A wet leaf fell on her shoulder making her jump in fear. Startled she shifted from her hiding place behind the bush and came out. She was caught by them. All those terrific eyes were on her. She started shivering cold in the rain. She looked around to escape but had no way out. Those rogues circled her giving a monstrous laugh. She was helpless. Though she shouted down her throat for aid nothing helped cause that area was covered by devil's dark. Not even a single human or animal was visible. The ambience covered by the sorrowful song of rain frightened her more. As the scoundrels came nearer to her, she tried to run away but couldn't. Unforeseen a brute came behind her and touched her shoulder dreadfully. She cried and cried requesting to leave her, not to harm her... The predators took her behind the bush and began to trouble her. She was enveloped with desperate, her mind stopped working at that moment. Those monsters were so heartless that they horrifically ignored her voice. The trees , rainy sky , cold breeze witnessed this cruelty in silence.....She was half dead at the end when those rascals finished their job and left her alone in the middle of the night. She had lost her consciousness... When she woke up the next day, she was at the hospital realizing what had happened to her. Though her family was with her, she couldn't feel their presence due to their lack of support when she was in need. Different sorts of opinion by the society drove her mad. Most of the talks were to leave this matter as it is and not to fight against those rapscallions for many reasons mainly due to the respect and dignity maintained by her family . Her soul didn't agree to this. She frankly wanted justice for what she had gone through. She took a firm decision to abide by the law and fight against those criminals. Facing physical and mental challenges in each and every step, she independently fought the case for years and finally the triumph was in her hands. She became an apt inspiration to the entire female hood...
