Standing on the stage I was waiting to be sold. Yes you are right . I was waiting to be sold. Nobody forced me into this.Nobody threathened me to do this.It was a self made decision. If you want to blame someone you may blame the circumstances. I was doing this for money . I needed it urgently, for him. If I could not get this money he could die.
Trust me there was no other way.
This was my first and last option.
Slowly the curtains lifted and I could hear people cheering. They were all staring at me with pure lust in their eyes except one. And when I looked clearly I saw my bestfriend staring back at me . His eyes held so many emotions . The most prominent one was anger. But the biggest question was what was he doing here . I know him very well. He was not into these things.
Now I was feeling embarassed as I was standing naked at the stage. Before a few seconds I didn't feel anything except nervousness because the people who were looking at my naked form were unknown to me. But now there was my best friend seeing me in this situation.
A volunteer of the slave house started the bidding. Slowly I could see people raising their hands and bidding for me.The price got higher with each hand raised. I didn't care about what price I had to pay for this.( The price being my body,mind).What I cared for was the price( money) I was going to recieve. It should be atleast sufficient for his treatment.
Coming out of my thoughts, I stared back at the crowd. I spotted my bestfriend again. I knew what he was thinking. Why didn't I approach him before taking such a big step. Why I didn't ask him for help.The answer was quite simple. I knew he would do everything for me but how would i pay him back. And if I could pay he would never accept it . Becauz that's what friends do right. They help each other without asking anything in return. But he had already done enough for me and I don't want him to do more. I just wish that someday I could repay his favour.
The voice of the volunteer brought me back from my thoughts. I was finally sold . But to whom? As I was lost in my own world I didn't knew about the person who bought me.The volunteer told me that I was sold at a high price . 1 million dollars .That was a huge amount. He also told me that my owner was at the backstage waiting for me. And now as I walked towards the place I felt my heart beat accelerating. Who was the man who paid such a high price for me. Who was the man with whom I will be spending my entire life.....
