Part 2

Burden or Blessing??

Bet(a)i– a new offspring sometimes thrown off not to spring.

Bet…..a (or) i…. if “a” lifted up high, if “i” shunned to die? Why….

Every new offspring is like a bet ….a game played in life…. If it ends with ‘a ‘ (beta) its lifted up high in air with smiles….. but if its with an ‘I’ (beti) its shunned low even to die.. Why???

Are Betas blessings and betis burden???

*******************************

At the plantation

When are you bringing Renu and the newborn…. Not soon bhai…said Mohit… Arey why …

beti hai…. Jaldi nahi….. maa ne kaha

That answer from Mohit stunned Raaghav….. Tho kya….

Something cringed him…. its beti yes, the princess of the family, the one who is going to be the Queen of someone’s heart and life…

Mohit, this is your child… yes Bhai but maa wanted a boy…. Hmm sad Renu was not capable of birthing a boy which will lift my family’s pride….

Doesn’t girls lift the pride… Bhaai sorry…. This is personal … aap.

Right Mohit, he walked away thinking……walked past Swati…. To his room

Swati was hearing their conversation, when she remembered her friend’s words

No Doctor…. Please please help me…. I cannot see my life being killed in front of me… but why? And how do you know its going to be…………………. she cried.... didi…. You know… No No that oleander seed… NOOOO she cried…..didi please…..

Tears were falling from her eyes…Will the days ever change???

Raaghav bhaaaii! called Savitri kaaki… what happened….. why are you upset..

Kaaki tell me you are a woman…will you not likea girl born in your family… She kept quiet and said yes its sad.. she saw Gauri, doing the work smiling…. She said… look at that girl chirpy smiling girl but behind her smile is sadness.. she wanted to study but her grandfather was against, her father was against saying when a girl study finding a match is difficult as one has to pay high dowry to get an educated guy and no one will do the household work too ….. So she buried all her dreams to avoid being a burden to the family… So here she is but luckily she is blessed with a good bhai looking at him…

But, I love my cubs, they are my life and equally, I love my roses they are my lifeline and my Queen is my strength. Not all are like you bhaai aap tho heera hai,she said… Isn’t boy or girl in god’s hands…he was thinking..

She wiped her tears, he saw Gauri…..did see Swati too wiping her tears and walking away…..

Not because of his girls but because of the thoughts his heart was heavily burdened….

***************************************

At the Welfare office

Chakor was with the welfare officer, looking at the various schemes introduced for the girl child development and she was asked to come for a shoot in two days to talk about the same as the ambassador.

She was about to start to the school when the phone rang!!!

A call which brought the ugly side to the world…. a little life found in a trash bin??

The officer was taking down the information.

Oh ok ok,, is it a baby girl, just born… ok we will come with the health centre doctors.. He called the doctor…

Whaaaatttt??? Bachi in the trash…. Without even thinking Chakor felt heavy. How can this happen? Oh god how the life will be suffering… where,how, Saab I will also go with the doctor…

Hope the baby is fine… daak baba… but how can it be in the trash… where is the mother… if its just born how did it come to the trash…. She shuddered…. The climate though pleasant will be cold for the new life… she teared…

************************

At the school compound

Not having patience Arjun and the other boys ran behind the Security kaaka and the school attendant.

There was cries… a black cloth bundled was shaking with the cries…. The security looked into and was shocked

A new life which would have seen the light a few hours ago,the world thinking it will be welcomed with warm hands was ruthlessly wrapped in a torn cloth and thrown into the trash bin… it could not cry aloud too but was battling for life….. Kaaka went closeby and saw… yeh tho chori…… yes the first step of the chori was to chodna nahi himmath, to fight to survive… but will it…..?????

Arjun and the boys were shocked…. A baby in the trash, how can it be…

The passers by saw and one old man said… yeh tho honahi tha…chori haaa chodo… aagaya bojbankar is duniya mey..

Arjun was perpelexed…..for a few seconds he felt as looking at his rose, the day he say the new pink life in the hospital beside his mumma came in front of his eyes…

The old man’s words came as a surprise…. Why….. are girls burden???

