That was Isha's birthday.Som was very happy for her.After all his daughter was going in college next year.Their exams were over so all her classmates were happy and Isha's birthday was first function after their exams so party was really rocking.The music was so loud that Som was afraid that neighbor would complaint so Som went to radio and turned it little bit down.That moment a girl entered in room.Her shoes were making so noise on floor that Som's attention was attracted.She was wearing too much make-up.Som was sure that he had saw her somewhere but just didn't remember exactly where.She was dressed like some kind of celebrity.Her dress was beautiful.But a person who knew little bit about clothes could tell by looking it.It was a cheap copy of designer dress.Som smiled but didn't say anything because many children act like that to show off.After all they were just kids.But he could not tell that girl entered in his house with shoes so he went near her.Som"Excuse me.""Yes.""You can't enter with shoe."After hearing this the smile on that girl's face vanished."I was not entering with shoe.I was just going to untie them.There was no need to tell me like this."After listening to her outburst Som was embarrassed.Som immediately went back to his sit.But his attention kept stuck to that girl.She was really arrogant girl.He didn't like Isha had such a friend.He decided to talk to his daughter.Then he saw Isha was hugging her.Isha was giving her special sweet smile.Som just didn't know if that was real or artificial.Isha many times gave this smile to hide her hatred.After exchanging greeting they began discussing other matters.Isha"Ruby how was your papers?"Ruby just smiled and started playing with her hairs.Ruby"Okay.But I think that paper setter was so stupid.No one sets paper like this now a days.That third A question in Maths I was so easy.Our teacher was teaching us that one from first day."Isha"Ya.That one was easy.We are so lucky to have it in our paper.""What?I don't about you.But I love something challenging.Not easy paper like that.""So you like hard paper of chemistry?""That one?Come on Isha it was so hard.No one liked that hard paper.They just don't know how to set a paper.They shall have to ask me before setting the paper."Isha thought that it was a joke so she started laughing.But when she looked in Ruby's eyes.She clearly saw that it was not a joke so Isha suddenly stopped laughing.Then Ruby went a head acting as if some queen.Som was shocked.He never saw a girl with such a super ego.Ruby was too much.Then Ruby went to Som's wife and started taking juice.She suddenly heard her phone and turned away her back.Som's wife Sonali thought that Ruby was not interested in juice so she went away with tray.When Ruby turned to take her juice.Sonali already started serving other guests.Ruby got very angry when she saw this.Ruby screamed"This is too much.Hey maid come here.Don't you know how to serve guests.Who kept her here?Disgusting illiterate woman."Sonali was shocked to here this.All the guests of party were looking at Ruby in strange way.Many of them knew that Sonali was Isha's mom not maid.They all started looking angrily at Ruby.Soma was about to say something.When Isha screamed loudly"How dare you talk to my mom like this.Don't you know how to respect elders.Especially host of party."Then Ruby started laugh meanly.Ruby"Normally host don't serve in their own party.They got maid for it."Isha's eyes now welled with tears now.Som just hated that girl.She made his daughter cry on her birthday.He hoped that she would burn in hell.Sonali was also upset.She just didn't know how to handle the situation so she told to Isha."Just take it easy sweetheart.""Mom she is insulting you and you are telling me to take it easy."Isha was literally screamed on her mother.Ruby was smiling.She was enjoying this fight because instead of screaming on her.Isha was screaming on her own mother.She was insulting her mother with her own mouth.Ruby was laughing.She had just loved it and that was clearly written on her face.But Isha had got carried away by her emotions.Som was watching all this drama.But he couldn't go to Ruby now.He had to stop Isha.Ruby went to eat her food.She didn't even feel any shame in acting like this.Finally Isha ran in her room.Sonali ran after her.All party was spoiled.All other friends stopped enjoying.But that didn't effect her.Then finally Som went inside to talk to Isha and Sonali.He was trying to counsel between them.When he heard screaming from outside.Som ran outside with his daughter and wife.There was an argument and Ruby was screaming on other guests.It seemed that some of Isha's friend couldn't take insult of Sonali lightly.In their eyes Isha's mother was just like their eyes Isha's mother was just like their mother and they were not ready to tolerate it so they started arguing.But Ruby was screaming on them.Isha had to interfere.Isha"Ruby it will be better if you leave this party now.""My God I never ask for invitation.You are the one who give me the invitation.""I know I made a big mistake.Will you be kind enough to forgive my mistake and go?"After hearing Isha's statement Ruby looked and her angrily.Then she felt the party.All the party mood was spoiled.No one was in mood to enjoy.Som was not going to let it happen.Som"Come on kids.Let's enjoy why do we care for that spoiled girl of rich family?"Sonali"Ya.I don't think I care what she said about me.I just want you to enjoy and I am so happy that you all fight for me.But now I want you all enjoy.We will not let her spoil our day and fulfill her wish."Isha"Mom is right.Let's enjoy."So party once again started in full swing and finally Som's fear turned true.Neighbour came and they had to turn off the music.
