Love With That Beautiful Face‬ Part4

‪#‎Part4‬

One year later...

"And the award for the women empowerment and social welfare goes to the NGO 'Still Beautiful' which is working for women who get molested and harassed mentally or physically. Though this NGO is only 10 months old but it had done a lot for the victims of rape, molestation, sexual harassment, acid attacks etc. and helped those women  by rehabilitation, providing them necessary guidance, employment opportunities etc. This NGO has even fought for justice and sent many criminals inside the bars. When the society turned their back towards such victims, 'Still Beautiful' always stood beside them. The founder of 'Still Beautiful' is present here and I would like to welcome her. I request Miss Rohini to come and join me on this stage and tell us the journey of the struggle which had started with her."

From the crowd, a young lady stood up and moved towards the stage. There was a huge applaud and claps in the background. Cameras were capturing her every movement. But she ignored all this and reached the stage with full of confidence. Her face was glowing with pride and honor. Though there were some scars on her neck and her arms yet she was looking gorgeous, really very gorgeous. ‬‬‬‬

State Chief Minister awarded her with a golden momento and a certificate for the social efforts made by her and her NGO. He patted her shoulder and blessed her. She raised the momento towards her team, volunteers and other members of her NGO and smiled with full joy and happiness. The people clapped for her and shouted her name louder and louder.

Rohini took the mike from the anchor and addressed, "First of all I would like to thank our honorable Chief Minister, the hosts of this evening and people who are present here and especially those who helps us directly or indirectly. A lot has been said about 'Still Beautiful' by this young and handsome anchor. But I would like to tell you something more which was not told earlier. Just a year ago, a girl was very happy in her office because her fiancé promised to take her on dinner at her favorite restaurant. Suddenly, he got a call for an urgent meeting and he forgot to inform her. She became sad. At the same time, her boss called her in cabin and offered her a promotion if she does a small favor to him. She refused and he locked the cabin and she was beaten brutally by a stick. When she lost her all senses, he poured a bottle full of acid on her face and body. What was this? Just a male ego or some frustration and this male ego can be seen in every third man's eyes of the nation. What do you want to prove that we women are just an object for you? We don't have any feelings, emotions? Whether she is 70 years old or 6 years old, men always wants to prove their dominance. Why today girls are not safe even in their own houses? Why they can't walk freely in the streets or why they can't go for a job? Whether she is in her home or at working place, whether she in mall or on the footpath, she always faces such incidents. Since the freedom, many laws and rules have been made for welfare of women and punishment for such criminals, but where is the result? The crime rate is still increasing day by day. Our judiciary system is also very good so the criminal is given clean chit and the victim is treated as a joke there. And the society, yes, the society also wears masks. People will show their anger for such incident on Facebook and Twitter, only till when India will win a match or Salman will launch a new actress. Candle-march and hunger strikes also long lasts for 3 days. But is this really helpful for victim or her family? All of us have to change our vision, our mentality. For the people, it is just like a TV episode but they don't know how the girl is living her life now. On the behalf of my 'Still Beautiful' family, I request the whole nation that we too are human beings and we have equal right to live a respectful life. We are the mothers, sisters, daughters, wives, friends but atleast not an object. Give us some respect from heart. Don't rape us with your eyes. Because once your ego is satisfied, our lives are finished. No one is going to give the same love and respect as before. I want to ask you the people how many of you can hold the hand of an innocent victim girl? How many of you can give her the proper respect and love which she deserves? How many of you can marry her and be her life partner and complete her dreams and wishes?"

The whole hall was silent now. Everyone who was present was looking blankly on the stage. After a minute, Rohini handed the mike to the anchor and left that place quickly.

.........................................

"Excuse me, ma'am." Sukanya, her secretary was sitting near her.
"Ummm. What?" She asked, resting her head to the window of car.
"Someone has given me this." Sukanya handed her an envelope.
"What is this?" She kept in her lap and again started to look outside in the sky.
"Ma'am, it's a cheque for the donation for our NGO." She replied with a smile and twinkling eyes.
"Ok, keep it in my bag." Rohini again handed the envelope to Sukanya.
She was so tired today and wanted some silence but Sukanya was so eager to tell her about this.
"Ma'am, at least see it once."
"Okay, tell me." Finally, Rohini showed some interest.
"It's 5 crores."
"What a joke?" She was shocked and surprised too. This was a very huge donation to a 10 month old NGO.
Rohini took the envelope and looked at both sides of it. Only 'Still Beautiful' was written on it with black ink.
"Who gave you this? What did he said?" She enquired more.
"He was a secretary ma'am. He told nothing about it but he said that his boss will call you tomorrow morning."
Rohini was more confused now. She was thinking that who is the one has donated such amount for her NGO.
Who was he?
