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...
"Peeche hato sab..Maine kaha hatoo!! HATOO!" People backs off. "Ye riti riwaj. Ye sab galat h. Aur mai ye nhi hone dunga."

Anirudh again points the firestick towards them making them move back. "Are kya kar loge!?" One of pandit's man say nd walks toward him wid few people. Neeya looks here nd there in hope to find something helpful when she sees the big tinbox of oil barrel. She walks to it nd push it making it fall.
"Peeche hato!!Agar kisi ne bhi aage ane ki koshish ki to, is gaon mai charo trf aag hogi." Anirudh notices the oil barrel nd lights it nd eveyone back away. He looks at Neeya nd give her a slight nod.
Now there was fire between Neeya-Anirudh nd the crowd. "Tum Ma ko sambhalo." Neeya nods nd runs to Ma. She pours more water nd rubs her face with water. She shakes her,"Ma..Utho ma..Ma. utho." She keeps running her face with water nd there Anirudh is looking after the crowd.
"Ye tum theek nhi kar rhe ho. Paap lagega tum dono ko. Dekh lena, durga ma shama nhi krengi." "Mujhe koi farak nhi padhta. Bas mai itna janti hu ki jeene ka haksabhi ko h aur kisi ki jindagi lene ka hak kisi ko nhi h. Aur kya ye paap nhi jo aap log kr rhe h?" Neeya shouts back.
Ma finally, blinks her eyes but she wasnt fully conscious. "Ma...aap theek ho na..? Ma.." Ma blinks few times before opening her eyes. "Neeyaa...!?" "Maa.." Neeya helps Ma to sit. She sees here nd there nd broke down when she sees her husband's body beside her. "Ma.." Neeya hugs her nd tries to calm her down.
"Ye riti riwaz, andhvishwas, parampara..ye sab galat h. Aap log ki ankho mai parda h. Kholie isie aur dekhie, ki ye reetiriwaz, ye andhvishwas kitni galat h." "Galat h? Tum humare poorvaj ke banae hue reet ko galat keh rhe ho, paap keh rhe ho? HIMMAT KAISE HUI TUMHARI HUMARE PURVAJO KA APMAN KARNE KI?" "Are pandit ji, purvaj jindagi jee ke chale gae apni. Ab to jaagie-" "BAS!" Pandit ji shouts making everyone silent.
Ma looks at Neeya questioning,"ye humare rakshak h Ma...Ma aap ye sab chodhie aur ye bataie aap behosh kaise hui?" Ma recalls something nd answers,"Wo..inlogo ne mujhe jal peene ko dia tha, uske baad mujhe chakkar sa aane laga aur.." "sh..koi ni Ma. Mai hu apke sath."
"Are kaun rkhega is vidhwa ko apne ghar? Kaun dekhega ise? Kaun ijjat dega?...Koi ni." Neeya boils wid anger nd turns to crowd,"MAI RAKHUNGI APNI MA KA KHYAAL." Neeya makes her Ma stand nd goes to Anirudh,"Mai, apni Ma aur Baba ki beti, khyaal rkhegi apni Ma ka. Aur yhi baat ijjat ki, koi de ya na de lekin mai apni ma ko utna hi pyaar, aur utna hi ijjat dungi jo is sansar mai koi ni de skta. Aplog ko kya lagta h ki betiya ghar nhi chala skti? Betiya khyaal nhi rkh skti apne parivar ka? Are hum ladhki h to kya hua, h to hum insaan hi. Jisne admiyo ko banaya usne hume bhi banaya h. Ye na bulhulie pandit ji ki aapko janm dene wali bhi ek aurat h. Aur jiski pooja krte h wo bhi ek aurat hi h.."
"AEE LADKI!!!! HUMARE BHAGWAAN KA ITNA BADHA APMAAN.." Pandit ji walks towards them throwing water on the fire, but Anirudh blocks his way by pointing the firestick at him. He turns to Neeya nd signals her to the funeral pyre. Neeya turns to Ma,"Ma. Hume baba ka antim sanskar karna hoga-" "-nhi..tu aisa kuch nhi kregi. Mujhe sati hona-" -BAS MA! Bahut hua ma. Aap aisa kuch nhi karengi. Ab hum is baare mai baad mai baat karenge-"
"Are behn ji. Samjhaie inhe. Ye jo kr rhe h theek nhi h. Hume agni bhi deni h-" "-aap chahte h ki antim sanskar ho jae na. To ab yhi hoga."
Neeya takes another stick nd fires it. Neeya looks at her Ma who was begging her to stop, but Neeya ignores her nd goes to the pyre. She looks at her Baba for few mins nd then places the firestick down.
There people starts throwing water on the fire nd starts coming towards them. Anirudh tries to stop them wid the help of firestick nd fights wid dem.
Ma kneels down crying scared for her daughter's future. Mere vidwapan ka kalank meri bacchi pe lag jaega to meri bacchi kaise jiegi?
There Neeya keeps more stick on her Baba stick crying. She recalls all the moments wid her baba. She takes 16 rounds holding the water pot wid a hole in it. Atlast, she drops the pot. There Anirudh keeps fighting others. Neeya takes the firestick but somehow a man comes running to her nd push her. She falls down with firestick in her hand. She turns around nd sees the man coming to her slowly. She collects the soil in her one hand nd throws it on that man's face. He backs away rubbing his face nd eyes. Neeya quickly stands nd push him down. She takes the firestick nd goes to the pyre to burn it, but her hands keep shaking nd she cries silently. Kaise kar skti hu mai aisa? Apne baba ko agni kaise du? Baba aap q chake gae hume chodh ke, apni beti ko chodh ke. She sobs nd recalls every moment wid him.
Anirudh notices Neeya standing there nd her hand shaking. He know how she might be feeling. "Tumhare baba tumhare sath h." Neeya looks at him still fighting but looking at her. "Ha. Tumhare baba humesha tumhare sath h, tumhare dil mai h. Wo kahi gae nhi h. Tumne aaj jo kia, unhe garv hoga tumpe. Wo jaha khi bhi honge muskura rhe honge." Anirudh pushes the men away nd takes the firestick nd points toward them again. "Par unhe bhi mukti chahie na. Agni de do. Wo door nhi gae h tumse." A man throws water on the firestick nd stars pushing him. Some runs toward Neeya. She smiles nd before they can l reach her, she fires the pyre smiling. Everyone stops in their track.
Anirudh smiles seeing her smiling confidently.
Baba mujhe dekh rhe honge aur musjura rhe honge. Akhir maine apne baba ko garv mehsoos karaya hoga. Wo muskura rhe honge dekhke ki unki beti ne apni Ma ko sati se bacha lia. Mai apne baba ka har sapna poora krungi. Unhone jo shuru kia tha, usse mai poora karungi.
Ye samaaj mai badlaw lane ki nai shuruat h. Aur mai kuch bhi karunga lekin samaj mai se aisi soch ko khattam karna h. Tark kutark karke agar fark mite, to maitaunga. Kuch bhi ho, mera desh badlega. Ab mitega tark se fark!!
