Bruised, battered, missing her dupatta, with only one chappal on her feet and tears streaming down her face, Reena somehow made her way to the police station, put on a brave face, gave a detailed description of her culprits to the police officer and managed to call home.
But standing in the only place that was supposed to make her feel safe, she felt more terrified than she had in front of those scoundrels.
And she was forced to wonder, who was the bigger monster?...the bastards who raped her and left her on the side of the road to die...or the ones who were supposed to protect her yet couldn't keep lust out of their eyes as they scanned her from head to toe, looking straight through her torn clothes...or the ones who gave her birth but were too ashamed to even call her Daughter...
