Nandini, when realized what the prosecutor had said, slowly turned her head towards her parents. Tears were rolling down her eyes.. showing her helplessness.

Venkatesh (standing from his seat): we never told u anything like that..so just dont bring it up.

P: just because u ddnt bring it up doesn't mean that its not the truth.

Your Honor..me Mrs. Murthy se kuch sawal kerna chahunga.

D: objection my lord. My lord ye case Nandini k upar lagaay huwe Harshad k khoon k ilzam ko leker tha. Ab achanak se Prosecutor sahab aise bina sar pair k ilzam meri muwakkil pe lagaayenge to ye to galat baat hai.

P: bina sar pair k hai ya nahi..yehi baat to me saabit kerna chahta hu your honor. Your honor 3 saal pehle Mr. Rishab Murthy ka khoon huwa tha. Ye baat..naahi kisi police waale ko pata hai aur naahi kisi police station me iska record hai. Me isi baat k teh tak jaana chahta hu your honor. Aur uske liye mujhe Mrs. Murthy se chand sawalaat kerne hai. Plz your honor..grant me the permission.

J: permission granted.

P: thank u your honor.

Saraswati Murthy reluctantly stands n goes towards the witness box. Once she is standing opposite Nandini..both look at each other with longingness in their eyes..tears freely rolling down.

P: Mrs. Murthy..kya Nandini aapki eklauti beti hai?

Sar(looking at Nandini): ji

P: kya Nandini aapki saggi aulaad hai?

Sar (looking at him in confusion): what?

P: mene pucha..kya Nandini aapki saggi beti hai ya aapne use godh...

Sar (interrupting him): Nandini meri saggi beti hai. Mene janam diya hai use.

P: ooh..ok. to phir ek baat bataayiye.. aapne.. apni saggi beti ko..ghar se baahar kyu nikaal diya?

Saraswati looks at him in shock.

P: jawab dijiye..pichle 3 saalo se..Nandini akele kyu jee rahi hai?

Sar: wo..wo

Nan: because i chose that. Mujhe ghar se nikaala nahi tha..me khud nikli thi.

P: Miss Nandini..acha hoga agar aap tab jawab de jab aapse sawal pucha jaay. Filhaal let me question your mom..hmm?

P: acha ye batatyiye..k Rishab aur Nandini k beech..kaisa rishta tha?

Sar (looking at Nandini all the while): jitna gehra ek maa aur santaan ka rishta hota hai..usse b gehra rishta tha unka. Aur kyu na hota..in dono ne apni apni jaan ek dusre ko jo dee hai.

P: matlab?

Sar: Rishab aur Nandini..judwa hai. Meri delivery k waqt kuch major complications hogaye the. Doctors ne kaha twins me se..ek hee bacha bach sakta hai. Aur wo bacha wahi hoga jo pehle deliver kiya jaayga. Scan me pata chala k pehle deliver hone waala twin.. ladki hai. Mene aur mere pati ne ye accept kerliya tha k hume sirf beti hee hogi..Nandini. Lekin jis din delivery ka time aaya..meri kok me..Nandini ne..apni jagah se hat k Rishab ko aage dhakka maara..aur waise..pehle Rishab paida hogaya. Doctors ne kaha ye kisi miracle se kam nahi..they were proud of Nandini. Nandini ne apni jaan apne bhai ko dedi. Phir Nandini b paida huwi..lekin..wo bohot critical thi. Doctors ne bola ..she wont b able to make it up. Me ek baar apni beti ko gale lagaana chahti thi..isliye doctors ne Nandini aur Rishab..dono ko mere hawaale kiya. Lekin jaise hee Rishab Nandini k kareeb aaya.. Nandini k dil ki dhadkane badhne lagi. Uski haalat me sudhaar aane laga. And she made it. Aaj b doctors ne inke picture ko apne hospital me lagaaya huwa hai..aur caption diya..the miracle kids. Uske baad se..ye dono hee ek dusre ki dunya ban gaye. Nandini ka right hand Rishab ko dhakka marte waqt kamzor hogaya tha..isliye Rishab uska right hand bana. Aur jab mene unhe kuch saal baad ye kahani sunaai..to wo dono rone lage. Rishab ne Nandini se kaha..k usne Rishab ki jaan waise hee bachaai jaise koi hero bachaata hai. Isliye usne Nandini ka naam..Heroine rakh diya. Aur badle me Nandini ne..use Hero bulaana shuru kiya. Aise bane..mere Guddu aur Pari..Hero aur Heroine.

