Seems to be a normal day. Like every Friday, It was 7 o'clock she was taking breakfast and about to go to the NCC Unit in Gandhinagar, Jaipur.. picked up helmet, wore shoes and walked to the garage for her scooter, She turned the scooter to the main gate and Tried* to start it... "Lo pad gya syappaa" she screamed inside. Scooter didn't start when she was getting late to report in the unit.
She rushed to pick up a low floor bus from the main road in her full ncc uniform. There was so much crowd in the bus even no place to set a foot.. like an every local bus in the office time.. She was standing with holding the handle.
Gandhinagar was far.. people were leaving and coming.. She saw a vacant seat, as she saw, she sat on it.. There was a girl (curly hairs, fare color and a bit healthy) standing near her seat.
Kritika was observing everything, happening in the bus and also looking through the window. The girl standing by her was falling ahead. Kritka thought, It might be because of the breakers. She ignored her once then she fell again, Kritika stood and said her to take her seat.
Kritika looked at her eyes, the girl had tears in her eyes.. She said,'don't cry and take her seat". The girl was looking so younger. She and the girl exchanged their placements. Kritika didn't know what was happening with her as long as she had the same situation.
There was man, looked like a 45 years old, pushing and molesting her from the back side. He tried to do the same thing with kritika, He pushed her further. Kritika got angry and shouted at him,"Apne aapko control me kar, saale! umra ka to lihaaz kar". in a rapid voice. She got the center of attraction by saying these lines. Everybody was looking her like what did she say. That man, replied her back in voice as he didn't know anything and acting like she was blaming her for no reason. He tried to convince other passengers that he didn't do anything. Kritika had a louder voice and told others what he was doing.
An other man said to kritika to keep calm, find a seat and sit. Nobody was believing whatever that man was doing, Bus conductor said to her,"inki umra dekho vo karenge kya ese". She replied,"meri jagah tum hote to pta chalta." She pointed to the girl who was sitting on her seat and said,"Isse puchho, ye isse b chhed raha tha."
Kritika got a little shock when the girl refused, She said that he didn't do anything to her.. Kritka asked then why was she crying. Girl shut her mouth. She pressurized her to say what that man was doing, Nothing would happen just say. She had put her mouth keep shut like someone placed a tape on her mouth. That man was laughing at her. Kritika didn't loose hope, then a lady siting behind some seats, stood and was supposed to go out, said,"Sharam nahi aati ese bhoode bhoode logo ko, bachche ki umra ki ladkiyo ko chhedte h" while passing them. Looked like conductor heard that lady.. then realized.
He said to that man to sorry her. That man refused to say sorry, another man kept his voice and said the same, gradually everybody said him to sorry and promise her that he wouldn't do this again.. That man first refused then he ashamed in the public and finally said sorry to her.
Kritika proved herself, that yes! she has the spirit of "Mardaani".