He heard the ambulance… and saw Chakor getting down, crying running along with the Doctor. Gaurav saw Chakor, he never liked her as a Coach too as she was strict and he felt thatshe was poking her nose in the school matters and he being in class 9 considered himself to be very senior. She used to pick him for his arrogant behavior.His uncle was working for the Laal plantation and lost his job but was offered at Rishab but he was into pilferage that he was kicked out by Govind.

Mumma… Arjun called but by the time the security kaaka asked the boys to get back inside the school.

The baby was taken by the doctors to the Council dispensary while Chakor received a call from the school Principal.

**********************

Aa was telling, Arjun it’s a baby… how can the baby come tothe bin??? He started to worry.

Gaurav: See I told you … you heard that old kaaka was saying girls are burden that’s what my grandpa say too… We don’t have girls in our family…. Lifting his collars only boys.. uggh..

In all this chaos the school rang the bell for closure….

The roses came running to be with their bros.. they stood when they saw Ar with Gaurav. Aayansh held them… Ad, An be with me… Piya was also there holding to Ria…

Arjun : that’s a new born baby…..

Gaurav: yes see all it know is to cry…its already thrown away…good it dies…

Piya started to cry looking at Gaurav. Gaurav came down closer to Piya and smirked… touching Piya in her cheeks slightly pushing her ….cry baby… when Aditi came and held Piya… No cry……

One hit Taapaal tap on Gaurav… No touching Piya….

Aayansh and Ria moved back the roses and Piya

Arjun : was angry… girls are not cry babies and they are not weak…and don’t use such words

Gaurav : yes they are.. see your mumma is also crying and coming…she is also a weak one gave birth to girls….all she does is to poke into others matters, because of her my uncle lost his job with the Laals as they shut their business.

Arjun: just could not control himself Gaauraav,he held his collar and one hard punch, the nose bled, he rolled on the ground….Not a word about my mother… She does not cry or is weak nor pokes her nose… She is CHAKOR RAAGHAV KUMAR one kick on his leg…. MY STRONG MOTHER

The security and the other staff had a tough time to control and calm down Arjun…

Aaayansh ran to the office and called Dadddy… please come fast, Arjun is unable to control his anger…

The Rover raged to the school, while Chakor was called by the Principal.

*******************************

In the Principal’s office

Mrs.& Mr. Raaghav… called the Principal… the Lion was standing beside his birdie

Aa and Ria were outside holding on to the roses.

I am sorry but Arjun has hit Gaurav very badly that he has to be admitted in the nursing home.

Even Aditi has hit Gaurav….

Aditi: Gaurav touched and pushed Piya so Adi tappaal tap… Gaurav bura the rowdy rose told and ran to Aayansh.. …

Principal: He has to apologise to him and his grandfather is here.

Arjun: Sir, I did not do wrong but Gaurav…..you can check with the boys.

Principal : No Arjun I don’t want to hear anything and you have already ruffled with him earlier too.

Chakor: No Arjun…..I have told you that you cannot hit anyone and why are doing the same..

Arjun : But mumma….

Chakor : You have to apologise..

Principal: I am sorry but if Arjun does not apologise he will need to be suspended….

Arjun : Mummaaa…. He fell at her feet…. You can punish me what ever you wish but I cannot tolerate a word about you…. I will break anyone, I am sorry….

Chakor : held Arjun’s hands… Arjun I know you will be having a reason but violence is not the solution… the society will say I am a bad mo……. He closed her mouth…

Arjun : Mumma please you too not a word about you….AND MY MUMMA IS CHAKOR CAN NEVER BE BAD...OR WRONG.

she put her head down. Ok I will apologise, said Chakor

Arjun : Mumma just for you I will say sorry to the granddad as he is elder but not to Gaurav as he did wrong in saying girls are burden and more than that he spoke about you….

Raaghav went to the grand dad and said I am sorry for my boy had hit your grandson but, he turned to the Principal and said Saab, please for once check with the other boys what had really happened and if Arjun is at fault, I will ask him to apologise to Gaurav but if he is not….. the Lion just gave a glaring look at the granddad for he could not tolerate the attitude he was showing and the words of Arjun that Gaurav spoke about his birdie was hitting him.