Som could not able to forget that snobbish girl who had insulted his wife.Somewhere in his heart he wanted to take revenge so he asked Isha about her next day.Isha"Sorry Dad inviting her was biggest mistake.I never thought that she act in such way.She was famous for her arrogance.But I never thought she could insult mom and you like this.My friends told me that she also screamed on you when she entered and you told her to remove her shoes.Is it true?"Som"Come on.Now just forget it.I just want to ask you one question why did you invited her?If she was not your friend."Isha looked little ashamed.Sonali"Dad is asking you a question;why are you not answering him?"Isha "Actually my friend told me her father is owner of big mall and she was going to work with Amir Khan in a movie.But she rejected that offer because she didn't like the story."After saying this Isha started looking at ground.Som started laughing"And you believed this.Any newcomer will reject a film with such a big superstar is impossible.After getting little established any person may do such thing.But for newcomer it is impossible.""But Dad her father is owner of mall.""That don't make her superstar.""I thought such a friend will be good for our bakery shop.Now Som was surprised.His daughter was not interested in superstar or actress.She just wanted to help her Dad.Som sadly looked at his daughter.He clearly saw that those days when Isha used to think they were rich and her father was a big businessman were over.Isha wanted to increase their profit so she was trying to make friendship with mall owner's daughter even when she learned that Ruby was too rude.Som"Isha I wanted to make one thing clear.I don't need your help in my business."Isha"Sorry Dad.I just wanted to help.."Sonali"Dad is right.We have enough money to live comfortably.No need to make these type of efforts."Anger was clearly heard in Sonali's voice.Isha"Sorry Mom.Sorry Dad."So after that discussion was over.They decided that they would never make Ruby part of their life.
Next Som Went to bakery.He saw that all cakes and snacks were properly arranged.Now he aksi took some more place where tables and chairs were arranged so his shop had turned in to little cafe.He was sure Sonali and Isha would be on the top of the world after hearing this.But he wanted to make all settings properly.Then it was going to be big surprise for them.Som happily looked at that arrangement.Then he noticed two boys coming in the shop.That boy"Sir do you want waiter for your cafe?"Som was confused after this question.Of course he needed waiter after all he could not serve all customers.But he could not keep any unknown person as a waiter.After all it was quite risky.Then suddenly those boys started showing their I-cards.Boy"Sir,we have morning college after that we will work here.These are our references.We are good students.We belong to poor families.We really need money.Sir please."Som looked at cafe.It was a big area.Then Som asked regarding salary.Those boys were asking for reasonable amount.Then finally came references.Som knew many people on that paper.Som told them to come tomorrow.Then he entered in shop.His employee was watching all this.Raju was his old trustworthy employee.Raju"Sir so you are going hire waiters.""Just one or two.""Then may be you like to increase number of cooks.""Ya.We are planning to serve more type of snacks."Raju smiled happily.Raju"My daughter can cook nice pizza.Can you hire her?""But she is in just 10th standard.""But he age is 20 years.""What?She failed so many times!""She is not interested in studying.She wanted to become actress.Truth is that she is just pain in the neck.Always acted as if she is some kind of princess."Som smiled.Som knew Raju very well.Raju was too strict on his children.Som saw that how harshly Raju use to talk to his elder son.Many times Raju was about bit him.When Som interfered and stopped him.Som always thought his son was clever.Som encouraged him in his studies.Due to low confidence his son was suffering in studies.Som gave him confidence and slowly he started getting more marks.Finally he scored such good marks that now he was studying I.A.S.so in Raju's eyes.Som was best mentor.Som many times tried to tell him.Som had done nothing.It was just Raju's son's intelligence that he got so much marks.But even that boy gave all credit to Som and he started respecting Som as a god.Som hated it.But you couldn't change other people's attitude.Now Raju wanted Som to change his daughter's future.By sending her here he wanted to put her under Som's guidance.Som didn't like it.But Raju had worked very hard for him so Som just could not say 'no' to him.Som"Okay bring her."Som thought he had to train now a timid girl.
