- Who is She ? -
"- Just remember the world you're about to enter as Shanaya Shivaay Malhotra is one built on Trust, Honesty, and Loyalty. The punishment for betrayal is death- cruel, grotesque, and painful at that, it means kissing all your dreams goodbye. So, keep the stakes in mind." My grip tightens on the phone as I speak, my voice steady but cold.
I want to warn her.
I want her to know that I am aware that she wants more than mere protection out of this marriage.
I am playing by her rules as long as it benefits me.
"And it's Shivaay for you," With that I end the call.Before I can fully grasp the actions I've done over past few and the effects it'll have on me, Chandrakar barges into my study.
"Ran a background check on Bhabhi " He spits with a sour tongue and sits on the chaise crossing his arms over his chest, still upset over the fact that I didn't even consider him before taking such an important step in my life.
"Heres what I found: 10th pass. 68% in 12th. 2nd year college dropout.Her Father died in a car crash so she Lives with mother and chacha-chachi. Family business, that was handed over by her father earlier, has been going through constant loss since her chacha took over. Apparently, hes a drunkard and a gambler." He pauses, staring at my phase for reaction.
"And also She is a Feminist who deliberately hates men. Gone over the hidden albums in her phone, it's all about incels, giving death sentences to rapists, removing ban from research on pornography and all."
Then he produces a pink file in front of me.
"Also, she wrote some articles on the same, which were later removed from the online platforms and she was banned from writing."
He continues to speak a monotonous manner as I take it from him and browse through pages randomly.This heading catches my eye : "Men : Don't like loud women, but love dead fishes. "
Another entry reads : "....If a woman who comes back from badnaamgali without getting any stains on her chastity deserves to be honor killed, then the man who got her there in the first place sure deserves to be electrocuted and his phallus castrated, that too in front of the same people who killed the women."
And other :....A man who rapes is not a monster. He's a rapist , a criminal and a human being. That's it. For as long as we continue to deem him as a monster, we are denying that he is a human who consciously took bad decision- for raping someone is a choice and not an irresistible human urge, we are collectively denying the responsibility that we failed to judiciously punish him which only increased his motivation to do the same with others , that we all failed as a society to stop him. He is not a monster, for he has both a father and a mother, and brothers and sisters and friends and peers and role models and gurus who are humans. And one cannot be monster who lives among and with humans cause humans have goodness and empathy and caring nature along with a tendency to take bad decisions from time to time. For if a man who rape is a human - he is one who indeed took fucked up decisions which he possibly cannot repay for. For which he deserves the worst punishment known to humankind and simply not be called a monster. For calling him a monster, we redeem him of his moral responsibility, and we redeem ourselves of social responsibility by accepting that this can't be changed, which should not happen.
