Part 4
Befitting reply…
But the society, this cruel world forgets all and blame the carrier than the giver..
What to do with that Monster, Chakor we cannot let that guy go free. I feel like raging himself.
WE WILL NOT… HE WILL NOT STAY QUIET.. HE WILL COME OUT. WE SHALL WAIT TO STRIKE HIM. HARD.
The eagle rose….. she got a call from Swati….
She smiled between tears.
She just went into him, Raghav, hugged her back just to get over the trauma….they just stayed in each others embrace.
He knows he has to get ready for the ordeal which she is going to plan out.
The Lion will gear up for its Eagle but till she turns into Eagle he soothed his birdie placing his chin on her head thinking
Raaghav what’s bothering you, I could not ask you earlier. He shared about Mohit and also about Gauri….He said I thought educated people prevailed sense but…. Mohit?? is like that she asked surprisingly… Yess that’s what pains me… hmmm she said.. but for Gauri… that I have planned already he said. She called Gauri and asked for Renu’s number.
She called the school and said that she will not be able to speak but if its ok she can tell Arjun to prepare for it which the Principal agreed immediately knowing Arjun’s proficiency in speeches.
************************************************
The plantation
Swati was getting back from her trauma and was in constant talk with Chakor. She was taken care of by Gauri and Savitri kaaki.
While things were moving after a week of the disheartening incident, she suddenly got a call from her village.. She being an orphan had only her old aunt in the village she stayed away from the village mostly. The call brought her shock. She quickly called Chakor…
She told Chakor, thatt he Sarpanch and the monster who had been quiet has now laid their eyes on Swati to get married. Her aunt has been pressurized to speak to her. When she asked about Maaya she was told by her aunt that she has died during her delivery oblivious that Swati is aware of the whole thing.
Swati was getting a bit worried but after she spoke with Chakor, it made her determine to seek justice for her cousin.
An iron to break iron….
Ok didi as you say I will do, but….. not to worry, Raaghav and myself will be there, but didi they will not allow strangers into the village. Hmmm its ok said Raaghav we will manage…
She called her aunt and ask her to inform the Sarpanch that she was ready for the marriage which was quickly fixed for the week after…
************************
The eye opening speech…… did open atleast a few
The school geared up for the special function organized by the welfare association regarding girl child welfare development. Since Rishab plantations had been active in social activities, the important people were present there which included Shyaam kaaka, Mohit, Rohan, Govind, Swati, Gauri, Savitri Kaaki and few more.
It was a huge crowd and many had given their speech. Everyone spoke about how girls can develop themselves, safe guard themselves and also how to take care of themselves.
Gaurav was also there. For the first time his mother had accompanied him. She met Chakor and shared the hidden truth of saying that she was never treated or respected as a human being by the men at her house andeven Gaurav never spoke to her as he was influenced by his father and his granddad, but ever since he was hit by Arjun by words and by force, he had changed his perception and the incident of Ananya at the hospital made him think about girls and feel about his mother’s plight at home. Indeed not a phenomenal change but she is seeing some change in him…. She thanked Chakor and Raaghav for their up bringing of their kids at this young age. She quickly bend her head and went back to Gaurav as the old man was watching her.
Arjun came on the stage and spoke…
He spoke the facts about the importance of a child to make a home happy, be it a girl or a boy. He said it was important not about the gender but about the character of the child which should bring pride to the parents. Looking at RagKor
He spoke on the stage drawing everyone’s attention. He slowly came to the crux of the speech.
Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswathi, Godavari….. we pray and worship and laud the rivers who have the names of the woman but actually aren’t we fooling ourselves, cheating ourselves while we are leaving the new born, thegirls to die….not allowing the girls to fly high, treating women like a slave in one’s own house.. disrespecting them should we feel proud or ashamed?? Gaurav felt bad, he held his mother’s hands with tears in his eyes. For the first time his mother kissed her son on his forehead which was noticed by Chakor and Raaghav.. Raaghav held his eagle’s hands with proud. True, act of love change and not violence.
He mentioned about the plight of the little baby which faced the death due to the negligence and he cried for few minutes… The whole crowd stood up in silence for two minutes.. He asked what sin did the child make… isit its fault to be born as a girl child?