Next day Som received a shock when he saw Ruby was entering in his shop.At first he wanted to throw her out.But suddenly Raju came and screamed on her."Why are you wearing clothes like this?I told you to wear simple clothes.""Oh!Papa don't you know.I don't wear simple clothes.""I don't have tree to grow money.When will you understand value of money?..."After that Raju continued screaming on her before everyone.But Ruby was very relaxed as if it was a normal thing.Then finally she entered in the kitchen.Som should wanted to throw her out.But after seeing her in kitchen in those stylish clothes.Som started laughing.Ruby angrily looked at him.But before she could say anything Raju told her that Som was his boss.Suddenly Ruby's attitude was changed.She started giving him special respect.Som wanted to throw her out of cafe.But after eating her first pizza.Som changed his opinion.She was an excellent cook.From that day Som had to keep her.But as soon as he reached home.He told everything to his family.All started laughing.Isha"O God!!My stomach is going to pain due to laughing.Rajukaka owned a mall.I was trying to make friendship with this girl."They laughed.Then at end Isha promised them never to make such a friendships.
After that Ruby started coming every day with same type of fancy clothes.Then when those boys who acted as waiter called her and said"Ruby give 2 pizzas."She screamed on them."Don't talk to me like this.Order me with respect.Call me Rubina and say please give 2 pizzas."Boys looked at her in strange way.Som was also shocked by her behaviour.But no one had time to argue so they fulfilled her wishes.Then slowly they got adjust to her attitude.But no one really liked her.One day while taking pizza some ketchup fall on the boy.That boy also get angry.Their argument continued.Raju tried to stop her.But she didn't listen.Finally she left the cafe.As soon as Som entered in the cafe,that boy came to him with complaint.Som had to make many efforts to console him.Finally he gave free pizza to him and his friend.After all they were very hard working and honest boys.Then when those boys went back to work.He went to Raju whose face was already red with anger."Sorry Sir.I just don't know.Why did she acted this way?"Som was also confused.But one day a article caught his attention which told about Ruby's psychiatric problem.Until then Ruby was already thrown out of cafe.Isha was telling many strange and wild stories about Ruby.Som was concerned about Raju so he forced Raju to took Ruby to psychiatrist.Until then Raju was very panic regarding her so he willingly listened to Som.Then Som went to Raju's home with him.Som sat outside in the car.He clearly heard.There was a big fight between father and daughter.Som didn't go inside because he didn't want to be part of it.Finally Raju forcibly took Ruby to psychiatrist.Ruby was not at all cooperating at first.But slowly she started answering questions willingly.Then psychiatrist told them to wait outside and talked to her for sometime.Then finally he called them."Ruby is suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.It happened because of disturbance in parent-child relationship.Every child needs parents to provide reassurance and positive responses to accomplishments.Without these,the child becomes insecure.This insecurity is expressed,paradoxically,in an inflated sense of self importance.That can be understood as the individual's attempt to make up for what was missing earlier in life.In simple word since she was not appreciated by her father in childhood age.She compensated it by treating her self as actress or celebrity in young age."Som"That is strange.""Mind of human being is always complex and strange."Raju"Will you cure her?""Of course it is my duty to cure her.But it was not your duty to make her sick.It was your duty to care and love her as every father does."Som looked at Raju.There was tear in his eyes.He always wanted best for his children.But it was turned to be worst for both children.Raju said slowly"I am sorry."
The End
