Dear Noor, I am happy and Sorry. I feel like I am sorry more than I am happy. Sorry because some psychopath with daddy issues brutally butchered you and no one could do anything. Sorry because he took your fate in his hands like he were some God. I feel sorry because just like 90 percent of the men in this country, he was raised with this idea of never getting to hear a “NO” in life. Maybe he was raised or maybe he was like that. Who knows? I don’t know whether it was his mother who taught him that he is a man and thus it is his ultimate right to get whatever the fuck he want. I am sorry Noor, because you couldn’t live to see the world becoming a better place. I am sorry that there was so much you had planned but you couldn’t achieve it. I am sorry that your one encounter with a man like him made you pay this heavily. Noor, I know it is not your fault. I am happy that you got what you got what you deserved; his death sentence. We all wanted that. In fact, we were very anxious because we thought just like Shahzaib’s murderer, yours will be released as well. I was so worried that we would never get to see any murderer or rapist getting the punishment that they deserve. It was you, whose blood became the reason that Pakistan witnessed a bloody psychopath being hanged to death. I still think it was an unfair price that you had to pay for the country. But at least we got him. At least he did not become another Sharukh Jataoi who came out of the court room with a filthy smirk and a victory sign. Noor, you became the first person (and saying person and not woman because there were many unjust murders done by people in the country on both men and women.) whose murderer got what he sowed. I am so sorry that you were killed, I wish you were not but what else can we do? Noor, I am so proud of your father, we all are. He is the hero, he is our hero, who fought for you like a lion alone in the battlefield. At least your father got to see him being sentenced to death. At least he can have a bit of peace now. At least your father did not feel what Shahzaib’s father had to feel when Sharukh Jataoi was released. Dear Noor, I hope you are living a peaceful life now. Dear Noor, I hope Pakistan will never release another murderer or rapist.

With Love,

Pakistan.