But Raaghav, said the Principal..

Raaghav: Principal saab you know about the boys and about my wife Chakor. Please think and let me know. He walked with his straight gait, holding Arjun by his shoulders.

Chakor : Raaghav….

Raaghav: Lets go bring the girls, I shall bring the Rover, roared the Lion without turning back.

She followed with the roses and Aayansh.

Arjun : Daddy….

Raaghav : lets go home and talk, I know my cub will not do anything wrong. Thanks daddy… he hugged him… but mumma is upset with me, said Arjun…. No…. she too knows…..

The Rover returned back to the Mansion silent with various emotions plying in each’s mind. Aditi was hugging Arjun and was kissing him, Bhai acha… Gaurav bura…. Aayansh and Ananya was with them.

***********************************

The dinner was quiet and Raaghav placed the roses in their mini beds, kissing them.

He hugged the cubs to their rooms… Aayans hexplained to Raaghav what happened and he listened very carefully and quietly.

In all this Arjun looked at Raaghav and said…daddy are girls a burden?? Are they weak??? Why?? Why was the baby in the trash….

My mumma is not weak, she is the strongest… I love her… he cried… Hope mumma talks to me… She will don’t worry he said wishing him good night.

Aayansh hugged Arjun… bhai everything will be fine…… praying within himself mumma please talk to bhai and find the reason…..

****************************

Chakor was in their balcony with tears…. Raaghav noticed…. Came running to her… She cried on him..Raaghav is my upbringing not fine? Why is Arjun like this…. He hugged her… it will be alright…. He loves you a lot. But Raagahav….violence is not the answer for anything… that will ruin him. The society is going to blame me that I am not a good mother…..

Mummaaaa…. She turned to see her strong boy in tears… at their door..

He came to her…. She turned away... he hugged her .. please I cannot bear you not talking to me... Raaghav stood silent looking at the mom and son…

She cried holding him, caressing his head... the next what he asked shocked her...

Mumma tell me why did that old passerby kaaka say girls are a burden, why did he say the girl baby to die?….. how is the baby at the hospital…?..

Chakor’s phone rang…. She was shocked to hear the news……. She cried cried….

*******************************************************************

In a remote village

It was in the middle of the night….. she was crying uncontrollable holding her little life close to her heart… it was clinging to her with its tiny fingers…searching for her bosoms to feed upon…

Nooo please…. We are left with no option… please harden yourself….. she was made to gave with her own hands that milk… not hers… but of the seed’s…..into the little pink mouth, cried Swati holding Chakor… didi…… she jittered…..

Sorry I am totally hardening myself to write the harsh reality that is still faced in the deep South India atleast as I validated the facts before penning it.. till date…….

The Eagle will not sit and cry….. nor will she sit quiet…the Lion will be with his Queen and the Cub to bring a new leaf…..

You are to be blamed said Mohit to Renu….No….. for the first time she spoke.. Mr Mohit you you dam men are to be blamed…… Should I rip you!!! For the first time…. The tables are being turned…..

Braze your hearts as I will be writing some harsh facts please but .. I need to

Thanks Sritama.. Yes we all are responsive in a way as we are the society

Part 2:

This part was so heartbreaking Sumi, I couldn't control my tears & my anger too, have mixed emotions. Mohit's words were so annoying, such a disgusting thought he has 😡😡. I feel so bad to think in which era we are living. What happened to Swati's friend was very pathetic😢😢. The people of this kind of crappy mentality live around us, even doctors help these people in such heinous act like feticide😠😠.

The newborn was found in a laystall was so harrowing. I can't control my anger to them who threw the newborn to trash to die or may be was forced to do it by family pressure. This is cruelty but the harsh reality of our society.

I don't know when people will understand that girl child is not the burden but blessings of God. Your heading is so apt.

