A Foolish Girl In a Paper Bag

The story
I heard the story of A Paper Bag Princess, from a caregiver. It was the same story of my life, only difference was the princess of the story was so strong and empowered that she had the guts to reject the prince and started her life afresh. But here I the foolish girl was abandoned by my prince after he gifted me this incurable disease. The person with whom I left my home, parents and leaving behind a very comfortable life turned out to be an imposter, I trusted him blindly when he promised to marry me but instead he used to bring his friends along and forced me to serve alcohol and to dance in front of them. I had to please those men almost every night. I felt so naked even with clothes on! One day I felt sick and no one was around so I cried out for help and fortunately a police car was passing, they rescued me and sent me to a hospital and there I was diagnosed. I did not have any idea what was the meaning of HIV+ but this much I knew that I am going to die soon. I pray to God to grant me enough time and strength so that I can unmask that man before I die.
