THE REOPENING!!!!!

' I heard the peep of police jeep and I stood up. After a long while any police came to my shop. The police jeep again peeped and a lady inspector came out. I recognised her. She was the new city S.P of our city.

I greeted her nicely. I noticed she wore glasses and looked strict. But when she put off her glasses I saw her beautiful smile and eyes at me.

She started, "I am the new city S.P, Kalpana Singh"
"Yes, I read it in today's newspaper." I said.
"Well, I have opened the closed case of rape here. It has been closed for about 12 years, said she, people say you have seen everything. Can you describe it."

Suddenly, my eyes became wet. I lowered my neck. After a long silence, she said," Why are you behaving like that you have done it?"
Her voice was sweet. But after I said,
"I feel me as guilty of all that. Everything was happening right under my eyes. But I was not able to do anything." With saying this my throat suddenly seemed jammed.

I saw Kalpana. Her eyes under glass were too wet. But after gathering confidence she said,
"I know it is very difficult for you to explain. But please for the victim's right. Explain please!"
I too gathered confidence and started,
"Ok, I will. That was the afternoon time in holi. All the enjoy was ended. There were only some bike riders moving here and there. I was about to close my shop. I heard some noises. I came at the end of my shop. I saw five boys captured a girl. She was half naked from down. I tried to stop them. But a boy there stone at me. I got unconscious. When I woke up in the evening. I thought about the girl. I ran. I reached there. She was full naked. And blood split over her body. She was about 13 years old. I recognised her and took her in tablecloth to her home. All the raping boys were totally werewolves. Theyhad completely almost killed her. I kept shouting that I will not let the boys go. But no one listened me. That time the rape news hasn't even got a single corner in newspaper. I heard about girl's death. And knew her family had  been went to Ahemdabad but later shifted somewhere else. Maybe they were ashamed by opening the case. So,they left it closed. Even today I see same girl in my dream. Sometimes, happy and sometimes totally overblooded. I can never forgive myself for her death.........."


JUSTICE!!

Then I was silent. After a while, I called Hariya and told him to give tea to the police. Well, I was feeling light by telling her the truth.

Sometime later, I heard about the case. I was called to the judge. I told everything truth. Trnnnnnn...........
The lunch time. Today was final day. I was surprised that why Kalpana was taking so interest in the case.

While lunch was over, judgement started again. The opposition lawyer told,
"My Lord, we can't believe only one suspect. Maybe he alone done the rape."
The culprits were smiling and touching the moustaches.

Suddenly, a voice came,"I am another aspect."
Kalpana! She came near. Beside me.
"Not only aspect but also the victim. Yes,I am the girl who was raped 12 years old. Yes, my lord. I have reports. I recognise everyone. Firstly, he (third one) raped me. Then fourth one. Then second one. Then first one." Said she and I faced the small girl being raped.

The judge jury saw the reports. The report cleared that she had been raped by more than two people. Her private parts were damaged. Almost 30% of her blood was split out. Her reproductive organ was also needed to be taken out in such a small age.

After a long query, the judge punished the culprits.
The wife of one culprit, spotted on him.
The sister of another one said,"You were a brother,then how could you do this to some other girl?..........

TRUTH!!!

After it, Kalpana had to face the reporters.
One reporter asked,"How was your way from a tablecloth to police ones."
 
Kalpana said,"I will tell everything in detail. When I was raped, I was in hospital. Hanging between life and death. A lot  blood had been split out. But at last I was saved. My family was very ashamed. This was the only wrong deed of my family. They shifted from place to place. In Ahmedabad, my father saw a person from here and moved on. My study went private. I became interested in study and now I am city S.P here. My family's mistake was that it was ashamed. But not now."

I saw her parents in the crowd. Kalpana hugged them...
I was feeling happy as the old guilt has been changed into smile...........
