Shortened Third-Person Narration Script_ Assault and Defiance
One morning, alone by the river, Suresh grabbed her, his hands roaming with an evil
glint. Panicked, she slapped him and ran, stones pelting her back. “Why me?” she
cried to her mother, Moola. “It’s your situation,” Moola sighed, unable to shield
her. She went to the Panchayat, pleading, “If he wants her, let him marry her.
Otherwise, stop him!” The Sarpanch expelled her, roaring, “Get rid of that girl!
She dishonors us!”
That night, thunder broke as danger struck at home. Past midnight, Phoolan and
Moola lay on hay in the storeroom. A shiver woke her; shadows moved. A hand clamped
her mouth. “Stay, Moola, and watch!” Suresh sneered, rifle in hand, leading a gang.
They pinned Phoolan down, slapping Moola, ignoring her father’s pleas: “Spare her!
We’ll leave tomorrow!” Two men raped her, grunting, as her spirit flickered. “See
what happens if you defy me,” Suresh spat, vanishing over the wall.
Phoolan collapsed into Moola’s arms, sobbing, “Amma, throw me in the well!” Bhuri
and her brother wept, too young to grasp the horror. Moola shook her head. “Why did
I birth you? I’m ashamed!” Her father bolted the door, urging silence. Unlike Putti
Lal’s private abuse, this public violation ruined her. Choking on pain, Phoolan
wailed, “I want them punished! I’ll kill them!”
Sleepless, rage consumed her. She vowed revenge, yearning for someone to shame
their wives as she’d been shamed. The villagers’ whispers grew louder, her
ostracism complete, but her resolve hardened. She’d find a way to make them pay.
