Chapter 59: "Nayra!"
The episode starts with Aryan telling everyone about Nayra.
A: Let me tell from the start,
"I belong to a middle class family of Dehradun. A small but happy and complete family having my father, my mother, Nayra and I. Nayra was much younger than me but we were like best friends and best siblings of the world. I used to complete her every wish even before her wish could come on her tongue. For her, I was her ideal. Everything was going good infact perfect, before that terrible incident happen in our lives. One storm came and took away all the happiness with it. It was more than 3 years ago. I was studying for my exams as I had to qualify my Intelligence Entry Test ( I don't know what is the exact procedure for it so made a test myself). Nayra was also studying in school at that time. A grand fare was held in Dehradun. It used to be organised every year and people from many far away places used to come and enjoy that fare but that year, there were so many rape cases and kidnapping cases were being reported in India so, not much people came. Nayra was fond of those fares and she had been going to that fare since her childhood but that year, mom and dad didn't permit her to go. She keep on insisting but they didn't agree for her safety. Their fear was totally justified so I also agreed with them. But late night, when they have slept, Nayra came to me and insisted me to take her to the fare. I didn't agree but she kept on insisting until I finally agreed not able to bear her tantrums more. We sneaked out of the house silently and didn't let our parents notice. In the fare, there were not that much crowd like it used to be but still there were many people there. I asked her to be with me. She was so excited and happy. We keep on enjoying together for an hour after which I asked her to return home back. She always being stubborn and throwing her tantrums didn't listen to me and insisted on staying for some more time. The crowd of people was getting less too. All of a sudden, A van stopped there and some goons came out of it and started firing. I wish I had been a soldier at that time but I was not. So, like all other people, I started running away holding Nayra's hand tightly. I had ran a few meters when One of the goon held Nayra's other hand and she started panicking and shouting. I tried my best to save my sister and punched that goon hard on his face. No sooner had I done this when I received a tight blow with an iron rod on my head. My grip on Nayra's hand losened and I started feeling dizzy. Nayra's shrieks were echoing in my ears which didn't let me get faint. My head was bleeding continuously and my vision was blurry. They caught Nayra who was just trying to resist them and calling my name. They made her sit in the van and soon the van started going away. My head was spinning badly but still I had some unknown strength in me that was asking me to go behind her. I started running behind the van but my pace was slow. So, I snatched a person's bike and started following the van without wasting another minute. Soon, the van reached near to a deadly spot. It was a bridge between two mountains and water was flowing under it. It was really deep. Not much people go there and it was late night too so that place was completely deserted."
Aryan was totally numb and emotional. Tears were running down his eyes. He stopped as if he lost energy to speak more. Kabir went close to him and held his hand tightly giving him strength. Aryan looked in his eyes painfully and Kabir nodded him to speak. Aryan took a deep breath and started again,
Aryan(painfully but smiling): My sister was really so brave. She kept on resisting them and somehow opened the door of the van, jumping out of it. The Van stopped on the bridge. Before they could come out, I reached where Nayra had fallen and I made her stand. She was crying badly and was scared to the core. The goons came out and this time, I hid her behind me protecting her. Those goons started beating me badly.
Flashback starts,
Nayra was hiding behind Aryan. Aryan was in extreme anger.
A: Don't you dare touch my sister. I will kill you. (Loud) Get out!!
G1(anger): You punched me right? Now, you wil face the consequences of it. (Warning tone) Now save of your sister if you can!
Saying so, he signaled other goons and they started beating Aryan badly. That goon grabbed Nayra's hand and took her towards the bridge. Nayra kept on resisting him and shouting. She was panicking and pleading badly,
N(crying) Let me Go!! Leave me!! Aryan Bhaiya!!! Save me!! Leave my brother !!!(shouting) Let me go!!! What have I done!!! Leave my brother!! Bhaiya!!!!