A sob leaves Nandini's shivering lips. She couldnt control anymore. Re-living your favorite past is definitely most cherishing..but re-living it without that someone who actually had made it beautiful..is no less than a punishment..a heart wrenching punishment.

Sar (crying n looking at Nandini): ek bacha jitna apni maa se pyaar kerta hai..usse kahi zyada pyaar wo ek dusre se kerte the. Jab ye dono saath hote..to inhe kisi ki zarurat nahi padhti. Aisi koi baat nahi thi jo wo ek dusre se share nahi kerte. Kabhi b..bhai behen ki tarah jagdha b nahi kiya. Rishab shant aur suljha huwa..aur Nandini chanchal..bholi..aur masoom thi. Phir inke zindagi me aaya..Abhi. Abhi..jisne in dono ko ek bade bhai ka pyaar diya..protect kiya..guide kiya. Lekin uske liye Nandini zyada khaas thi..hum sab jaante the wo Nandini se zyada pyar kerta hai..aur ye baat..Rishab ko b pasand aayi. Wo yehi kehta tha..meri Heroine hai hee pyaar kerne laayak..to kyu na Abhi bhai usse zyada pyaar kare.(chuckling sadly)

One more sob leaves from Nandini. She squeezed shut her eyes to control herself. But with every word her mother said, she was being pulled back to her beautiful past. The past where she ddnt want to go..the past she never wanted to visit without her Hero.

Sniffs could b heard in the courtroom. Fab5, Mr. and Mrs. Malhotra, Mr. Murthy, Abhi n Navya..all were shedding tears on listening to the eternal and love filled bond between the twins. They couldnt even imagine what pain Nandini must have gone through, or what she must b still going through on feeling the void in her life, void which was created after Hero's death. Abhi was shaking with his cries..Navya was patting his back while her own tears were betraying her. Manik..he was all the time looking at Nandini n crying. Crying at her helplessness. Crying at the pain she suffered. Crying for not able to protect her from that pain.

P: agar Rishab aur Nandini ka rishta itna pyaar bhara..aur itna khubsurat tha..to phir Nandini ne Rishab ka khoon kyu kiya?

This one question brought a stop to the crying eyes in the room. Nandini opened her eyes and looked at him n then at her mother.

P: jawab dijiye..kyu kiya usne Rishab ka khoon?

Sar: aa..aap..aisa ..kis bina pe keh rahe hai?

P: ek minute. (Goes to his table n removes a small envelope) me ye sab..iske bina pe keh raha hu. (Showing her the picture where Nandini was shown holding knife in her hand in front of wounded Rishab)

Saraswati gasps in shock n tears roll down her eyes uncontrollably.

P: aapke behte huwe aasu is baat ka daleel de rahi hai k ye picture sach bayaan ker rahi hai. Aapne apni aankho se Nandini ko Rishab ka khoon kerte huwe dekha hai. Isi waje se aap aur aapke pati Nandini se ruth gaye aur aapne usse apne tamaam rishte tod diye. Aur isliye Nandini aaj yaha akeli jee rahi hai.

Nan (shouting): nahi maara mene use. I ddnt kill my Hero. (Looking at her mom..as if trying to convince her) I..I ddnt kill him. Me..me apni jaan de sakti hu Hero k liye..lekin Hero ki jaan..uski jaan kaise le sakti hu. I ddnt kill him. Mene nahi maara use. (Crying while looking at her mom n then dad) i ddnt kill him. Plz trust me. Nahi maara mene mere Hero ko. Zindagi tha wo meri. Aaj b..sabse zyada use chahti hu..sabse zyada usse mohabbat kerti hu. Mene nahi maara use. Nahi maara.

Saying so..she fell down in the witness box..crying incoherently..repeatedly saying " I ddnt kill him..i ddnt kill him". Seeing her so broken, Manik stands from his place n leaves the courtroom.

Mr. Murthy stands n goes to his daughter.. ignoring the police who were trying to stop him. He goes n holds Nandini by her shoulders n makes her stand. She looks at her father..who was shaking his head in a no while wiping her tears.

Ven (with tears rolling down): we trust u..we do now. Sorry Princess...m so sorry

Nandini hugs him tight n wails out loud.

Nan (crying): Popsy...I ddnt kill my Hero.

Ven: shshshhh...sshhh Princess. M here now.

Saraswati too comes out of the witness box n goes n hugs her daughter n husband..crying.

Sar: Parii...

Nan(crying): Momzy..Momzy mene nahi maara mere Hero ko. I *hiccup* I ddnt.

Police officer comes there n asks them to get back to their places. Reluctantly..Mr. and Mrs. Murthy leave Nandini in the witness box n go to take their seats.

