Late that one night....

Posted on at


I was feeling trapped....totally dismayed with my own stupidity to come out this late at night to a world where women are not free to go where they wish...I was alone in my dorm room the entire day...all my friends went out as their families and friends lived nearby...and I was totally new to this city...so I had to stay alone all day...people say india is united and people are united but people here have discriminated themselseves more than the world has discriminated them..as I came from a different state people here dint entertain that much..I felt sad...a melancholy set in my heart and fearless thoughts crossing my mind one moment and the fear took over me the next moment....I was hiding behind the bushes..while those drunk men kept looking for me...

      If I dint take any action quick and fast it wont be long before those treacherous monsters would take over me..before this I only read about such incidents but now I was actually facing one..I dint know what to do..calling out for help would be stupid as I dint see a bare soul around and shouting would mean leading those men to me...so I waited...waited for my dire fate to save me..called the almighty with all my might...

     All kinds of thots like running to a safer place oor shouting till my voice cracks oo going and begging them or telling them that I belonged to a very powerful family and all crossed me...but I dint have the courage to leap forward...so it happened like it had to...one of the men found me and caught me by my hair..I tried escaping but his grip was too strong...I screamed with all my might...but I was slapped repeatedly and with such force that I had to give up..I kept crying and started to beg those four men to leave me for gods sake...I tried all that I could...

     Just when I thought I had no other option but to end my life after this incident...a miracle happened...few men who took care of the dorm section where passing by...by seeing me like that over there..they came running and one of them quickly called the police..they had a big tiff amongst each other and all this time I was half awake..shocked and moved from the incident..I could make out that police had come and they took those men in their car and they came upto me and asked me where I lived and all...that's when I realized those men who took care of the dorm dint kno I lived there..they helped me out as a stranger..someone who dint know but knew that I dint belong to that city..that's when my idea about these people changed..no matter what no matter how divided we might look to people but when some danger comes up we are united..we are one..I was shocked for many days but at the same time I was pleased to have found a home to live in...
