*bacche laapata*

As Neeya and Anirudh decides to go to village to ask for the children with Misha, they sees crowd coming towards them. Neeya recognise them as her student's parents.
They goes to them nd Misha runs to her Mother when she sees her. "Kya hua? Aap sab yaha?" Neeya asked tensed. They look at each other fuming in anger, when one of the ladies ask in anger making her flinch,"Humare bacche kaha h?"  "Apke bacche?" "Ha. Humare bacche. Kal padhne aae the par ghar hi nhi aae."
Neeya and Anirudh looks on shocked. "Kya!? Aisa kaise ho skta h?" "Yahi hum bhi jan na chahte h. Kuch bacche parso se to kuch kal se gayab h." They start shouting on her which makes her scared. Anirudh notice Neeya scared nd tries to defend her,"Hume bhi ye baat abhi pata chali h aur mai aur Neeya isilie apke paas hi arhe the poochne ke lie-" "-JOOTH!" One of the men shouts at them nd goes in to bring all the other students out of school. "Ab ye bacche nhi aaenge yaha padhne. Aur ladki seedhe seedhe batado humare baccho ko kaha chupa ke rakha h warna anjaam bahut bura hoga!" Neeya joins her hand,"Mera vishwas kijie. Mujhe nhi pata apke bacche kaha gae...Maine..Maine kuch nhi kia h. Mai to khud aaj aap sabke paas aarhithi poochne ki bacche q ni aarhe...ap vishwas kijie.."

"Neeya!" Anirudh calls her softly. Neeya turns to him with teary eyes,"Anirudh ji..ye log keh rhe h..ki..maine inke baccho ko....mai..-" "shhh.." Anirudh silence her by holding her hands. Neeya cries. Anirudh holds her by her shoulder.

He turns to the crowd,"dekhie..aap log aisa kaise keh skte h ki Neeya ne hi kuch kia ho...iske peeche koi aur bhi ho skta h. Aap aise kisi pe bhi iljaam nhi laga skte!" "Nhi!Ab kuch bhi ho. Is ladhki ko jawab dena hi padhega, kaha h humare bacche?" The crowd shouts agreeing.
Neeya flinch at their shouting. Anirudh turns to Neeya,"Neeya...daro mat. Mai hu na." Neeya nods slowly,"nhi...mai..mai aisa kaise kar skti hu. Mai bas itna janti hu ki....wo..aate the aur..padh ke chale jate the..-" "-jooth bol rhi h ye ladhki."

The man throws a big stone at the school window. "NHIII.." Neeya runs nd stands in front of school. "Nhi...ye kya kar rhe h aap log..Mera vishwas kijie..mai kuch nhi janti hu is baare mai.....maine kuch bhi ni kia h...aap bina kuch jaane samjhe aise tod fod nhi kr skte.." Neeya cries. Anirudh runs to  her. "Dekhie. Aap aisa nhi kar skte. Ap aise kaise iljaam laga skte h." "Q ni? Are ye najane humari betiyo ko kya kya sikhati thi. Tark karna, aur na jane kaun se adhikar. Ghar aake na jane kya kya sawal karti thi. Are ab aap log bataie, ladkiyo ke ye sab shobha deta h? Are iska baap to rha nhi, khudh to mar gaya lekin apni beti ko na jane kya kya sikha gaya...Are mai to kehti hu isi ne kia h kuch." "Ha..ha...haa.." crowd starts shouting on her when someone again throws stone at school. Nd then man rushes in school with stick nd rod in their hands nd ladies throwing stone at the school. "Nhiiiii......" Neeya moves to run inside to stop them when a stone hits her head. "NEEYA!" Anirudh holds Neeya immediately before her falling. Seeing blood on her head makes his blood boil in anger and he turns to the crowd,"RUKIYE AAP SAB LOG.....MAINE KAHA RUKIYE."
Some of them stops but some don't and that's when a gun firing's sound stops them.

Neeya nd Anirudh turns to see Kamal, Indra nd his men looking at them. Everyone stops. "Ye kya ho rha h yaha pe?" Everyone looks down, when one man goes to him joining his hand,"Mukhiya ji, hum sabke bacche lapata h aur wo bhi yaha aane ke baad se. Aur wo ab kahi ni mil rhe. Ye ladki bhi kuch nhi bol rhi...Mukhiya ji...ab aap hi kuch kariye...humare bacche..-" he starts crying. "To aap log aise tod fod krenge.?" Kamal turns toward Neeya,"beta. Ye kya keh rhe h sab log?"
Neeya doesn't answer nd looks away. Anirudh answers in her behalf,"Kamal kaka, aisa kuch nhi h. Neeya aisa kabhi nhi kar skti. Koi galat fehmi hui h-." "Galat fehmi...!?..hume??. Are jab bacche sirf yaha aate the ghar se aur phir ghar laut jate the, to aur kaha jaenge?... Mukhiya ji. Isi ne kuch kia h. Pehle iske baba aur ab ye ladki."
Neeya breaks down when they mention of her baba. Kamal sighs. "Koi saboot h?" Neeya moves her head in no.

Indra was standing in corner with smirk nd enjoying all the drama.

