This chapter is dedicated to Neetha1

Question for this chapter is, "Do you agree to the rules of your country? If not then explain say one law and also say why you don't agree?"

46) You know nothing about what happened after media found new stories

Addar was clutching the steering wheel while Catherine was shocked. RAPE! SHE WAS RAPED! Catherine was screaming in her mind. She knew that it's unbearable to think of not having a parent. She knew how it is to feel that, she lost her dad.

Suicide is a worst way to die, especially for relatives. But dying due to being raped is not even imaginable. I can't even imagine it.

She was scared but she knew what she should do. She shouldn't ask him but she couldn't control, "How did it happen?"

Addar didn't say anything and Catherine was regretting asking that. They stopped near the charity home which they were visiting. Addar opened his door and went out. Catherine followed him. He met the in charge and said that he wants to volunteer for the day.

When they were giving out food to those residents he said, "It happened when I was a child. He forced himself. Doctors tried their best. Dad arranged the best at that time but even if it is now she can't. He hurt her inside, Cat. Every bruise was cured but there is no treatment for injuries and infection inside the body. He said in court that he was misled by a porn video."

She knew how he must be feeling and once she thought it was weird but now she accepts it. She held his arm tightly. He stopped walking and looked at sky, "Misled Cat? Could you believe it? This society thinks poor should be spared and Rich could bare anything."

Addar was now feeding a mentally disabled 8 year old guy who was smiling at him and tugging at his collar but Addar continued with tears, "Is it bearable to lose my mom like that just because I am rich? I have heard people say at that time, 'Who knows what that rich lady do to seduce that poor guy'. I never understood what that meant then."

Little guy sensed that Addar was crying. He started to wipe Addar's tears. Few other mentally disabled kids came to wipe his tears. Some even tried to tickle him. I am not sure why these kids are called mentally disabled. They should be called mentally able.

He tried smiling for them while he continued after kids left him, "Judge found him guilty and sent him to prison for 8 years. He came home after 8 years as you could see he is living a life of a gentleman." He was referring to the way he was beating a girl in road.

In India, you can urinate in public and hit a woman if she is your wife on road but not hug a woman or a woman to wear a jean in road. Indians don't hesitate to call a guy who hugs his girlfriend as a disgusting guy but they ignore abusing a girl.

He continued talking while he was giving out food and making beds of old people, kids and physically disabled ones, "Indian law says you could imprison rapist for life which is 10 or 15 years. I am not sure. After Delhi rape case its changed to death sentence but there is one word in it that boils my head or anyone who went through these."

Addar stopped walking. He didn't turn to face but was rigid and I tried to hold his hands. Even though she held his hand tight he was motionless before he said, "It said highest punishment could be offered for rarest of cases!" He continued after a moment, "For them my mother was one of lakhs of cases but she was my only mother."

She didn't mind where they were as she hugged him tight. She knew what shaped him. He was a victim of an incident which thought him to respect woman. He was not trying to be perfect, he hated being imperfect man. She knew why he avoided porn and all. She couldn't believe how it would feel when he sees someone watch porn.

Addar continued from her shoulder, "As soon as dad heard those words, he stood up and shouted at the judge. Judge got really angry that my Dad shouted at him in his court. If that was hurting him so much has he ever thought how me or my dad will feel when he said as it is not a rare case so he is not going to give highest of punishment."

Addar sat on the floor and was now feeding a woman is her early 30s as she was having a blank look on her face. He made her open her mouth and stuffed food inside her mouth. She felt bad seeing her so she said, "At least we live in a better world now, and Judges are more concerned about words after nirbhagya case."

He took his eyes from the lady and said to Catherine, "You really think that? What do you know about nirbhagya case?"

Catherine looked a bit taken aback and said about the history of the victims. Catherine also said how one of the culprits was left with a minor punishment as he was not of age. He was called a kid.

That kid was the one who inserted a hot rusted gear rod inside her.

Catherine even said about her friend who stood beside her all through this. He was beaten by them, he was the one who covered her when she was left naked in cold night even though he was thrashed and thrown out too.

But Addar looked at her and said while continuing to feed that lady, "You are just like others. Everything you said was when mainstream was making a story out of her. You know nothing about what happened after media found new stories. Her real name is Jyoti Singh. You don't even know that because you were obsessed with other news which media provides."