I don't like Gaurav's arrogancy, saying that they don't have any girl in their family by lifting collars. Isn't his mom a woman & a part of the family ? But how can I blame him as the elders teach their offspring the wrong, it's so saddening. Loved Ad's tappal tap & Ar's kick & punches to Gaurav though I very much agree with Chakor that violence is not the solution of any kind of problems but it's natural to get angry in such situations. Ar is a mixture of all the quality of both Raghav & Chakor. He is sensible, sympathizer, but couldn't stand silently seeing anything wrong happen in front of him. I liked Raghav's interference in between the Principal & Chakor, his trying to handle the situation & to go deeper into the incident, the way he indirectly warned Gaurav's grandpa & went out with family with such attitude, was just wow 👌👌

The balcony scene, the mom-son emotional scene was so beautifully written, had the touch of reality.

The precap is so heart wrenching, it seems you are going to penned about some gruesome incident, I'm trying to harden my mind so that I can read the truth.

Heart touching convo with kaaki! Mohit and gaurav, appalling..... it's all about the up bringing I guess!

Gaurav and his family need to be taught a lesson, but Chakor is right violence isn't the answer.

Loved how the older kids protected the roses and haveli scenes were heart touching.

Looking forward to the next part.

Brutality

Warning – Quite disturbing please braze yourself.

***************************************************************

In the plantation

It was dark late night….

Swati was in her apartment, crying thinking of the mornings cene…..she got a call from a unknown number. Didi please please come to me…….. crying profusely… I told you woh log muje marregaa….

She got shocked… …. Where are you…..Shimlaaaa….the line gotcut.

Heloo, hellooooo, hey bagwan…..

How did she come?….. when did she come?… where is she?…..Swati’s village was an hour away from Shimla. Where will I go search for her…… by the time there was a siren sound from the plant, a worker had fallen down and had to be rushed to the hospital…she called the ambulance and as the HR &IR officer, she called Govind and escorted the worker……

************************************

In the mansion…..

Arjun came to her…. She hugged him… Mumma tell me why did kaaka say girls are a burden, why did he say the girl baby to die?….. how is the baby at the hospital…?.. Mumma please talk to me…. I cannot bear you silent…..daddy please tell mumma….

Chakor’s phone rang…. She was shocked to hear the news…….She cried cried….

Raaghav it’s a call from the health centre…. Lets go….

Arjun please take care of the roses, be in their room, we shall come….

Mummaaaa…. Listen to me please…..ok mumma…

They rushed down…… to the Rover.

Arjun woke Aayansh and they both very slowly went into the roses room…

Aayash slept on the couch while Ar was with his computer outside the room.

Why are baby girls killed???? Google came up with shocking answers, the answers which would scareany normal 11 year old but he is the combo of Rowdie and Birdie… he read it calmly… noting down points……

Ananya started to suddenly cry….. AA ran what Anan… bhai…pet me dardh… awwwhhhhhh she cried…

Arjunnnnn called Aa…. Arjun called the Mansion driver….Kaaka please get the car we need to go to the hospital. Raamu kaaka escorted the kids to the hospital……. Arjun babu call bhaisaab. No kaaka, mumma and daddy have gone on an important work… we shall go to the hospital and call daddy. it was the same hospital where Gaurav was being treated…

Girija took Aditi who was sleeping to her room.

Ananya was on Aayansh, whining…mummaaaa. Bhai dard a aaahhhhhh……he was soothing her back, bhaiyaa hainaa, kuch nahi hoga…. Sab teekhoga…. Hugging his neck the little was soothing herself sucking her thumb….

They drove to the same hospital where the worker was being taken to.

*************************

In the health centre….

Chakor was crying profusely…. No no why is it to happen like this. The little life was battling for its life as it was in a very bad shape . We cant do anything here as we donot have the facility told the Health centre doctor.

The baby had been born only that morning and had not been weaned… it had been gasping for breath and due to the weather its lungs were infected too.

Ok prepare the child we shall take her to the hospital ran the Lion to his Rover.

Daak baba please please, she cried when she saw something moving behind their Rover.

She told Raaghav….. drop us and go…..

The hospital was near by….

He saw the plantation vehicle and also the Mansion vehicle..

What’s happening…..he drove back as instructed by Chakor…..but called Govind…

****************************************

In the Hospital

The baby was rushed to the ICU of the neonatalogy ward….

