~A short fictional story~

For the first day, Sruthi was heading to school, taking care to freshen up and dress properly with round gold-colored earrings, black clips in her hair, and a lovely pink saree. She embarked on this new journey with a mix of excitement and fear, wondering if she could truly adjust to this unfamiliar school in Eluru, having relocated from Warangal for the sake of her job.

The initial day saw the principal introducing himself and the entire staff, and to Sruthi's relief, the children appeared much more pleasant than those in her previous school. She completed her first day with a happy note, anticipating a positive experience ahead. As she made her way home, she stopped at a store to pick up some essentials, and it was there that an accidental encounter occurred—her head collided with a young and handsome guy named Rahul. Apologies were exchanged, and little did Sruthi know that this encounter would set the stage for a new chapter in her life.

Rahul and Sruthi quickly became friends, sharing moments together after school. Rahul, always helpful and never judgmental, earned Sruthi's trust without her realizing it. Their friendship blossomed, providing a source of comfort for Sruthi in her new surroundings.

One day, as Sruthi's scooty broke down on her way home, she encountered Vijay, a man who approached her with abusive words. Unfazed, Sruthi attempted to take her scooty to a repair shop, with Vijay persistently

following. In this moment of distress, Rahul intervened, expressing concern and deterring Vijay from his misbehavior.

As days passed, Sruthi and Rahul's friendship deepened. Rahul, harboring feelings of love, awaited the right time to express himself. Meanwhile, Vijay lurked in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to settle a score.

On a fateful Saturday evening, Sruthi and Rahul found themselves in separate places, both waiting for the perfect moment. Rahul, armed with flowers, visited Sruthi’s home, while Sruthi realized she had left her phone at school and returned to retrieve it. Little did they know that Vijay was also awaiting a chance.

Rahul, arriving at Sruthi’s home, received news that she had returned to school. As he ventured into the school premises, he discovered a chilling scene unfolding on the second floor.

There was no security guard, and it was 6 o'clock with the day transitioning into night. So, he decided to wait at the gate, but suddenly, he heard a sound from the school. He went inside to the second floor, where the sounds were emanating.

There, he witnessed someone chasing Sruthi, prompting him to hurry to the fifth room where Sruthi lay on the floor. Quickly, he came to her, asking what had happened, attempting to help her stand. Suddenly, at the same time, there was a stabbing, and Rahul winced in pain and shock as it came from Sruthi. She attempted another stab, but he pushed her away, trying to escape.

However, from behind, someone grabbed his hands, forcing him to kneel—it was Vijay.

Rahul: "What are you doing? Why do you want to kill me?"

Sruthi: "You bustard, don't you know the reason?"

Sruthi: "Do you remember August 28th, 2019?"

Rahul looked at Sruthi with a lot of fear.

Meanwhile,

Vijay: "You bustard, you raped and killed my sister with your two friends, her and later covered up everything, portraying that she herself committed suicide."

Sruthi: "This is the punishment for what you did to my sister." She stabbed again. "We killed your friend Naveen three months ago. We will never spare another who is involved in this."

Rahul died, and they took him to the railway track, portraying how he supposedly committed suicide.
