This was a normal day, as always I had a lot of things to do like making presentation and checking some files. I was at the study table when a ball hit my head.
"Ouch" I shouted as it hit me.
"What the hell?" I said and picked the ball and stood up. I checked down from the window but there was no one. I wasn't assured by that so I went downstairs to check. There was no one. I looked at the ball, there was something written on it. It surprised me I decided to read it out.
"Why did you not accept?" It was written on the ball. I took some time to process and then rolled my eyes realising that it was the guy who has been stalking me for at least a week and today I have rejected him and denied to be his girlfriend. I remember I tried to explain him calmly a thousands of time but it was meaningless. I sighed and then I threw the ball on the ground. I was about to turn around, when suddenly I felt a sharp pain on backside of my head. "AHHH!" I screamed as a stone hit my head. I fell down on the ground and covered the part of my head which the stone hit.
My eyes couldn't see anything properly now, it was all blur and blur everywhere. I looked at my fingers which were covered by my blood with my blurry eyes. My eye leads were heavy to open, I looked up to see who hit me but before that.....my eyes got closed. I was unconscious.
"um!" I opened my eyes and looked around. It was my room. Suddenly I remembered the scene and sat on the bed with a jolt.
"Huh? I am here? How??" My eyes were already wide. I touched my head where I got hit, I could feel it was paining "but how did I come here?" I asked to myself.
I live alone in my house, maybe it could be my neighbours.
I got up to see and found no one in the house. "So strange" I murmured but I was scared already. I gulped and again went outside, this time looking at everywhere to everywhere in fear. Thankfully there was no one but it was confusing, how did I get there on my bed?
"Won't it be strange if I ask my neighbours about it?" I gulped again and thought to go inside but "it happened right? It's paining!" I said to myself.
I finally went inside and closed all the doors and windows in fear. I was about to call my father when someone from behind grabbed my mouth from behind.
"Ummm! Umph!!!" My voice muffled and I started struggling.
"How dare you insult me like that?" Arun, he was crying. he was younger than me. Only 19 years and I was 25.
"Umm! Umm!!" I again struggled and tried to free myself and of course I did. As I freed myself I slapped him harshly.
"HAVE YOU GONE NUTS?! " I shouted at the top of my voice in anger.
He looked at me with his red eyes as he was crying but he was angry as well. He got up and again tried to hit me and I kicked him with my all the energy and ran towards the door. I opened it and ran downstairs through staircase but my leg slipped and I..... fell down! I was thinking that if he will catch me then I don't know what's going to happen with me next.
To be honest it was fear, fear of getting r*ped? Yes!
I tried to stand up but I was hurt, I used my all of energy and tried to stand but I couldn't.
I saw him coming towards me with speed, he was running. I shouted "DON'T COME NEAR ME! DON'T COME NEAR!" I was nearly crying and was dead scared.
He stood up in front of me and stared at me for sometime and then sat and said "Please don't tell anyone, I didn't hurt you. I am sorry Aditi! Please don't tell anyone" it was unexpected. He tried to help me and quickly wiped his tears while sobbing.
"I-I am sorry Aditi, please don't tell anyone " he made me stand with his support and made me sit on sofa and gave me a glass of water with his trembling hands. Even before I could hold the glass he left the glass and ran away.
The glass fell down and broke into pieces. I was so terrified that I couldn't react at all. I quickly tried to stand up but fell down on the broken glass and hurt myself again. I dragged myself with all my left energy , finally reached the landline. I called my parents and told them everything with that scared and crying voice.
I am safe and nothing happened but the fear is always there. I no more live alone now and I don't think I will be able to in the future. That was truly terrible.
