By Sai Nihar

Story 3:

She was sitting in a hotel room and she already finished drinking a full bottle of blenders pride and smoked 4 packs of cigarettes and the room was destroyed the television, the bed everything was shattered, she was a mess and she was screaming and shouting for no reason and slowly she just laid back on the bed and looked into the fan and closed her eyes, 8 months back she was very nervous to go to her UPSC coaching her father dropped her near the coaching centre and told her how proud he was “Baby girl we all know you are going to become a civil servant and all of this you have done it with your hard work!”

And he was having tears rolling down and she hugged him and went inside with that enthusiasm of becoming something. She was the brightest in the class room let it be the mock tests or group discussions she dominated every bit and everyone around her also knew she was going to crack the exam! And then one day as she was sitting in the library one guy came up and asked her to clear his doubt in an anthropology paper and as she cleared the doubt, he invited her for a cup of coffee she was someone who always kept to herself but something made her go have that one cup of coffee! She was charmed by him, he made her feel different from that one cup of coffee and there started to spend more time preparing for the exams, paper discussions, mock exams, interviews there started becoming that ideal couple. And after 4 months it was his birthday and there wanted to spend some time alone and he convinced her and booked a hotel room and after there went inside he started to remove a whiskey bottle and pack of cigarettes from his bag and started to pour her a drink she denied it but somehow, he convinced her and she started to smoke and drink. There started to do this quite often on a regular basis she started having a thirst over drinking and smoking she was not able to concentrate on anything. The both of them reached the room again and started to drink this time he said let’s do one more thing and he got close to her and undressed her and started kissing her she was high but she was little bit in her senses and she realised he was holding a camera and recording she had a blur vision and was not able to stop and the next day morning he woke her up and she asked him “Did we do something!?” He said “Yes we made love don’t worry about it” she asked him “No! Did you record me?” With a straight face he said “No baby how can I do that!”. And the next thing she knows was that her sex video was online everywhere, she covered her face and was walking and she was removed from her coaching.” The whiskey glass rolled down and broke and she woke up! She lit a cigarette and looked back at his dead body which was lying on the bathroom floor with blood all over and she started to clean the room and once done she removed her books and started to study.
