Now my mom had to work with Mohammed. She hesitated at first, knowing that he was not the nicest person. With what little she had seen of him, it was him yelling, picking fights, treating his workers in hotels like shit. But the prospect of making some money was too tempting to resist.
So she accepted his fate and started working with him. At first, everything was fine. Mohammed was polite and respectful towards her, even though she knew he was only hiring her because he needed someone young and attractive by his side.
With people coming to the hotel and ogling at her , Mohammed decided to make mom wear sleeveless and deep neck salwar. I remember that day mom came home and started shaving her armpits. I remember that thing like it happened yesterday.
As her shift increased to 16-18 hours , she started to sleep in her hotel itself, she moved her stuff into the room which was in the basement, and I had to move with her. she used to make me sleep below the reception counter.
Demands for her at that time were through the roofs. Policemen, politicians and the political workers used to hurl lewd comments at her . They always bargained with Mohammed to start her into the business too. But Mohammed refused saying she is a widow and had a son. Mohammed wanted people to be attracted to mom , but never thought of pushing her into prostitution. She was incredibly popular among the young sons of politicians. Passing comments on her body, trying to touch her from the counters. They forced Mohammed to make her remove her pallu from now on , as they liked looking at her cleavage. So mom used to wear her pallu at other times , but the moment she saw the politician’s sons she removed them as they threatened her before.
But as time went on, things started to change. Mohammed began to make crude jokes about her looks and body, which made her feel uncomfortable.
She always preferred staying out of all these things and just do her job.
After the election, The result came in favor of the party that Mohammed favored. This led to widespread political riots by religious extremists. Mohammed being muslim ,his restaurants and hotels were targets of hindu extremists , so was the hotel. One day the hotel got attacked.As Mohammed became a target of Hindu extremists. He was forced to flee his hotel, leaving my mom behind. The extremists were looking for anyone who dared to defy their beliefs, and they found her – the most beautiful woman they had ever seen.The extremists wouldn’t let this opportunity go.
One day, as the political riots began.As Mohammed became a target of Hindu extremists. He was forced to flee his hotel, leaving my mom behind. The extremists were looking for anyone who dared to defy their beliefs, and they found her – the most beautiful woman they had ever seen.
They stormed into the hotel and began to destroy everything in sight. Mom hid under the counter, terrified for her life. She knew what these men wanted from her, but she refused to give in to their demands.