The health centre had informed the police and the inspector was there who saw Chakor and informed the Commissioner, who himself came to the hospital...Mrs. Raaghav what happened. Chakor and the Health Inspector briefed him.

Time was ticking……..

*******************

The worker had fallen and sprained the ankle, luckily nothing major. He was given firstaid. Swati and Govind was there…..Govind got the call from Raaghav and told Swati to wait there.

Chakor saw Swati…. What happened?, she briefed her and said she was waiting for Govind but at the same time she was restless and looking ather mobile nonstop… tears rolling down.

Chakor saw Arjun walking with Raamu kaaka, she ran to him kya hua, before Arjun could say, Ananya jumped to her… crying… holding her stomach…. She took her to the children ward along with Swati and was given first aid. Luckily it was cholic and gas and she was alright the moment she was given the digestive medicine.. she jumped on to Aayansh hugging him,smiling… bhai… pet…teek hogayi smiling….

Raaghav walked in and the moment he saw his cubs he just ran to them while Govind escorted someone.

Dadddyy…. My princess, what happened, kissing her all over…Chakor told Raaghav and hugged Arjun for his smart actions… kissing him and Aayansh.. Raaghav was carrying Ananya when she saw through the opening of the door opposite to them..

It was Gaurav, bandaged his leg and was trying to reach for water which was kept beside him on the side table… he could not reach it and his grandad was sleeping. He tried calling but the old man was snoring to glory to sleep… he tried to bend pulling his IV when the stand was shaking…trying to reach the water.

Daddy put me down Anan said…. She quickly got down running to the room, while Aayansh and Arjun followed her… Anan….. Arjun caught the falling stand. Ananya took the tumbler of water and gave it to Gaurav…. Lo bhai… she said…. Aayansh held Gaurav from turning over falling down. Gaurav looked at the little one holding the water in her hands…. Not thinking of anything but gave him the water. The granddad woke up hearing the rumblings…Raaghav ran and stopped at the door, allowed the boys to handle it. Chakor followed…

Gaurav cried….. taking the water from the little hands…drinking… touching her forehead thank you….. she asked Aa to lift her and hugged him and slept off… he walked back and Arjun kept the stand and turned back…. Hey how did you come raised the old man when Gaurav called Arjun…… Ar turned back…. He just said I am sorry…..

The boys walked back to their parents…. Chakor kissed Arjun on his forehead both in tears… mumma I am sorry for …. She said shhh… I love you but please no violence… No mumma I will not raise my hands… it was a very emotional moment and the Lion just hugged them all… He asked them to go to the Mansion safe….

******************************************

They were going to the Neo-natalogy ward when they heard a shrieking noise… NOOOOOOOO…. They both ran……

Nooo nooo a young woman not more than in her 19 was crying profusely…. She was shabby, fragile, trembling….seeing through the small glass panel into the ICU….

Chakor ran….. Swati who was taking back the worker stopped at the shriek, eyes tearing she ran to the ICU…

The doctor came out with a very very hard face. Looking at RagKor, I am sorry we could not help save the little one… she fought a loosing battle but fell prey to it. The commissioner was there.

Chakor cried cried while she stopped seeing the fragile one covered in the rug crying profusely… No no… she looked at Raaghav. Yes, as you said this was the one who was behind the Rover at the Health Centre. Govind brought her here but she looks terribly traumatized…

She must be the mother of the child said Chakor… Raaghav was shocked..

Maayaaaa…. Swati came running to that girl….. removing her rug…. Maayaaa how did you come here… what happened…. The girl was inconsolable.. she turned shocked seeing Swati. Didi didi… she hugged her… maine bola na, who log muje maarengey…. Lo maardiya mera bachi koooo… she cried… the nurse and the doctor tried to help her but she was shrieking out. Swati calmed her Maaya please please tell me what happened, where is your baby…crying … She looked at Chakor…she is Maaya from my native… crying…… Maaya how did you come here. Why did you not call me… no didi they did not allow me…

Chakor was surprised but she knew that the mother of the baby should be somewhere nearby as a mom’s heart cannot leave the baby….

