Well so much to take... That was one hard chapter! I feel so bad for Madhu and I don't how Rishabh would ever look at that pathetic excuse of a human life again.

Keep your good work Donna! I'm sad to hear this would end soon.

This was a very beautifully written chapter

😳you had me at hello

pointing out towards some horrendous spiritual as well as political leaders we have.

That baba aaah, I cant get him out my head. I have cut his beard and beat him black and blue in my dreams countless number of times. he just...😡

I have something that i am really detesting here. am actually not liking Roger here. You dont do that to a child not even for education. I cannot understand why was she left in a brothel. What Kind of experience was he trying to impart to her. He could very well have been late and it would have caused some huge ammount of anguish to her for life. He was mentoring her to become what...I fail to understand. i am thinking in lines of a child (adolescent) suffering all this...who already has suffered wreckless parenting to say the least.

I agree. The method that works is not always the right method. Every character is flawed, you choose whose faults you are willing to look past to like em.

Madhu must be a born activist because if brothels and rapes could create leaders,thinkers and activists like her we would have plenty and the world would already be a heaven.

We all are humans and we will always be flawed. To Me Roger and Bittuji are flawed beyond correction. It is only RK whom I can look above and beyond. i am hoping he will se Bittuji for the man he is.

That proves it. I am watching way too much Game of Thrones. Time to back off.😛

By all means and Thanks for the honor

Thankyou for writing this chapter. I loved the baba being pulled down from their throne. Only wish that someday this happens in reality too

You are welcome. In real life, doubt it. Did happen to one baba (he was accused and I believe arrested on multiple charges of sexual assault) but as soon as the media storm calmed down, it was back to square one. *sigh*

Chapter 13

I picked up the keys and walked right in to the Four Seasons where my Madhu was being bombarded by the shutterbugs. I watched from the sidelines as she walked up to and inside our favourite room in the premises. She had given me a side glance, acknowledging my presence. When the coast was clear, I turned on my keycard and sneaked in. She was calm and collected as always, not a hair out of place.

"So, I heard. Why didn't you tell me all this time? Had I known what was bothering you, I would have done something. I wondered why my fair maiden was in distress, why she was aloof and unempathetic? I wondered why this woman…"

"Was high in testosterone. Is that what you mean? If I do not agree with your notion of femininity naturally, I must be a closeted male. This must explain everything. The only way a woman can be assertive is if the men have failed her. Am I right? Only assault victims are allowed wandering out of your locked box of female stereotypes. Had I been a 'normal' woman, I would have been cheering for Roger with pom poms and skimpy clothes. I would have stuck to elitist tea parties to converse about equality. God forbid I mention the red lights, only attempted rape can explain this daring act. Only a hatred of men fuels a woman to fight for human rights because for 51% of the world's population these rights are optional. Isn't it Mr. Rishabh Kundra? My rights are only applicable when convenient to your adoptive father's political interests. Are you here to explain yourself or him, or both? I am not me because he did this. I refuse to give him that much credit. I am me because that is what God put me on this earth for. I will continue to work and yes, that outside was political suicide. I regret not a sentence that I spoke in the last hour. You may leave while your party propaganda is still in the packaging".

What had I said? I wish I could take back my words but, I could not. So, I hugged her for my own good. For my own comfort, I held on to her beliefs like I was evangelic.

"I resigned from the Party on my way out. Roger is sending you on a long vacation in an hour. Let us fly out to Congo. You said you wanted to go. Plus, those service trip industry people need our monies".

This was the best impression I could put on when every vessel in my body was pulsating at twice its capacity.

"You have a girlfriend", she reluctantly caved in to my beating cage of ribs.

"She had told me it was over the second I left Jayte".

His voice reflected hurt. This was a familiar blow for me. For him, on the other hand, it was all too unnatural. With my one decision, his world had come crashing down. He had lost faith in everyone he held in high regard. He had lost a family. I nodded in affirmative and we were flying on the next plane out of the country. I thanked my lucky stars for having the luxury to retreat when times got tough.
