The Trap

Seema opened the door of Kamla's room and stepped inside. A kind of sad, depressing silence filled her mind. It had been fifteen days since the suicide of Kamla. Seema opened her wardrobe. Along with that, memories of Kamla came to her mind. She let out her tears. Ever since Kamla left, she had been plagued by a question, "My daughter, just seventeen years old, what happened that made her want to finish herself?" A diary along with Kamla's hairpins, bands and other accessories was spotted. Picking up the diary, she flipped through the page. Kamla had made some entries in the diary according to the date. Sitting in a nearby chair, Seema started reading the diary.

I got very bored today. There is no mood for study. Even today, the mother seems to be late. What will she do? Due to the year ending, she will have more work in the bank. So it's going to be late. If I had a father, my mother would not have to work so hard. Her day ends with housework, her office, my college. She has only one dream. . I want to learn and grow. And I will definitely fulfill her dream. . . Let's go. . . A little time goes on Facebook so time will go by though.

Gaurav's friend request came on Facebook yesterday. In fact, I don't know him. The mother said she did not want to accept requests from strangers. But he looks amazing in his profile photo. . . I accepted his request.

After studying today, I chatted with Gaurav for a long time on Facebook Messenger. He is damn interesting. It was nice chatting with him.

While chatting, Gaurav and I took each other's cell numbers today. He immediately called me. He is so cool. Sounds like a Bollywood hero. In fact, the mother would not like it at all.

Yesterday I just studied. I did not touch the mobile. In fact, the eleventh class exam is over now and twelfth classes will start soon. I have to study a lot from the beginning. I want to go to medical college after pass the exam. The mother has the same desire. I don’t want to go to Facebook now because Gaurav is always online. Then it takes a long time to talk to him and I always feel guilty to avoid my study. The mother would not like it if she found the truth about the chatting with Gaurav. Is Gaurav online on Facebook? If so, chat with him for five to ten minutes. . Only five to ten minutes. . .

When I went to Facebook yesterday, Gaurav appeared online. I was going to chat for five to ten minutes. But I don't know how the hour and a half passed. His video call came just half an hour ago. Must be slightly older than what appears on the FB profile. Twenty-one years old. But he looks handsome. . . And speaks so cool. . I think so. . Keep talking to him. See you next Sunday at the Juhu Chaupati. I really want to meet him.

Today we met on Juhu Chaupati. We talk about lots of things. His parents are in town. He shares a flat here in Mumbai with three friends. He is in his third year of engineering. His passionate look about me captivated me. As he spoke, he took my hand in his and lightning flashed all over me. I should confess . . .I love him. . Yes. . I am in love with him. . . .

Nowadays, there is no time to write a diary. I don’t know. I haven't taken any class tests this week. Just. . . Gaurav. . Gaurav. . And just Gaurav. . . Chat with him, phone calls, video calls, and his thoughts. . There is nothing else than Gaurav. We met twice this week. We are scheduled to meet at his flat tomorrow.

Yesterday I went to meet Gaurav at his flat. We were both there. He hugged me and kissed me on the forehead, cheeks, and lips. Then I gently picked it up and put it on the bed. I was so in love with him. . . I don't know when my clothes came off. Ohh ... I lost my virginity. . Feeling guilty. But it was a heavenly experience. . and after all, we love each other. But. . But if the mother knew. . .

30/04/2018

Today we meet at Gaurav's flat. Pretty much two to three times a week. . Not living without each other. We are both passionate about sex. Today he took a selfie video of both of us. . While doing so. . . Said. . I'll see you when I remember you. Even though I was saying no. . .

20/05/2018

Does the mother know anything? She was asking. . Why didn't I give weekly tests of the classes? She had received an SMS from the class teacher. She said looking at me. . "You seem to have grown up and nowadays you don't even have time to talk to me. Is there a study tension?" I can’t say anything.

In the last few days, my body has been literally strained. How many times Gaurav and his three friends have raped me and broken the ligaments of my body. Showing dirty porn videos makes me do it. If not, the videos taken with me threaten to go viral. I wanted to listen to Mom. I didn't want to accept Gaurav's request. I mean, nothing like that would have happened today. My life is as straightforward and nice as ever. Me, mom, my friends, everything was so good. I spent everything with my hands. Getting everyone away and getting caught up in this dirty trap. Now I see the only way to stop it and get out of it. . . To end me. . . Mom forgives me. . But there is no other way. . .

Seema closed the diary. Kamla's memory and the suffering she endured made her cry. After half an hour, she woke up with determination. She remembers her office friend and colleague Priyanka, her brother Arjun being in charge of Mumbai Cyber Cell. She called Priyanka and told all story. The next day Seema and Priyanka came to Arjun's office. Kamla's diary and mobile phone were brought along by the Seema. Telling Arjun all the facts, Seema said, "Inspector, please investigate this case as soon as possible and punish the culprits who are responsible for my daughter's suicide." "Sister, you can be sure. I'll take up the matter as soon as possible." Inspector Arjun consoled her.

Inspector Arjun first cracked the password of Kamla's mobile from the cyber security office. Messages from Gaurav on Facebook Messenger in the mobile, traced the IP address from which it came. And they found the location. Within a month, a police trap was set around Gaurav and his three friends. Seema is completely alone due to Kamla's suicide. But seeing those criminals inside the bar, who were responsible for Kamla's suicide, she is satisfied that Kamla had got some justice.