The goon dragged her towards the bridge and pushed her making her fall in the middle of bridge. The goons keep on hitting and kicking Aryan badly until he started bleeding from every part of his body. He was being tortured badly but his only focus was on Nayra. And then, something happened that widened his eyes. The goon holding Nayra with her hair, pulled her towards the van and tore down her sleeves in a go. Nayra shouted at the top of her voice and kept on pleading him. The goon came closer to her standing an inch away from her and he grabbed her by her waist. She, crying badly, pushed him and started running toward Aryan but the goon caught her back and slapped her hard on the face making her fall on the ground and injuring her head. Looking at this, Aryan's eyes widened and he once again getting some strength to fight, shouting Nayra's name, got up and punched the goons and started running towards Nayra. But to his bad luck, he got dizzy because of his severe injuries and stumbled in his path. Finding it the right time, The goons started hitting him again with rods and hockey sticks. And soon, Aryan was lying on the ground bleeding profusely. He had no more courage to fight. His vision was blurry. He could just hear Nayra's shrieks and cries. The other goons went to her too and they ripped her clothes apart. Now, she was standing in front of them in her lingeries trying to cover herself with her dopatta. The goons had surrounded her and smirking looking at her. Nayra was totally traumatized. She became quiet and blanked totally and she was just looking at Aryan with her pleading and sobbing eyes. Her lips, face and all her body had many bruises. She was shivering and losing her senses. She was about to fall when one of the goon held her by her waist and another goon brought out a water bottle and emptied it over her bringing her back to her senses. Before she could start crying and shouting again, The goons snatched her dopatta and untied her bra revealing her body fully to them. Aryan was crying badly. He tried to get up but he was not able to because of his injuries. He started crawling towards them shouting her name,
A(crying): Nayra!!! Leave her!! Leave my sister!! Nayra!!! No!!!
He punched the ground angrily. He tried to get up again but He was not able to do anything and her sister was being rapped in front of his eyes. Nayra's cries and shrieks were echoing in his ears. She was shouting badly but none of the goon showed mercy on her. She was breathing heavily and continuously struggling. The goons were enjoying her shouting and struggles even more. They were turn by turn raping her giving several injuries to her. They kicked her, tortured her and fulfilled all their filthy lusty desires on her. It keep on happening for half an hour until she became lifeless.
All this while, both the brother and sister keep on shouting and crying helplessly until they both lost their all strengths. Aryan with his teary eyes, lying on the ground in his pool of blood, stared in the eyes of Nayra painfully. Nayra was looking in his eyes with no expression but when he looked towards her, she closed her eyes as if she lost all her self respect to even look back in his eyes. She closed her eyes as if was not able to look back in those eyes proudly as she always used to do. Tears were coming out of her closed eyes which showed that she had lost all hopes. Aryan once again shouted,
A(panicked): Nayra!!! No!!! No!! No no no!!!!
He kept on punching the ground and kicking the ground with his legs. He was trying to get up but was not able to move even. He was crying for help but no one came. The goons smirked looking at them. One of them asked the other goons,
G1: This girl is of no use to us now. You know what you have to do with her.
Saying so, he signalled them and one of the goons pulled her up by her hair and made her stand. She was just looking at the ground and crying quietly. She has no expressions. Aryan once again tried to speak but he lost his strength to even speak. He was not able to see her sister standing totally naked in front of her. He just closed his eyes and crying badly. Then, he opened his eyes and looking at ground, he tried to breath as he was not able to do so. Gathering courage, he lifted up his eyes seeing directly in her eyes painfully and with low guilty voice, he spoke,
A: Nayra! I am sorry!!!
Nayra, as if hearing his voice, looked up in his eyes and tears fell down her eyes, saying,
N: Bh...!! Bhaiya!!!
She had just able to say this and then, the goon pulled out his knife and stabbed in her stomach. Nayra gave out a loud shriek and then, became silent. Aryan's eyes widened and he shouted,
A: No!!!!!! Nayra!!! No!!
He kept on crying and finally, got able to stand up. He, with his limping leg, started running towards her but before he could reach her, the goons pushed her in the river and escaped in their van. Nayra's body fell in the river. Aryan came at the edge of the bridge and shouted her name but his injuries and his pain made him faint right in the middle of the bridge.
Flashback ends.