She went nearby and very slowly very slowly hugged her….Allowed her to cry her heart out…. please please tell us what happened… she gave her water. No no please give me poison, I have to die.. I cannot live in this cruel world. Chakor looked at Raaghav and the Dr. the doctor gave her a light sedative to calm her down… she was given fluids as she was weak, she was dressed her wounds… and also treated on emergency for the post natal bleeding.

She calmed after few minutes and unfurled the Brutality………….

****************************

The brutality……. Disturbing I am sorry read at your risk. Have tissues andwater beside.

Maaya the young girl in her 18 was wanting to study like her cousin Swati who with the help of donations from NGO was pursuing her Masters. The village Sarpanch in 60s wanted Maaya to be married to his 30 year old son Ratan , who had lost his first wife during child delivery and wanted a male child as heir to their power and pride.Due to the poverty and also not able to stand against the powerful Sarpanch she was given in to marry much against her wish. The Monster husband was rude with the flower and was treating her like a sex toy and she became pregnant at that very young age within a month. All the while the Sarpanch and his wife were telling her that she should birth a baby boy and not a girl… She shrugged in fear as the monster was rude with her even though she was pregnant which made her weak physically and psychologically. She delivered but much to her dismay it was a girl. The little pink life opened its mouth to feed from the bosom but was pulled away brutally….

She feared terribly as the reality was hitting her…. She was abused, scolded, hit on her abdomen by belt for giving birth to a girl who cannot bring pride to their family.

She did not have even the strength to cry when ….the cruel wife of the sarpanch(the motherinlaw) made her do something which any mother in the world would die rather than do.

It was in the middle of the night…..Maaya was crying uncontrollable holding her little life close to her heart… it was clinging to her with its tiny fingers…searching for her bosoms to feed upon…it was a darkroom…

Nooo please…cried Maaya. Her mother walked to her.. with tears beta…We are left with no option… please harden yourself….. she was given a small bowl with a little of milk…. The milk made out of the poisonous oleander seeds….she was made to give with her own hands that milk… not hers… but of the seed’s…..into the little pink mouth… No… maai why didn’t you kill me when I was born…. She was forced to feed the little mouth bundled in the cloth placed in the basket in the dark room and she was made to sit outside wait till the life calmed itself… (I just teared writing this but this is the reality happening in the remote villages.. the little ones are either given this oleander seeds milk or a rice grain to choke and die, trembling shivering). They buried the one which did not see the sun or the moon in their house backyards…..No Govt nor local panchayats could do anything to this. This has been happening for ages…

Within three months even before her body could recoup, the monster preyed on her for his bodily pleasure, making her pregnant again… she cried cried, called Swati, they both ran to the doctor…

No Doctor…. Please please help me…. I want to abort she said…

I cannot see my life being killed in front of me…by me… the health centre doctor was new… she was surprised. but why? If it’s a girl again they will make me kill the child. I cannot do that.

The doctor said how do you know its going to be a girl… ……………. Maaya cried.... holding Swati didi…please tell the doctor.You know… No No that oleander seed milk… NOOOO she cried…..didi please…the doctor refused to go ahead of the abortion.. stating it was against govt. rules to reveal the sex and also to do abortion without the husband’s approval.

Maaya jittered…. Feared as the D day was coming through… it came….. that day morning she delivered the child…. Only to find it was a girl again… she was weak… her uterus was bleeding terribly… but she gathered herself, took her little one wrapped in the dirty cloth… and in hiding boarded the bus to Shimla…

The Sarpanch and the monster knew about it and was chasing her. She curled herself under the seat and was closing her little one so that it does not cry which was asphyxiating the little one’s lung. The bus stopped at the bustop near the School compound… the men were chasing… she covered herself with a rug from the roadside and went to the public booth and tried to call Swati the only number she could remember but the phone got cut as she did not put in the coin. To hide the child she put it inside the nearby trash bin….. before she could go….. the baby cries were heard.

She was running behind the ambulance like a mad one….. sitting there to know the plight of the little one…. Somebody gave her apiece of bread and tea thinking she was a begger.