Girls don’t bring pride??? then What did our Late Prime Minister. Smt Indira Gandhi, Jhansi ki Rani, Mary Kom, Kalpana Chawla, Dr.Shantha of the Cancer Institute, Mother Theresa do to the nation??? Didn’t theybring fame to the games, to the nation, to the medical society…
He asked the crowd to repeat what he says….
Bola Bharat Ki Jai… the crowd said…. Nahi its Bharat Maata KiJai… oh! he smirked just like the Rowdy but where does maata come if the girl is killed?? He said we pride in saying mother India but we kill the mother or the girl behind it. The crowd gave him a standing ovation…. He continued…
He said proudly, its not necessary to be a great person to gain fame but one can become great by one’s deed. He looked at RagKor and said, a girl branded as slave when she was 3 days old broke the chains to run a race against the odds put in front of her not only to raise to fame to free herself but to free her full village. She rose to fame to become the best Coach of India…ran a marathon for a good cause. She does not fear to fight against the society when she sees anything wrong. I don’t know if she will find a place in the history but she indeed has made a place in my heart, MY STRONGEST MOTHER,CHAKOR RAGHAV KUMAR whom I pride about and mumma to you lifting his right hand towards her, I promise looking at her, I will rise like you and bring pride to you and will never allow your head to bow down in front of others. Mumma, I promise I will not use violence as the solution unless required. She teared gave him a flying kiss saying MY BOY I AM PROUD OF YOU.
And to you daddy…. please don’t say you are not educated and don’t know anything as you are the one who said a Man is within a WoMan and a Male is within a FeMale as the right path is shown by a woman always. There is no man without a woman.
Daddy to you, he went on his knees when Aayansh ran up and joined him… Bowing their heads, Thank you for being the Mumma and Dadda for us always . We Love you Loads . Raaghav just could not control himself with tears ran up and hugged them. All three looked at Shyaam Kaaka and bowed down for always being the pillar for them.
Thank you, Arjun completed his speech and bowed the crowd and came down the stage running to the roses who came running to him for hugging and kissing. The family were happy but Mohit was terribly upset.
Arjun’s speech left the guests pondering ….
Raaghav came to Chakor and said, see he promised not to use violence… She smiled, Your little Rowdy is smarto he said he will not use violence as a solution unless required. He winked my son…
***************************
Renu’s house
Bhaai….. I need to go to the village………… ok said Raaghav but when you come please come with Renu,anyways that’s your personal issue. Take care he said.
Mohit there is no hurry, let her be there poisoned the mother.
He reached his wife’s house. Renu was from the village but educated till +2. She came running seeing him but he was displacing the poison of his mother.
Mohit : Mother wanted a boy and you are to be blamed
Renu: Please stop, she spoke for the first time… Blame yourself and not me.
Mohit : what? Remember you are a girl and don’t raise voice against me.
Renu: Mr Mohit your mother wants a boy and says she hates girl. What is she? A boy? And if she hates girls then she should have not made you marry a girl.
Mohit was angry… Renu he raised his hands.
Renu: she caught his hand. Are you not educated? You have done your Masters, work in a high position but master forgot his basic lessons of high school. Go check your school biology text she said disgustingly.
Mohit: you are talking too much. You have to rot here with your child if you don’t obey mom and me.
Renu: Mohit I loved you and we married but how can you be so blindfolded. I am ashamed also, don’t you know that a girl or a boy is decided by the man’s chromosomes. Shut up he said…
Renu : Mr Mohit you you dam men are to be blamed…… and I am not interested in coming with you with MY daughter as you said she is my child. I will find way to work and bring her up in life she said. With tears in eyes she turned……You can leave now, and don’t ever come back. You can stay with your mother she closed the doors, crying behind.
She loved him very much but she had to give him this rude shock for him to realise his mistake and also know that girls are not an object to be played with. She spoke to herself…Chakor Didi I have done what you have told but will he come back…. I love him… He is a very good guy but just camaflagued a bit because of his mother….
