A Victory


She was massively trembling from the inside. But no one could see. Huge waves of terror, shock, disgust were hitting on the inside of a frozen body of hers. The man whom she called uncle had spoken expressively about his 10 year old daughter some time back was now touching her inappropriately. On the last seat of the silent bus was a crime happening. A crime that could shake her belief in the people. Could she trust any other uncles in the future? What happened to the sweet talk he did of his own daughter? Could he not see his daughter in this 15 year old girl? While touching her how could he forget his daughter too had uncles and she too travelled in bus? But at that moment what should the girl do? I said shout aloud girl. She said “But no one knows me.” I said get up and go. She said “Where? He comes at my home also regularly. Is he really doing something wrong or am I just feeling it? I can’t understand.” And she sat there frozen. But then came a moment when his touch shook her soul. Something burned up inside her and she with full force hit him with her elbow in the stomach. He growled with pain holding his stomach. With the highest force she shouted, “Stop touching me, you dirty creature.” She was free. Everyone looked upon him as she walked from there and got down the bus. There was a victory. I, her mind never felt more confident.
