Fictional Sceario!

Hello !
I am a 15 year old girl from Thailand !
I live with my family! We are 2 girls and a boy! I am the oldest !
We are not rich , dad says ! He and my mom work in the field , I work with them as well but my siblings are way too young to work!

One day my father's friend came to us and whispered something in myfather's ears ! My mother quarrelled with them but I couldn't hearwhat they were saying!

A few minutes later my mother forced me to bathe , dressed me nicelyand made me go with my father's friend who in turn gave my fathermoney ! More money than he ever had !My father's friend pushed me into the back seat of his car to sit next to a fine man! He must be European , that's what I thought then ! The man stared at me then put his hands on my breasts , I clasped my handson my chest and moved as far as the seat allowed me ! He came closerand put his hands on my thighs ,I wanted to get out of the car but wewere going really fast !

My father's friend looked at me through the mirror and said it was ok!
That man was my husband!
The man said yes , his fingers touching my lips and messing my hair !
" We agreed with your father about it and we paid the bride price , Ithink you saw that ! You are poor people and If you leave now we willtake the money back leaving your family to starve , besides thisgentleman will leave you with your family after some time ..He willvisit you whenever he is in the country but he will never take youaway from your family , he will take you to visit his country ,whatever makes you happy ! " said my father's friend !

On hearing that I was more tolerant of the man touching me .I stayed with him for a week in one of the finest hotels , not that Isaw many before, and then he left ! He left and I never heard of himever again !

I was prostituted by a man I trusted and sold by my own father and my mother !
The hotel was a whore house and I was locked up in there!!
What happened to that husband of mine ? I will never know !
Where we even married in the first place?
Was it worth it to be sold in that way?
Was the money enough?
How am I to get out of here?
I have never been outside of my village and leaving this hell hole is not possible!
How long will I give my body to a dozen of men per day?
Will I ever get over this?
Will my body pay for my freedom?
Will I ever see my family ever again?
Is it worth seeing them in the first place? they were the ones whogave me away in the first place!
A year later and all these questions rest , unanswered !
**********************
That was totally fiction but it has some truth to it !Human trafficking still happens , this is only one scenario !
