Innocent

       "Innocent is a crime"

Rashi... Rashi get up... "Yes amma", replied rashi sleepy. Amma was busy in making breakfast and lunch for her and her brother yadhav. Rashi and her brother went to the same school near to their house. Rashi was studying sixth standard and her brother was studying fourth. She used to study well but very innocent. Yadhav, too playful.

    " Rashi complete your homework and take care of yadhav", said Amma. " Amma are you going out??? " asked rashi. " Yes Rashi, I'll be back in half an hour", said Amma and she went out. After 15 minutes came a person named Shankar. He was a family friend.

      Rashi was doing her homework and brother was playing with ball. Shankar masked himself as a good person and started helping rashi in her studies. When Amma came she thought Shankar is helping her daughter. Amma was so happy that she got new teacher to her daughter.

    As days roll on, whenever Amma was not in home, Shankar would come there. He used to tell Rashi that Amma send me to help you. Rashi believed him completely. Shankar used to touch rashi and make her sit on his laps. " He was such jerk". Rashi didn't know what was he doing with her. His talk, gesture everything was always related to sex. He manipulated Rashi's mind and gave the pleasure of sex in that age.

   Amma was very timid person and she felt awkward to teach about sexual harassment. She thought everything was perfect in her family. One day Rashi's cousin Vishali visited her . Vishali had completed 12th standard.
On that day evening Shankar came to teach Rashi. Rashi was in her room with Vishali. Shankar came in. Both the girls greeted him. Shankar pretented to good teacher infront of Vishali. He made gesture to Rashi to send Vishali out. Vishali came out as Amma called her. Vishali found out there was something fishy.

    When Vishali peeped through the door of Rashi room ,he was touching her in private parts of the body. Rashi doesnt even know what was happening. Immediately Vishali opened the door and made Shankar to leave that place. She called Rashi's Amma and narrated the issue. Vishali warned Shankar that if again entered this house, he will be handed over to police.

   Amma was still in shock. She thought it was her fault that she didn't teach her daughter what's a good touch and bad touch. She also realised that there should be no place for
Awkwardness to talk this. Since she raised her child to be innocent, she allowed a crime in her house.

Dear parents,

  Please educate your children on sexual harassment. What's good and bad touch. Don't allow your child to be innocent.
