Ragini is packing her bag.. ‘ragini y r u going’ laksh asks being worried. ‘Laksh is this a question’ Ragini asks. ‘ragini thats really dangerous. . Y r u risking ur life ‘ laksh asks her holding her shoulder. ‘Laksh u don’t know how much cruel act they r doing in the name of a custom.. I cant sit here and watch them continue their filthiest act’ Ragini explained. ‘ I can understand it but.. what if they come to know abt u and harm u” laksh asks concerned. ‘ I don’t care laksh’ ragini replied boldly. ‘u dont care.. BUT I CARE.. what if something happens to u.. . I can’t even imagine Ragini’ laksh bursts out. ‘Laksh .. nothing will happen to me… I promise u.. I’ll be safe’ Ragini replied with an assuring smile. Laksh was not convinced but nods his head and hugs her.

‘SOMALIA I’M COMING!!’ ragini says as she enters the airport.
‘ I know that its really dangerous. . And I understand u r very worried for me Laksh .. but to stop such things we have to take risk laksh. . I can’t allow one more innocent soul to undergo that .. I dont care even if I lose my life in this battle. . But I’ll surely bring a change” Ragini says to herself. ..

At night
A village in the forest of Somalia. ..
Ragini slowly tip toed in the forest and she reached the village . She hided herself in a bush and sees what the people are doing and takes few pics of the village in her camera. Suddenly she sees few people dragging a man who is heavily bleeding. ‘How dare u uhh? ??!’ Asks a man beating him. ‘ hey what he did why r u beating him’ asks a person passing by. ‘ he is a journalist .. and he is trying to let our secret out’ says the other man gritting his teeth. ‘ what…?? Kill him soon and throw him in the river then’ says the passer by and leaves. The other men take their knives and stab the person mercilessly until he dies. Ragini closes her eyes and holds her hand near her chest being scared. Suddenly someone closes Ragini mouth . Ragini gets much scared and tries to shout but only few mumbles comes out . ‘Shh.. ragini it’s me Laksh” says laksh from behind. Ragini turns back and sees Laksh ..she sighs and hugs him tightly and few tears come out. Laksh hugs her back. ‘Wait.!! What is he doing here..’ her mind snapped. She breakes the hug and starts firing him with questions.. ‘laksh what r u doing here..?? How did u come here.?? R u following me.???’
‘Ragini relax.. chill.!!.. I understood that my jaan will not take care of herself. . So I came to do that’ he replies pulling her closer. ‘ achha really?’ Ragini asks putting her arms around him. Laksh smiles and pecks her lips .
‘Ragini I heard someone talking that they r going to perform that ritual to a girl tomorrow midnight. ..’ laksh says. ‘What. . ??’ Ragini asks shocked . ‘Yeah.. !’ Laksh confirms.

‘Then we must stay here Laksh.. but where we will take shelter till tomorrow night … we cant enter the village.. if they come to know abt us then the consequences will be really worse..’ says ragini worried. ‘Relax I have planned well’ says laksh and starts walking.

After an hour
‘ laksh where r u taking me” asks Ragini being tired. ” Ragini I saw a tree house whilst coming .. it’s the safe place for us.. c’mon now.. only few more minutes..” says Laksh encouraging her. ” Nahh… I’m literally tired..” says Ragini holding her knees. Laksh sighs and lifts her up in bridal style and begins to walk. “Aww that’s so sweet of u..lucky” Ragini says pulling his cheek. ” stop that ” says Laksh with fake anger. ” Attitude Haan..?? Let me see what u will do after marriage ..hubby..” Ragini says. Laksh smiles at her cuteness.
” Wow Laksh this place is so amazing ” says Ragini examining the place. ” I know.. let’s sleep now… I’m very tired ” says Laksh stretching. They both like in the floor which is covered by hay. ” Laksh what will do if something happens to me” says Ragini staring the ceiling. ” Never dare to speak like that here after ” Laksh says and pulls her into a hug. Ragini smile and kiss his chest.
And both drift into sleep.

