Poorvi was working late that night as her boss appointed an urgent task and asked her to complete it by tomorrow morning. After she was done with the work she check her watch, it was 1AM already. She was packing her things up to go back. It's been quite a while since she was this tired. She only wished to reach home as soon as possible and hop up on the bed to get some sleep. As she was about to leave, a man's voice called out her name. She turned back and found her boss behind her smiling at her. He insisted to send her back and as she was already dead tired she just agreed. She thought that it's already late and she may not get any cab and even she found one she wasn't sure if it would be safe. Least she wasn't in the mood for a fight. She told her boss her locality and asked him to drop near entrance and she can just walk home.

At first, after getting into the car she didn't noticed that the man sitting beside her was staring at her until he places his hand on one of her lap. She reacted a bit violently to that touch while she didn't feel any good. Her boss apologized with not a bit of sense of regret in his eyes. She started feeling uncomfortable sitting beside him in his car.

She asked him to stop the car. They almost reached her home, just a kilometre more and they can enter her locality. He stopped the car and asked her what happened. She unbelted her seatbelt and opened the door and said "we almost reached near my locality, I'll just take a walk home." She said and got out of his car. There was no way she could stay in that kind of atmosphere, specially when the opposite party was her boss. The man got out of the car too and followed her. Her called her out and asked her to stop but instead she started to run fast.

She was already tired and didn't had strength to keep running. She just wanted to reach her locality to get rid of the man following her. The man was tall and had alot more strength than her so he caught up with her and grabbed her wrist tightly least she would run away again.

She tried to free herself but failed against him. He was way too strong for her. "Now you can't run away from me." He grinned.

"What do you want?" She shouted as loud as she could looking into his eyes. The gaze in his eyes was like a hunter looking at his prey. He grabbed her top and tore it apart.

'I have to do something, I can't let this happen, I can't let him do anything.' she thought and collecting all her strength on her right knee she kick him hard. "Bi*chh!!!!" He shouted with pain and loosen his grip on her.

On the instinct, she opened her bag and grabbed the pen she usually keep with her. The man gathered all his strength to grab her arm. His eyes turned red in anger and lust. She closed her eyes and with all her strength she swing the hand in which she grabbed that pen tightly and pierced into his neck.

The man fell down to the ground and layed motionless.

She understood what that mean..she killed her boss, she actually killed someone. Though it was an act of self defence, she killed someone. She put both her hands on her forehead, not knowing what to do next.

After thinking it through, she took out her phone and dialled a number.

"Hello ? Police ?" She said in her broken voice.

"Yes madam, tell me what happened ?" Answer a male officer. She felt uncomfortable while talking to a male officer so she asked for a female officer. The male officer called the incharge of that station who was a female and had a strong personality.

As she answered the call the girl broke out in tears. She was in no condition to answer any questions of the female officer. The officer understood that it might be a sort of rape case. She asked her subordinates to trace callers location. The officer traced the location of the caller along with her name.

The named showed - Poorvi Tiwari. The female officer head to the location given by her subordinate along with a few more officers. When she reached to the place, she saw a man's dead body lying on the ground and a girl sitting on the ground buried her face in her folded knees and hands and crying. The female officer gave a glance to other officers who came along with her and walked towards poorvi. As she reachednear her, she bent down, caressed her head and called her "poorvi?

The girl looked up to the officer, she was glad that it's an officer not anyone else. When poorvi looked up, the officer realised that her top was ripped off. She signalled the person behind her to bring her scarf. Poorvi hugged the officer and cried even more as soon as she saw her. The officer gently patted her head to calm her down.

An officer brought the scarf along with a bottle of water. The officer tooked the scarf and wrapped around poorvi. After she calmed down a bit, the officer offered her water. She drank half of the bottle.

"Are you okay now?" Asked the officer in a gentle tone. Poorvi gave her a nod. The officer sighed and continued "if you feel alright then can you tell me what happened here ?" Poorvi looked at her and told her everything in her broken voice.

The officer ordered to take the dead body and sent poorvi back to her home. She asked her to rest at home for a few days and give her a call if anything happens. And left for the station.

The officer reached the police station and was in her cabin sitting on the chair and thinking for hours. Her working hours completed quite a while ago. Finally a watch gaurd came to check on her and asked if she is all right and reminded her about time. She asked him to bring out all files on rape cases. She went through all the files until morning, after finishing up she thought alot about it.

Early in the morning, she went home to freshen up. She got ready in her uniform as usual but it was different, and the difference was that today she had meeting related to yesterday's case. She prepared herself for the worst, but she ought to not let poorvi suffer anymore. Yesterday was already hard enough for her. She went to the commissioner to talk about it along with the forensic doctor who was incharge for the autopsy of the dead bodies.

She told everything what happened yesterday and then the doctor handed the autopsy results to the commissioner. What poorvi said was indeed true that the man was killed because of the pen pierced in his throat. But they lacked evidence that he tried to rape her. The commissioner asked the lady officer to get more information related to this case so the girl could get justice.

It was already 1pm when the officer head out of the main branch office. She thought to check on poorvi and head towards her house.

When poorvi opened the door she was shocked to see officer who helped her yesterday. Poorvi got dark circles around her swollen eyes like she had cried all night and didn't even sleep a bit. She welcomed the officer inside and ask for anything she would like to drink.

Officer sat on her sofa and said with a smile "a glass of water please." As poorvi went to fetch water, the officer looked around the living room. She noticed trophies, medals and certificates on the wall. She got up and went to look. At the same time, poorvi came with a glass of water. The officer lift the glass on the tray poorvi was holding and said "thanks."

"Well I should be the one thanking you for yesterday, mam." Poorvi said with a faint smile on her face.

"My name's mehek, you can call me that." She said after finishing the glass. And then continued "are these yours ?"

"Yes, when I was a teenager I liked martial arts. And these are from boxing in college."

"Pretty impressive, no wonder you were so brave yesterday."

Poorvi just smiled because she was out of words for that. Mehek sighed as continued "it's okay, everything is alright. I promise to get justice for you." Poorvi gave her a smile and nodded.

"By the way, do you live alone ?" Mehek asked.

"Ah..my parents went to visit my grandparents, so I'm alone right now."

"Oh..I see. So, I should go now. Take care and have rest."

"Yes...thank you for your visit."

"It's my pleasure." Mehek said and left.

3 days later, with all the evidence related to poorvi's care was represented in the court. The judgement was obvious, Poorvi was proven victim and due to her bravery, she was awarded. It was in the headlines of every news paper, but as per her wish, her identity was kept secret. Poorvi was ready to continue with her job. Just that she had never expected that she would be expelled. As the police told her company about the matter, they all blamed poorvi for it. The reputation of the company tarnished because of her.

The president of her company called poorvi to his office and told her to resign by the end of the day. This hit her hard but what can she really do ?? She said nothing just nodded her head with her head down. The president sighed and asked her to leave his office and hand the resignation letter as soon as possible.

A while later, she handed her resignation letter and left the office. On her way back she met officer mehek again. Just by looking at poorvi's face, she could guess what might've happened. Although she's the victim but the society won't treat her fairly just because she was a girl. She has to suffer from something so horrible, but still people will try to avoid her because of their shitty thinking.