Aryan, crying badly and having pain in his eyes, was about to fall on the ground but Vansh and Kabir supported him and made him sit on the couch. The girls except Riddhima were crying badly. Riddhima had tears in her eyes too but as she knew all of this and facing such situations many times in her carrier, she was was able to control herself. Ishani rushed to Aryan and made him drink water. Aryan was sobbing alot. Even Dadi and Ajay were in tears too. Sia and Sejal were crying badly on Ajay's shoulders. Ajay was trying to calm them down while Angre was holding Dadi. Aryan continued,
A(crying): After that, I became unconscious. For like 2-3 hours, I was lying on that bridge unconscious. When I gained my senses back, it was the time of dawn. No one came for my help. Whatever happened, I was not in my senses to call someone. I had lost my phone somewhere also. I just keep on remembering what had happened and I keep on shouting her name. Somehow, listening to my shouts, Kabir came there. He took me to the hospital where I narrated him the whole incident as he was the only one closest to me. He told me how my mom at the time of the dawn, not finding Nayra and Me at home, had called Kabir to search for us. Mom and Dad also came to the hospital and mom was totally traumatised. Dad didn't even speak to me. I was restless. I didn't care for my injuries and taking Kabir with me, I went to the police station to register FIR and finding my sister's dead body. But......(sarcastically) We were middle class so why would police help us. They just dismissed the case saying that they cannot register the conplaint until 24 hours. I was standing in front of them, bandgaed from my head to toe and pleading them to find my sister's dead body but they started making fun of me and her, saying that she shouldn't have gone out of the house in such circumstances. They put all the blames back on me and Nayra holding her responsible and calling her characterless. It boiled my anger and I punched him on his face. The complaint got registered against me and I had to spent the whole day in jail. They didn't even registered complaint for Nayra's case. When I come back home, I found my my parents being bashed and criticised by the whole locality. They kept on taunting them as their daughter had been rapped and their son had been jailed. My mother not able to bear all this, cut her wrists the next day and......(taking a long breath) and she died! I was in a deep trauma. Kabir was supporting me alot but my father....He held me responsible for all this. He blamed me for everything. I know he was hurt and angry. I kept on pleading him and apologising him but he didn't listen to me and threw me out of the house. He disowned me! Even Kabir kept on pleading him but society's taunts and criticism has sometime, even more power than the loving and caring words of the closed ones. I pleaded holding his legs but I knew well that I was responsible for all this. I couldn't save my sister and my mother. Dad shouted on me and closed the doors of the house on me. Kabir requested me to stay at his house for one day and we can come back the next day to convince him. I didn't want to go but then, I went away with him. The next day, when I came back home, I found the door locked and got to know that my dad has left the city right after I had left. I tried to find him for many days but couldn't get any clue. And That's how, such a beautiful home and happy family got destroyed forever. Happiness closed its door on us forever. A month passed like this and I kept on listening the bashing of the society for being the murderer of my mom and my sister. Everyone held me responsible for this and Kabir had supported me. He keep on giving me strength and on his insistence, I gave my exams and somehow, qualified. And Kabir took me with him for the training. Ever since, I am living my life like this. Only Kabir and Riddima know about this incident and My father too....but I don't know even he is alive of not. (Teary eyed) The Aryan who always keeps on playing pranks in front of you and keeps on making mischieves is not such a happy soul. Everyone has some hidden pain and past inside them. I have horrible memories associated with that city but I am ready to go there. I am ready to go and fight for Annie and all other girls. I am ready because if my Nayra had been here, she would have wanted the same. At that day, while starting my journey for the services of my country, I had taken oath that I will give my life but will never let anyone suffer what My sister has suffered. I will fight till the last drop of my blood but Will not let any family end up like my family. I will not........"
And he started crying badly holding his head. Riddhima rushed to him and held his head lifting it up.
R: Aryan! You have always fought till the last drop of your blood and infact, at that moment too, You had fought till the last breath. Not just Nayra, but We will serve justice to all the girls together. I am with you. Everyone here is with you. We will fight together. Okay?
