^^Shot 4: The Northern Star^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present. —Francis Bacon.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A girl is chatting with her friends in a restaurant. After their lunch, all were headed back to their school but the girl felt dizzy as she is very behind to her gang no one noticed her absence. When she’s about to collapse on the floor someone grabbed her and took her to some other place in a black van. The girl is none other than Monica, NeSam’s daughter.
Monica was kidnapped; Vincent’s filed a case; investigation is going on but no one called Vincent’s for any ransom. This issue is causing a panic among all the Vincent’s and Singhania’s. Someone has to call them but why it isn’t anyone called them.
Investigation started with the restaurant from where Monica was kidnapped. The car in which Monica was taken had a false registration. Next Dia’s lecturer who tried to attack her with an acid bottle because she rejected his proposal was investigated. This incident took place in the morning hours before kidnap incident. But taking his alibi into account he was released in Monica’s case but not in Dia’s matter. He is a psycho who is after rich girls for money and if they reject him he tries to burn them with acid. He is behind bars for the same reason and he will be prosecuted very soon.
Vincent family is not in their proper mindset. Business is running on auto pilot but their daughter is nowhere to be found. Karthik, Dia and Shravan were busy in their own world where they were still playing with their sister. Karthik is remembering the memories of how he taught swimming to both his sisters; how Monica being naughty girl skipped every class of his; how he caught her and bends her ears to make her learn swimming. Dia is remembering all her pranks in which Monica was her co partner; how they made fun of their brothers and how they pulled the legs of their elder brother about love affairs. Shravan is remembering how Monica and he fought over chocolate fudge cake last piece and she being elder sister gave her piece of cake to him.
Case is not moving forward in any direction, it’s like all the ways were closed and they all stood in dark. Then came a ray of hope in the form of video which has Monica being raped brutally by a man of 50 years and that was uploaded on YouTube. Children brought that video to their parents, Sam is not in a position to control herself and Radhika too is inconsolable. But Rahul being computer freak and Systems Engineer tracked down the IP address of the computer from which the video was uploaded. This operation was done with police permission. After getting the IP address and location police made their way to the desired location only to get back with empty hands. The video was uploaded from a cyber cafe that doesn’t have any CCTV camera or a register to maintain the customers list. Even if they have register that couldn’t have helped them because the culprits would have written a fake name. The cafe is in a remote area where there cannot be a facility for CCTV’s. Every path is leading them to a dead end. The video was taken down from internet.
Even after this entire scenario police didn’t stop their investigation. They enquired every possible human trafficking gang they got their hands on but all in vain. One day after a year of this case, Monica was left in front of Neil’s mansion. Samaira who saw a van leaving a girl outside their mansion from her room window ran outside only to find Monica like a lifeless soul with bruises all over her body. She informed all the other people about this matter and in no time all were in Neil’s place. Doctor checked Monica and told Vincent’s that she was raped brutally for N number of times and after getting consciousness she may behave weird due to the torture she had endured from a year. As doctor said Monica did behave weird, she didn’t talk to anybody; she flinched when her father or Arjun or Rahul or even her brothers touched her. She was okay only with the ladies touch. She didn’t come out of her room for the whole day and wept slowly so that no one can hear her cries. She understood that she cannot take any pitiful looks directed to her or her family and so tried to commit suicide. Same time Samaira reached her room to give her some snacks but to her horror, she found her daughter with a wrist cut and a knife in other hand. She took her to a hospital and was relieved to find her alive as the cut is not so deep. Radhika who reached there was unable to control herself and slapped Monica hard. Sam knew what Radhika must have gone through while slapping Monica; even she was not in a position to explain anything to her daughter. So she left everything to Radhika…
What did you think Monica? If you die, we all will be happy and lead a happy life? No dammit!! We can’t. We all were in a zombie state when you are not in our family and now when you are here alive, how do you think we can leave you?’
Badi mom!! You are unable to understand. I’m a scarred person now. No one will respect me because I’m like a used tissue. I cannot bring down the respect of Vincent’s.’
And you think your death will solve the matters baby.’ Asked Sam.
Yes mom… Kam se kam you all will be happy after some years if I’m not in front of you ALIVE.’ Said Monica with silent tears in her eyes.
This will not end here; you will come with me to a place tomorrow. Mini aunty will join us too. You need to learn your lessons dear. You should live to make those people suffer who made your life a living hell.’ Said Radhika.