Something hit him very very hard. True….. I am educated and how can I behave like this. I feel ashamed of myself. Bhaai said right, my child, my daughter, its my blood, my princess who will be the queen in someone’s heart. I love Renu very much, how can I be so low in my thoughts. He cried. He was scared to go back to know if she will accept him. He realized his mistake. He called Raaghav , Bhaai please I am shaken, broken, can you please help me.
Ragkor drove down immediately. Raaghav knows about Mohit so well, he knows that he loved Renu too much. He was waiting outside when the Rover came. He ran and hugged him, they shared a very good bond and Mohit was treated like his own brother. Chakor got down smiling. Bhaabi…. He was choking. Renu ne…. Chakor said haaan Renu is very very angry that she has packed her stuff to……
Whaat ?? Mohit was shocked……Renuuuu called Chakor…. Open the door…… Renu opened the door with tears. Mohit ran and hugged her. Sorry Sorry I am terribly sorry, I feel so ashamed of my behavior. I am also sorry she said I too behaved a bit rude. He ran to take his daughter hugged her, kissed her. Not a minute, I cannot stay away from you both he said.
Thanks bhaai he hugged Raaghav, arey say thanks to my eagle he said. Whaat? Yes chakor didi told me to be rude with you Renu said shying. Arey you are blaming me ? Chakor smiled. No bhaabi he held her hands I am sorry for my behavior and thank you for opening my eyes.
Arey lallaa nikalo saman aur aaaaao jaldi. The Rover returned back to Shimla with the little princess which was resting on its pappa’s shoulders.
They left them at Mohit house, he called his mom and said take aarti for my wife and our house princess, the mom though was not happy but knew things have changed….
RagKor was heading to the Mansion when he held her hands and said thank you eagle for solving Mohit’s problem.
Hmmm he stopped the car nearby… Whaatt she asked, its getting late lets go kids will be waiting. Haaan you worry about all in the world but for me… he showed false anger.. hmmm my Rowdy… this is road can we go please. Atleast a kiss please…. Pouting cutely.. she kissed him on the forehead, arey please idhar he said…showing his pout…. when her phone rang… mummaaaa where are you….Its raining suddenly please come home safe said Aayansh… aagaya mere lallaaaa chotaa villain he said. She smiled but had tears.
What is it? he asked. Nothing suddenly remembered about Maaya and the baby she said. That poor child and the girl, so gruesome … how can they do that……. she cried……. Chakor please he held her hands and started the Rover. The birdie rested her head on his shoulders. He kissed her in the temple sideways holding her head. We need to be careful with Swati’s matter she said. He said yes and started to think.
****************************************
The Sarpanch to get his sar punched!!!
Swati was getting ready to go to her village. She gathered her courage as RagKor had planned to come separately as they cannot enter the village as per the local restriction.
The marriage was prepared and the wicked SarPanch was seated with the wife and the half old son who was looking lustily at Swati was on the dias.
Suddenly came a van which had the driver along with the cleaner and helper alongwith the newly inducted Lady Health Inspector. The SarPanch welcomed her and said I thought you were joining tomorrow, anyway its ok as the earlier one has left and the village needs your help. He was all smiles as the media was there as he wanted to project to the outside that he was helping a poor girl in marrying to his son without seeing any difference in social status as the local panchayat elections were round the corner.
The young man was with his camcorder and camera shooting the gathering and telecasting live on the big screen to the village and to the outside world.
The groom the monster went to change his clothes inside…..he was very happy singing while changing saying I am going to have a new bride will have more fun. I will have a boy for sure…..
Walked out the Lion in the disguise of the van driver, arey Lalla, the loudspeaker was so loud his voice was not heard outside. Thumko beta chahiyeee, twisted his arms in such a way there was internal injury. He showed a recording and said listen to me carefully else what I did to your arms I will do to your manhood so that forget a boy you will not be able to pee also properly and if you try to act smart remember showing him a gun, I will shootyou he said. The monster was a coward though a pervert shivered terribly. He went to the dias and sat near Swati. He was sweating as he saw the driver standing at a distance covering the gun and pointing at him
The SarPanch got up and spoke about his pride and saying he was so magnanimous that he was accepting the poor girl Swati as his daughter inlaw. The son suddenly got up and said I cannot marry this girl as he does not like her. The Sarpanch was shocked he said what are you talking are you mad, when the cleaner asked why what happened you only lost your wife and child so you are upset so your father is getting you married. He is great doing good to the poor girl just to boost his pride.
