Nadaan Ishq - KarEena

Chapter 30

It was a hectic day for everyone at thana, so all were working without time pass.
A girl in her early 20s entered the thana with a distressed expression. Pushpa ji stood up and asked "Ji batayiye, hum aapki kaise madat kar sakte hain."

The girl said in an upset tone "Humein madam sir se milna hai."

Santosh said taking her to Haseena's cabin "Aayiye yaha hain madam sir ka cabin."

Others also assembled in her cabin listening to the girl's complain. Haseena asked with a calm tone "Ji batayiye, kya pareshani hai. Bina kisi sankoch ke, jo bhi baat hai wo humein batayiye."

The girl started explaining "Madam, mera naam Priya hai, main Lucknow ke ek famous restaurant cum bar me waitress ka kaam karti hun. Mujhe waha aane wale ek regular customer Vicky Rathod aur uske doston ke khilaf shikayat karni hai. Unlogon ne mujhe sexually harass karne ki koshish ki hai. Jab maine apne manager se complain ki, to badi safai se wo yeh keh kar nikal gaye ki main victim card play kar rahi hun. Aur wo log Ameer families se belong karte hain isiliye unse paise ainthane ke liye yeh sab kar rahi hun. Kaha dubara aisa kiya toh mujhe naukri se nikal denge. Aur agar main FIR karti hun toh bahot badnami hogi meri family ki, wo log bahut seedhe hai, ye sab nahi jhel payenge, please hamari madad kijiye."

All looked at her with a serious expression. Pushpa ji asked in an upset tone "Toh tumne unhe samjhane ki koshish nahi ki ?"

Priya answered "Madam, pehle hamare desh me ladkiyon ke adhikar ke liye laws banaye gaye the. Lekin ab unhi laws ko istemal karte waqt ladki ke character aur dignity pe sawal uthaye jate hain. Har ladki to paise ki lalchi nhi hoti, thik waise hi jaise ye log garv se kehte hai ki 'not all men are dogs'. Ab aalam ye hai jab bhi koi ladki kisi ladke par koi ilzam lagati hai, Toh seedha sawal uss complaint ki sacchai par uthta hai. Sabko lagta hai ki woman card khel rahi hai. Hamari purush-pradhan society har baar naye tarike se stree-virodhi niyam bana leti hai. Log kehte hai 'innocent until proven guilty'. Phir hamari ye male dominated society yeh kyu nahi manti ki 'Suspect until proven innocent.'

Everybody was left in deep thoughts after she was done speaking. Haseena cleared her throat and said with a calm tone "Dekho Priya..ab tum yaha aa gayi ho to nischint raho. Tumhe insaf milega. Magar bina kisi official complaint ke isme thoda samay lagega. Tum FIR karogi toh hi acha hoga, badnami ke Darr se chup rehna sahi baat nahi hai."

Priya said with teary eyes "Madam, mujhe bahot bharosa hai aap par, please mujhe FIR karane mat kahiye."

Haseena nodded unwillingly and said "thik hai hum tumhe force nahi karenge."

Santosh came towards haseena and showed her laptop and said "Maddam sir, wo Vicky yaha ke MLA ka Beta hai, aur baaki ke uske dost bhi Lucknow ki badi business families se belong karte hain. Inke upar pehle bhi bahot se rape, threatening aur attempt to murder ke charges lage hain. Par ye hamesha bach jate hai."

Haseena nodded while Karishma said quickly "Madam sir, hum unko jaa kar leke aate hain..thodi baat chit karenge na hum apne tareeke se toh sab kubool kar lenge."

Everybody looked at her in shock and uttered in unison "Aap baat karengi ?"

Haseena said with a sarcastic tone "Nahi aap rehne dijiye Karishma Singh, aapke baat karne ke baad, wo baat karne ke liye bachenge nahi. Cheeta aur Rajvir, jao tumlog unhe inquiry ke liye Thane lekar aao. Fir dekhte hai kya karna hai aage. Aur tum Priya, shanti se ghar jao. Tumhari naukri bhi nahi jayegi aur inhe saja bhi milegi."

Priya left and Cheeta & raj went to bring all those boys to thana.

Karishma greeted haseena and was about to move out of the cabin after Pushpa ji and Santosh left, when haseena stopped her and said - "Karishma Singh, aapne saari pending files complete kar li ?"
