Adventure story 106. Unpaid Slave

                                                          Unpaid Slave
Geeta was so happy when she saw that Ritu was getting ready for going to that Doctor.These days were worst for them specially since Ritu's strange behavior. Everything was not fine with Ritu. In fact it was never fine since her birth. Geeta still remembered those days at that time Ritu was just a teenager when one day her father were gone out and suddenly they received one call. Ritu attended it and then after some time she started moving around kitchen. Geeta sensed it that something was wrong.Her younger sister Trupti was eating there. Geeta asked Ritu "What is it?What do you want?" Ritu pointed slowly towards Trupti. That meant that Ritu wanted to discuss something which couldn't include Trupti so it must be something serious. Geeta thought that it could be something about school incidence.Some boy might be teasing her. Geeta read enough papers to understand that how serious that matter could be so she immediately told Trupti that she should eat her food in hall before Television. Trupti was overjoyed with it.After all Trupti always wanted to do it but Geeta never permitted it.Whenever Trupti sat before Television she just always liked to just watch and totally forgot to eat food so it was not permitted.But today Geeta was forced to say yes to her because she wanted to talk with Ritu.As soon as Trupti went away she turned to Ritu,Geeta"What happen you can tell me your problem?"Ritu suddenly seemed nervous. Geeta could feel that it was moment when she must encourage her daughter to talk.So Geeta started consoling her and telling her that she must talk every thing that was in her head. Ritu"Mom did you noticed that one woman is calling Dad again and again."Now Geeta was shocked because she was prepared for everything but was not prepared for it. Geeta"What are you saying?How could ...""I know you will get angry with me.That's why I was not telling you.I said that only when you insisted."Ritu started crying. Geeta was so confused at one side.She wanted to defend her husband and on other side she felt that it was not her daughter's mistake.It was just her age. Geeta decided that she would close that matter there only. Geeta"Come on.I have seen that woman.She was your father's companies client.Nothing else.""Are you sure Mom?"Geeta could see it clearly that her daughter was not believing it.In fact first time in life she was so confused that how could she convince her. Then Geeta decided that she must speak with determination.
          For long time Geeta convinced Ritu but then after sometime finally Ritu went out of that kitchen.But on that point Geeta suddenly felt that she was looking at watch.She suddenly began to think that why did her husband was coming so late.She started laughing her stupidity.How could she just began to believe her teenage daughter's nonsense.Then Geeta was doing something which was not she wanted to do so she decided that she must pay attention to some thing so she started watching television.Trupti was sitting before television and some serial was started.Geeta began to watch it.At beginning she felt relaxed because it was nice historical drama.But then another serial was started which was a big family drama.Until now that husband who had shown as example honest and loyal husband.But on that episode suddenly a vamp was introduced so lead character hero was having affair while his devoted wife was doing every duty.That husband was having affair.Geeta was so upset by this.She just switched off that television.Trupti was so shocked "Mom why did you switch off T.V.?I was watching it.""No need to watch that nonsense." Trupti started crying and she screamed "Mom why are you so angry on me?It was not my mistake that Dad is having affair and Didi told you that I hate you and Dad.Both just think about themselves.You are so irritating maybe that's why Dad like that woman?"Geeta was so angry after hearing this that she was about to slap Trupti when Ritu came there.Ritu"Mom just relax.I will handle her."Geeta looked at Ritu with such affection.On that moment Geeta felt that Ritu was such big help.She was so glad to have such a helpful daughter.She was glad that she had not slapped Trupti.It could had made situtation worst then she went to her room and started waiting for her husband Aakash.That day Aakash came home very late and he was looking tired.But even after seeing this Geeta started arguing with him.Geeta screamed"Who was that woman?"