Samaira knew the place Radhika was talking about. It is Starke—NGO founded by Priya Kapoor and Radhika.
Next day Radhika along with Rivannah took Monica to Starke, even though Monica knew every inch of Starke from before, this trip is very new to her like she’s is reading her entire life in a different way.
Monica!! See the people around you; everyone has some or other problem. Some were acid attack survivors, some were rescued from human trafficking gangs and some don’t even know their name. They were leading their lives for a purpose. Do you know what that purpose is? (Monica nodded her head in negative) Life is that purpose. If you are given this life that means it has a purpose. You know the challenges we faced in our lives, I know your problem is bigger when compared to ours but please beta… For our sake, for your family you have to live this life.’ Said Radhika.
Baby!! I know saying is easy but living through that is difficult but you need to be strong to face the demons life has thrown to you. And you have to fight for justice where the culprits get their punishment for what they had done to you. Please don’t panic. We all are with you baby. Please don’t do this again. Your kidnap got all of us crippled but your death may lead to our deaths too.’ Said Rivannah with tears brimming in her eyes.
Monica may not come out depression that easily but now she knows her death may lead to deaths of all those people who love her so much. She should live for them and she will live to make her culprits pay for their deeds.
Monica told all the incidents from her kidnap to her arrival to Vincent’s house in front of police. It took a great deal of effort for her to remember all those she has gone through. After getting kidnapped, she was taken to a third grade hotel where a man used her body to his heart’s content. After that she was taken to an elite hotel where she spent the previous year. There were bids to the girls every now and then, the man who bid higher amount will get the girl and Monica was considered as one of the valuable assets. She was kept in a dark room till the bid on her was over and then handover her to the man. She has been through a living hell, she once tried to kill a man with all the force she has got but that backfired. After one year she was thrown in front of Vincent bungalow.
Police didn’t understand one thing in this matter. If this is a case of human trafficking the girl would never have seen Sun again but this girl was taken in a well planned manner and left in a well planned manner too. This appears to be a revenge saga but who can it be? Police investigated every single person who had connection with Vincent’s in and outside of India, but found nothing. It is appearing like the culprit vanished in thin air and living a lavish life somewhere.
Crime never pays. One day when Monica was going to some place, she got to see a man who used her body every single time that is who bid huge amount of money on her, who cursed her to be a sl*t. All those things came back to her again. This time she is not weak, so she told her driver to follow the man…
But beta!! Are you sure we have to follow him? Because Sahab and Saheba gave your responsibility to me, I don’t care whatever happens to me but what happens to you really matters.’ Said the driver Ramu kaka.
Ramu kaka!! I’m 110% sure that he is the man. Please follow him so that we can find out his hide out. In the meanwhile I’m going to inform papa and bade papa.’
Monica informed all this matter to Neil and Arjun. They sprung to action and called the police. Neil and Arjun along with police reached the man’s hideout following Monica’s direction. Police arrested the man and the man turned out to be a well known businessman of Kolkata.
So now are you going to tell us the master mind of this human trafficking gang?’ asked a policeman to Mr. Sharma, businessman.
I don’t know what you are talking about officer, I came here for a business purpose and you people arrested me just like that and now started asking questions in a puzzle.’
Okay you may remember everything after seeing a person.’ said the officer and went to fetch Monica.
When Mr. Sharma saw Monica again, his eyes sparkled with lust.
Oh! This girl!! She was my personal pr*stitute from a year. But how come they left her, as far as I know they doesn’t leave anybody who were taken to their place…’ Mr. Sharma asked.
Who are those people and whose gang is this?’
Why will I tell you? To ruin my respect with my own hands. (smirks) Do you think I’m a fool officer? You will never know about those people and you cannot arrest me based on this girl’s statement. She is a sl*t and will remain forever.’
These words blew off patience in every person over there, Radhika reached the man grabbed him and trashed him black and blue. She was held back by Arjun, Neil and Sam.
Mr. Sharma was dazed to see all the Vincent’s over there. He doesn’t understand anything. How come this girl related to Vincent’s—No idea.