Next day at midnight.
” Laksh is the cameras ready ??” Asks Ragini . Laksh shows his thumbs up. At that time a young lady in her late twenties come there with a small girl of meagre age 6-8 . The lady lies in a rock and make her daughter lie on her facing the sky. She puts her leg on that girl’s leg and stretches making that girl’s leg wide open. ” Mumma what r u doing” asks the little girl innocently. ” Dr. .. everything will end soon… Should be a good girl ok..” says her mother blind folding her. Then a old lady comes there. She looks at the girl and smile evilly. she removes the girls panties. She puts her hand in her bag to take something.

” Laksh I can’t let this happen… I’m going in…” Says Ragini unable to bear the injustice going in front of her eyes. ” Ragini… No.. everything will be spoiled ..” Laksh says trying to pacify her. ” I don’t care… I can’t let this happen ” Ragini says.
” Mumma what’s happening??” Asks the little girl. ” Shh… Everything will be ok dear.. just stay calm” says her mother. The old lady takes a piece of log and puts in the girl’s mouth .” Bite it” she says in a cold voice. The old lady then takes a rusted blood stained blade from her bag and proceeds to do her work. But Ragini comes and holds her hand. “Hey…who r u..?? What r u doing..??” Asks the old lady. ” Whoever I’m … That’s not the matter at present.. I’m here to stop u..” replies Ragini boldly…. ” Stop me?” The lady asks and tries to stab Ragini. But Laksh comes in time and the blade. And signals Ragini. Ragini nods her head and goes to the little girl and removes the lod and unties her blindfolds. ” Hey.. leave my daughter…who r u?” Questions the lady. ” Aren’t u ashamed of doing this to ur daughter…??” Ragini asks.
Ragini asks the little girl to run away. Due to the noises the villagers wake up and starts approaching them.
” Ragini we need to leave” laksh says grabbing the cameras. “But Laksh.. what about that girl?” Asks Ragini. ” Ragini we need to go..we have to spread the news …” Laksh says holding her hand. Ragini nods her head understanding the situation. They both run and escape.

After two days.
” Wow Ragini..and Laksh… U both did a fantabulous job… Everyone will be reading ..this tomorrow Ragini…the while world would be reading this.. ” says raghav looking at the article Ragini has prepared. RagLak hold each other hand and smile..

Next day.
Ragini is standing in her balcony . Laksh cone and snakes his hands around her waist. Ragini smiles and turns to him.”Wanna read ur article??” Laksh asks raising his eyebrows. “It came..?? ” Ragini asks excited. Laksh nods her head. ” Come let’s go.” Saying she tries to go. But he didn’t let her go. Ragini raises her eyebrows asking what. ” Give me something in return..” Laksh says smiling. Ragini understands what he meant and pecks his lips.
Ragini sits with the article in her hand and Laksh sits beside her with a recorder to record her speech. Ragini clears her throat and beging to read .

