Forgotten
It was such a fine day.Rita was looking out of window.But when they turned into area where their house was located suddenly sun vanished behind buildings.Rita didn't like it and she was sure no one could like such a congested atmosphere. She turned around and looked at her girls face.Both were observing the surrounding.The word disappointment wrote on their face.Rita looked at herself.Her clothes were as outdated as their flat.After death of her husband she never managed to give her children enough to fulfilled their need.Now due to her job requirement they also had to quite their old house.Rita really didn't like that idea.That house got plenty of memories of her husband.Rita knew that it was hard for everyone to leave that house. Trupti Mom we are going to stay here?This place is so closed.It seem as if no air is coming inside."Priti"Didi is right.I even can't see playground here.Mom we can't stay here.Please Mom try to understand.I don't want to stay in this jail."Rita"Now listen to me girls.There is no option available to us.You just can't afford."Before Priti could say something and complaint. Trupti stopped her. Trupti Mom is right.We can't afford so no complaints."Priti just didn't like that idea.But since no one was supporting her.She had to nod her head.Then they finally reached to that flat.When they entered in that lift.That lift started with sudden jerk. Trupti Mom what is this?I hope that it is not going to break."There was not even lift man in that lift.Rita felt so scared to push it's buttons.But there was no option.She had to do it so she pushed that button.Then they finally reached in their flat.Rita was so shocked to see that building.It was so unclean.How did they suppose to stay there?But she knew that they had to stay there.She looked at children.They both looked very upset.When they reached to door,she didn't want to open it.She was so scared that it would be worst and she didn't want to face it.Finally Priti screamed"Mom will you open our house?I want to go inside."She nodded and open the door.
Inside of the house was not better than outside.All colour was spoiled and there were lot of marks on walls.But best thing was that it was clean.Last owner must had clean it before going.She thanked her stars about it.Then she suddenly remembered that owner didn't do it.It was that middle man who forced her in this worst deal.When she agreed to it,she never guessed the crisis. But at least he had done the job of cleaning.Then they went in room.There was just one small bedroom and hall.Kitchen was also small. Priti Mom this house is small."Trupti"Mom she is right.Now we will adjust in it.But please search for little bit more comfortable house.Can you please?"Rita nodded.But her heart she knew that she never able to find anything better in her small budget.Once again she began to think about her husband.He was so luxurious regarding house.He was very generous about money also.But then she got confused.She didn't remember where his money was gone.This was happening to her now a days.She suddenly forgot issues.She didn't know if she was sick.But anyway she didn't got enough money to consult Doctor now.First she had to settle then later she might go to Doctor.She started looking around.She still had that costly furniture.But how did it fit in this place.Then she heard sound from outside.Their furniture had came inside.It was very old and little bit dusty also.Then she suddenly remembered.She didn't have her old furniture.They had to sell it. Her husband's death was effecting them so much that Rita couldn't help it so she finally asked"Do you miss your Dad?"After her question Trupti looked at her with shock and Priti started crying. Trupti looked at her with anger."Mom why did you have to mention him?Don't you know how Priti feel about him?"There was so much accusation in her eyes that she could clearly feel that she was hurt inside her heart.Rita suddenly felt so sad.They must be missing their father and instead of understanding it.Rita asked them that question.Then she suddenly remembered that Priti was never that much fond of her father and even Trupti was not that much near him.It all happened after he started that business.He always stayed out of house and then he started drinking.Then she heard that men who were carrying furniture started screaming on her.They were asking her where did they suppose to keep the furniture.She once again got busy with her job.But that moment she felt that she suddenly forgetting many things.Then they arranged all furniture.At first both the girl were not so happy but slowly they got adjusted.Rita saw that how easily girls got adjusted.
That whole day when in getting settle when furniture was kept at proper place.They got little bit relaxed after that they started decorated their house.They used their new curtains.When they were approximately finished,they heard a sound of knocking on door.Then they saw a woman coming inside with small kid in tow.That woman"Hello,I am Seema your neighbour and this is my son lucky."Then Rita introduced her to everyone.Then Seema started looking around.Seema"Where is your husband?You can't set whole house alone with girls."Rita"Actually my husband is no more."Seema started looking at them with full sympathy.Seema"I am so sorry.I never thought....what happened to him?"Rita was shocked by that woman's straight forwardness.But on other side she knew any way.She had to answer her.She was about to answer.But she suddenly found that she could remember.Now this was worst.She couldn't remember her husband's death.She must be sick or something.Seema was looking at her with expectation of answer.But before she could say something Trupti came to her escape.Trupti"Dad died due to heart attack."When she gave that answer,Rita looked at her.Trupti gave her an encouraging smile and Priti was holding her hand.Trupti started gesturing Rita to continue.But Rita didn't remember anything and accepting this before everyone seemed like stupid move.Rita started telling one story from her imagination and Trupti started nodding.She saw even Priti was also nodding.Rita was shocked to see that she was telling truth without remembering it.Seema heard everything with emotions.When Rita described how much loving and caring her husband was.Seema patted on her shoulder. Seema Now you have to forget it and go ahead with your life.Look at those girls.They need you."Rita turned around and looked at their faces.They were looking at her with admiration and happiness.She just didn't understand their expression.There should sorrow on their face for loss of their loving father.Rita was more confused now.Why didn't she remember anything clearly?She just carried on chatting about her imagination and her dreams.In which her husband was so perfect and kind.She was sure that at some point her daughters would point out her truth.But they didn't say anything .After some times Rita noticed that Seema's eyes were full of pity now.Seema"I just don't know why such good men die so young?"Then they both shocked when they heard strange sound of laugh from Trupti.They looked at her.Rita thought that she must be getting hysterical.She looked at Seema who was also looking concern.Then Trupti controlled herself but by then Priti was so scared.Seema"Priti why don't you go out and play with Lucky?You will have great fun."Priti just wanted to run from there so she happily went out with Lucky.Seema and Rita both started consoling Trupti now who appeared to be once again in control.Rita thanked god when Trupti appeared in control.She decided that she would not discuss about her husband again.Then Seema started helping them to set house.The whole house was settled with very hard efforts.But Seema helped them throughout.When Seema's husband came home,he also helped even without considering his tiredness.Finally their house was settled.
At night when Rita was helping girl in making their bed,suddenly Priti asked"Mom why did you lied about the Dad?"Rita was expecting this question for many hours.After all if you didn't know remember anything then you couldn't able to tell right.Before Rita could say anything,Trupti screamed on Priti"Are you mad?Mom can't tell truth about Dad.If she told everything no one would talk to us or you will never find a friend."Then Trupti looked at Rita with eyes that were full of tears.Trupti"Mom you are great but how did you find that wonderful stories.You must have work on them for hours and you sound so convinced that for some seconds I began to think that you are telling the truth."Now Rita was so nervous.She didn't remember anything and she could confess it before her daughter.After all she was a little girl and she couldn't find a person whom she could trust.Rita just kept looking at Trupti.When she didn't response Trupti went back to her work.Rita was so shocked.Something was totally wrong with her and she needed help.She just couldn't find a person who would help her.Each person had his or her problems and they couldn't come to help her.After hearing her daughter she began to think about her past.When she went to sleep,her all memories were started coming back.She remembered that at beginning her life was so pleasant.They were not rich still they were happy with their life.But her husband always wanted more.He needed money and all luxuries.
