I slowly locked the doors and when he realised we were not looking at him, he walked off.. ” She added how she did not even tell her parents about it because she was too young to understand what had happened.

Dating, relationships and even talking to men happened much later in my life. I started opening up when I was in London for my post-graduation.“