Ok Mr. Sharma. Don’t give stress to your pea sized brain now. The girl you were calling names is none other than our daughter and now you will open your mouth or else your family will be on road this very moment. Your respect will be ruined no matter what because we can go to any extent to get you behind bars. So think wisely and blurt the truth. If you give us the truth, I’ll make sure your family will be taken care of every matter or else…’ said Arjun with a fury that made Mr. Sharma flinch.
Mr. Sharma told the truth about how elite events will be conducted and girls were on a bid in the hotels. But for some reason that he didn’t understand Monica was always given a dark room when the bid is going on. When Mr. Sharma told the name of the master mind of human trafficking gang everyone eyes and mouths were opened wide in utter shock.
The owner didn’t leave any trails behind, so police have to hatch a master plan to catch him. As per Mr. Sharma’s statement the people who were registered are not checked at the entrance, so they handed over a pen camera to Mr. Sharma and told him to record every scene possible as the next event is in the coming week. Mr. Sharma agreed to do the same and he is taken in to custody.
The day of event arrived and Mr. Sharma collected all the proofs of the owner as per the plan and the owner with all his gang was arrested. [Head of that gang always visit to these events]
Master mind of this entire thing is none other than Danny Varma, younger brother of Dr. Srikanth Varma. Dr. Srikanth Varma is the same doctor who was arrested due to the footage collected by Rivannah on that fateful day. Danny is into illegal business of his brother from a very young age but he kept his paths clean every single time. This time he wanted revenge, he wanted whole Vincent and Singhania family to suffer for sending his brother behind bars. He did his research on both Vincent and Singhania family, what he got to see made his blood boil. All the children are strong in every sense, but he can break them by making one of their daughters a sl*t. Dia is not an easy catch because of the security outside her college. Monica isn’t an easy catch either but she has a habit to visit restaurants with her friends. He took this as cue and kidnapped her by bribing the waiter and mixing sleeping powder in her food. As per his plan he made her a prized possession to all the wealthy people. He thought to teach them all a good lesson by releasing her after 6 months, but the girl is feisty and tried to kill one of his customer and so she had to endure another 6 months of that pain.
Both Danny and Mr. Sharma were arrested and their case will be on trails very soon.
Rivannah was devastated to listen to the news that her one evidence has thrown Monica in to a living hell. Everyone tried to make her understand that it is not her fault but she is nowhere consolable. Monica being the strong girl she is now consoled Rivannah. All were happy to see the broken yet strong girl consoling another person.
And THAT’S HOW SHE HAPPENED.

*This is a love story of siblings/cousins, father-daughter and mother-daughter. {If I’m wrong in any way please correct me.}
*The North Star, often coined as the Pole Star, is a highly visible star to the naked eye, and furthermore is deemed often as being aligned with the Earth’s axis of rotation. The North Star’s other name the Pole Star is given due to the geographic location, being located above the north pole, hence North Star. In the early 20th century, researchers found that the Northern Star was actually a member of the Cepheid variables pulsating class. This meant that the star would pulse in its brightness going from a super bright light to a less bright light, however, the Northern Star has very small pulses so they are less visible to the naked eye. In the early 1990s, scientists noticed that the Northern Star was beginning to get darker and lose a bit of its brightness. Yet, by 2000, the star was on the rise and the brightness was returning brighter than ever. The scientists set out then to study the brightness of the Northern Star and have continued to this day. —Monica is Northern star here. Some may have thought she would lose her brightness and perish forever but she being phoenix rose from the ashes to make her culprits pay for their sins.
*This story has got inspiration from many stories. I will list a few— Crime shows I watch; Evie Harper’s “You loved me” series; cases I’ve heard from my father about human trafficking.
*I thought the quote I’ve used at the starting of this shot will be apt to the life of Monica. So written it there. What do you people think?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suggestions about the topics chosen in this shot were given by:
*Human trafficking —Nupur.
*Acid attack— Brin
*Obsessive love— Sheetal, Hima, Jessie.
*Cyber crime— Dipika.
—*Obsessive love is the major cause of any attack on girls either it may be acid attack or murder. So I just wrapped these two issues under acid attack on Dia. Unfortunately I was unable to explain the pain of acid attack victims as she was rescued by her classmates from the psycho lecturer.

I cried buckets while writing this shot; proof reading is another pain altogether. What are your opinions on this shot? Should I see any chappals and broom sticks coming in my way? I didn’t come out my rabbit hole yet, so keep your reviews coming in.
Love you all… Stay blessed and have a nice day…
