Abhinav's pov:

I stayed there right next to her till Rakshan called me...I walked to the balcony and picked his call..

Abhinav: Sollu machaan..

Rakshan: Election result vandhuduchu..You are the student representative and mechanical department secretary naa..

Abhinav: Seri da..

Rakshan: Nee varalaya??

Abhinav: Illa machii veetla iruken..Ellarum ingaye vandhurunga..

Rakshan: Enna da aachu?? Sollavum maatra voice um dull ah iruku..

Abhinav: Nee veetuku vaa solla vendiyava solla ready ah irundha ketuko..I'm not someone who's gonna talk about it..

Rakshan: Deii serious ah edachu prechanya??

Abhinav: Aama machii..

Rakshan: Seri iru varom ellarum..

I stayed beside Thara..And they reached home in around half an hour..They had spare key so they came through the main door ..they knocked at the door and I opened the door for them..

Rakshan: Enna achu??Thangam enga??

Abhinav: Thoongura..

They waited till Sitara woke up and she was startled to see all of them in her room at once..I pulled her into my embrace calming her down..

Rakshan: Thangamm enna aachu da??(angry)Deii enna da aachu alara??

Pugazh: Thangachii..

Her usual anney was missing today that's because she freaked out and was crying in my embrace..

Pavi: Chellakutti kaluthla mark enna da??

She was quiet as if she didn't hear anything..Saranya sat beside her on the bed and caressed her hair and she pushed off Saranya's hand..

Abhi: Sitara...Ma kelu ma..

Sitara: Abhi..bayama iruku Abhi..

The only voice she was responding to was mine..

Abhi: Ma..Anga paaru vandhurukadhu un annangalum annis um ma..Paaru ma..

I caressed her hair and pointed towards them and she did look at them..She took her time looking at them and she soon slowly got out of my embrace but she held my hand tight..

Sitara: Anni...

She hugged Saranya first ..And cried..

Saranya:Onnum illa da..Chellam..it's okay..it's okay..

Sitara: Anni Aa..Aad..Aadhi..

She pointed to the scar and cried..I just looked at everyone having a shock look..She never left my hand and I could understand her fear..When a women faces harassment it's never that they can't get scared and cry..It doen't mean they can't become weak..They will and they'll need time to heal.They'll need a constant support..But that doesn't mean they'll stay where they are in a world of fear..They will come back stronger and for that they don't need judgemental people who disown women..But it's the time they need support to fight..Never disgrace a women just because she was harrassed..It isn't her fault it's the fault of this society that doesn't support when you need them the most..It's the fault of the society that never teaches the men that women are not toys that you can play with and harrass..There are only few parents who teach men to respect women..Not all men are the same but still there do exist a few men who have a worst mindset..

You know what's the new trend the blame game..
There are a few women too who falsely accuse men on such cases..They take advantage of the only fact that they are women..And because of those few women the entire clan gets humiliated..

It's not them but as parents one needs to teach both men and women of what's right and what's wrong..Or it can even be the surrounding nature they grow in..It depends of how easily they can get influenced..Keep you surroundings a positive universe for the others to get inspired by the positive and negatives..Dont teach women that getting harassed is a shame and disgust..Teach them to fight back and also that they are women who shouldn't take advantage of being a women similarly don't teach the boys at home that women aren't a play thing or meant to be haressed..

A real man isn't violent and a real woman isn't tolerant of it..Priyanka Chopra's words..That's the truth..

Consent is very very important in whatever circumstances it might be..A man or woman doesn't have rights over you to do anything to each other without consent ..It might be one can be your wife or your husband

This is ethics..This is culture..

Sitara will take her time to forget that Aadhi tried to force himself on her and also that he left a mark on her neck..Just like her scar she'll also heal and I'll be there we'll be there with her throughout..

Saranya consoled her and asked her to bravely complain and she looked at me..I told Saranya that we aldready did that and Aadhi is dismissed and she took her time to talk to each one of them ..

The next day we reached college and guess what Aadhi's friends were standing in the entrance blocking our way..I asked Sitara to stay in the car while I got down and went ahead..

Abhinav: Enna da venum ellarukum..

guy1: Enna da ..Enna lam aatam aaduringa..Aadhi jeika kudadhu nu dhana kevalama oru ponna vechi avana dismiss panninga..

Guy2: Nee dhana da adhellam panitu Aadhi mela pali ah potinga..

Guy 3: Thuu..Enna da pesitu irukinga adichu norukunga da..

I got to the car's trunk and took the spanner from it..Innaiku ellam en kailah adi vaangama poga maatanunga..Cheiiii..**** sethinga da ellarum..

And that's how the fight started..15 people on the opposition..Pugazh Sharath Rakshan came forward breaking bones..That's when Arjun saw this and joined us ..

Arjun: Enna vam?

He asked punching a guy's face..

Abhinav: Ivanunga soldranunga..Sitara va harass pannadhu

I ducked to the guy who came towards me with the stump..

Abhinav: naanam ..Aadhi election la jeika kudadhunu naa pali ah avan mela potenam..

Then punching that guy's face I continued to reply to Arjun

Arjun: **** saavunga da..thuu vekkama illa..

That's when we heard the sound of glass breaking and I turned to see one guy breaking the window on Sitara's side and she was shivering in fear..

Punching the guy I was handling 4 times knocking him down I went to hit the guy who broke the glass..

Getting hold of the spanner I dropped a few minutes ago I hit his head and he fell down..I opened the door

Abhinav: Sitara..Thara..It's your Abhi ma..Unnaku onnum illa vaa inga..

She just hugged me from inside shivering..I caressed her hair letting her calm down..By then the principal was there and everyone of us stood like what did we do ..We did nothing..We are innocent people..

Principal: In my office in 5 minutes..Every one of you..

He glared and walked away..We finished our work and reached his office..And explaining to him about our "SELF DEFENCE" We got escaped..he checked the cctv and let us go but those who came got screwed..

Getting back to the class I found Sitara sitting in her place alone and holding herself.. I sat beside her and Pugazh sat beside me followed by Sharath and Rakshan..

I whispered sweet nothings to her and what was to happen the teacher threw both Sitara and me out of the class for disturbing his class..
