Chapter 3

" Kas, are you ok?" Dani was the first to catch me the moment I trip and nearly fell onto the ground. She pulled me up straight and she could see the terror printed on my face. " Kasvini! What happened?" Kishan who just took a step out from the toilet next to the kitchen was curious of my unusual behaviour.

I couldn't talk for a moment. My mind was running in circles.I tried to absorb what I just saw and understand them. Why would she show me those scars and bruises she has? Didn't she go through the security checkpoint before boarding the plane because if she does, she would have been sent to the nearest hospital for treatment? Besides that, why didn't the dad look concern of her? Why? She is his daughter!

Wait! Unless her dad raped her and torture her in a serious manner or the father I thought wasn't the girl's father and he lied about it. I turned around with Dani's hand on my shoulder and looked at the rows of people in front of me. I even raise my head up high, move left and right just to be sure the father or someone else is not looking at me because I am going to report to my chief for what I just saw.

"Kas! You're acting weird! What just happened?", Dani shook me on my shoulder while I looked away from her.

I turned my head around and saw Aloy has just returned from the back wing of the plane to entertain the calls. I looked at all three of them and I took a deep before bursting it out, " I believe I just saw a rape victim!".

" What?!" Dani sounded shocked and let go of my shoulder.

" Are you sure?" Aloy gaped his mouth to stare at me

" Do you know where the victim is sitting?I will have a walk through the aisle and will confirm what you see is true. If it is, we will have to inform the NYPD to get ready their forces and also an ambulance with an NGO that handles such issues to be ready the moment we touch down in New York. So tell me where she's sitting and I will do what I can," Kishan asked me.

I told him " Row 11, seat A and B".

He nodded and walked out from the kitchen. The moment he left, Dani start bombarding question at me, " What if the rapist noticed you have done something? What if he decides to bring the plane down along with him because he knows that there is no escape when he lands? Why didn't the security did a proper check up? How can they even let a rapist and the victim pass through them? Did she have bruises?! "

I interrupted as I couldn't hold back," Yes, she had a few bruises on her face, scars, stitches on her hands and the marks of a chain around her neck that must have been tight on her".

" How can he do that to a girl? " Aloy blurted out while he messed his hair up. " Well,you're a guy! You should ask yourself that!," I fired at him. " How does a rapist related to me?" he wonders. " Well you should know since you want to play two girls at once!," I wiggled my head. "Oh! I see where this is going" he started to sound angry.

" Guys! I am so sorry! I think he notices me checking out the victim!" Kishan looked disappointed with a hand on his forehead and the other on his hips.Upon hearing the news, fear creeps into our face.