P: yaha to full family re union hogaya judge saab. Khair..in sab drama me..main mudda to reh hee gaya. K aakhir Nandini ne Rishab ko kyu maara?

Nan: mene kaha na mene use nahi maara. Kyu maarungi me apne hee bhai ko? Jisse me sabse zyada pyar kerti hu..jo mujhse sabse zyada pyar kerta tha..kyu jaan lungi me uski?

P(shouting): wahi to me aapse puch raha hu. Kyu maara aapne apne sagge bhai ko? Apne judwa bhai ko? Us bhai ko jo aap pe jaan nichawar kerta tha?

Nan (shouting): mene nahi maara mere Hero ko.

P: agar aapne uska khoon nahi kiya..to phir kisne kiya?

Nan: Harshad ne.

P (shocked): what?

Nan(shouting and crying): Haan Harshad ne. Usne mere aankho k saamne..mere Hero k pait me churi gusaa k maar dala. He killed him!

A shocking silence was what covered the atmosphere inside the courtroom. But soon the silence was broken by sound of clapping. Prosecutor was clapping his hands whereas Nandini n others were looking at him in confusion.

P: wow..nice.. very nice. Nai matlab..bohot acha try kiya aapne. (Getting serious) Just because Harshad ka ek jurm saamne aaya hai..u cant blame him for the crime that u have done. Aapne yehi socha hoga..k bhai..ab to Harshad pe saara ilzaam daal dete hai..wo zinda to hai nahi virodh kerne k liye..aur to aur abhi abhi adaalat me uska jurm saabit kiya hai. To everyone will easily trust u..ryt? Sorry Ms. Nandini..but that wont b accepted.

Nan: me ilzam nai laga rahi..sach bataa rahi hu.

P: sach? So ye sach hai? Theek hai..maan lete hai aapki baat. But apni is baat ko saabit kerne k liye..aapke paas koi saboot hai?

"Saboot mere paas hai"

Everyone turn towards the source of voice and Nandini was confused to see Manik standing there.

Nan (whispered): Manik..

Man: your honor.. Nandini ne apne bhai..apne Hero ko nahi maara. Is baat ka saboot hai mere paas.

Manik moves a little to his left to reveal a person standing behind him. Where everyone were confused to see a new face, Nandini was shocked on seeing him standing there. As the witness started taking steps towards the witness box..Nandini's shock started getting changed into anger and fury. Once the witness comes n stands opposite Nandini in the witness box, he looks at Nandini with guilt in his eyes and lowers them down on not able to maintain the eye contact.

P: ab aap mahaashay koun hai? Aur is case se aapka kya connection hai?

Wit: connection hai..bohot gehra connection hai. Me...me Rishab Murthy k khoon ka.. chashmadeed gawah hoon. Itna hee nahi.. mere paas apni baat saabit kerne k liye ek thos saboot b hai.

P: pehle aap apna parichay dijiye.

Wit: mera naam..Aryaman Khurana hai. Me..Nandini ka dost..

Nan (interuppting while gritting her teeth): ek dhokhebaaz dost. Ek wishwasghati. Jo apne dosti k aad me chupke apne najaayez demands poori kerta hai. Jo apni dosti k peet peeche usi dosti ka berehem tareeke se gala ghot ta hai. Don't u think this definition suits u more? Aur zara detailing me bataao Aryaman. Humare ye Prosecutor sahab detailings ko bohot pasand kerte hai. Tabhi to ek ladki se uspe attempt to rape k b saare detailings maang rahe the. (Looking at Prosecutor) Right wakeel saab?