Aryan was sitting on the sofa and Riddhima standing in front of him. He looked up in Riddhima's eyes and then, hugged her putting his head on her belly and crying badly as a child cried in the embrace of his mother. Riddhima caressed his hair and sat down to his level on her knees. She was having tears in her eyes and tried to make him calm down. Vansh and Kabir also supported him. And soon, they made him sleep in his room as he was really depressed. Ishani was taking care of him. Everyone left for their respective works. As they had to leave for Dehradun, they got busy to complete the preparations with a heavy heart but new determination.
At night, Vansh comes to Riddhima's room. She was standing at the window staring outside and in deep thoughts. Vansh comes close and hugs her from back. She comes out of her thoughts but knew well that its him so, she keep on standing in that position and rested her head on his chest. Vansh leans comes closer to her ear and kisses her ear lobe t which Riddhima smiles a little.
V: I love you sweetheart!
R(smiles): Love you too Vansh!
V: So, what was my sweetheart thinking?
R: Whatever that is going on in here!
V: You mean about Aryan?
R: About everything! Annie is missing. I am worried about her and after listening to Aryan's words, I just hope nothing such happen with Annie. Mrs. D'souza will be broken to the core. These wedding functions are also going on.
V: Don't worry Riddhima. We are together in this.
R: You know what Vansh...When I was alone, I was nit fearful of anything, any enemy, any planning but now you all are with me. I have to protect you all at the same time, complete my mission. I don't know why Vansh But I am feeling that something wrong is going to happen.
V: Don't say like that Riddhima. Nothing wrong will happen. We will complete this mission successfully.
R: Hmm!
Seeing Vansh getting worried, Riddhima got quiet but in her mind, she was hell worried. She was sensing something worse and she had never felt like that quite often. It had happened with her only two times, once before Vansh had accused her of betraying him and second, When Rajver was going to die. And it was the third time, she felt this way.
R(herself): Why it happens always! Why am I feeling this way! Its not just a feeling! My heart is restless! I just hope Annie is safe! Tomorrow , we are going to Dehradun, I don't know what chaos is waiting for us there.
The scene shifts to Dehradun. At a secluded dark place, there was not much people present. It was raining lightly and some vendorers were just sitting beside their stalls and taking tea. Some of them were sleeping and some were just being enjoying the rain. There was no woman or girl seen there. An old man in his torn muddy clothes, messy hair, long beard and barefooted, was laying down under a tree and he was sleeping. From his looks, he looked like a beggar. All of a sudden, A big black van stopped at that place. The windows of the van were black so nothing from inside could be seen plus it was all dark. One of the window glass turned down and A girl was seen. She was wearing black mask and black googles, probably for hiding her identity. She pointed towards the old man and signalled his driver. The driver got down the car and went to one of the vendor. As soon as the driver had got down, all the people there ran away because they knew what happens when such mysterious cars stop in the locality. Either someone is murdered or kidnapped. So, everyone started running but the driver caught one of them. He asked,
D(pointing at the old man): Do you know who he is?
V: Let Me Go!! Why are you asking?
D: Just answer to what you have been asked about. (Showing his gun to him) or the consequences will not be good.
V(scared): He...I.. I don't know who he is... I just heard that he has ran away from a mental asylum. I don't know his name either.
D: Don't he has anyone in his family?
V: I Don't think so. No one here recognizes him. He just keep wandering all day. He is mad.
The driver goes back to the car and talks to the girl. The girl says,
"I knew that he would be perfect for our work. (Smirk) Get Him!!
After that, some more men get down the car and they went towards the old man. They silently made him smell chloroform. The man struggled a little and then, he fainted. The goons picked him up and took him to the van. The vendor was standing there being shocked but he was shaking and he didn't say anything. The driver came close to him and he started shivering. The driver smirked and pulling out his gun, he hitt it hard on his head making him fainted. Then he dragged his body in the middle of the road and sat back in his car. He started driving and made his van run over the body of the vendor, killing him in the process. And then, the van went away and the girl is seen smirking, she says,
"Well done! We should not leave any proofs or witness behind!"
The driver smirks too.
