Her rapist father

I’m not a friendly person but I am close with my relatives especially with my cousins in both mother’s and father’s side in the province. Now let me tell you a story about my third cousin who I will introduce to you in a code name Ayah. Before, I wish I could be like her because she was kind, humble, intelligent and admirable, until a worst situation being told by her took my attention and sympathize with her. She was raped by her father.

Every time we visit our province because we used to go there on vacation, I usually play with my cousins in the farm especially with ate Ayah who was lively and cheerful. She is the eldest among her brother who was in elementary that time and sister who was in kinder. Her father was hard-working like her mother. They were in the middle class in terms of status in the society. Her father always waits for her after school that’s why she didn’t have a boyfriend because she was obedient all the time. But one year after her mother has worked abroad, she changed. She became distant to us and we assumed that maybe it’s because she misses her mother’s care and love. My other cousins who I have communication with told me that ate Ayah always had bruises, didn't talk anymore and does not go to school. Actually, I was shocked and worried that time, I’m crying that’s why I told my parents that I need to go in the province because ate Ayah needs me. After that revelation in our reunion, my uncles immediately find ate Ayah’s father in his work. They called police men and ate Ayah’s mother. The news traveled fast in the barrio that everybody already knew about it. I don’t know how and when but my concern is that ate Ayah got worst, even auntie didn't know what to do with her. She had an addict boyfriend who even got her pregnant. Now, she lives with that guy and they had two children. The more they stop her, the more she insists being with him. My Ate Ayah entirely changed and it’s in a worst way.

I tried to talk with her so many times but she always runs away and that makes me feel bad. I hate her father because he’s the reason why ate became like that. She is not my older sister anymore who I admired and idolized.
