I NEED YOU

PART 1

"You did what?!" Jagya yelled unable to believe what he was hearing. "You let her go? After what happened? Especially after what happened?!"

He looked around him in disbelief. He was standing in the middle of the hall at Badi haveli, having just got back from the police station , surrounded by his family who had just told him that Ganga had left and that they had let her leave .

Sumitra said "But Jagya beta, it was because of what happened that we let her go. Can't you see, we all nearly got killed because of gang..."

"GANGA wasn't the reason we were attacked Ma, it was RATAN SINGH WHO ATTACKED US!" Jagya stared ferociously at his mother daring her to contradict him silently

Sumitra stumbled back unable to recognize this furious stranger standing in front of her as her son. Jagya was breathing heavily, his eyes shooting sparks as he stared her down. Frightened she turned around seeking help from the rest of her family , only to be met with disappointed or guilty eyes

Dadisa spoke up then" It wasn't your mother's fault Jagya. Ganga decided on her own that she wanted to leave and we can't stop her. She's a grown woman , capable of taking her own decisions"

Jagya scoffed at that" Dadisa , she is 19 and the sum total of her experience is a life filled with abuse with Ratan Singh. And you let a woman like that, and one with a 1 yr old child moreover wander off on her own? Didn't anyone even try to stop her?"

Gehna looked distressed. Basant had an I-told-you-so expression on his fac. Sumitra stared at her son unable to fathom why he was so distressed at the fact that a woman who had threatened the safety of their entire family had left. Screwing up her courage she tried again to make him see reason

" Jagya , this had to happen. That woman had to leave. She was endangering the safety of our family and God knows what could have happened to us today. We have done enough for her. We took her in, gave her food and shelter, helped her educate herself , and.."

"And took it all away from her in one single stroke. Everything that we gave her , we took it all back. We asked her to treat us as her family and then demanded that she leave us and go back to treating us as strangers. We inspire her to move forward and involve ourselves in her life and the next moment ask her to leave since she is none of our concern. Hai na Sumitra?" Bhairon's voice cut her off

Everyone turned. Bhairon was slowly making his way down the stairs, his hand in a sling, his body clearly in pain. Both Sumitra and Jagya rushed towards him but he stoppd thm , his gaze focused on Sumitra

" I agree that if we hadn't asked Ganga to stay with us and made her a part of our family you would not be wrong in saying all that you did . But she did become a part of our family Sumitra and that makes whatever you said just now the epitome of cruelty."

Sumitra stared at him shocked

Bhairon continued" If you had a problem with Ganga then you should have said that the first day we met her. We could have mad alternate arrangements. But after bringing her into our house and showering her with love and care , we couldn't just throw her out Sumitra. You can't adopt a child and then decide you don't want it"

Dadisa gave a small firm nod

Jagya broke in then" Bapusa I have to find Ganga. She can't have gone far so I'll take the jeep"he said impatiently. Bhairon nodded and tossed his son the keys. Without a seconds delay Jagya grabbed them and ran out

Oh ! This is superb !!

I'm so glad you wrote this so well. This is exactly what I want to see on monday ! God bless you -

Am waiting for the other 4 parts.

This is exactly how I feel and am amazed at the amount of support Sumi's stand has !! Blaming the victim for the deeds of the abuser - is exactly like telling a raped person - you must have invited this upon yourself and give the rapist a free chit !!

I get SO MAD that people don't get Dadisa and her sons and their kids courage. Gehna - in her condition was in more pain to see Ganag go - but Sumi madam - was like - you get out now and I don't care if your hubby kills you and your son - its nothing to do with me.

How do you do that ? How can cowards sleep at night ? How can someone further beat down a person who has already been beaten down ? That is not even humane !!

Am glad Sumi will have her son and her hubby to answer to. And am also glad when she will see that she has lost the respect of the whole family - including Anandi when she hears of this.
