Thank God I didn't get raped.

I was coming home from my tution today when it happened again. That man standing near the auto stand came following me. I swear I'm going to tell mother the next time it happens.  He does nothing more than passing comments behind me. I hope no one heard what he had whispered to me today. For if they heard they'll think me to be "that kind" of a girl. I shouldn't have worn jeans to my tution. My mother was right.  It must have made me look like a "slut". That's probably why this man followed me with his dirty remarks on how my legs looked. Thank God I didn't get raped. I'll be more careful from tomorrow.  I'll wear more "decent" clothes than jeans and tshirt which covers all but my hands and feet. But then again I wore my new Salwar suit with the heavy embroidered dupatta yesterday when that bald man in the city bus groped me. And didn't I wear a Salwar when Gupta sir slipped his hands on my thighs in the class. And that day of puja at shilpi's place, I was wearing mom's favorite blue silk saree when her uncle held me by my waist. Thankfully the door wasn't closed well and shilpi came finding me. I don't think I'm learning enough to be a "good" girl. Mother says I've already grown up to do things on my own. I shall still try to learn things from her before I turn 15 next month. So that I look like a "good" girl and that man at the auto stand stops following me everyday.