The health Inspector stood up and asked oh is it did the earlier wife die during delivery but I don’t have any records. The SarPanch was wild he said hey lady you are here to do what I say and don’t teach me things. If I say she died she is dead. The whole thing was recorded and telecasted.
Swati rose and said lie he is lying as Maaya did not die during childbirth but was brutally killed by these monsters crying. She was caught by the local thugs of the Sarpanch when the Lion came out raged and hit them… when the SarPanch tried to catch the Lady inspector he doubled up and gave a hard kick and said Sorry SarPaanch your sar will be punched now look there. On the live telecast the helper and the cameraman played the recording of Maaya in the hospital which explained the gruemsome way she was treated and made to kill her earlier child and also how she was chased and it showed the horror of she clinging on to her lifeless child and running and get hit by the bus. The recording was taken from the hospital CCTV footage and recorded by the Commissioner while he was at the hospital with RagKor. The SarPaanch was shocked. He asked his men to hold them when the cleaner rushed and held them at Gun point along with few others who were in the disguise of pandal erectors. The local district collector who was witnessing this though knew about the evil but was spineless took this as the right chance and cancelled the Panchayat elections and ordered the local police to arrest the evils.
The monster tried to slip away when the Lion charged him and said lalla you want boy and you treat girls like your toys one kick on his groins, ab dekengaaa kasey thu bacha kya susu bi jayengi he was uncontrollable, literally kicking him.He asked Swati to be along with the health inspector who was Chakor and asked them to get into the van. He shouted at the village people, are you all cowards, morons to give all your daughters to this scrupulous guy and spoil their life. Are you all spineless. The villagers raged and hit the thugs and chased the Sarpaanch who tried to runaway. His wife was stopped by Chakor and the Sarpaanch was mobbed by the crowd. The cleaner and helper who were Commissioner and Govind quickly surrounded the evil and took them in their custody while the collector and the police came to the spot. Seeing the Commissioner of Police (Shimla) there the local inspector was in jitters. The Commissioner chided him and said you have to be the savior of the locals but you supported evil and brought shame to your uniform.
The whole village was indeed internally happy and took this as a chance to hit the thugs also and were thanking Swati who indeed told about RagKor and also about the sad state of Maaya. Maaya’s parents were in tears but were happy that the evils were finally punished. They thanked Ragkor and Swati for their dare act to bring the evil down and send them behind bars.
Raaghav said to Commissioner … Saaab, Raaghav Sir please don’t worry we have strong evidence of the recording and the whole village is now together to give their statements so the trio cannot escape life imprisonment and I promise I will look into that they are penalized. He commended the couple again and said Madamwhy don’t you join our force too as a special officer, for which Raaghav said Saab my wife will turn into that eagle when she sense evil whether in force orout of force. She smiled at Raaghav hmmm kuch biii without the Lion the eagle cannot do anything.
Swati hugged Chakor and said didi I have no words to thank you….
Chakor was with the Welfare officer at Shimla, and was discussing as to how to spread awareness of gender equality, when Aayash cameup with a cute caricature as briefed by the Rowdy Raaghav.....
It was a woman chasing behind a man with a belan saying……. Why did you give me X when I wanted Y…..and why give a Y when I wanted X….. the poor guy running shocked with his hair sticking out…..
The staff had a hearty laugh though it was conveying the message through a simple means. Aayansh was innocently asking but mumma what is X and Y sounds like some maths equation. Chakor laughed within herself Rowdyyyy thumbinaaa….
There were phamplets printed which was giving out messages that boy or girl doesnot matter as both need to be educated to fly high toachieve their dreams. It mentioned that Pride is not on gender but on the human values one hold on to.
It was put up on all the welfare centres and also tied up with the PM’s Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao schemes.