Law clearly states Victims should be named or pictured but her parents though showing her identity would be strength to girls but we don't have time for her. We are busy with new stories which pops up on my smart phone.

Catherine was shocked by it he continued to say about it, "Medical reports confirmed that Jyoti had been beaten, penetrated with an iron rod in the genitals, and almost eviscerated by the minor, who had pulled her intestines out through her genitals."

Catherine stood up in shock while she wanted to throw up as if her intestine had a sense of its own and was scared to be in a woman's body who is surrounded by these excuse of living beings.

Addar said without looking at her, "Don't be so scared. These people have done much more. In 1993, 16-year-old Elizabeth Pena and 14-year-old Jennifer Ertman were grabbed by a gang named the Black and Whites on the railroad bridge, and raped for the next one hour. All the six rapists in the gang were teenagers, the youngest Vinnie Medellin, being just 14."

Addar wiped the lady's lips while he continued, "As per the medical examiner, Pena's two front teeth had been knocked out, while two of Ertman's ribs were broken after she had died. The testimony also showed that their necks were stomped upon after they were strangled to death to ensure that 'they were really dead.' There is an another case where a large metallic torch was inside a genitals of a victim and doctors who was lady fainted when she saw it inside her."

He sat beside the lady and played with her while he said, "Will you call these a act of lust? What pleasure could someone get from pulling intestines through genitals or inserting a torch light? All those respected old politicians who call dresses as a reason should answer these?"

Catherine sat on the bed holding her head while he said, "Law allowed only for them to be punished for 8 years max and teenagers can't be kept for more than a year if I am not wrong. I will call these Judges and law makers and ask how a mother will react when she finds that her princess went through so much pain than herself giving birth to her princess. Judges can't stand being questioned or accused but who are we!?"

Catherine didn't know why she was crying but she was crying while Addar was playing with that lady's fingers. After few minutes Catherine said, "I am sorry that you lost your mother in a way like this. She is the only one who could make you feel like a child and you lost her."

Catherine was finding it hard to speak but Addar said effortlessly, "NO, I had another one. Her name is Jenny. She is my elder sister. I was her biggest achievement. She would take me in her arms and show me off to her friends. Sometimes she will keep me in her basket and show me off."

Catherine was shocked and she remembered what Ravichandran said to her. DAMN YOU RAVICHANDRAN!

Catherine looked at him in shock while Addar looked at her for the first time after he started saying all these. He said, "She was there when he raped her. She saw everything that happened. She saw what my mother went through. She saw the tears, heard the scream and felt the blood in her soft hands. He didn't touch her at all but killed her inside."

Catherine tried to ask if she is still alive and she knew that she could be Ravichandran's prey. If she was looking after the company somewhere she wanted Addar to call her and keep her nearby like this mentally able girl who is beside him.

Addar stood up and kneeled in front of Catherine. He took her hands in his and said, "But she suffered more than my mom. Sometimes I think what happened to my mom was less cruel. Cat, it's easy to mend physical wounds but not mental wounds. If that guy had raped and inflicted physical wounds on her it could have been better but he made her see it and inflicted mental wounds."

Catherine was loss of words, she didn't know if her heart was beating. He left her hands to walk to the mentally able lady. He wrapped his arm around her and said, "Meet my elder sister Jenny. She was never the same after that and this is how she is now. I keep her safe from the mentally disabled people who are outside on this hell called earth. Only the in charge grandma knows who she is."

AUTHOR'S NOTE

This is what happened. No mother wants her son to watch porn. Everyone would have at one stage would have got something of a warning about how to use net but most would not have followed.

But these things are what made him who he was.

Jyoti Singh Pandey (I don't want to show her photo even though her parents agreed to release as it could inspire people) is the name of the girl in Delhi Rape Case. You can't find any of the case details I sent in mainstream media. But all these are true.

Taken from the first page of Google. I don't know what I will get if I delve deeper.

Answer for the question is, "I feel as if my country lacks debates. Most things are passed as ordinance or judgement by the court."

Story is nearing an end. Sorry that it's too depressing. I can't write author's note even.

Sorry.

Take care be safe and stay blessed.
