Hey guys,
This is a story on the sensitive issue of human trafficking...
However, even though the topic is mature, there will be NO mature content in this story...apart from a few talks of the above-mentioned evil.
Most of the legal formalities mentioned, I have researched on Google since I'm not a lawyer....
Please excuse me if there is a mistake
Prologue
The man clad in a formal black coat, paired with crisp white trousers as was the dress code of lawyers in court, sighed....taking a sip of the steaming coffee, which was a rich coal-black in contrast to the expensive gleaming white glass cup it was served in....
His eyes scanned the expanse of the room....
It was a professionally done study with huge wooden shelves, loaded with several books on various topics, however, journalism seemed to be a prominent one.....
These shelves seemed to cover all the walls except for a wall that was entirely made of glass, overlooking the beautiful city at twilight....
The huge skyscrapers everywhere & other small shops, roads, houses, buildings all colorfully dotted the scenery...adding life to the view...
This was exactly where his client was standing, enjoying the view, nursing his own cup of coffee.....
C: Mr. Mehra, she's my wife now, legally mera koi toh hak hoga apni patni par?
The client sounded impatient, his sharp, chiseled jaw tight as he ran a hand across his dark curls, messing them slightly....
The attorney, Mr. Mehra sighed.....placing the file in his hands on the desk before approaching his client.....
Mr M: bilkul hai Mr Sharma, Ananyaji saare riti-riwaazon se aapki patni hai, lekin bhale hi vo legally adult hai, lekin jab aapki shaadi hui, unki mental condition theek nahi thi...vo consent karne ki haalat mein nahi thi....
Vo court mein ye claim karsakta hai ki apne Ananyaji se under duress shaadi ki hai aur aapki shaadi annul karwaane ki appeal desakta hai....
Aur toh aur, Ananyaji ki mental condition aur trauma dekhkar, court se unki gaurdianship ki maang bhi karsakta hai, kyunki iswaqt Ananya ji bhale hi baalig hai par mentally aur physically apna dhyaan rakhne mein incompetent hai.....aur aise logo ki care ke liye aisi temporary guardianship legal hoti hai.....
Court ise consider bhi karega, kyunki aap dono ki shaadi se pehle, Ananyaji ussi girl's home mein rehti thi jo vo chalaata hai....
The lawyer informed, rubbing his face tiredly....he felt the guilt & remorse weigh down on him, seeing panic & anger in his young client's eyes....
M: Nahi! Ananya phirse uss nark mein nahi jaa sakti! And you say a girls home?? That's a bloody brothel he's running!
Uss home ka vo maalik insaan nahi darinda hai, vaha ladkiyon ke saath zabardasti hoti hai, chand paiso ke liye unke shareer ko naa jaane kitni baar becha jaata hai!
Main agar uss din Ananya ko vaha se byaahkar nahi lejaata toh vo aadmi uske saath.....v..vo...Ananya ko kisi Arab ko bechne waala tha.....
Ananya uske yaha ki aajtak ki sabse khubsoorat ladki thi, he's trying to locate me to convince me to give Ananya back & take someone else instead....
Kyunki use lagta hai use Ananya ke liye aur uncha daam milsakta hai....that disgusting greedy piece of sh*t!
The man growled, & scrunched his eyes tight , not wanting to show any tears that had gathered....
The old attorney smiled at his distressed client.....the pain of loosing & a loved one being hurt was evident in those molten chocolate orbs.....
L: don't mind me asking, but why not pay more money to him? Vo aapka peecha chod dega....
The man enquired & Kabir frowned....
K: Mr Mehra, Ananya meri patni hai....jise mein izzat se shaadi karke iss ghar mein laaya hoon....I refuse to disrespect her by paying money for her like she's a possession.....aur kya guarantee hai ki vo dobaara nahi aayega...
I can't let Ananya suffer like this, this needs to be resolved once & for all....
Kabir said determinedly & the old attorney smiled to himself at this....
Kabir Sharma was a promising young man, already at the peak of his career as a journalist....He was already world-acclaimed....
With his increasing popularity, if something else apart from his bank balance increased tenfold, then it was just one thing:
Rumours.
To the world, Kabir Sharma was a rich, powerful, influential media personality who was a known woman...
He was astute, who stopped at nothing to attain the news that brought him power & ultimate control.....
However, this man before him was nothing like this....he was the most kind-hearted man he'd come across.....
Not everybody rescued a random woman from being forced into prostitution & married her to protect her, giving her his name, feeding her, clothing her, caring for her....and loving her?
Mr. M: don't worry Mr. Sharma, aapki patni ko kuch nahi hoga....I assure you I'll do everything in my power.....
As your lawyer, I'd say ki sabse pehle hume ye saabit karna hai ki Ananya ji apni marzi se aapke saath hai, ye shaadi under duress nahi hui thi...saath hi hume ye bhi saabit karna hai ki aap hi unke liye best gaurdian hai....jo ki utna mushkil nahi hai, kyunki pehle toh aap unke pati hai, her only known family as of now, plus aap eklaute mard hai jinhe dekhkar unhe panic attack nahi aata....she trusts you with her life....most of it is in our favor already....