"Lekin humare paas h malik." Everyone turns around to find a man with his son walking towards them. Neeya recognise him quickly, its her student nd her father. "Malik. Ye abhi ghar aaya tha yaha se. Isne bataya ki kuch bacche lapata ho gae h to gaon walo ne sabhi bacho ko ghar bhej dia h." He turns to his son,"beta, tumne jo mujhe kaha tha wo mukhiya ji ko batao." The boy looks at Neeya nd then at mukhiya ji scared. "Kal..jab didi padha rhi thi...tab..koi admi aae the...aur didi ko kuch baccho ke bare mai pooch rhe the... Didi ne kaha tha ki aur baccho ka intejaam ho jaega..."

Neeya, Anirudh and everyone looks on. "Nhi....nhi....ye jooth bol rha h...nhi..." "Accha! To chota baccha jooth bolega ab? Are sab galti tumhare baba aur ma ki h jo tumhe itna sar pe chadha kr rkha. Are samjhaya tha teri Ma ko ki ladki h ladki ki trh rkhe. Par nhi. Tere baba ko to bhoot sawar tha apni beti ko oochai pe le jane ki. Beta nhi hua to beti ko hi beta banane chale h!Dekh lia nateeza. Pehle pita aur ab ye-" "BAS!" Anirudh shouts. "ye kya bol rhe h aap log? Aisa kaise bol skte h? Are aap log ko to kuch seekhna chahie us admi se jisne koi bhedbhav nhi kia h beta beti mai. Aur apni beti ko is kabil banaya. Devi ko pooja jata h lekin ghar ki beti ko kyu daba ke rakha jata h!? Kyu ek ladki wo kaam nhi kar sakti jo ladke kar skte h? Bas aap log ki inhi soch ki wjh se aaj ladkiya ghar mai kaid rehne ke lie majboor h. Jo bhi ho, mujhe garv h Neeya pe aur uske baba pe." He takes her hand in his. "Aur mujhe yakeen h ki Neeya ne aisa kuch ni kia h."

"Garv! Aise log pe garv nhi,  thoo karna chahie, jo samaj ke neeti, unke reeti rivaj, sanskriti ko badalna chahte h!" 
Neeya looses all her control,"Chup ho jaie aap sab!..mere baba ke baare mai aplog ko aisa bolne ka koi hak nhi h. Samaaj!? Are aap jis samaaj ki baat kr rhe h wo samaaj nhi, andhvishwas se ghira samaaj h, jaha devi ki pooja to ki jati h, lekin ghar ki laxmi ko dabaa ke rakha jata h. Jaha admi ko bhagwaan to aurto ko unki paon ki dhool samjhi jati h. YE H SAMAJ?" Anirudh looks at Neeya proudly. He can see how much hurt nd angry she is.

"dekha Mukhiya ji! Is ladki ki soch humare samaj aur sanskriti ko lekar."  Kamal shouts,"Bas! Neeya. Mujhe maaf kar do Lekin tumhe iska dand awashya milegi. Tum ab is vidyalay mai nhi padhaogi.-" "-Par kaka...aisa bhi to ho skta h na ki koi fasa rha ho. Aap aisa nhi kr skte kaka-" "-Anirudh! Humne bol dia to bas!" Neeya stands there stunned. 

Kamal signals his man toward school nd all his men moves to go inside with stick but Anirudh stops them by standing on their own,"Maaf kijiega kaka. Mai apka bahut aadar karta hu lekin aap jo ye kar rhe h wo galat h. Aur mai ye nhi hone dunga!" "Anirudh, tum-" "-Nhi kaka. Ye vidyalay nhi tootega. Tab tak nhi jab tak koi saboot na mil jae."
Kamal looks on. He sigh nd then says,"Theek h!" Villagers starts questioning him when Kamal stops them,"Sirf 1 din! Neeya mai tumhe 1 din ka samay de rha hu. Agar tum apne apko nirdosh sabit kar dogi, to tum is vidyalay mai padha sakti ho nhi to ye vidyalay ko tod dia jaega!" Neeya only nods.

Everyone goes from there except Indra. He walks towards her nd hugs her. Neeya looks on shocked nd tries to push him away but his grip only tightens. "Mujhe pata h Neeya ki tum aisa kuch nhi kar skti. Mujhe pata h ki tum khud ko nirdosh sabit karne mai safal rhogi." He looks at her with fake concerns making Neeya groan.
"Mai baba se baat krunga. Waise bhi kuch din mai humari sagai h. Apna khyal rkhna." He caress her cheek nd then goes from here.
She wanted to slap him but as Anirudh was standing there, she cant.

And there Anirudh looks on them in jealous but again...he ignores it thinking bout Saudamini. 

Anirudh turns to Neeya,"Neeya, sab theek ho jaega. Mai janta hu ki tum aisa kuch nhi kr skti. Ab pareshan mat ho. Mai hu na!" Neeya wipes her tears away and smiles lightly. "Neeya.!" she looks at him. Anirudh notice red marks on her head nd moves his finger to remove the strand of her hair on her injury but hesitates. Neeya notice this nd then she herself removes it blushing. She cant stop her this mystery feeling nd herself blushing in this situation also. "Halki si chot h. Theek ho jaega." They both remains silent for few seconds when Anirudh says,"Chale? Hume us admi ko dhoodna hoga jiske baare mai wo baccha baat kar rha tha. Tumhe kuch pata h?" Neeya thinks for awhile when she remembers something,"Kuch din pehle ek aadmi aaya tha mere paas jo baccho ke baare mai mujhse pooch rha tha. Unka naam Subhash Goswami hai. Wo 2 din lagatar aya, baccho ke sath khela, unhe sanskrit padhaya. Par teesre din wo nhi aya aur tabhi se bacche..." Anirudh hums,"Hume unse poochna hoga."
