The door bell rings
Mom goes and opens the doorMom - Aditi!, Disha is here
Aditi - D-disha?
Disha - H-hi AditiShe is one of my bffs, she is the most cheerful one but why does she look so stressed?
In my room
Disha- please lock the door
*I did as she said, as I locked the door and turned back, i was shocked to see her crying*
*I ran towards her and hug her tightly*
Aditi - Disha what's wrong? Tell me why are you crying so suddenly?
Disha talk to me please
Disha - Aditi h-he he
Aditi -He ? Who?
Disha - H-he
Aditi- Eklavya? Your boyfriend? Did you two have an argument again?
Disha - N-no
Aditi- Then? C'mon tell me what happened?
Disha- H-he asked me for....nudes, and as we were in a relationship from 3 years, you know i trust and love him so much, so I gave him but then recently i found out he was cheating on me and I argued with him and broke up and and......
Aditi- And ?
Disha - He is blackmailing me now
Aditi - H-huh? Eklavya could never do that,...i can't believe thisI saw her crying so badly, i tried to comfort her
Are all men like this? Do all of them only wants our body? They want us to do as per them and if we don't then they blackmail or manipulate us?why?
She calmed down, i told her that Eklavya could never do such a thing ( he is one of our classmates)
She went to her homeAt almost 3 am
I cannot sleep, Disha and Eklavya were in a relationship from 3 years, she loved him so much, trusted him so much. How could he cheat on her or even blackmail her?
*Sighs*
I still haven't told anyone about what happened with me. I am too scared, i really want someone now. But what if that person do the same with me? What if that person wanted to touch me too?
I hug my pillow tightly, i cried the most that night
"The only person who came to my mind was Pratik. He never made me uncomfortable, the way he looks at me doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, it makes he feel alive, it makes me feel good . He is different from these men. I wish he was here."
NEXT MORNING
It was just a few hours as i slept
My phone is vibrating. I open the chats"9+ messages "
What i see, shocked me so much, something i could never even imagine in my nightmareEveryone was sharing a poster
The poster headline-
"16 years old Disha karmakar's nudes go viral in one night"
N-no it can't be real
* I freeze, How can Eklavya do such a thing?*
The comments on the poster were disgusting and disrespectful, noone was defending her, they were talking shit about her, passing dirty comments on her body, asking for link . Noone is thinking about her and her family.
Is this what the society is now?
Every minute here in this society tells me how disgusting it really is.I drop the phone and ran as fast as i could, i didn't even notice noone was in my house
I went straight to Disha's house
I saw a bunch of people there, Disha's parents crying while holding their heads and thenWhat i saw was
Disha's body on the floor, a rope hanging in the fan, police near her
She did suicide
People near me are talking about her nudes viral news but nobody is talking that she is dead. How cruel this society can be? Nobody cares that she is dead?
"I wish I stopped her last night. I wish I didn't let her go home last night."
