Honorable Killing(based on a true story)

"Every time a child is born, An angel gets its wing"
There are two ways to look at that quote
You can look at it as new life, new opportunity
Or you can see it threw my eyes, a life chosen, a life already spoken
You think everyone has a life from which they can chose of
Well your wrong
Every time a child is born, theres a future already chosen for them
I had to live my life a lie, knowing that as a kid i had to marry my cousin just to honor my family
It hurts me everyday that i have to marry a person that i don't love
But this is the life that my parents choose for me
I couldn't disagree because then ill be dishonoring them and then they would have to kill me
2 months before my wedding my sister ran away
She was raped by my uncle of mine
How do i know this?
One night at the dinner table
Me and my family, including my cousin, were eating and planing our wedding
Like always me and my cousin stayed quite
Then suddenly my uncle came crying and begging on his knees for forgiveness
He was screaming at us why he raped my sister
Like the culture we have and the relationship my uncle and dad had, they blame it on my sister
My parents were furious that there daughter lost her virginity before she got marry
They knew i was soon going to become a man
So they decided that i had to killed her
2 weeks before my wedding, my sister came back home
We talked for the longest, she cried forever, as morning rises, all u heard was a shoot of a gun, parents were up and they found her dead
My father already bought her a coffin so her funeral was our secret
Then came my wedding day
My time to become a man, to marry my cousin, came
I was waiting for her, everyone was waiting for her, for the bride to walk down the aisle
Then one girl came out screaming "the bride is missing"
We all went looking for my cousin
I found her dead behind the church and she had a silencer right next to her
I heard people coming toward me
I thought quick before my cousins family feels shame and dishonorable
I grabbed the silencer and shot myself
