tell others. To make this thing a big thing. She doesn't want to.

As I am in Malaysia, I really can't help her much. I want to tell my parents but she doesn't allow me, and i am scared too.

She doesn't allow me to tell anyone. But I still did to try to help her. I told all my friend that I can trust, that lives in India. They also wanted to help but in the end, no solution came out.

The next day, my another friend asked her for her adress. He didn't know that this was supposed to be a secret between me and them. So Gopika was seriously angry at me for betraying her trust.

But I did not regret it. I just want to help her. If anyone that reads this post, knows her, Gopika Shaji, please help her. The police, media, etc. Anything.