Ar (looking at Nandini with guilt): U r ryt. Judge saab..me Nandini k saath uske school me padhta tha. Me usse 2 saal bada hu. Academics me poor performance ki waje se me 2 saal fail hogaya. Phir..Nandini mere class me aayi. Ek ajeeb positive aura tha uske ird gird. Saare ladke uske deewane the..khubsurat hone k saath she was innocent..aur wo innocence bohot se ladko ko attract kerti thi. Me b unme se ek tha. Lekin jald hee mujhe samaj aagaya k Nandini yaha ye sab kerne nahi aayi hai. Wo apni class ki topper hai..plus..uski zindagi sirf 2 logo k ird gird thi.. ek..uska Bhai..jo dusre stream me padhta tha..aur ek..uski friend Anjika. Ek baar exam me meri seat Nandini k paas thi. Mujhe exam me kuch nahi aaraha tha..tab..Nandini ne meri help ki. N for the first time..i cleared my test. Tab mene thaan li..me uska dost banunga. I dd everything to come in her good books..sahi galat sab kuch. And i even succeeded. Ek din me Nandini k saath uske ghar gaya..n i was shocked. She was so filthy rich. Nandini ko dekh k koi b samaj sakta tha k wo ameer hai..lekin itni ameer..that was impossible to guess. She was always down to earth. Baaki ameer logo ki tarah usme wo attitude nahi tha. Humare board exams aaye..aur mene Nandini se openly kaha k wo mujhe cheating chits banaa k de. Me ek aur saal fail nahi hosakta. I thought me Nandini ka acha frnd ban gaya hu to wo meri help karegi. But she ddnt. She outrightedly refused. Usne kaha class tests theek hai..unme cheating keraake she helped me. But not in boards. I still remember her words..k Aryaman..is exam k baad hum apne professional lives me jaayenge. Waha humpe responsibilities hogi..aur responsibilities ko cheating k saath nahi nibhaaya jaata.
Mujhe gussa aaya..coz mere exams bohot bure huwe the. I knew it that i wont b able to clear them this year too. Aur mera saara gussa Nandini pe tha. Tab..tab Harshad mere paas aaya. He was our professor, lekin mene aksar use Nandini ko dekhte huwe pakda tha. I knew he had bad eyes for her. Lekin instead of warning Nandini like a friend should have done..i kept quiet. Us din..Harshad ne mere saamne ek deal rakhi. He told me..agar me use Nandini k ghar tak lejaaunga..to wo mujhe mere board exams me pass karaa sakta hai. N phir mene apni zindagi ki pehli badi galti ki. I..I took him to Nandini's villa. Nandini ka ghar electronically secured tha. Sirf main gate pe ek guard tha jo sirf jaan pehchaan waalo ko andar jaane deta tha. Usne mujhe dekha aur wo pehchaan gaya. He allowed me n Harshad in.

P: phir? Phir kya huwa?

Ar (taking a deep breath): aap is baat se waakif hogaye honge k Harshad ki ek aadat thi..uski ... harkato ko..record kerne ki. Us din bhi..Harshad ne..camcorder lagaaya tha. Lekin isse pehle wo ye camcorder leke nikalta..mene ise chura liya. Aur phir isi k zariye me..Harshad ko blackmail kerne laga. Kabhi exams me mujhe pass karaane k liye aur kabhi..paiso k liye. Is camcorder me (handing him one) sirf us din ki recording nahi hai judge saab..balke usse pehle b..jab jab Harshad ne apne birthday k din...wo..wo sab b hai.

Nandini gets shocked on seeing the camcorder. She starts sweating. She turns her head towards Abhi n looks at him hopefully. She slowly shakes her head in a no. But before Abhi could comprehend anything, the video started.

V.I.D.E.O

A beautiful living room in a beautiful mansion is shown. The video angle shows staircase and the living room. Suddenly Harshad comes in front of the camera..he smiles a creepy smile.

Har: i know i know..aaj mera asli birthday nahi hai..lekin kya karu..Nandini meri favourite gift hai..aur  aaj ja ke mujhe mera gift mila. I cant wait till my birthdays to come. Isliye.. exception..but ONLY FOR NANDINI..MY NANDINI.

Nandini was coming fown the stairs..wearing a sleeveless top reaching her mid thigh and shorts reaching till little above her knee with her hair freely flowing down till her waist. She comes down n turned towards her left when she abruptly stopped on her track. She turned around with shock written on her face.

Nan: s..sir? A..aap? Aap ya..yaha kaise?

Har: Nandini..my favorite Nandini. Mujhe tumhare dost ne yaha laaya hai.

Nan: dost?

Har: hmmm..look..here he is.

Nan (shocked): Arya?

Ar: sorry Nandini..but u ddnt leave me a choice.

Har: ok Aryaman..now u can leave. I dont like disturbances..or any spectators.

Aryaman nods his head n leaves.

Nan (scared but trying to b neutral): Si..sir.. aa..aap yaha kya ker rahe hai?

Har: wo actually..u knw mujhe mere birthdays bohot pasand hai. I get to choose my gift na..thats why. My birthday is on 26th March..lekin dekho na..is saal i m late. I couldnt celebrate my birthday.

Nandini looks at him confused.

Har: puchogi nai kyu?

Nan: k..kyu?

Har: kyunki jo gift mujhe chahiye tha wo mila nahi. Aaj jaake mila hai.

Nan: o..ok. S..sir..wo..wo mujhe baahar jaana hai..so..

Har: haan theek hai..me apna gift leke chale jaata hu.

Nan: aapka gift?

