I am shy

None can touch

Roli POV:

I went to buy book in the stationery shop...

I purchased the book and took out the money to be paid for that...

I forward my hand with the money while the shop keeper in the chance of taking the money touched my hand...

I swiftly took my hand back dropping the money down on the counter...

He kept the balance on the counter... understanding i didn't like it...

I just took the change and rushed towards house...

I went inside my room... closed the door...

I felt like the hand where he touched was burning...

How dare he can touch like that...

It took long for me to come out of the effect the incident gave me...

I didn't even went to have food...

I gave some fake excuse to my mother for not having dinner...

Even in the night.. when i was sleeping.. the same incident flashed in my dreams...

While i sat jumping in the bed with full of sweat...

Yes.. this is how i started feeling when some one touch...

Its all the effect of all the words i heard and a slap i got from my mother in the past...

Its the effect of my decision not to allow anyone to touch in my life...

Its the effect of the gift given by the society to me...

Days were passing...

I finished my schooling...

Now i need to join college which is not in our village...

I need to go to near by town...

My parents told me to collect the form to fill and apply in the college of the town...

I was travelling in the bus...

In fact i got seat to sit...

But seeing an old lady i gave my seat to her and stood in the bus...

I felt someone coming near me...

Yes.. i turned & saw a guy trying to come closer to me with a weird smile...

I just moved a little from the place where i was standing...

But the guy didn't leave...

He again came much closer to me...

He tried to touch my body with his...

I felt like burning myself...

I just moved away from there towards another place...

Fortunately the destination came and i got down from the bus...

I started walking towards the college...

That is when i realised.. this bus travel i need to face while going & coming to college...

Which is not something i can handle...

I just took a U turn to the opposite side bus stop...

I catch the next bus and came back home...

'Did you got the form Roli...' my mother asked...

'No mom.. i am not going to any college...' i said and went to my room...

It again took very long time for me to forget the incident...

But my decision of not going to college only twisted my life...

Yes.. unexpected decision was taken by my parents...

I was helpless...
