I remember your voice

Part 2

"You can't always divide people into just good and bad as there are100 of more colors apart from black and white"

di can't you wear any other color apart from black

rani spoke

"i can't see it so it also doesn't matter to me but my eyes are sensitive to bright lights, on exposure to it i feel burning sensation in my eyes and vibration on my ears, therefore i have to wear them, and about colors, they are not important in my life anymore"

she replied

like always no one can catch the feeling of hurt, offense, or anything in devika's voice, cause she is now used to things like this, people ask stupid questions from her, sometimes she answer to them and sometimes pretend that she is also deaf along with being blind

the car reached at court the driver or Meera both didn't have to tell this to her cause noises around the courtroom are enough to tell this moreover she remember the route to the court, first left from her house, then right, four roundabouts, one flyover and then again right, sometimes driver take a shortcut to avoid traffic but today he didn't

she step out of the car, and was surrounded by the media, the one more reason she didn't tell rani why she wear black glasses is the media also, she can handle light from the sun and nature but this media and flashes from their camera from almost every direction can even make a blind to the normal person she was still blind

"mam are you actually fighting Rohit oberoi 's case everyone knows that he tried to rape her classmate don't you think you should be supporting a women and not fighting against her

they all were asking the same question like last week, can't they come up with some new content she wonder she was already bored from answering it again and again, they ask her same question and expect different response from her every time

"no questions please"

meera answer on her behalf , only if she can find someone who can answer on behalf of her to life also, cause she also don't know many answers for that too

after shoving aside a huge crowd and after answering their few questions and avoiding some she finally was sitting outside of a courtroom , she love this place cause it was the only place that help her, which save her individuality when she was left with nothing, this place gave her everything name, fame, money she was touching one of the wall beside the chair whereas meerawas over a phone scheduling her next meeting after the hearing

the wall had a scratches a few places Devika wondered if she ever spots them when she could see perfectly she had sat on this chair before too when she was normal like everyone present here, but she never saw it , just like the people present in her life when she could see , she didn't saw their real motives their fake masks, their plaster smile and their dark desires but she start seeing everything right since the day she become blind although god has snatch her eyesight but she felt like it gave her different vision which enable her to see the real color of people

she heard a footstep different one which she never heard before, it was two people and they stop just right few inches before her, Meera probably notice their presence and turn her attention toward them and ask them

"How can we help you"?

she said in a slow voice, may be she was still on the phone

"is she the one who is fighting the case of Rohit oberoi"

the voice was stuttering and nervous, and she could sens tears in the eyes of person who was saying it , it was a women

she understand who it could be , but she kept sitting in her position

"she is my daughter, she said while pointing at the girl who was looking young and was probably 17 or 18 years old

the guy Rohit Oberoi attempted rape on her and now when we have filed a case against him he is threatening us

so what we can help you in this?

meera cleared her throat and ask questions from the women

"is she the one who is fighting this case , please you are women too please help us instead of him, he is a piece of trash and you can understand....

the woman had barely started putting her opinion on the table when devika stand up from her chair and set her in the direction where she could assume that woman was probably standing

"no i can't , i can't understand what you are trying to say , you are putting wrong allegations on my client"

"no we are not , my daughter is just in high school, at least care for that she have her future ahead , that jerk he need to be punished, please understand"

"you are saying that he attempted rape on your daughter, but from what i enquire your daughter went to his house herself, she herself, alone after lying to you went their, on her own will can you tell me why?

"at this woman who was probably standing in front of her, or probably slightly on the side changed her tone into silence utmost silence"

"i am visually blind miss, but your daughter was blind in love, doesn't she"

she changed the direction of her neck slightly on other side where she imagined the figure of her daughter to be standing, of course, she couldn't look her directly in the eye but she wanted her to know that she was talking to her

" didn't you tell her , or are you both covering it in front me so that i will show you some sympathy, you were not blind not mentally retarded you went their with your own will, because you loved him, you know right what a young girl and man probably do alone in a house

"Please shut up"

the women shouted, she ..... she did went their but she didn't had any such intentions , she thought he was a nice guy and he said that he helped her with studies

"mam now i think you both are disable , what a man teaches to a women alone in house don't you know? and from what i heard you people are struggling financially and he will be such a good catch to anyone like you, people like you always seek shortcut to reach where you can only dream, actually your daughter is not blind she is smart, "over-smart"

but she..

the girl was probably sobbing by now because devika can clearly hear her sobs and her mothers voice become shaky too they were not lying she knew but she has stopped listening to truths and was turning blind eye which she only left with now on them
