Waking up to a new me

Jul 30, 2020 4 years ago

Every time I wake up in the morning, a shivering nervous me, grabs the cellphone and quickly prays to God for no new missed calls again. But today was different. There was no missed call. Instead a Whatsapp message displaying 'All the best' was at the top of the notification. It was from an unknown number. It was send 4 minutes ago. Should I view the message now? Or will the unknown person check my 'last seen' and come to know about my activity? I decided to check the number in the truecaller app. It was someone named Raja. My heart ached. Is that same person who is trying to blackmail me? I felt my back sweat profusely which made the bedsheet totally wet. Oh crap! Without wasting any second, in an instant, I viewed the whatsapp message and zoomed in on to the profile picture. It was my friend. I felt like my back dried at an instant. What a relief! He had wished me for the job entrance exam that I had that day in the afternoon. I tried to focus on the man's words whom I talked over the phone the night before. I didn't care a bit or had any nervous breakdown for the job test. I was more worried if I would be stalked anymore. I was worried if I am forced to do some things which I shouldn't. Nevertheless, I tried to strengthen my inner me. I focused and remembered what the Cyber crime expert had told me- 'If that lunatic calls you from a thousand different numbers for forcefully loving him and getting physical, then without any second thought, do not cut or block his number. Just take up the call and threaten him with all your might. Nobody in this world can force someone to love someone, and getting physical is a far off thing, it's a crime. And if you cannot stand up to face such dirty mind freaks then in no way, you can ever grow up to be a brave woman. Face him, speak up and lash it out whatever is keeping you up from spitting it. Show him who you are.' Yes, and I did it. The night before when this friend of mine was chatting, I felt like there is a connection between us. I felt like love is blossoming. I knew he too had the same feelings as mine. My happy moment was abruptly disturbed by that monster again. It was from another new number. I was shaking unimaginably. But be it God's grace or maybe some super energetic charge that popped up in me, I took up the call and spoke with such enigma alongwith some unimaginable dirty words that hardly gave him any chance to speak. It was the moment when he was the rat and I was the lion, no actually, I was more of a dinosaur. Never have I ever spoke so badly in my life. I would kill him if I were ever to see him. The torturing sick guy vanished! Although I didn't get selected in that job test, yet I could pass the test of testing myself- my inner strength and my defense capability. I was weak at first. Weak because that person was a mutual friend of mine. I had trusted him blindly, believing that helping people specially friends, is a virtue. Yes it is. But, what I had misjudged was that people don't take it the same way. There are some who feel that if someone helps them or supports, then they might support them in their 'other' needs also. Nevertheless, always help the poor, the needy, the other creatures etc but be fearful when some sick mentality tries to take advantage of it.