She saw the little one being taken away by the Rover and she could not race with the Rover so lagging when Govind just picked her, she could not even fight as she was weak, he brought her to the hospital.

Swati hugged maaya and both were hugged by Chakor who cried with them. Hey bagwan whats this?

The Lion was shocked, roaring, raging, curling his fingers as he just wanted to split the monster into pieces and throw him to the street side dogs.

The nurse brought the lifeless baby and she hugged herself to it crying her heart out…

She went hysterical…. I know this will happen…they will catch me when Chakor tried to calm her saying RagKor will protect her and get her husband punished. But she did not hear, she held the baby to her tight.

No No you all cannot do anything.. they are powerful… that monster will take me and again torture me and make me pregnant again… she just clutched her baby and ran ran towards the gate. Raaghav shouted Chakor, who came to sense and ran, sister stop stop…

Maaya ran hysterical, no no they will kill me they will make me kill again as I cannot birth a boy…. She ran to the gate on the roads hysterically only to be hit by a speeding bus and thrown high to the corner…. It was horrible but the hands was holding her little lifeless one while she turned lifeless too.

Maayaaaaaa shouted Swati who was held by Chakor and Raaghav…. Who fainted down…..

RagKor froze…..

Swati was in a state of shock and the mutilation was beyond words and could not be kept in the mortuary too.

The police wrote about the accident in the papers specially in the village edition but none came to claim… The final rites was organized at the Plantations cost.

(I am really sorry but I teared a lot writing this part while the baby and the mother did die a brutal death in real, I tried to weave the story around to fit in here with certain fictitious characters like Swati and Renu and the scenes too to make the eagle and Lion rise to the atrocities. Though it cannot be curtailed but awareness can be created)

************************************

At the Mansion

Chakor was frozen at the Mansion…

Mumma what happened to the baby… she could not answer….Raaghav told Arjun that the baby could not survive as it was too young and late for treatment when Arjun just returned back to his room shocked… they did not tell any other details.

The Principal called Raaghav and said that Gaurav had sought apology from the boys and he asked Arjun to resume classes and told that there was a programme in the next two days and requested Chakor to speak about girl welfare as she was the Govt. ambassador for various schemes. But she was too shocked and did not say anything….

She was just crying … He allowed her to cry… holding her on his chest.

How did you know that the mother was around. He asked.

The baby was just a day old and unless someone dropped there it would not have come out and it was placed within the rug so not thrown, so somebody wants to hide the baby no one can protect the baby as the mother does she said and the only one exception other than a mother is you Raaghav as you are our protector, savior and no one can protect us as you do… she cried holding his strong arms…

Why did it happen??? How can that monster go free…. He was irritated and whats the mistake of Maaya, the gender of the foetus is decided by God he said…. NO Raaghav, Chakor said….

Its decided by the Man, the father…

What? He was shocked

Yes…. All try to bury the truth for the convenience sake.Hide the facts… everybody try to ignore or forget the basic biology taught in the high school classes. About the Chromosomes the XX and XY, and the Y chromosome from the male sperm decides the gender of the foetus. The female carries only the X and nurture the given one in her womb for 9 months undergoing various changes to give birth to the male or a female child.

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.

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 hugged Raghav, who hugged her back just to get over the trauma….

************************************************

He spoke on the stage drawing everyone’s attention.

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, the girls to die….not allowing the girls to fly high.should we feel proud or ashamed??

Girls don’t bring pride??? then What did our Late Prime Minister. Smt Indira Gandhi, MaryKom, Kalpana Chawla, Dr. Shantha of the Cancer Institute, Mrs Thatcher, Mother Theresa do to the nation???

Bolo Bharath Ki Jai…. Nahi its Bharath Mata Ki Jai… oh he smirked but where does mata come if the girl is killed??

The guests were pondering ….

Bhaai….. I need to go to the village…………

You are to be blamed said Mohit to Renu….No….. for the firsttime she spoke.. Mr Mohit you you dam men are to be blamed…… Should I ripyou!!! For the first time…. The tables are being turned….. Get your basics right… read your portions straight…..

Your maa wants a boy Wah ! but what is She????
