She took a step back. Only then I realised that I did a disrespectful thing that too harshly.
/THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT GIRLS? YOU MF-/
"See... I'm sorry, I didn't meant to do this, it was a involuntary action. I-"
I cutted my sentence in between seeing her stepping back.
/You scared her again/
"I genuinely wanted to thank you for saving me that day and yeah I'm so sorry too about the things that happened in the hall. Please forgive me I really didn't knew anything about that. If I knew I would've stopped them. It's my fault." I said genuinely feeling guilty.
"It's ok." She said these two words before turning to go back. But I held her wrist, she stared at her wrist with widen eyes and retracted her hand back with a jerk.
"You should not touch me." She uttered, " Why?" I asked,
"Cause I'm a relish." She whispered, maybe to herself but I heard it.
/No way you're telling me that they practiced untouchability too!/
This ofcourse made me angry, first the gender inequality and now untouchability, I was wrong to think my nation was a bit too advanced.
I held her hand again , but not in a firm grip, she is so fragile. She again tried to jerk my hand away, but I didn't let her.
"See.. those people got no brain. We are all humans And I don't believe in this touchability or untouchability.
Soo, Friends?" I asked, retracting my hand back but extending it again for a handshake.
She stared at it, but I pushed my hand further in the air , she extended her hand too shaking with mine and gave me a small smile , atleast I got a friend here.