Har: arre bataaya to..mera birthday gift. Yehi to hai .

Nan (scared n sweating): ya..yaha?

Har(looking at her intently): haan. Yaha.

Nan (taking small steps back): ky..kya gift?

Har: Tum! Tum ho mera gift. Jabse yaha aaya hu..tabse tumpe nazar hai meri. Ek alag si beauty hai tumhari. Models ki tarah hot b aur kids ki tarah innocent bhi. N thats a rare combination. So how i can let go such a rare beauty. I need to gift u to myself.

Nandini was shocked to hear this. But she reacts soon. She turned around to run away when Harshad came behind her n held her from her waist.

Nan(yelling n frantically wriggling in his hold): Nai..leave me..plz chodo me.

Har: aise kaise chod du Nandini. Tumhare liye to mene apna birthday celebration b postpone kiya. Now dnt b a spoilsport. Trust me.. particiapte with me n u will enjoy urself.

Nan: Naiii..chodo mujhe plx.. Heroooo... BB....help me please. Chodoooo.

Harshad carried her n took her towards the sofa n threw her there. He went to hold her legs when Nandini kicked him strong enough to make him stumble a bit. She took this opportunity n ran towards the stairs. She had reached mid stairs when Harshad caught her leg n dragged her down. Nandini was all the time yelling n crying. Trying her best to free herself.

Nan(crying n shouting): chodo mujhe plz.

Har: dont waste my time Nandini. I need to celebrate my birthday.

He held both her hands n was lying on her..trying to kiss her. But Nandini was continuously moving frantically..calling out for her Hero and her BB.

Once when feels Harshad's one hold a bit loose..she withdraws her hand n taking a pillow from nearby she hits him hard on his face..making him fall on her side. She again gets up n tries to run away when Harshad comes from behind n holds her from her waist with one hand and the other hand covering get mouth to prevent her from shouting. He takes her behind one couch..which was within the recording angle.

Har (whispering in her ear): sshhh...keep quiet. Someone is at the door.

Nandini looks at the door only to find her Hero standing there.. she tries to make muffled sounds to draw his attention.

Ris: heroine? Heroine where r u?
Lagta hai kamre me hai.

He starts moving from beside the couch n Nandini tries hardwr to make sounds..but then she abruptly stops when she feels Harshad piercing a knife on her right shoulder..craving a scar on her.

Har (in her ear): if u make any sound..i will kill u. N u knw i can do it.

Nandini cries silently. Rishab reaches till mid stairs when he stops n turns around.

Ri (confused): Heroine? Is that u?

He looks around to find his heroine. On not finding her he again ascends the stairs. After 3 stairs he again stops..looks back n calls out loud.

Ris: Heroine? Heroine kaha hai tu?
Aisa kyu laga as if Heroine called me from behind? Y do i feel wo yahi hai?
I guess wo kamre me hai. Let me check there.

Here Nandini was shedding silent tears. She saw Rishab going up towards her room. She saw that Harshad's concentration was now on Rishab n thats why his hold got loose. She pushed him hard making him fall on the floor n screams at her top voice..

Nan: Herooo...

Rishab turns back in a jiffy on hearing her Heroine's voice. He was ahocked to see a man standing there behind her. It wasnt hard for him to guess what was happening here.

Nandini was running towards him. On seeing his Heroine crying like this..he lost his control. All he saw was red. He rushed down towards her Heroine. But before he could reach her Harshad again vame n held her from her waist..as if protecting what is his.

Ris (furious): aee.... how dare u touch my sister?

He punches Harshad n frees Nandini. Who immediately hid behind Rishab..crying.

Ris: teri himmat kaisi huwi..meri behen pe aankh uthaake dekhne ki.

He kiched him in his stomach. He was continuously hitting him without any break. When he saw he wasnt able to get up..he left him there n went to his Heroine n took her in his embrace. But soon he broke the hug when he heard her hiss in pain.

Ris: He..Heroine.. tu..tu theek hai na? Kya huwa?bata mujhe? Kaha lagi hai?

Nan (clutching his shirt from front n crying): Hero..heroo..

Ris: shsshh..shshsshh.. tera hero aagaya hai na. Ab kuch nahi hoga. Ek kaam kar..leave the place. Go out now.

Nan (tightening her hold on him): Nai nai nai..me..me tumhare saath rahungi. Kahi..kahi nahi jaaungi tumhare bina.

Ris: heroine..baat samaj. Wo strong hai. We need help. Acha ek kaam kar..main gate se guard ko bulaa k la. Me tab tak isko handle kerta hu.

