A Silent Farewell: In Memory of the Girl Who Was Never Allowed to Live Her Life

 

A Silent Farewell: In Memory of the Girl Who Was Never Allowed to Live Her Life

She was not weak.
She was not incapable.
She was full of hope, quiet strength, and the kind of heart that deserved love.

But what she didn’t have—was support.

Not from strangers.
Not even from her own blood.

When a sincere proposal came, it was crushed—not by fate,
but by the jealous whispers of those who should have celebrated her.

They didn’t raise a hand against her,
but their words and manipulation were enough to stop her life from moving forward.

They made her a victim of family politics,
of ego, of comparison, and false pride.

And now… she is no longer here.

The girl whose only "fault" was being decent and hopeful
is now gone forever.

She has returned to her Lord, leaving behind
a house full of regrets
and a truth that no one wants to admit.

But Allah sees what no one else sees.

A Prayer for Her

May Allah forgive her shortcomings,
May He reward her patience,
And may He grant her a place in the highest ranks of Jannah—
Where no aunty can gossip,
No relative can interfere,
And no politics can break her heart again.

Ameen.

Afzal Ahamed Malik

Sometimes the real cause of a girl’s heartbreak is not destiny or delay...

but the family that chose to stand in her way.

May her story become a lesson for every parent,
every relative,
and every "well-wisher"
to reflect before they destroy a life in the name of family pride.
