Strange Dream
It started with that strange
dream. At first she thought that it was just a normal and stupid dream. But
then all things started to change in worst way. That day when she woke up ,she
was little bit upset. But she saw alarm clock, Betty was sure that she was
getting late. Betty had a bad dream. It was very normal. Betty was trying hard
to act normal. She wasn't able to act normal. She was so involved in her
thoughts that she just could not able to cook anything properly. She was trying
so hard to concentrate. But she just could not. Then she started making
breakfast. She carefully warmed milk just enough to fulfill little Sam’s wish.
Then she added two spoon sugar and chocolate powder. By then Richard was awake
he started preparing the sandwiches. This was rule of their house. Every morning
Richard used to prepare sandwich and preparing of milk was Betty’s duty.
Richard never interferes in Betty’s cooking. But today he just could not keep
quiet. Betty was very late. She didn't have made anything ready so she was
literally dumping with Richard in every second. Richard was very upset about it
all. Betty had two times stepped on his leg. Richard “Tomorrow onwards I will
wake up and do my sandwiches. You can come later.” “No I have selected my time
and I am not going to change it further.” Richard wanted to argue further. But
after seeing Betty’s face he decided to keep quiet. Betty seemed very upset
about everything.Richard just couldn't guess what was wrong with her yesterday she was perfect and today.She didn't even able to make milk.She had to be ill.Finally Richard asked"Honey are you all right?I hope you are not having some fever etc." "Who told you this?""No need of anyone to tell me.Your face is telling everything.What's wrong with my face?"Until now she had made milk ready for kids so she ran towards to bathroom to check her face in mirror.
When she went inside the bathroom,she started looking at her face.There was strange expression on her face.She was looking so much older as if she slept for many years.Betty really didn't like that look.She thought that Richard might be right.She was already suffering from viral and by evening she might have fever.It was her worst dream.She always hated to be sick.She just didn't want to be sick.Then she heard a scream from kitchen.She ran into kitchen.She saw her son Rocky had thrown out his milk.She was shocked.Rocky was good boy.He never acted like this so Rocky must had fever.Then Rocky screamed on his younger sister and told her not drink that milk.His younger sister Rosy was already scared.She was holding her glass of milk in her chubby hands and crying as well as shivering same it.Rosy always worshiped her brother.He was her guide,protector and teacher.His reaction created worst effect on her.She started thinking something like poison in that milk and she started crying loudly.Richard"Why are you acting like this?You are scaring your younger sister.""Papa Mom had put salt in our milk. Rosy had vomited her sandwich if she had drank her milk."Rosy"Rocky is right Papa.I can't drink a salted milk.I don't like it."Now Richard was frustrated after hearing his daughter's innocent comment.Richard looked at Betty with anger.Then when he saw that there was all ready tears in Betty's eyes.He thought that anyone could make a big mistake once in a while. Richard"No sweet heart Mom gave it by mistake."Rocky"But it was a big mistake.""Now that's enough.Both of you eat your sandwich."By then Betty already ran away in her room.She just didn't understand what is wrong with her.She wanted to cry.But she couldn't suddenly even crying also became big task for her.She just sat there.Richard came in her room.
Richard was accepting Betty to be crying.But when he went in her room.She was just sitting there like a statue.Richard didn't understand her attitude.But he decided to keep quiet.Richard"Don't worry.Such a mistakes happen sometimes.Kids are overreacting but we have to understand them.After all we are elder."Even after hearing this when Betty didn't reacted.Richard found it strange so he put hand on her shoulder.Betty felt it all.But she didn't able to turn.She was just too tired to turn. She just kept watching at wall.Her neck felt as if it was stuck in iron.It was too much for her to move neck.She just kept sitting like a statue.Richard didn't like her behaviour.She could at least looked at him.Richard wanted to see her face.But she didn't turn.Finally he walked to other side to see her face.Richard"What's wrong with you?Are you planning to take leave today?"She didn't even answer his question.Richard was very frustrated.He wanted to talk to her and she was completely ignoring him.In fact there was strange vacant look in her eyes.As if she was staring at something which Richard didn't able to see.Then suddenly after sometime she came her senses and she said"I must get ready for my office.Don't worry.I will make milk again.In few minutes she was once again in kitchen.Richard was shocked with sudden change of her moods.He wanted to comment but then he looked at watch.He was already getting late so he ran to get ready for his office.