Nan: nai nai naii.. me nahi jaaungi. Plz dont leave me. Plz.

Ris (cupping her face n looking in her eyes): listen to me. HERO WILL NEVER LEAVE HER HEROINE ALONE. NEVER EVER. Me humesha tere saath rahunga. Humesha. Now go..go n make a call on the main gate no. n call the guard inside.

Nandini nods her head in a yes n yurns aroumd to walk till the other end of the living room to make a call. She stops in mid way when Harshad calls out her name.

Har: Nandinii

Nandini turms around. Harshad was standing to the left and behind Rishab. Rishab had his eyes on Nandini. When Harshad called out Nandini, Rishab too turned around only to take a sharp breath. Harshad had stabbed him in his stomach.
Nandini stood there frozen. She was looking at the bleeding wound..unable to move from her place. Rishab was wincing in pain. He held his stomach with both hands n was breathing harshly.

Ris (wincing): Her..heroine..

Nandini started walking towards him in a haze. She was still too shocked to react. She stood in front of Rishab n watched him writhing in pain. Tears started rolling down her eyes but she was still unaware of that.

Ris: da..dard..dard horaha hai.. Heroine.

With shivering hands..Nandini approached the stabbed knife n holding it in her shivering hands..she took it out from Rishab.

              *******
The video ended abruptly. But that wasnt what made people gasp..it was a loud shilling sound of a slap that echoed in the room. It was Nandini who slapped Aryaman. She had left the witness  box n was now standing in thr middle of the courtroom infront of Aryaman. She was in so much of fury..with tears continuously rolling doen her eyes..all she saw was red. She again slapped Aryaman n then started hitting him with her left hand while crying out. Abhi n Manik rushed to hold her back.

Ab: Barbie chod use..leave him jaan..

Man: Nandini plz..leave him. He is here now. He will get punished.

Nan (wriggling in Abhi n Manik's hold, yelling while crying): i will kill u Aryaman. I will kill u. Why did u do this? Y did u do this?

Ar(guiltily): m sorry Nandini. I got greedy n i..i just took the camcorder n flew away. Mujhe samaj nahi aaya me kya karu.

Nan (yelling furiously n crying): you could have helped me dam it. U could have helped me in filing the case. Paagalo ki tarah poilice station k chakkar kaat rahi thi me..k koi meri complaint likh de..koi kuch action le..lekin no..no one helped me. No one. Sabne kaha minor ho..jaao jaake pehle kisi guardian ko le aao..ya  koi saboot le aao. U could have given this proof to me Aryaman. But no..u chose it for urself. U chose to b selfish. Just for few marks..u let my brother's culprit free. How could u Aryaman? Tum itne selfish kaise hosakte ho?

Ar: m sorry..i really am.

Nandini comes out of Abhi n Manik's hold and holds Aryaman's collars with both her hands..ignoring the sling around her right hand..

Nan: sorry? Kya karu me tumhare sorry ka? Kya kar sakti hai tumhari sorry? Mujhe mera Hero lauta sakti hai? Wo dard..wo takleef jisme me apni zindagi kaat rahi hu wo mitaa sakti hai? Mere maa baap ka khoya huwa beta lauta sakti hai? Mujhpe se unka wishwas jo dagmagaa gaya tha wo lauta sakti hai? Jo raate me jaag kar guzari kyunki mujhe akele sone me dar lagta tha wo mita sakti hai? Meri zindagi k khalipan ko mitaa sakti hai? (Jerking him back) kuch nahi ker sakti tumhari sorry. Kuch b nahi. Sab kuch chin gaya mujhse
Meri zindagi..mera Hero... (crying incoherently) tum wahi the..wahi the jab Harshad ne mere Hero ko maara. Lekin phirb tumne koi madad nahi ki. (Getting furious) jitni takleef mujhe us Harshad ne di usse 1000 gunah zyada takleef aaj mujhe tumhara ye chehra de raha hai. (Wiping her hand with back of her hand) Mene kabhi kisi ko baddua nahi di Aryaman..lekin aaj..aaj me tumhe dil se baddua deti hu. Tadpoge tum Aryaman..zindagi bhar tadpoge..kisi k saath k liye..kisi k pyaar k liye. Jaise me akeli rehi hu..waise hee tum b akele rahoge. Jaise mene apni aankho k saamne apni zindagi ko marte dekha..waise hee tum bhi apno ko apni aankho k saamne tumse door jaate huwe dekhoge. Tumhe kabhi kisi ka saath nahi milega Aryaman..tum zindagi bhar tanha reh jaaoge. Marna chahoge lekin maut b tumhara saath nahi degi. Aaj jaise tumne mujhe khoon k aasoo rulaaye hai na..waise hee tumhare bure karam tumhe rulaaygi. Me tumhe kabhi maaf nahi karungi Aryaman..i will never forgive u. (Holdimg his collar again n hitting him)

J: Miss Nandini..hum aapki haalat samaj sakte hai..plz control yourself.

