Was there anyone ask to be born?
It was never been our decision.
It was not our decision to make. To be born that way.
Isna, is 13 years old girl who has mental disability. She
was never wanting to be born like that. But, what does she know about it?
Her mother never want her to be born. She tried to abort
her since she was 4 months old fetus. And then at that day, 13 years ago, she
was born, as an autism. Her mother left her, she never wanting to take care of
her or grant her as a daughter.
Isna live with her father and 2 sibling. Older brother and
sister who’s embarrass of having up-normal little sister. Her father, he is on
his late 40 years old age has no idea of how to raise an autism daughter. All
he know is only about feeding her with his own hand, let her wash at the river,
and let her play at the ground to just let her recognize her own undefined
world.
Isna and her father live at the small house in Ubud. Every
day, just to ensure Isna feed enough, her father takes her to Puputan ground at
the center of Denpasar City. After feeding her, he lets her play at the ground.
Isna will play by her own at the ground. No friend or anyone who recognize her.
There was a day when her father found her tied up at the pillar on this ground. And
then the other day, there was a fact that he found her daughter was sitting
down inside the drainage, someone must push her there, and
abandon her so she can’t get out. It seems like there is nothing he can do to
raise her daughter properly. There is nothing except accepting what he has on
his life now. He has no clue on how raising a child like this.
He has never asked about
what happen to his daughter.
No one does.
Nobody wanting to be
born like her.
Nobody wanting to be
autism.
What happen to Isna is
one of the fact that there is big chance to help ourselves. By helping her.
At least trying to
help her.
I’m a sinner, try to
write a letter and ask for help. Please help her.
