Nikita is sitting in starbucks café, sipping her cup of cappuccino and looking out of the window egarly.There is a little fear in her eyes. She looks a red blooded knife lying near her hand bag and hidden by her blue scarf. She looks the surroundings suspiciously.
Her eyes are wet now. She lay back on her chair and closes her eyes to dive deep in her past life how everything was changed in a span of time.
Nikita is in her room when her father comes.
Nikita there is good news for you, her father says.
Nikita replies don’t say that you are going to buy a car for me.
Yes it’s right. How did you come to know this is going to be happening?
I just guessed. Is it really going to happen Dad? Are you going to buy a car?
Yes my dear. We are going to have a car tomorrow.
Thank you so much Dad. You are so sweet .I love you.

Next day Nikita and her family go to the showroom and buy a nice red car.
All are excited and happy especially Nikita is so happy to see the car. She always dreams for a car to see others.

They take a man with who lives besides their house and works as deriver with a neighbor to drive the car to home from showroom. The man is married and having two kids. But there is some suspicious on his nature. He looks not clean from inside, a complicated guy.
By the way they all are happy and no one have the time to see other things than the car.

A voice comes from other side of the phone.

But sweetheart you have to be very careful all the time, never go alone to learn the car, time is very worst these days. Human is becoming worst than the animals.

After a week the driver comes to Nikita home and asks to come with to learn the car.Nikita feels very happy to listen this. She comes out along with her father.
Driver drives the car to get out the car from narrow road from the colony to wider place to teach both of them.Nikita is sitting at back seat and her father is at front besides the driver.
He takes the car in middle of the big mela ground.
He asks Nikita’s father to come on driving seat to drive first.
After some times he says I am tired now let Nikita learns for a while, I want to sit somewhere in fresh air out of the car.
He stops the car and come out.
Now Nikita comes at the driving seat.
She starts to drive and the drives starts teaching her. He touches her hand frequently to teach how to control steering wheel.
After few minutes he gets relaxed to see Nikita is doing well.
He lays down the seat and start staring at Nikita.
Nikita is unaware of all these things and busy in driving.
Suddenly he says I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Nikita asks amazingly, what bhaiya??
He smiles and says nothing just to teach you the car one day.
She smiles too.
Finally they finish the day of learning and come back to home.
The schedule of learning the car passes a week happily, and both driver and Nikta get confidence in their respective work.
Driver comes little closer to Nikita and start getting her confidence.
But Nikita is unaware of any thing wrong going in driver’s mind.
After a week,
Nikita is at driver seat and her father is busy in walking in fresh air out of the car.
Driver says to Nikita while she is busy in driving car, you are so sweet and beautiful.
Nikita replies-thank you bhaiya.
I am grateful that you have made me good in driving.
It is good for me that you made me a man who helps you in learning. He smiles.
Suddenly he touches her hand and keeps his hand on her lap.
She suddenly feels uncomfortable and heat inside her on his touch.
She looks at driver, there is cunning smile spreads on his face.
She doesn’t understand the meaning of that smile but her mind is hit now. She smells something wrong in the air inside the car. She opposes the driver to not to do this as it makes her uncomfortable.
He smiles and says you don’t like this.
No not at all. I feel very bad.
Ok let me touch once again and I am sure you will feel good.
Driver touches her leg and gradually pushes his hands to her private part. How you are feeling now, he asks with cunning smile. He places his second hand on her chest.
Bhaiya don’t do this, it is uncomfortable. I am not able to drive the car properly.
She stops the car. She sweats a lot in fear. I see you a good man and don’t expect what you are doing from you. You just break my faith.
Hey come on its not as bad as you feel. Its natural and everyone needs it, why you don’t I don’t know. Am I not so handsome you think?
What the hell is this Nikita cries? I am not such a girl who loves to do these things to get pleasure. I am sorry you are wrong and I will suggest you to not to do such things otherwise I will not coming from tomorrow.
Ok, ok, I promise you to not to do such things again but don’t stop coming till learn perfect.
She stops the car near her father in the ground and asks him to come in to go home.
They come back home, but Nikita is still thinking those happenings.
She makes a call to her boyfriend and tells all those things happened in the morning and starts crying.
Hey baby what happened. Please don’t cry I am with you. I know the cruel society and the double faced people.Thats why I always tell you to be careful. You are very innocent and people look for innocent persons like sheep to sacrifice.
She still cries.
Don’t cry please, don’t feel you are alone. But don’t be silent on this matter; say all the happening to your mom or dad.
No I cannot say to mom or dad they will be fire on the driver and neighbors will come to know all bad things and what they will think I am afraid.
Then he will be more confident on his deeds if you don’t oppose.
He said me to not to do again but I don’t want to go to learn car tomorrow. But dad will force me to go.
Don’t worries go tomorrow if he repeats complaint it to mom or dad. They will handle by own.
Ok bye take care and be careful.
Next day as usual driver comes again to home and asking to come with for classes.
Nikita refuses to go and says she is not well today.
Her dad forces to come and starts scolding her that driver comes to teach us free of cost leaving his various works. We should respect him. Let’s go.
Finally she is ready to go with half will.
As routine they reach to mela ground and her dad gets out from the car to get fresh air and to walk little.
Nikita asks him to be in the car itself.
He says I suffocate while sit inside car. You carry on I am here nearby.
Nikita starts driving the car without looking at the driver with angry head.
After few minutes driver says her-are you still annoyed with me. I am sorry for yesterday. But I am helpless anyone can fall in attraction with you as you look so beautiful and hot. It’s not my fault at all.
Nikita mums and busy in driving the car.
After few minutes silence drives says to her again-can I touch you again today if you allow me.
She suddenly feels his hand on her leg moving towards her private part.
She jams the break and stops the car-excuse me what the hell you want I don’t understand. First you clear what do you want otherwise I am going to call my dad?
Hey wait you cannot do this really. Wait I show you something. There is a cunning smile on his face.
He gets his cell phone from his pocket and show him a video recorded by him.
She amazes to see what the crap is it?
There is a MMS recorded by him while he touches his private part and her chest yesterday. She didn’t notice that time.
She shocks, her body starts shaking and sweating in fear.
He says-if you tell anyone about it I will make this MMS viral and then what will happen you better know, the Indian reputed lady. You know our society how hell it makes of any news.

Driver says with smile-it is in your hand now, only you can save your family repo in society.
They reach the home and Nikita directly goes to her bedroom and laid on the bed and start crying.
It seems everything is destroyed in the fraction of time. How happy she was before the car came to the home. She doesn’t know what to do now. If she says to family there will a storm all around.
