A flash back
Ria beta tell me what’s bothering you Chakor asked. The little girl shivered terribly.. spoke the ugly thing.
Ria was going by this new school van as the old one stopped. This van was taking around 15 children bu tRia was to board first as she was staying a bit far from the school. Uncle drives and bhaiya is the escort.
Bhaiya bhaiyaaa she cried…cried terribly….Chakor hugged her. He used to touch me showing her front, thighs, back down, Chakor cringed. He makes me sit beside him and sometimes on his lap . he hugs me very tight and tries to kiss me too… she cried terribly…and one day he try put his hands…in betw…..my….…but by then sneha came. Chakor held her tight. No No please don’t relive that moment. She hugged her…. Hey bagwan whats happening in our society….. Ria cried, aunty I am scared, I don’t want to go to school, I don’t want to go by the van, that bhaiya and the driver uncle are bad. Mummy thinks they are good. Chakor cried terribly but with great difficulty, hardening her heart, she asked Ria tell me one thing dear… if they tried to harm you what I mean is did they try to rem..ove… yo…ur ….clo….she could not complete when Ria just went into Chakor… nooo aunty nooo but that bhaiyaa is very bad…very bad…. she shivered.
They both cried . She gathered herself, then she wiped Ria’s tears. Gave her water. She said don’t worry, nothing will happen to you hereafter. Aunty has come na nothing will befall you…. You have to be bold and do what I say.. No No aunty he will hurt me I am scared… she said look at me … nothing will happen you are brave and bold. You tried to help me during the marathoning… you can fight the bad…you need to be strong… I am there, Arjun’s daddy will be there. Thumhe kuch nai hoga!!! The birdie turned into the eagle and started to think her plan of actions….
She called Raaghav and told him what she wanted him to do.….Hearing her he raged. He came running after meeting his IT guy. When Raaghav came in, Ria was hugging Chakor and going into her…hiding her face. He cringed seeing the little one so traumatised.
She said Ria, showing her a small button which had the spy camera fitted in it with a microphone… pin this in your uniform and do what I say. Donot fear, Uncle andme will be behind your van. You tell him that he should not touch you… we will be watching on the phone… she showed the phone which was connected to the spy camera.. don’t worry be bold.
Aunty, but I am very scared. Trust me, Chakor said. Raaghav said let me break his bones now. No Raaghav be calm we need to catch them with evidence. Ria, You don’t even be scared to beat him if needed she said… don’t tell your mumma, she will be scared. You tell her that you will go to school. But aunty.. he will tell police and he will again tou……. Nothing will happen to you. You are a brave girl. You are going to do something brave which will help many children like you. You trust aunty na she said. Ria nodded yes and hugged Chakor.
The next day she wore the button on her uniform and got in….Govind drove the Rover while RagKor were in the backseat watching the phone. They were recording the whole happening. The Lion was raging….. impatiently… the moment the escort made the advance, he lost his cool completely Govind GO TO THE VAN NOW he shouted. The Rover raged scraping alongside the van… he Jumped on to the van holding the window bar…one hard kick the door sprung open and he went inside……)
***************************************
In the Commissioner’s office.
Raaghav please calm down… how can I calm down…. Such persons should be shot dead or butchered… he was raging… poor child what agony and trauma she is undergoing...How can such weeds be in this society. He said Saab I don’t care…. Ensure they are charged under severe sections… else mark my words, if I see them in Shimla anywhere I will kill themfor sure. Raaghav pleeeease Chakor was calming him down. Let law take its course… what law ?…what take its course?…he was irritated. She gave him water.. No he nodded. she said if I say drink, drink… He drank and went to another nearby empty room as he just could not calm himself…she excused herself and ran behind him…she went in closing the door.
Raaghav please calm down, his eyes were flaring thinking of the incident in the van…how can they be like that to a small flower, that child is a bud, just like our roses… she rose to him and hugged him calming him rubbing his back. Raaghav please hold yourself… we need to help that child come out of trauma make her smile again… her innocence is robbed but lets make her smile and evoke her confidence.. pleeeaaase she cupped his face.. hmmmm he hugged her tight closing his eyes gaining the strength from her through that hug…. Shall we go she asked, he cupped her face, nodding with a smile they came out.