To make our case strong, we need to use all the proof we can against him....ek baar uspar ye ilzaam laggaya, vo automatically unfit hojaayega, gaurdian banne ke liye.....human trafficking is a serious thing, phir toh judge use gaurdian ke taur par consider bhi nahi karsakta....
The attorney finished his little speech.....
Kabir took a sip of his coffee, thinking fir a bit before he spoke...
K: right, ekbaar Ananya legally Mrs Kabir Sharma banjaaye aur main uska temperory gaurdian phir vo raakshaas use choona toh door dekh bh nahi paayega....
L: exactly.... it's best we start the legal process as soon as possible, aap Ananyaji se baat kar lijiye....
Naturally, vo chup nahi baithega aur aap par har tarah ke ilzaam lagayega....ki aapne Ananyaji ke saath zabardasti ki, ya unhe brainwash kiya....vagera...
But, don't worry, humaara case strong hai...hum uss bhediye ko usle kiye ki saza aur Ananyaji ko insaaf zaroor dilvaayenge....
The attorney assured Kabir, who pursed his lips & nodded briskly....his fists clenching tightly....
K: Thank you, Mr Mehra if he wants to play dirty, I'm game for it! Mere bhi upar tak bohot contacts hai, zara main bhi toh dekhu ki ye jaanwar meri Ananya ko haath kaise lagaata hai...it's time I show him ki Kabir Sharma kya cheez hai!
I'll make him regret the day he looked at Ananya the wrong way.....main apni Ananya ko har keemat par insaaf dilaakar rahunga! Agar use Ananya ke pairo mein gidgidaane par majboor na kiya toh mera naam Kabir Sharma nahi!
Kabir smirked devilishly with newfound confidence, his eyes softening when they fell on the photo of a beautiful brunette in question, that rested on his desk.....
The older gentleman nodded, trying to hide the small smile tugging at his lips....
K: Ananya anaath nahi hai, use uski pichli zindagi theek se yaad nahi, but she's told me that she has a family, a very loving one, jo shayaad use har jagah dhoondh rahe honge....
Ek baar uski family miljaaye, main khud hi humaari shaadi khatm kardunga...aur usse uski ghar pohcha dunga...maine vada kiya hai Ananya se....
Mr. Mehra noticed how Kabir's face fell, his lashes lowering like a sad child, denied his favorite dessert...
His hand longingly reached towards Ananya's picture, before dropping down with difficulty, as if he had no right.....
After exchanging few more words with the lawyer, Kabir exited the study & headed to the master bedroom of the 5 BHK luxurious & spacious penthouse which he called home...
He's angry, somewhat stoic face melted into a tender smile as he glanced at the slender body that lay fast asleep on the bed....
Bending down, he gently tucked away a soft, stray curl that caressed her beautiful skin.....he was lost in the view of the dark long lashes resting daintily on the creamy white skin below her eyes....
With soft rosebud pink lips parted, beautiful elaborate curls fanned across the pillow, a pinch of slightly smudged vermillion in her hair parting, the woman clad in a simple lightly embroidered kurta, with her mangalsutra being her only jewelry looked like a true heavenly nymph.....
Kabir leaned closer, pressing the gentlest of kisses on her forehead, directly over a fading scar, that was one of the several ones marring her beautiful skin.....
K: I promise you Ananya....main tumhaare saath kuch bura nahi hone dunga....I'll protect you....always....
He whispered....
Giving the sleeping beauty one last glance, Kabir brought out his laptop....seating himself by the coffee table in the room......thinking about how one phone call from his stinger changed his life forever.......
**************
A few months ago....
La: Kabir bhai, kasam se bata raha hoon...bada ghatiya kism ka aadmi hai....girls home kholkar baitha hai, aur jo ladkiyaan duniya ke liye uski apni betiyon jaisi hai, unhi ka sauda karta hai....foreign ki badi partiyon se...
Ladki ki shaadi zabardasti apne customer ke saath karke use videshein smuggle kardeta hai...phir na jaane kya hota hoga unn ladkiyaan...kitne unki izzat lootne mooh uthaakar chale aate honge....chiii!
Kabir had an expression of disgust on his face before it turned into a crooked smile that was famous for having the entire female population swooning over the greek god of the world of journalism....
K: iss modern zamaane ka ahem usool hai ki apne gunaaho ki saza yahi, isi janam mein bhoogatni padti hai Lakshman, iske saath bhi yahi hoga....
Par philhaal main tumhe ek khabar deta hoon, iss dalaal ke paas bohit jald ek bohot bada customer aane waala hai..
Kabir said with a determined look on his face....
This was his opportunity to get his hands on what could & would prove to be the biggest breaking news in a while....
L: ek minute....Kabir bhai aap uspar sting operation karenge? Main samajhta hoon ki ye bohot badi khabar hai, par vo bohot khatarnaak aadmi hai....aisa sunne mein aaya tha ki uske underworld connections bhi hai....aap samajh rahe hai na Kabir bhai?
Lakshman, his stinger asked worriedly.....but Kabir had made up his mind, & there was certainly no looking back now...
This sting operation was going to be a big milestone for him to attain more power....& finally achieve what had worked steadfastly for:
To Become the most powerful & influential man in the country.
