Zoom in:
Anushka’s story (In her voice):
I was still reluctant about the
whole idea of eloping. I tried convincing him but he said that his contract
with the builder was getting over that day.
“Can we go tomorrow?” I asked.
“Today I am going to north for
another builder. All of us are going and we will be replaced by new workers.”
He said.
“But...”
“Come on Anushka. We have been
seeing eachother for the past 6 months. You still dont beleive me?” Ashruth
asked.
“I believe you. I have waited for
so long for this moment. I know you will save me from all my miseries.” I
thought for a while and said “Mom and dad will leave home at 10 am. Let us go
there at 10 take all the jewellery and cash from the locker. I know where the
key is. We can then go to your new work place and lead a happy life.” I said
and smiled at him.
“I have spoken to my friend. We
can stay there in his place. It will be like a palace. You will love the
place.” He said.
“I will stay at home. You go to
work. I will cook food and bring lunch to your site. We will sit there and feed
each other. Then in the evening I will wait for you at home. We will drink
coffee together. Then again i will wait for you till dinner. Life will be full
of you and love.” My dreams made my lips smile.
Crime 1: I bunked the exam
Crime 2: opened the locker
Crime 3: I was with Ashruth.
We both peeped
at the door. It was dad. He immediately took a kerchief, covered his face and
held my hand. He ran out of the house pulling me with him. I did not know how
to react. I was scared to stay back home. One thing I was sure of, not staying
back. We ran and dad followed. At one point he took me to a safe place. After
few hours we boarded a bus. I was happy that I was going to lead a happy life
with Ashruth. Then we went to the central from there to Culcutta and then to
this city.
Zoom Out:
“Nice story. So you are here
because of your love. Good.” Nisha smiled.
“Now tell us yours. Finish it
off.” Anushka asked Nisha.
Nisha continued with her story.
Zoom In:
Nisha’s Story in her voice:
Tina, John,
Mish, Sam, Navneeth, Tim and I became good friends. I went to the pubs with
them telling mom and dad that I was going to study with Mish and Tina. This
happened a lot of times. Whenever I was drunk I stayed back with Tina and Mish.
They were living alone in Tina’s guest house. Dad did not like this. He told me
several times not to go out. I did not listen. Fun with these guys were more
important. These guys were not as bad as dad thought they were. Nothing wrong
happened between us, we were just a bunch of friends who roamed together.
The exams were
nearing. We guys planned to stay with Mish and Tina in their guest house. I
asked dad and dad never let me. I argued with him and finally went to Tina’s.
The moment I went to their place I changed my dress according to our meet up
dress codes, the kind of clothes my dad will kill me even for the dream of
wearing. Few minutes of combined studies went on, then we planned for a drive.
Tim drove the car and I sat next to him. The other two gals sat on a guy each.
The car fled to a pub. We all got drunk danced and found it hard to find our
way back home. It dawned before we reached home. We did this almost on every
night out. Days passed and the exams got over.
“We need to celebrate the
successful completion of exams with beer dude” Mish said.
“Can we go for a movie?” Navneeth
asked.
“Damn! Grow up man. Beautiful
girl is asking us for a place to go and all you can come up with is a movie?”
Sam winked.
“We will go to a secluded place.
We need privacy. We are family girls you see. And we want to drink till we puke
today.” I suggested.
“See thats my girl.” Tim said and
we left to a human-free zone in ECR. We opened the bottles, sat around and got
drunk. We played the music system in the car and made the tree-filled land a
natural pub. Few minutes later all of us lost our senses and were on the ground
mumbling stuffs.
Zoom Out:
“What happened after that?”
Anushka asked.
“I got raped. We got raped.”
Nisha said with tears struggling its way out of her eyes.
“What? Those guys raped you?”
Maya asked.
“No they were too drunk. We were
all intoxicated. A group of 3 men came there to drink as well and they raped
us. The guys were not in their senses to even realize what was going on nor
were we.” Nisha said as she looked up to hold her tears back.
“Who brough you to this city? How
did you manage to get this job?” Anushka asked.
“The moment the guys regained
their conciousness they found Mish dead. Me and Tina were on the ground and our
state self-explained the accident that had occured. We thought they would help
us but they packed their bags, made sure that they left nothing behind and ran
back to the car. We kept shouting with the maximum we could but they never even
turned back. They took away the car as fast as they could.” Nisha said as she
wiped her tears that landed up on her cheek after her deligent effort to hold
it back.
“But what happened to Mish? Did
the police enquire?” Maya asked.
“Mish....Mish was a nice girl. I
wasn’t able to see her dead. Her mouth had ceased to smile and her eyes were wide
open. Her dead head was turned towards me. We got up after a great struggle.”
“What happened to Mish’s corpse?
How did you come here? Did you meet your parents?” Maya flooded Nisha with
questions.