Commissioner assured since they have proper evidence they will see to that they are behind the bars. Also being a minor, the child’s name will not come in the media, also she will not be called to court and tha the will take care of everything. Knowing Rishab Plantation and about RagKor the police did not want to do anything wrong too. Rishab Plantations were always supporting the Police too through their trust in their welfare activities. Kaaka called the Commissioner and informed him that RagKor nowhere should be troubled and everything has to happen in confidence as he did not want trouble on the kids too. Kaaka was very practical as he was worried such predators normally have some backing by the politicians and thugs too. The Commissioner assured all in confidence will be done. Luckily these were petty fellows.
The police ensured both were behind bars and moved their imprisonment out of Shimla to Delhi and charged on non-bailable offence.
This is not enough said Chakor… Mam what do you want to do. We could catch only two,but there are many out in the large. We cannot wait again for another child to go through this agony. Something has to be done she said.
The commissioner said that they will do routine check and search on the school vans regularly. No commissioner saab,predators are in any form not necessary school van. They are in open in the form of maybe a neighbor, a helper or even one’s own relatives. Creating Awareness is important. But to avoid the recurrence of the present incident, the commissioner said he will call for all school principals meet and make them aware and to check about theirschool bus drivers and escorts if their background verification is done. If possible to install CCTV inside the vans which carry school children.
She suggested Raaghav that with the help of the volunteers of the welfare scheme centers to organize road shows highlighting the ugly truth of the society to warn the parents and also the children at the prime locations in Shimla over the weekends where the apple and horticultural melas will be held. The Fear in predators to be instilled.. it should prove that the society is watching them and are not silent spectators to crime. Commissioner was in awe he said she is right, Raaghav said Saab My Eagle is always right with pride.
The Commissioner who was always with the Raaghavs who always loved the Twin boys said infact they can sketch out images of the happenings along with the police force and he with the help of the state administration can put up bill boards across the city along with a toll free number so that anyone can call them if they sense any wrong happening. Or also the children who go through the trauma of abuse can call them to seek help too in total confidence.
RagKor thanked him while he said he was so proud of them as they always rise above and raise hell when they sense anything wrong happening in the society. He applauded Raaghav for his bravery while the dude said everything is because of his Eagle while he is just a catalyst. No Raaghav nothing can happen without you she said, sharing an eyelock at the Commissioner’s cabin…. He left them alone….
***************************************
Things were indeed settling fine and Ria was counselled well.
For the safety sake Raaghav insisted that Ria change their house and they moved close to the school. Ria went through few psychiatry sittings alongwith Chakor and her mother to help her come out of trauma.
The boys were happy that Ria was back to her normal, happy…but her innocence was lost..
she started to go to school. Raaghav used to pick her and drop along with the kids.
Ria thanked Arjun for asking Chakor to take care of her. Ria told Ar about the bhai very very briefly and Ar literally fumed…...
Arjun asked her why didn’t you tell us, I would have told daddy and we would have broken his bones…. Aayansh said bhai… good you told mumma, mumma told na that we should inform the elders first.
Hmm still Ar was bit agitated. Ria said Ar infact uncle ney usko ithna maara ithnaa maaara bhaiyaa gaiyaa hogaya she laughed….She laughed after a long time with her heart out… Arjun was happy laughed along with her. Aayansh was saying haan hamara daddy tho Akshay Kumar hai… dushoom dushoom all the three had a good laugh…
Arjun, Ria and Aayansh promised that they will remain best friends and will not hide anything among them… she said you are so lucky to have RagKor as mumma and daddy…. The Roses came running to them bhaiiiii, Riaaaa…. Arjun was looking at them hugging them close to him…. Both the boys lifted them and kissed them on their foreheads.
They all ran to their dada who was waiting with his Rover…. He dropped Ria at home…
She got down and asked Raaghav to bend down.. She hugged him with tears and said thank you Uncle and kissed on his cheek. He kissed her back on her forehead wiping her tears. Take care beta..
