“Despite all that was said, every single good I did was translated to €vil, you always promised me that the day you will speak, the world will listen and that gave me the audacity to carry on. Now I am brok€n because that day is never coming, maybe the stories will never end, maybe the bullying will never stop but I know and I’m grateful for the ray of hope you gave me even when you felt hopeless.”
Jasmine also added how the people who were never there for him during his lifetime were the same ones who repaid her good with evil. She noted that Mr Ibu never talked down on her despite everything, and he appreciated her till his last moment.
In her words:
“Every single good I did was paid In hundreds folds with €vil, from the hands of the same people who were never really there for you when you needed them the most but daddy you know what matters the most amidst all these accusations? You never talked down on me, you appreciated me till your very last moment.”
