It was around the first hour of the day while I was returning home from my office. The roads were almost empty, freezing cold, chili wind and darkness being fought by the street lamps.
I normally stop at every red signal even if it is just me alone in the road. So I stopped at the last crossing before my home, from where I need to take right.
I was waiting at for the right signal to turn green and I know it will take sometime, so I turned off the engine.
I noticed a young girl crossing the road from the side I would be going towards. Soon she walked cross the road and approached me. She was telling me something with an expression of shame and compulsion on her face. Although I couldn't hear her voice since the glass on my helmet was shut, but I figured out what she was asking.
I nodded my head in negation and thought to myself I shouldn't stop there as this lady might be linked with cops to earn some healthy cash. I started my bike and turned the headlight on, I saw the face of the girl.
Should be around 17-18 years of age, wearing skinny dress with jeans, you know the kind they usually wear and it's super cold.
She approached me once again perhaps as to offer some better deal but I nodded and moved ahead. Thousands of sympathetic emotions crossed my mind and while I was taking the turn I saw at least another 7-8 girls like that sitting and chatting on the left side of the road. Another thousands of complex thoughts crossed my mind.
The first thing in my mind was, does her family know of this? If yes then have they approved of this? If yes then how? If not then what will happen when they come to know if this?
Next I thought is she doing this out of need? Or out of greed? If out of need, what could have compelled her? If greed then how did she call into this?
Then I thought maybe I should just stop, call her, give her whatever she earns each night and ask her to go home. Then I thought will she really go home or will she look to earn more? In both cases of need or greed this applies. And if she went back home, will I be able to give her money like this everyday I see her? Or should I?
I concluded with the idea that there is nothing called the Devine. Why? Because if he was there, there wouldn't been epidemics, misery, greed, etc. Nobody would ever create something only to see it being destroyed by themselves.
