Lajja !
She was innocent and naive,meek and mild.
She was just a bud of a girl waiting to bloom into a woman.
She got down the bus along with other women who were on a mission- to attend nature's call.
They were travelling from 4 hours without any stop in between and still had a long way to go and so the open field with bushes here and there, was the only worthy place the driver could think of when he felt the pressure of mahila shakti and their demands- a stop !
Few men too got down along with them but they didnt travel far in the field of shame and finished their business by road side.
The rest of the men who sat back had their eyes sneaking behind the far ahead bushes & glued onto atleast 1 woman hoping to catch a feast for their eyes.
The buxom middle aged ladies gave a damn to none and raised their fabric of honour without any shame and squatted while she struggled to find the right bush for herself.
Each bush was too short or very thinly grown/transparent for her to take shelter behind it even if it was for few minutes.
She was baffled at the audacity of the women who showed so much confidence about their bodies and so less attention to the lustful men watching their side with lolling tongues!
She continued to rove.
She hoped some woman to notice her being uncomfortable and help her come out of her self implied ethics which did not happen ..
Within few minutes she heard the driver start his engine again and that hardly 1 or 2 ladies left back in the field who were also moving back.
She followed them desperate,helpless,disappointed ...... and stiffened her stomach remembering how much more journey was left to be covered.