Nandini looks at the judge with tears in her eyes. Leaving Aryaman..she moves to stand in front of the judge.

Nan: control? Ab bhi aap mujhe bol rahe hai control kerne ko? Y? Because m a girl? Har baar..har baar sirf ladkiyo se kaha jaata hai to control..Y? Kyu koi ladko se nahi kehta to stay in control? Ladki agar shorts ya skirt pehen k nikle to she attracts unwanted attention. Lekin usi waqt agar ladka ek underwear me bhi nikle to use wah wahaai milti hai...kyu? Ladki jab ghar se nikle to uske parents use kehte hai..beta andhera hone se pehle ghar aajana..lekin ladke..unki to party aadhi raat k baad hee shuru hoti hai..kyu? Ladki ko agar raat ko baahar jaana ho to use apne bhai apne dost apne boyfriend apne papa..kisi mard k saath baahar nikalna zaruri hai lekin ladko ko azaad ghoomne me koi rukaawat nahi..kyu? Kyu ye samaj sirf ladkiyo k liye dangerous hai aur ladko k liye nahi? Kyu ladkiyo k handbags me unke make up stuff se zyada self defence k liye pocket knife ya pepperspray zyada hote hai..aur ladko k pockets me condoms? Kyu aaj humare desh me self defence itna mash-hoor hogaya hai? Kyu ladkiyo ko aisi classes join kerni padh rahi hai? Kya itni b safe nahi rahi humari society? (Crying continuously)
Kya kasoor tha mera? Kya kasoor tha mere bhai ka? Yehi..k wo apni behen ki izzat bachaana chahta tha? Kya kasoor tha..Anjika ka? Pyaar kerti thi..mere bhai se. Wo b kerta tha usse. Sab kuch perfect tha..sab kuch. I was the happiest soul. Hero..humare exams k baad..use propose kerne waala tha. Lekin..sab barbaad hogaya. Anjika... she..she committed suicide. My..my Hero broke down. He too..died.
Nai (moving her finger in air in no gesture)nai..he..he ddnt die. He was killed. Maar daala use..isi samaj me rehne waale ek rapist ne..maar daala mere hero ko. Aur sirf usne kyu.. use maara aapki is police ne..jisne mera case register se saaf inkaar kar diya. Use maara is samaaj ne..jo aaj b ladkiyo ko hee galat samaj te hai. Use maara aapke is khokle system ne..jisme rape ki saza sirf 7 saal hai. Sirf 7 saal judge saab? Kya ye 7 saal kaafi hai ek ladki ko us dard se nikaalne k liye jo zindagi bhar k liye usse jhud gaya ho? Kya ye 7 saal kaafi hai mere maa baap ko apne jawan bete ki maut ko bhalaane ko? Kya ye 7 saal kaafi hai Navya ko uske insecurities se nikaalne k liye? Abhi abhi aapke is system ne..rape ki punishment..under certain circumstances..20 saal tak ki imprisonment kerdi hai. Under certain circumstances? Kyu..baaki k circumstsnces kya jaayez hai? Kya wo circumstance jaayez hai jab ek 4 saal ki ladki apne hee ghar k aangan se khelte huwe gayab hojaati hai..aur jab milti hai to uski izzat lut chuki hoti hai? Kya ye circumstance jaayez hai jab ek 50 saal ki aurat k ghar me ghus ke..uske hee building ka watchman uska molestation kerne jaata hai? Nahi Judge saab..nahi hai ye jaayez. Phir kyu aapki system sirf under certain circumstances hee 20 saal ki saza sunaati hai? Kyu aapke politicians rape ko kabhi sahi aur kabhi galat kehte hai? (Raising her volume) Rape kabhi sahi nahi hota..kabhi nahi. Phir chahe wo 4 saal ki ladki ka ho ya 50 saal ki aurat ka..hosh me kiya gaya ho ya behoshi me..din me kiya gaya ho ya raat me..ek baar kiya gaya ho ya baar baar..zinda chod diya gaya ho ya maar diya ho..rape kisi b haalat me..kisi b circumstance me SAHI NAHI HAI. Rape kerne me sirf ek aadmi galat nahi hota. Uske wo maa baap b galat hote hai jo apne bete ko uski aankhe uske hasth uski zabaan ko control me rakhna nahi sikhaate. Jo use ladki ki izzat kerna nahi sikhaate..jo ye nahi sikhaate k beta kisi ladki pe apni gandi nigah nahi uthaana..kisi ladki ko zabardasti nahi pakadna. Un maa baap k saath uske wo dost b galat hote hai jo apne dost ko galat raah pe chalte huwe dekhne k bawajood use rokne k bajaay use badaawa dete hai. Aapki pokice b galat hai jo sahi time rehte huwe complain file nahi kerti. Aur aap bhi galat hai judge saab..aap b..jo is insaf ki kursi pe bethe huwe hai aur phir b..rape ki saza sirf 7 saal ki sunaate hai. Aap sab zimmedaar hai..aap sab. (Crying incoherently).