      Akash was so shocked by sudden attack of his wife that at first he thought that she was joking.Aakash"Geeta I am not in mood for joke.Will you get lunch ready for me?""Ya that is my duty.I suppose to get lunch ready for you and then you can have affairs outside.""Why are you repeating those dialogues of some film or serial?It was not right time.Already that woman have manage to destroy my brain.That woman.."Then he began to curse that woman and on that moment Geeta understood that Aakash was cursing that woman who phoned him.Aakash"She wanted me to cheat against company and give her discount then she will give me commission.Can you believe it and many of staff members are taking those bribe but I said no.I told them.I will not become part of this fraud so they shifted me to another office."Then Aakash began to tell her all his problems so it was confirmed that Aakash was not having affair but he was in problem due to this woman.Then Geeta consoled Aakash and when Aakash told her that he had to go to pune for some days and he couldn't tell that how long it would take.He was suggesting that they should join him next year.After all they could waste one year of their daughter's education.Geeta nodded in agreement.Everything seemed so fine.She just had to suffer from normal problems so after consoling Aakash and telling him that she was with him.She went inside.Then she noticed Trupti was standing in corner.Trupti"Sorry..Mom.I just insulted Dad.But Didi was speaking with such confidence..."Ritu suddenly interrupted"Don't you understand?He is lying.He wanted to create new home in Pune and going to leave us here.Then he will get adjust there in his new home.."Aakash"Will you shut up?How dare you speak like this about me?and Geeta you are tolerating her.One minute you believed her.I can't believe it.My own family stood against me just due to that woman.I just don't want to hear anything.I am leaving tomorrow."Geeta was now crying and Trupti joined her.They both were crying due to guilt but Ritu was still sure about her guess.She just kept insisting that she was right.It took them every hard time to convince Aakash.
           Still that memory was fresh in Geeta's brain after that they all knew very well that Ritu just kept lying like that.Many times it caused big arguments between sisters.But slowly Geeta convinced Trupti that she should avoid her.Geeta knew that it would create a big gap between sister but they had to do it.Slowly Geeta noticed that Ritu hardly managed to make any friends in school or college.No one seemed to like her suspicious nature.Geeta could clearly understood them because they were having hard time while having it.Slowly as days went ahead.They started to learn to tolerate Ritu.Then finally Ritu became suitable for age of marriage.They had hard time to find proper boy because Ritu was just always used to ask so strange questions to boys that they used to run away from her.Finally they found one but he was little but over weight and dark.But still they agreed that he would keep Ritu happy with his good nature.At beginning Ritu was really happy but that happiness just remained for some days.One day suddenly Ritu came back there.She was crying.Her cheek was red.She told them that her husband slapped her.At beginning they all were angry but then her in-laws and husband came there and apologised to Ritu before all.But Geeta asked angrily"But why did you slap her?"Ritu's husband said with eyes that were full of tears "Mom I apologise once again to you all.But she spoke some thing totally wrong.We went to a naming ceremony of my childhood friend.We used to play together when we are kid.I mean just under 10 years.But when we went there.Ritu just looked at that baby and because that baby had eyes like me.She started screaming before every one that this is my baby.Every one was looking at me with suspicious.My friend started crying and her husband started abusing her due to just Ritu's nonsense and on that moment I lost my control and slapped her because I want to shut up her mouth." Geeta and Aakash were so shocked.Trupti "This is too much.How can Didi do that?"Ritu started screaming on Trupti "How can you say such things against your sister?Ohh I know you want my husband and to get him your are doing this.."Finally Geeta screamed "Will you stop this Ritu?"Even that didn't stop Ritu.She just kept screaming against everyone.Finally her mother-in-law spoke"I think something is wrong with your daughter.If you want to send her back to our home.Then you need to take her to psychiatrist."Then they left.
        It took them many days to convince Ritu that she needed a psychiatrist.When finally she got agreed Geeta jumped with joy.She was not convinced that she needed one but she wanted to prove that she didn't need so she was going to prove it.When they went to psychiatrist,he chatted with them for long time.Finally he asked Geeta"From where did this started?""Since she was teenager.""Then what took you so long ?""Actually we don't want to tell any one...""That your daughter is mad.Am I right?"Psychiatrist asked angrily.Geeta and Aakash nodded."So what happen finally?You have to accept it and now her husband will also suffer due to her problems.Can you call him now?"Aakash"Actually he was on his way.He just got stuck in traffice.""Ok fine.I will talk to with just Ritu for some time.You can wait out side and from that glass door you can see us."Then both nodded.They saw that Ritu was chatting with psychiatrist animatedly for hour.Then finally they were called inside by then Ritu's husband had joined them.Then psychiatrist explained everything to him.Finally he told "Ritu was suffering Paranoid disorder.We will give her treatment."Geeta"And then she will be fine."Psychiatrist angrily looked at her"That is not that easy.You need to have lot of patience."Then they heard many medical terms which just went above their brain so finally they went out.It was not at all relief for them.But it was nice and perfect for Ritu so after that Ritu started going to that pyschiatrist.She was not completely cured but at least she was less problematic for them.But Geeta and Aakash never forgot those worst moments so they just never said anything when Ritu's husband or in-laws blamed them or never said no to them for entire life.They became their unpaid slave.
