“Mummy, Papa, everyone misunderstood me. I wanted to live, but as long as he is alive, I cannot live. He has been doing wrong things to me for four years. I know my pain.

I am dying, but have taught him a lesson before. After taking revenge, now I am going too. Everyone thought him to be an innocent guy, but he has given me a lot of pain. He used to call anytime to have sex. I got him the expensive bicycle he has. For this, I stole from the house. Mummy-papa, please forgive me…”
