![]() The Knife Part-2A Story by Swagatika Behera![]() In this part Angelina fights for her justice but the cop also trys his best to defeat her. Let's see who wins - money and power or truth ???![]() She was trembling with fear and couldn’t even utter a word after
noticing the tattoo of the knife. She tried to move but he grasped her tightly.
Suddenly she got a call from her mom and the moment she was going to answer the
call, he tried to snatch the phone from her but she tried all the way not to
let him take her phone. As the phone was being pulled from both the sides, at a
time many windows got opened and many keys got clicked at the same time and the
call got over. He started laughing at the peak of his voice feeling pity for
her. She tried to run but he held her hand tightly. Gathering all her anger
and keeping her fear aside for a while she punched him hard at his stomach and ran
as fast as she could. She ran towards the gate and he started following her to
again keep her under his grasp but couldn’t succeed. Suddenly she saw her mom and
hugged her tightly with tears rolling down her eyes. She was completely
terrified and couldn’t even speak clearly out of fear. Her mom kept asking her
continuously to know what had happened but couldn’t understand clearly what she
was actually trying to say. All that she figured out was that the super cop was
her rapist but she wasn’t ready to believe it. Then suddenly the cop came
running and told her mom, “Your daughter has gone mad. At the middle of the
story she was narrating, suddenly she stood up and started beating and kicking
me blaming me as the rapist. Sorry mam, but I can’t take up your case. I can’t
let her ruin my reputation like this. I would rather suggest you to take her to some good
psychiatrist and do her check-up. I think she is still under shock and needs to
be treated under a good psychiatrist. I really feel sorry for all that she had to went through but I am also helpless as it's the case of my reputation." Angelina tried
to make her mom believe her that she is not under any shock and the cop is
lying to her but her mom’s face reflected clearly that she was totally convinced by
whatever the cop said. So, she stood quietly as she knew that all her efforts
would now be in vain. On reaching home her mom narrated everything that
happened that day to her dad and he agreed with her to take her to a good
psychiatrist. She was taken to one of those psychiatrists and was given some
shocks too which left her in a condition that she couldn’t even speak clearly
and would often loose her consciousness. Still she didn’t lose hope and going
against the will of everyone she lodged a case of her rape against the cop. He
tried all the way to prove her a mentally disorder patient who doesn’t even know
whom she was blaming for her rape. He harassed her mentally every day and
threatened her to take back her case. But she didn’t step back. All that she
knew was that she had to fight for her own justice. She tried her best to
gather proof in support of her but couldn’t find any. At last it was the day
the court had to declare its verdict in support of anyone of them. She was
assured of her defeat and tears were rolling down her eyes. She realized that
in today’s world, power and money can prove a rapist to be an honorable person. She could feel the defeat of truth by the conspiracy done by the cop.
The court was about to declare its verdict and the cop had already started
celebrating its victory. Suddenly everyone in the court got shocked to hear a voice" “Yes I Mr. Satyajit Sinha declare that I am your rapist and
I am your culprit” a loud voice of laughter followed the words. “I will drag you to the court. I won’t let you move freely
like this after ruining my life.” “What!!! You will drag me to the court?” another voice of
laughter followed the words. “You can do no harm to me, you little b***h. I can
prove you a mentally disorder girl within no seconds and you can do nothing to
me. I challenge you- you poor girl. Perhaps you don't know what consequence that takes
place when money and power shake their hand.” The laughter grew louder and the
voice paused after some minutes. Everyone in the court was in shock for a moment and after a
few minutes the court got the recording which was played mistakenly by her
younger brother. It might be recorded by the time they were snatching the pone
in the cop’s house. Finally, the court declared its verdict in favor of
Angelina. Lately for sure but at least she got her justice. She fought
her battle of life all by herself with all her willpower and at last truth won
a victory over both power and money. She finally succeed to free herself from
the bondage. It’s a very rare case where the girl got her justice but
there are many cases occurring every ten seconds around the world where a girl
is being harassed, tortured, raped or being killed. Not everyone gets a chance
to even raise a voice against the injustice. Very few cases come to the view of
the public but what else the public does except rallies and candle march. The
case closes after some days and the same thing repeats again. The need of the time is to change ourselves and to change
our mentality. The day a girl can move freely anywhere in the world alone even
in the midnight without any risk of being harassed or facing eve teasing is the
day India will truly gain its independence and all those pure souls who are
even today begging for their justice will rest in peace… Let’s not just blame each other and let's try to change ourselves
for we don’t know if you (in case of girl) or your sister (in case of boy)
would be the prey tomorrow… -Swagatika Behera © 2018 Swagatika Behera |
