DQ#1 Thousand Reasons Why

Better To Be Unrevealed

Aradhya's POV

" Chhoti, tumhe paata hai aaj kya hua?" (Chhoti, do you know what happened today?) Dee asked me and I smiled.

" Nahi, aap batao kya hua aaj?"(nope. You tell me what happened today?) I asked her.

" Pehle tum batao tum yese duvet k andar kyun chhupi ho? Bahar aao." (You tell me first why have you covered yourself with the duvet. Move it aside) she said.

" Nahi nahi. Main thik Hoon. Yese hi thik Hoon." (No. I am fine. Absolutely fine here) I said to her and she looked at me weirdly.

" Do you have allergies which you are trying to hide from me?" She asked me. " When you came back I noticed that your cheeks and neck turned red. You were in hurry to take a shower. So, I couldn't ask you." She said and pulled the duvet away from me and she looked at my face weirdly.

" Yeh to lag rahi hai kisi ke fingerprints hai, chhoti. Sach sach batao kya hua. Main kuch bhi nahi bolungi. Kya tumne apni dosto k sath jhagra kya aur woh bhi yese?" (This seems like someone's finger prints. Tell me what happened there. Don't lie. I will not scold you. Have you fought with your friends?) She asked me and I sighed deeply.

" No, Dee. Yesa kyun karungi??! Sach main allergy Hain." (No, Dee. Why will we do something like that?!! This is allergy for sure.) I said to her. She kept looking at me suspiciously. I gulped inwardly.

" Medicine le liya na?"(Did you have the medicines already?) She asked me.

" Haan na. Medicine le liya." (Yes. I had it) I said to her.

" That's better. You sleep now." She said.

" Tum kuch bol rahe thay na, Dee. Kya bol rahe thay?" (You were saying something, Dee. What is that?) I asked her.

" Let's discuss about it tomorrow." She said to me.

" Lekin!!!" (But..)I was saying but she stopped me.

" So jao." (Sleep now) she said and I sighed.

" Ok." I said. " Will mom be late today?" I asked her.

" She is staying there today." She said to me. I sighed.

" Ok. Good night." I said to her.

" Good night." She said to me kissing on my forehead before leaving my room.

I sighed deeply. Sorry for lying, Dee. I don't want to make you all worried. You guys already are in pressure. I can't be cause of another one.

I was thinking about the incident earlier. Asher was right. If you get scared in such a situation you will not be able to save yourself from the trouble. You have to calm yourself and take the right decision. We usually get scared and forget to think about the way we can protect us. I might save myself from that guy cause he alone. But if they were more than one??! I sighed deeply. Asher was right. Girls are not safe anywhere not even at her home. She can't trust anyone. Not even her relatives cause no one knows inside whom the the monster is hidden.

I have heard in several cases of r*pes the girl has been accused of wearing revealed attires to attract the guys. No one can tell a girl what she will wear and what she will not. It's you who has to keep your eyes away from them.

Ok, let's say for once that girls provoke someone to r*pe them but what about the kids who gets r*ped?!! You can't tell that they were seducing man to r*pe them. They doesn't even know the meaning of that. If this goes on then no mother will want to give birth to a girl. If they are not secured in this world then there is no use of bringing them to be the victim of those hyenas. I sighed deeply.

R*pe just can't be done by physically it can be done some other way. When men checks out a woman this that nasty greedy lustful eyes, it is no less then a r*pe. It keeps torturing a woman mentally. And women are facing that every day everywhere. At home, at workplaces, on the public vehicles. There is no safe places for a woman to be safe. There is no. I wish some day there will be a place where girl can live without any fear and enjoy the real meaning of freedom!!! I hope that day comes soon.

If we want to stop that then we have to start it from our home. We shouldn't teach our daughters to wear decent clothes only, we have to teach our sons to learn to be in their limits as well and behave well with woman. If we don't take steps today then the day is not far away when there will be no one to tie a 'rakhi' on their brother's hands. Tears can't buy you a sister. If you love your sister you have to respect other's sister too. Their sisters are as precious to them as yours to you. I sighed deeply.

Are we really safe anywhere??! I was thinking about it when my phone started to ring and I found it was Gabi. I picked it up.

" Hello, Gabi." I said to her.

" Hi, Ari. You left earlier?" She asked me. I sighed. I knew I have to face this question.

" I wasn't feeling well. I will tell you everything when we meet." I said to her.

" Ok. You take rest." She said.

" Ok, bye. Goodnight. Take care." I said to her.

" Bye. Goodnight." She said and hung up.

It's better that Asher and Ardeyn hasn't told anyone about it yet. I want to tell the girls about it myself. Who invited such a person!!! Who is he??! Is he Jordana's relative or her family friend?!! Who knows!!! But such a person is very dangerous for anyone around. So, they have to be careful about him. He may try to harm someone else again. I was thinking about it when my phone started to ring once again. I found it was Asher. I picked the call up.

" Hello, Aradhya." He said and God knows why I felt like he was standing there on the other side of the road before my balcony. But neither I asked him nor I tried to check. Some things are better to be unrevealed.
