Rudhita: My Heart Beat

CHAPTER 12 A TRAGEDY

(Read author's note)

Next day morning Aniruddh was reading newspaper while Bondita was getting ready to go to court. Suddenly there was a knock on door.
Bondita went to open the door .
"Didi" a boy of 15 was standing at the door crying.
" Harman kya hua tum to kyu rahe ho ?" Bon asked while Aniruddh also came hearing the commotion.
"Aap toh Gurpreet kaka ke yahan kaam karte hein na mein jab khana lane gaya tha tab dekha ta maine aapko " Ani said.
"Haan barrister Babu ye wahi hein par Harman hua kya ye toh batao"
Harman still crying" Didi kal noor didi aapke ghar se nikalne ke baad dhabe pe aayi thi uske baad ghar ke liye nikal gayi par ghar pahunchi hin nahin."
"Ghar nahin pahunchi matlab wo kal raat se laapata hein ?" Bon was worried.
"Haan didi hum log picchle char ghante se dhund rahe hein didi ko " .
"Chalo mein bhi dhund ti hun tumhare saath " Bon said.
" Mein bhi chalta hun tumhare saath bondita" Aniruddh said.
"Haan chaliye" .

They then met everyone near Gurpreet's dhaba.
Gurpreet was crying .
"Kaka kaka noor mil jayegi aap  chinta mat kijiye hum sab milkar dhund lenge usse" Bondita consoled Gurpreet.
"Haan kaka noor mil jayegi" Aniruddh too assured him.
Random man: Barrister madam humne sab jagah dhund liya bas ye jungle(a/n - now he didn't use English word it's just the pronounciation of jungle in hindi and english are same ) nahin dhunda.
Bon: Thik hein toh jungle dhundte hein aur sab alag alag hokar dhundte hein noor jaldi mil jayegi.
Ani: Haan ye sahi rahega chalo dhundte hein.
Everyone started searching .
"Noor , noor didi, noor bitiya " Everyone was shouting her name.
It was a dense forest.
Bondita was walking and shouting her name. She was tired. It has been two hours since they were searching for her . Suddenly she felt something on her hand and when she saw it , it was blood. She slowly looked upwards . She screamed and fell down.
Everyone heard her scream and ran towards her.
" Bondita ... Bondita kya hua? " Aniruddh held her.
Bondita couldn't say anything. She just muttered " Noor... noor " and pointed upwards towards a tree.
Everyone looked there and got shocked.
Noor's body was covered with blood and it was hanging on a tree . It looked like she committed suicide. Gurpreet sat on his knees and started crying " Noor meri bacchi ""ye kya ho gaya".
After some time the village men brought her body to her house.
Noor's family was devastated , her mother was crying hard , she fainted. Noor's  sister was taking care of her . Gurpreet was shocked.
After some time
A random man: Gurpreet jo hua wo hua ab humein noor ka antim sanskar kardena chahiye.
Gurpreet stood up .
Gurpreet: Nahi aisa nahi hoga meri beti atmahatya nahin kar sakti ... nahi kar sakti wo aisa.
Man: Gurpreet hum sabne dekha hein usne apni jaan khud di hein.
Gurpreet: Mein nahin manta meri hasti khelti bacchi aise wo atma hatya nahin kar sakti .
Gurpreet came and held bondita's hands " Bondita bitiya kal toh noor tumhare ghar gayi thi kya tumhe laga ki usse kisi baat ki pareshani thi "
Bondita was sobbing but she realised this was not the time to be emotional.
" Haan mein bhi nahin maanti ki noor atma hatya kar sakti hein "
Man: Barrister madam ye kaise ho sakta hein.
???: Pata chal jayega.
Bon: Pulkit ?
Pulkit: Gurpreet kaka maine noor ke baare mein suna bohut dukh hua par hum sab noor ko jaante hein wo aisa nahi kar sakti isiliye mein daroga ji ko apne saath laya hun taki wo noor ko leke jaaye aur uska shav pariksha ho sake.
Ani: Ye tumne accha kiya pulkit.
??? : Noor toh chali gayi aap uska shanti se antim sanskar bhi nahi karne denge.
Gurpreet: Sarpanch ji...
Bon: Sarpanch ji ye aap kya keh rahe hein noor ki aatma ko shanti tab nahi milegi jab uska kaatil aise khula ghumega.
???: Sarpanch ji bilkul thik keh rahe hein ay chhori hamare ghar k beti ki izzat aur na ucchaal !
Bon: Aap kaun ?
Gurpreet: Ye meri behen hein noor ki bua .
Bon: Dekhiye bua ji hum sab ko pata hein ki noor atmahatya nahin kar sakti isiliye uske kaatil ko pakad na zaroori hein.
Bua: Toh kya kisi paray mard ko apni ghar ki chhori ko chhune denge kya hum ? Arey kitni badnami hogi hamari ye socha hein bhul mat Gurpreet teri ek aur beti hein jiska vyah tujhe karana hein.
Gurpreet: Jiji par....

Pulkit: Aur agar ladki ho toh ?
Bua: Kya matlab?
Pulkit: Matlab yeh ki Arya karegi.
Sarpanch: Ab ye Arya kaun bala hein ?
Pulkit: Arya medical examiner hein wahi karegi shav pariksha...
Sarpanch: Kya kaha ek ladki karegi shav pariksha pata nahin wo kaabil hein bhi ya nahin ?
Ani: Abhi aapko paray mard ke chhune se aapati thi ab ladki se bhi ...
Bon: Gurpreet kaka aap toh jaante hein na Arya ko aur uski kabiliyat ko
Gurpreet: Haan puttar mujhe pura vishwas hein Arya par daroga sahab aap le jaiye noor ko shav pariksha ke liye
Then the constable takes noor's body for post mortemand the villagers leave to their own houses.
Only pulkit, bondita and Aniruddh stand there.

Pulkit: Han aur phir sab saaf ho jaayega.
