The Suspect

This is inspired from a real incident experienced by a teen-age girl named ‘Nidhi’.The incident was taken place on 12^th July,2016.The story is continued in the words of Nidhi.

“I was standing in the balcony and enjoying the beautiful rain.I was looking at the busy streets of Mumbai city from the Ninth floor where do I live.My Parents are working and I was waiting for the result of my degree course.I used to spend my more time either by standing in the balcony or by doing surfing on social medias like Facebook,Instagram etc.

On 12^th of July,I received friend request from an unknown girl named ‘Tanisha’.I went through her profile but there was neither a profile pic nor any post.I understood that it’s a fake profile.I didn’t accept her friend request because  her profile was suspicious for me and she was like a suspect.Within next few minutes,I received a message from the suspect.The  fake account operator said,”Hi,Humara Naam Tanisha Hai…I want to be your friend.” I typed in reply,”I know it’s a fake profile.I will not accept your request.” The Suspect (Tanisha) typed,”No,it’s mine only.It’s not fake!!”

There are so many fake profiles on facebook because of this I was very careful.I typed,”Aap Ke Account Ka Profile Pic Bhi Nhi Hai…..It’s a fake profile only.” The Suspect replied,”I have created this account yesterday only.”Her typing speed was very slow,She messae,”Okay, wait I will add a profile pic.” She added a Motivational Quote in hindi language as a profile pic and then suspect messaged me back,”Done,Now will you accept my friend request?”  I typed,”No,Not at all….bye.” The Susect replied,”Wait,Please tell me the way,how can I prove that it’s my account only?” I thought for few seconds and typed,”Okay,Send your real pic to me.” The Suspect replied,”I’m in college,talk to you later.”

The Suspect was behaving parallel to my expectation,I understood that the suspect discontinued conversation because he must be busy in finding a pic of a girl from Google or other social media.Now a days,it’s not a difficult job to download pic of a girl.After the 3 hrs,The Suspe ct turned online and typed,”I want to be your friend because you share good thoughts and posts.” I typed with anger,”Kya Hua….Kisi Ladki Ki Pic Nahi Mili?…..Send your pic first or go to hell.”  The Suspect typed,”Okay,I’m sending but please dot share it with anyone,Nidhi Didi.” She sent me a pic of a girl,aged near 18 yrs.I thought,it could be download from another profileI typed,”Send one more pic to me.” Now I was monetaring the time taken by the suspect for sending another pic.But it was sent within few seconds.

After sending the second pic,The suspect wrote a length message which came from bottom of her heart.It was as below-

“My name is Tanisha,live in a small village of Uttar Pradesh,I scored well in 12^th std.,my dad gifted a new smartphone to me as a reward for my hardwork in 12^th std.I made my facebook accout yesterday and I thought to get in touch with good knowledgeable people like you.I had added my real profile pic……after which I got friend request from many boys.I accepte some of them but they started doing cheap messages like,’Do you have boyfriend? Will you be my girlfriend?’It was very disgusting for me,I unfriended many of them and deleted my profile pic as well.

Fortunately,I received one of your post.I liked and went with your profile,I felt you are a good educated girl by looking at your facebook posts.And I sent friend request to you because I was looking for good people in my friendlist.Your are the first one who talked with me very respectfully  you used ‘Aap’ in conversation.It proved that you belong to a good family and you’re of good nature.I had no other intension….

Hum To Ek Chhote Se Gaon Ki Ladki Hai,Didi.Humare Yha Jada Padhe Likhe Log Nhi Hai Isliye Socha Ki Agar Aap Se Dosti Ho Gayi To Kuch To Achha Sikhenge.Hum Ne Aap Par Bharosa Kar Ke Humari Pic Bhi Bhej  Di…….Agar Ab Bhi Aap Ko Lagta Hai Ki Hum Koi Ladki Nhi Hai, To Koi Baat Nahi…..Hum Bhi Ek Ladki Hai…Hum Aap Ki Bhavnayien Samjh Sakte Hai….Didi…Bye…!”

I read her message for twice and thrice and felt same on myself.I was asking a girl to prove that she is a girl only who was only expected to be a friend with me.But I treated her as a criminal and terme her as ‘The Suspect’.I accepted her request and typed ‘Sorry’ for more than 10 times.She forgave me within few seconds.But I failed to forgive myself.I kept my smartphone aside and stood in the balcony.I was looking at the wet streets with my wet eyes.The suspect was turned into the Sister!!
