The bus journey - 3

[The bus journey - 1 ]

[The bus journey - 2 ]

This groping had become a daily affair for the next 3 days..
She started getting uncomfortable and started winding her work early..

But to her surprise the Creep was already there..
Perhaps waiting for Her to come and get his rush of Adrenaline and having the sadistic pleasure of groping a female..who couldn't react!

The 4th day 
When she started winding up her work the next day .. she got this awkward feeling....
what if I face him today also..
Why is he doing it..

With all sorts of thoughts in her mind she left for her stop.. 
when she boarded the auto-rickshaw she kept looking around if the creep was somewhere ..
when she reached her bus stop ..she caught a glimpse of him standing there on the bus-stop .. he looked uber cool.. totally unaffected ..

When the bus came, she got into the queue and to her surprise there was another guy who came just behind her in the queue ..
he unknowingly acted as a blockage between her and Mr. Creep
When they got into the bus.. thankfully it was not very crowded.
She noticed this young boy ..he must be a few years younger to me (she thought)
While Mr. Creep tried to come near her, 
this young boy was busy on his earphones..

When he saw Her getting uncomfortable, he tried to nudge the space between the Creep and her and stood in between.

She was so relieved!
She couldn't imagine someone younger to her could acknowledge her issue and also take a step to help her.
The creep got down without getting his work done today..

She and the young chap got down at the same stop..
But what the young chap told her .. 
stunned her 
" Mam, why didn't you react! Don't you respect yourself?
I totally get what he was trying to do, but I did not get why you kept quiet...
I don't travel by this bus daily.. but You do. 
Ensure your safety yourself"

The last line of what he said kept ringing in her mind....
and then she slept.
