'Take care Vedika. And if you need any help regarding your medications you can always call me.'

'Thank you, doc!' I nodded at her.

We reached home. Along with Pappie, Maaza, Manan and all our friends too had come with us to my house. I had no energy to do anything. I was tired and exhausted. 

'Pappie Maaza, I am tired, I am going to my room to rest.'

I had so many questions running in my mind, but did not feel to ask anyone. 'How did Pappie encounter them?' 'How did they find me?' 'What happen after I passed out?' 

So much to ask but I cannot. Everything happened because of me. If I had not talked to un-u- to that man like that  his-son-w-wo-wouldn't- "Dare you talk like that"

I started crying. NO!! I am sorry please, I am sorry. I won't misbehave. Please, don't do anything to me! 

'Vedika! Vedika!....It's me,Manan' I hugged him and said 

'Manan, plea-please tell him not to touch me please!'

'Vedika, no one is here. Don't worry. I will not let him do any harm to you.' He said in a soft tone.

'Now, get up. Wash your face, go.' He instructed him. I did as he said.

'You want some me time?' I nodded. You can call me if you need anything. I am going downstairs, to get our dinner, okay?

'Manan, I don't feel like eating.'

'Neither do I. But we have to. Because we don't want to look like skeletons, now do we?' I did not answer anything. 

'You will be alright. In fact, there is nothing wrong with you. You are perfectly fine. The only thing is, the fear in you has overpowered you and your smile.'

'Manan, me time' I reminded him and he just sighed. He went down to get our food. I closed the door.

I started thinking about all the incidents, since when I was a 7 year old girl to till date. Where did all go wrong? Am I really wrong? Was, being a girl, so bad? Does my clothes matters, this much that it leads my own cousin to harass me? Why am I making such a bid deal out of it, it was not like he raped me. Shit! Because of me they are in jail. My dad, is wearing a sling arm because of me, after my wedding Annirudh and Unnati were gonna get married in the next week after mine, my mom is always crying and looks vulnerable. Everything, is because of me.

I walk towards my drawer, to find a blade or any sharp object. I finally, find a blade. I don't deserve to live. It is going to hurt but you deserve it, you deserve for ruining so many lives.

'THROW IT RIGHT AWAY.'