“THE WORLD IS NOT JUST CUPCAKES AND RAINBOWS. THIS WORLD IS ALSO CRUEL AND BREATHTAKING. THIS WORLD IS NOT JUST SURREAL BUT IT IS ALSO A NIGHTMARE WHICH SENDS COLD SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE, WHICH MAKES OUR NERVE TWITCH. MANY KNOW ABOUT “WARRIES DIERE” . BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW ABOUT HER LIFE STORY. LETS ME TALK ABOUT THIS LATER.
USUALLY WHAT IS OUR TAKE ON “RAPE” . IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY TO A GIRL. SOMETHING WHICH IS DONE WANTEDLY BY SOME INHUMAN BEASTS. AND IN SOME RAPE CASES, THE GIRL’S PRIVATE PARTS ARE MUTILATED. HOW BRUTAL IS THAT RIGHT?? BUT JUST IMAGINE IF A GIRL OF MEAGRE AGE OF 6-8 UNDERGOES IT IN THE NAME OF SOME CUSTOM.?? WE CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE IT .
BUT ACTUALLY THIS IS HAPPENING IN SOME PARTS OF AFRICA ESPECIALLY SOMALIA AND IN SOME PARTS OF ASIA TOO. THEY CONSIDER THIS TO BE THEIR UTMOST PRESTIGIOUS CUSTOM.
ACCORDING TO THIS SO CALLED PRESTIGIOUS CUSTOM. THE GIRLS ARE GIVEN A LOT OF FOOD IN THE DAY TIME SO THAT THEY CAN HUNT THEM DOWN AT THE MIDNIGHT. AT MIDNIGHT THE GIRL IS TAKEN BY HER SO CALLED BELOVED MOTHER. AND SHE IS MADE TO LIE ON HER MOTHER WHO IS LYING IN A ROCK FACING THE SKY. HER MOTHER WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND THE GIRL’S LEG AND STRETCHES IT WIDE OPEN. AN OLD LADY OF THAT VILLAGE WILL COME THERE. SHE KEEPS A PIECE OF LOG IN THE GIRL’S MOUTH AND ASKS HER TO BITE IT TO AVOID THE SCREAM. THEN SHE TAKES HER RUSTED BLOOD STAINED RAZOR AND INSERTS IT INTO THE THE GIRL’S PRIVATE PART TO REMOVE AWAY THE CLITORIS AND ALSO SOME FLESH OF THE GIRL’S PRIVATE PART. AFTER THIS THE GIRL’S PRIVATE PART ARE STITCHED USING THORNS AND A WHITE THREAD , LEAVING A MINUTE HOLE OF DIAMETER OF SIZE OF A MATCHSTICK TO PASS URINE AND AFTER PUBERTY FOR THE MENSTRUAL BLOOD TO COME OUT. THEY THINK THAT BY DOING THIS THE GIRLS REMAIN PURE. THEIR VIRGINITY IS SAVED. AFTER MARRIAGE THESE STITCHES ARE REMOVED BY THEIR HUSBAND TO QUENCH HIS THIRST.
HOW CRUEL IS THIS..?? SOMETIME THE GIRLS EVEN DIE DUE TO HEAVY BLEEDING. THEY ARE LITERALLY BUTCHERED.!! ISN’T IT A MOST FILTHIEST ACT??.
I MENTIONED ABOUT WARRIES DIERE IN THE BEGINNING. THE REASON FOR IT IS THAT SHE HAS UNDERGONE THIS STUPID CUSTOM WHEN SHE WAS 6 . AND AT THE AGE OF 13, HER FATHER URGED HER TO MARRY A 75 YEAR OLD MAN BECAUSE THE OLD MAN PROMISED TO GIVE 5 CAMELS TO HER FATHER. SHE DIDN’T WANTED TO GET INTO THAT SH*T RELATIONSHIP AND THUS SHE ELOPED. AFTER SHE FACED A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND NOW SHE IS A CELEBRITY. AND IT IS BECAUSE OF HER INITIATIVE ONLY FEBRUARY 7th IS DECLARED AS “FEMALE PRIVATE PART MUTILATION AGAINST DAY” .
IF YOU LOOK INTO THE ORIGIN OF MAN . FIRST WE WERE APES . THEN WE WERE CANNIBALS, EATING THE FLESH OF OUR OWN SPECIES. THEN LATER WE BECAME CIVILIZED AND CULTURED. BUT I DOUBT, THAT WE ARE ONCE AGAIN BECOMING CANNIBALS. THOUGH WE ARE NOT EATING OUR OWN SPECIES FLESH. BUT OUR ACTS SHOW THAT WE ARE NO LESS THAN CANNIBAL.
LOOKING AT THIS I FEEL, SOMETHING HAS TO DONE SO THAT THESE NARROW MINDED CROOKED PEOPLE CHANGE THEIR THOUGHTS FOR BETTER. BUT WHAT IS “THAT THING” THAT HAS TO BE CHANGED IS YET TO DISCOVER.”

” How is it Laksh” asks Ragini smiling brightly. Laksh hugs her saying “just like u… Amazing..” Ragini breaks the hug “Laksh will the change come” she asks nervously. Laksh pecks her forehead ” it will surely..!!” Says Laksh assuring her.
Both smile.

The whole world is seen reading her article. Tv , radios .. everywhere people are discussing her article.Her article is getting viral in all social medias. At UNO… all are seen discussing about this matter. “Let us organize a special team for this and let us abolish this cruel act” declares the head speaker. All agree.

Somewhere in a village in Somalia..
A small girl is seen reading the article. “Dear.. eat well today.. at night we are going to attend a very special ritual” says her mother. ” Mumma I know what u r up to… But don’t dare to do anything to me…” Says the little girl and leaves.