************************
In the Plantation
Mohit was distributing sweets to all for the birth of his daughter… while increments were given to all staff. An additional increment of 10% was given to all who had girls. Mohit hugged Raaghav with tears in his eyes…
The college which Raaghav had planned to build was getting approved by the Govt and the work were being started. The campus will house Arts and Science colleges and administration team was being identified through the Rishab Trust.
While the international prime order execution was being done, there was a concern at the packing as one in out of 1000 packets was empty and identifying was a bit difficult while the packets come through the conveyor belts and was packed into the cartons automatically. The technical team was analyzing it and was coming up with various options of how to scan the packets or to use manual packing and in that case the packing standards will be compromised. The core team was discussing, while Gauri went and asked Raaghav bai, I cant understand but what is the problem in the packing as she is in the plucking and processing mainly.
Kaaka and Raaghav explained her and said we will be signing for a scanning machine which will cost much, that shrewd girl, laughed and said, bhaiiyaaa stop… we have to identify the empty packets itnahi na.. she thought for few moments ….. Haan said Raaghav.
She quickly ran to her house which was inside the plantation and brought her table fan. Raaghav and Kaaka were confused. She carried the fan and placed near the conveyor belt which was bringing the packed packets. She switched on the fan and the packets were going through fine ….after half hour one packet just flew off the belt. The team ran and picked the packet.. it was the empty packet… Simple and a practical reasoning the empty packets were flown away with the breeze from the fan. Kaaka and Raagahv were simply stunned and Gauri not realizing what a valuable solution she had given told baiyaa I shall take the fan back when the packing is over and went away her business.
Raaghav and Chakor in the evening visited Gauri’s house who was so excited to see them… Raaghav gave a form to her and asked her to sign it. She saw the form and her eyes were in tears. It was a form to sit for a private SSC examination a start for her dream to study…. She will be attending evening coaching classes and will write the examination. Her happiness knew no bounds and in all this Saavitri Kaaki was folding her hands towards RagKor…. Raaghav said Gauri, just go behind your dreams,study what ever you want to, Rishab Trust will take care of your expense, he said. Chakor said haan Gauri once you are ready let us know so that we can get you a good match and marry you. Gauri said nooooo no marriage I am not going to get married and leave this place but if I get somebody like Raaghav Baai then I don’t mind to get married she said with shy going behind Kaaki…. Oyiiii Rowdy is only for Birdie….. Chakor smiled within herself looking at her Rowdy…who was winking at her…
************************
At the Mansion
RagKor and Shyaam kaaka were discussing about other plans while the kids were playing … Arjun called Kaaka… its been long since I took you all for your regular outing how about tomorrow, yesssss jumped the cubs and roses,while Rowdy was thanking Kaaka in his hearts…..
Raaghav, called Kaaka there is an important evening gathering hosted by the Plantation Board and the Govt. missionary will be there. It is important that you attend that tomorrow evening he said. Oh No said within himself… but the respects to Kaaka he said Haan Kaaka will go….
They were in the balcony and she was looking at the cubs and the roses… one of the mansion staff brought her two year old grandson who was very cute and was playing with the roses. Chakor was admiring the little one when Raaghav came behind her scooping her..
What are you looking at, she said I am blessed that I could see my roses growing up I am able to relish and enjoy everything but the cubs,they would also been so cute with many antics na Raaghav just like that boy there…
I am so unlucky that I could not see how they were during their younger days she said… achaa wait he went down and came after sometime with an album.
She was surprised to see that he had indeed taken pictures of their growing.. she was excited to see the pictures which were so cute and she was jumping and asking him each and every incidence which was behind those pics…. He was admiring her love…. She teared as she realized he ensured that the pics where he was with the kids was always taken beside the pic frame which was in their bedroom prior to her coming there. Thank you Raaghav for making me live those moments she said…
Looking into her, he said with all love… I just love you Chakor and I savoured all the moments to show you as I believed that my Love will bring you back to me. She was lost in his words, in those eyes…. They were just in each others embrace… he lifted her chin… just to capture her rosy bud when his sweet villain called mummmaaaa hungryyyyy please come looking up to the balcony…
Aaaayiiiiiiiii she ran pushing him…. come lets go… Chakooor haaannnnn he was literally in tears like a baby running behind….
