If we say 'Society', what comes in our mind is differences, malpractice, and so many ill deeds we can think of. It's something which is never going to be extinct but stay forever in our society just because of people and their mentality. But as we s...
Sati!!??? It was like someone has punched Neeya so hard. She was just looking at her dadi. Her Ma was only standing there numb. She know bout all these rituals nd sati. Neeya recalls jer conversation wid baba about the sati..
"Kya? Pati mar gaya to maar dalenge kya jala ke? Ye to galat h na baba?" "Ha beta. Aur mai chahta hu tu apne pairo mai khudh khade ho. Is samaaj ke andhvishwas, riti-riwaz ko badalna namumkin h. Inki soch ko badalna namumkin h. Mai chaha hu ki is samaj mai aurto ki ijjat ho aur unko aise jala ke na mara jae. Ye sati ek bhut badi musibat h jise hume jadh se mitana hoga. Kisi aurat ko adhiiar nhi h pati ke sath marne ka. Unhe jeene ka adhikar h, sabki trh.."
The ladies moves to take Sujata away from her but Neeya stops them," WHI RUK JAIE! Ap log ko koi hak nhi h meri Ma ke jindagi ka faisla lene ka." Neeya stands in front of her Ma in defence nd the ladies back away.
Dadi comes to her slowly,"Dekho shona, hum bhi nhi chahte ki teri Ma ko kuch ho, par ye reet h. Teri Ma ko tere Baba ke sath jana hoga.. tu smjh rhi h na?-" "Nhi...Koi nhi chooega meri Ma ko aur kahi nhi jaengi ye. Baba ko ye sab bilkul psnd nhi. Wo ye dekh ke bilkul khush nhi honge. NHI.!...MAI AISA NHI HONE DUNGI. JAIE AAP LOG!" Neeya turns to her Ma,"Ma chal yaha se." She holds her hand nd moves but stops, Ma wasnt moving.
"Ma...chalo..!?" Finally Ma look at Neeya,"Nhi....mai nhi jaungi tere sath.." Neeya looks on. "Ma..ye kya keh rhi ho? Ye log mar dalenge aap ko. Sati kar denge aur aap janti h baba ko-" "-BAS! Bahut ho gaya h. Ye aaj jo hua na, tere baba ke wjh se hi hua h." Neeya was just shocked. Tears leaves her eyes,"Ma-" "Maine tere baba ko hazaar baar mana kia, na kre ye sab. Par tere baba ko fitoor sawar tha samaj mai badlaw lane ka. Are ye sanskriti h. Riti riwaj h humare yaha ki. ISKO BADALNE KI KOSHISH KRNGE TO YHI HOGA NA.."
Neeya just cant believe what she was hearing. She know Ma never liked this but this much.
Ma looks at her in anger. "Ma. Ye kya bol rhi ho-" "shi bol rhi hu. Ab tere baba nhi h aur ab tu mujhe nhi rokegi. Samjhi. Mujhe jane de. Bas. JANE DE MUJHE!"
Neeya was stunned. Now its her turn to be angry"MAI NHI HONE DUNGI. BABA NHI H TO KYA HUA, MAI HU ABHI. APNI BABA KI BETI AUR MERE JEETE JI YE NHI HOGA.." Neeya moves to stop her Ma but the ladies grab her by her hand nd waist. "CHODHO MUJHE!!"
Ma looks at her wid tears in her eyes,"Ma tujhe meri kasam. mat kar aisa . Ruk ja ma...ma..nhi na..." Neeya begs. Ma then comes to her nd kiss her cheek,"khyaal rkhna apna. Khush rehna." Ma turns to go. "NHI!!!! MAAA....RUKOOOO...NHIIII.." Here Sujata(Ma) was heartbroken. She didnt want to leave her daughter nd die. But she is doing this all for her.
'Agar maine ye nhi kia, to ye samaj mujhe vidwa ke roop mai dekhega aur tujhe bhi ek vidwa ki beti ke roop mai aur mai teri jindagi kharab nhi hone de skti. Ek vidwa samaj ke lie apavitra hoti h aur mai apni apavitrata ki chaya tujhpe nhi padhne dena chahti. Tu khush reh meri bacchi...khush reh..' Ma cries nd walks away slowly.
Raam naam satya h. People starts chanting. Here Neeya tries to get out of the hold but they were holding her so tight that it was paining now.
And now she was so tired of all this, all the power the strength she has put was leaving her body making her weak.
'Nhi...Mai aisa nhi hone de skti...mai ma ko nhi kho skti. Baba ke baad ek ma hi to h meri..nhi..nhi..ma.ma...' "Maaaaaaaaa...... Chodho mujhe...maaaaaaa...ruk ja maaaa.....tujhe meri kasam....ruk jaa......maaaaa...." Neeya screams nd tries to leave but she was feeling so weak...
Suddenly SLAP!! Dadi slaps her so hard making her face numb facing sidely on the ground shocked. "Are kya tabse ma ma chilla rhi h. Are teri Ma sati hone ja rhi h. Log devi ki trh poojenge nhi to vidwa ka kalank lagega uspe." Hey durga ma.. Meri Ma ko bacha lijie...meri Ma ko bacha lo durga ma...kisi ko to bhejo meri madad ke lie....hey durga ma... Neeya sobs..
On the other hand, Anirudh walks in d village with bags in his both hand.

(Its night)
He walks recalling the Britishers word. Aisa nhi h mera desh. Mere desh mai badlaw aaega. Mera desh aurto ki ijjat karna janta h. Ye sab jooth h. Yaha kisi ke sath jabardasti nhi hoti...nhi... He keeps walking when he hear someone screaming "Maaaaaaaaa...... Chodho mujhe...maaaaaa....ruk ja maaaa.....tujhe meri kasam....ruk jaa......maaaaa....-" He follow the voice nd on a way he sees some man taking the body covered in white cloth nd they were chanting ram nam satya h. He also sees a woman following them slowly nd sadly. Ye kya ho rha h- His thoughts r disturbed by the voice of someone crying nd screaming. He follow the voice.
He reach there nd see the ladies holding a girl of around 20 who was screaming for help but suddenly an old woman slaps her hardly nd says something to her. Anirudh looks on nd studies her nd notice how weak nd sad and fragile she is. Suddenly she shouts "CHODHO MUJHE. MAI YE SATI NHI HONE DUNGI. MAI NHI HONE DUNGIII.....---" nd she struggles to get out of hold.Anirudh looks on shocked. sati!?