After some time Betty once again started feeling tired.Actually she never stopped feeling tired.She just pretended before Richard that she was all right.Now for her moving a step was also effort.But she had to go in office.She had one project to finish.Normally she could complete it in a day.But now she didn't feel that confidence.But as soon as she entered in office her colleagues were so excited.They all thought that she would easily complete that project.After all she was project head for seven years and she never missed her date.Suddenly after looking at her colleagues her confidence returned.She started moving fast and she went near those files.She started to concentrate on them.But her brain was not cooperating.She just couldn't get any idea. If only she could found a idea.Then suddenly her friend Sarika came near her.Sarika"Hey!What's wrong with you?You are box of ideas.Suddenly it seems as if all got missing."Betty suddenly thought about that dream.Then she knew that the dream was cause of problem.One bad dream.Betty"Actually I had one bad dream yesterday which is cause of this trouble.""Oh!So you couldn't able to sleep because of it.""No.I slept soundly.But when I woke up this morning,I started feeling so tried that I just didn't want to wake up."Then Betty told Sarika about her whole experience in morning.Sarika"This is very strange.Any way sometimes dreams creates that kind of effects on persons.I will give an idea.You can develop it as per your wish."Betty was so happy that she finally got one idea.Now she could easily work on it.But when she began to hear that idea.She started feeling tired and sleepy.She just couldn't grasp it.Finally Sarika asked her"What's wrong with you?Can't you concentrate on ready made idea?Are you sick or something?""No I am fine.I just feeling tired."After giving her an idea Sarika went back to her chair.Now all staff was waiting for results.But Betty just could not control her sleep.Finally when her Boss came Betty's project was still on it's first sentence.It was a shock to every one.They never expected such failure from Betty.Her Boss was very angry with her because of her negligence company was about suffer losses in terms of lakhs.But Sarika came ahead and saved the day.But Boss suggested Betty to take unpaid leave for some days.Betty willingly took it.She was feeling so tired inside her heart.She wanted to quit her Boss so when she returned home.She already decided to quit her job.
When she reached home,she was too tired to do any cooking.Instead of cooking she decided to order food so she ordered food and went to sleep.Whole time she was just sleeping on bed and looking at ceiling.She just didn't understand why did she want to sleep like that. Then she began to think all things which she never wished to think about.All those bad things like one day world was to end and here she was without any any work.Just a normal employee and just one wife;just mother of two children.Suddenly that just began to seem more important to her that anything else.She began to think that she was in worst situation and that situation never going to improve.She began to hate herself.When she felt that children had came home after playing.They entered in the kitchen.She noticed them.Normally she used to hug her kids whenever she returned from office.She used to miss them so when Rocky and Rosy noticed Betty's purse.They started searching for her excitedly.But when they noticed that she was sleeping.They went away.Betty felt that her children were watching her.But she couldn't move.Then she heard doorbell.She knew food had came as per her order.But still she felt that she was too tired to take that order.Then Rocky came inside room with Rosy in tow.Rocky"Mom that man was asking for money."Betty didn't want to turn.But finally she turned and pointed just her finger towards purse.Now she started feeling that talking was also a effort.Then Rocky opened her purse.Betty could clearly see that Rocky was scared still she didn't want to answer.She just kept staring and sleeping.Finally Rocky took the money from her purse and made all payments.
When Richard came home,both the kids were crying.Rocky told him about his Mom's condition.Rocky was thinking that Betty was going to die.Richard got very confused after hearing this.Richard literally ran inside their bedroom.Betty was looking at ceiling with same vacant look.Richard went near her slowly and touched her head.She didn't have fever.In fact she seemed perfect physically.Then he thought that she might get fever by next day so he went outside.He arranged everything for kids and told them not disturb her.But Richard was confused this time.Betty was sick still she didn't seem sick physically.He didn't know what he supposed to do.He decided to wait till next day.When next day Betty woke up,she was feeling worst than yesterday.She just told Richard that she was no longer going on job and once again slept.Richard wanted to talk to her.But she didn't seem willing.Anyway Richard was never interested in her job.It was for her pleasure.She wanted quit it.It was okay with him.But he didn't like her strange way of quitting it. Richard had to talk with her.Richard"Betty something happened in office?"Finally she turned towards him.Betty"Actually I am too tired.""But why?"He once again.He checked her temperature.She didn't got fever."Actually it is because of that strange dream.""What kind of dream?""I don't remember it.But I started feeling tired After having it."Richard didn't understand what did she talking about.But he decided let her rest for some days."Okay take rest today."But after that day situation turned worst everyday.She didn't seem to ready to come out of their room.Everyday she just slept in her room.At first they ordered food from outside.Slowly Richard started cooking.It was too much work for him.He even tried to argue with her about it.But there was no use in talking to her.Finally she started losing interest in her food also.She always said the same thing.It was that strange dream which was making her sad.Finally they had to go to doctor who recommented a psychiatrist.When they went to that Doctor.He told them that she was Unipolar depression.When Richard asked about cause.He gave big list of them and there were many medical terms in it which went about his head."But that dream?" Doctor"That was just part of her imagination.It was not reason of her problem.Many patients blame many things for their problem.They just find reason to satisfy their heart."But he just understood it was his bad luck.Then he asked about cure.Doctor gave them medicines and a hope that she would be alright.But inside his heart Richard knew that it would take long time.Worst part was before she would be cured.It was possible that many member of family would start having problem.But when Richard came home and talked to his children.He felt that he was raising them right way. They both gave him support that they would help him and they taught Richard to smile in sorrows that day.It was his first lesson that he learned from his kids.