Nandini turns around n looks at ACP..who was shedding tears seeing so much of pain hidden in Nandini.
Nandini approaches him n says..

Nan: aap jaan na chahte the na..k koun thi wo 17 saal ki ladki jo apne gunehgaar ko saza nahi dilaa paai? To dekhiye..aapke saamne khadi hai. Me hee wo 17 saal ki bebas aur badkismat ladki hu..jise ye keh ker police station se nikaala gaya k wo ek minor hai..uski complaint nahi likhi jaaygi. (Chuckling sarcastically) me hee hu wo.
Kyu aapki police me aap jaise imaandaar officers kam..aur Tawde jaise baimaan officers zyada hai? Kyu nahi mile aap mujhe us waqt..jab me apna case likhaane ek police station se dusre police station k chakkar kaat rahi thi?

Turning around to face the judge.. whose eyes were glassy with unshed tears..Nandini folds her hands in front of him n cryingly says..

Nan: ab aur dard bardaash nahi hota judge saab. Plz..mujhe phasi dedijiye. Nahi jeena chahti me ek aise samaj me..jaha ek 19 saal ki ladki..jise azaadi se jeene ka haq hona chahiye..use aise..apne aap ko aur apni dost ko rape hone k khatre se bachaana padhe. Nahi jeena chahti me aise samaj me..jaha aaj b ladko ko saro ka taaj aur ladkiyo ko boj samjha jaata hai. Me..me apne Hero k paas jaana chahti hu. Plz..mujhe phasi dedijiye. Phasi dedijiye.

Saying so..she falls on her knees in the middle of the courtroom..crying n crying. This time..it wasn't only Nandini or the girls present there crying..it was even the men standing in the courtroom who were shedding tears too. Manik n Abhi were crying out loud..with no shame or no "man doesnt cry" crap in their minds. Suddenly..a hand holding a glass of water was forwarded to Nandini. Nandini looks at the hand n then at its owner..n she was surprised to find the prosecutor standing there with his head bowed down..his face tear stained. He slowly raises his eyes to meet Nandini's..n says in a hoarse voice..

P: m sorry.

A sob leaves Nandini's quivering lips. She breaksdown n cries again. The prosecutor lawyer bends down on his knees n gently pats her back to calm her down..repeatedly saying sorry.

J: tamam sabooto aur gawaho ko madde nazar rakhte huwe..ye adalat is faisle pe pohchi hai k Harshad Mehra dimagi taur pe ek mareez tha..jisne najaane kitni ladkiyo ka balatkaar kiya. Aur usne Navya ka bhi balatkaar kerne ki koshish ki. Itna hee nahi..usne Nandini ko b molest kerne ki koshish ki..aur Nandini k bhai.. Rishab ko maar diya. Lihaaza ye adaalat..Nandini ko Harshad k khoon k ilzam se ba izzat bali kerti hai. Aur sabooto ko chupaane k jurm me..ye adalat dafa 202 ki tahet..Aryaman Khurana ko 5 saal ba mushakkat jail ki saza sunaati hai.
Ye adalat Nandini se humdardi dikhaate huwe..use police ki laparwaahi k liye shamaa mangti hai.. aur ye hukum jaari kerti hai k eve teasing se le kar balatkaar tak..aisi koi b complaint aaye to police fauran sakhti k saath complaint file kare sur 12 ghanto k andar andar..case ki file adalat me submit kare.
Ye adalat..sarkaar k saamne balatkaar ki saza ko lekar..ek plea submit karegi..jiske anusaar..rapist ki saza ko sirf qaid se badhaane ki darkhwast ki jaayegi..aur is movement ka naam..adalat Rishab Murthy aur Nandini Murthy k naam pe adhaarit..RISHANDINI rakhne ka hukum jaari kerti hai.

CASE DISMISSED..
