The Mistake..

This is one incident that had moved me. All such instances justifies all messages given by shows like Gumraah and Webbed. When you see them you feel it wont ever happen to you. But it proved all wrong after listening to this.
There were two friends who knew eacother since junior college. They were good friends since then. Kavish and Anki - both of them were like buddies. They never considered eachother more than that, but always shared a great bond. After junior college, things changed a little. Anki stayed in the same city and had a different lot of friends. She even got close to a guy in that group and started dating him. On the other hand, Kavish was out for his further studies. He lived his life king size. New friends, partying most of the times and always some hot chick near him. As time passed by, the two of them had reduced their contact. It wasn't deliberate, but they both got busy with their lives. Graduation was over, both of them gad lived their ups and downs.
Co-incidentally both Anki and Kavish came together in the same city for their post graduation. This was the time they met again. They were very happy to be together in the same place, remembering of all the past moments, sharing with eachother the things they had missed and making a lot of future plans. Kavish was a party person and he had a lot of girlfriends but always the wrong ones. He wouldn't stay constant with one. He had a party to attend and wanted a girl to company him. He asked Anki to come along with him, he got a company amd plus he wanted to introduce Anki to two of his very good friends - Rajiv and Sukant.
Anki was fine with the plans. She was excited and happy that she finally would get to see the much hyped night life of the city. She did not even care to ask Kavish who all would be there and where they were going to stay for the night.
Both of them went to the party. Anki was smart but sometimes she made silly mistakes. This was one of those. She met Rajiv and Sukant. Rajiv was a little older than the rest of them. Sukant seemed okay ish, he was with a girl. Being a people person she immediately meshed up in the.group. It was hard to guess that they all had met her that very day. Everyone was either into hookah, alchohol or both. Anki was talking and dancing with both Kavish and Rajiv. Sukant was with his gf and he left a little early for Kavish's flat. He apparantly had to reserve for the bedroom. Almost nobody except Anki and Kavish were in their senses. Around 4 AM, all of them went to Kavish's flat in his car. The couple was already in so the three decided to rest in the hall. They were so tired with the dance and booze that they just slept off wherever they found a place. Kavish slept first, Anki and Rajiv were still talking for quite a long time. Somehow they slept off, not realizing when.
In this, Anki did not understand but somebody had put a hand on her when sleeping. After some time she could feel a warm breathe near her neck. She instantly got up and turned to see somebody holding her with his arms and sleeping next to her. She was shocked to see Rajiv, Kavish's friend. He seemed to be in deep sleep, so she moved away from him and slept facing his back to him. After some time, she could feel the same hand was now moving all around her back. She was scared and at the same time a little embarased. She turned towards Rajiv and asked what was he doing. He opened his eyes and started touching her lips. Anki was feeling grossed out by now. She asked him to stop and got up. Rajiv forced her down on the bed again and grabbed her. She shouted but it was dark and nobody responded. Rajiv crossed his limits and tried kissing Anki, forced her and abused her. When she shouted and asked him to leave, he told her to calm down and enjoy. Finally Anki hit him hard on his face and kicked him. It was around 6.30-7 in the morning when all of it happened. She felt wretched and dirty. Though Kavish was in the same room, he did not respond to her shouts. She wanted to leave the place and run away. She was shivering and scared, but did not want to show herself weak. She got up, washed her face, took her bag and left for her hostel. Nobody knew whe. she left except Rajiv who was shamelessly seeing her leave. After that day nor did Anki or Kavish had any contacts. It was as if they were strangers again. Anki did recieve a text from Rajiv though, which said
"Do not take me seriously when I am a devil. I thought you wanted to do it as well. Anyways hope to see you soon dear."
Anki was angry and she did not know what to do or who to tell this. Her boyfriend would blame her and so would her parents. And it is obvious. Being a girl I am not just being biased for her. She was at fault to go out late night with people she did not know except for some childhood friend who had changed to extents that she did not. But that was her only mistake. A mistake that could ruin her life.
But she was not at fault for being an extrovert or having a modern approach of life. I do not feel it was wrong of her to talk to a guy or dance with him with limits drawn. It was Rajiv's mentality that was at fault. I do not understand why are girls who dress modern, have many male friends or talk openly with all considered as easily available. If a girl has a boyfriend or if she has had intimate relations with somebody than that is her personal life. Nobody should get judgemental about a girl's integrity or character just with the way she lives. Anki still feels wretched and stays away from new friends and parties and Rajiv still tries to get laid with any and every girl he finds prey. Who is at fault here now and who should change?
