Adventure story 153. One photo

                                                                     One photo
Rajat was enjoying each and every scene.He was always fan of sight seeing.He just loved watching scene.He was enjoying it that day.Every thing was perfect.He was photographer of nature which looked so great on every point. Rajat always looked at that scene. It was nice but he wanted better one.It was for his regular magazine in which editor wanted to be.He was working for that editor since long time.He wanted that editor which should looked so marvelous. Rajat looked at that scene which wanted to be special than that last scene.Suddenly that scene didn't look to that much promising to him.He didn't want something normal.He looked at that scene once again carefully.It was not that beautiful in his eyes now.He started moving ahead slowly.Then he noticed.A girl was standing on peak of that mountain.She was dressed in beautiful pink dress.Her hairs were floating on her face.He didn't able to see her face.In fact that scene looked  just useless to him in mind now because that girl looked like perfect as model.He knew that he couldn't click someone without permission.But he just couldn't stop himself from taking photo.When he clicked that photo,that photo looked so beautiful and enchanting.In that photo there was so much beauty in that scene.He just started clicking photos.He convinced himself that he would ask for that girl's permission.After all he was not going to use it until it became necessary for him. He just knew from his heart that he was doing something totally wrong on every point.He just didn't able to control himself.He started clicking photos.He never understood that what was happening on every point.That photo was looking so beautiful.But Rajat wanted to click on every photo.But then slowly he realized that this girl was moving too near to that peak of mountain.He realized that she would fall from that peak only if he went and tried to stop her because on that point.He felt that he must stop but it was so hard to go there so Rajat started screaming"Stop..Stop..Stop."It was so horrible.That girl turned her head and looked at him.She was so beautiful and innocent.He felt as if she was just small bud of rose.He just felt relaxed that she had heard him.He was so happy that it all was finally over.But then she just looked ahead and before he could understand what was happened.She just jumped before his eyes.He screamed.He even tried to call for help.His voice was echoed in those mountain.But no one came.He saw that girl falling down and down.Finally she was no longer seen by his eyes.He just began to imagine her horrible condition when she reached to that ground.He just couldn't imagine.But he could still see her innocent face and those beautiful eyes which seemed to had nothing.They were just expressionless like eyes of some doll.He just couldn't able to take her out of his mind.He kept screaming for help.But in his heart he knew that she was died.But slowly things began to turn dark before his eyes.He had fainted on just corner of that peak.He didn't know.He was fainting but whole time he could just see her falling down before his eyes.He was far away in reality.But in his imagination he was going near and near her.He was so scared that one day he would fall with her.He just didn't want to see her body or he didn't want to die that horrible death.
      When Rajat woke up,he was in hospital.He looked around that hospital was not good one.It's interior had that strange faded and horrible kind of smell which irritated him as soon as he woke up by entering in his nose.He was sure that it must be some charitable hospital.He just didn't understood that how did he reached here.At first his memory didn't support him.He was so scared.But slowly he started remembering things one by one.He was clicking photos when he noticed that girl and then she fall.He didn't want to scream but when he remembered it that scream suddenly escaped from his mouth. It was horrible for him.He just didn't able to forgot that scream.He was so scared on every point from heart.He just didn't want to remember it.But then he felt that he was screaming so loudly that he was surrounded by people.Some were patients and some were nurses and ward boys who were trying to calm down him.Then he heard some one screaming"Don't surround patient like that.You are scaring that patient more and more at every moment."They all apologized and ran away. Rajat was really started feeling little better now.He was not screaming now.That scream was vanished now.It was so nice to feel some air. Then Doctor came near but started checking him."Relax.Your blood pressure have shoot up.If you get excited like this it will increase.""What?..What?..Happen to that girl?"In his heart Rajat already knew every thing already.She must be dead because no one could be alive after such a big fall.But still he wanted to confirm.Somewhere in heart his hope was still alive which told him that she might be stuck to some branch like in Movies.Doctor"She was your relative?""No..No.I just saw her on that moment."Then he told every thing to Doctor.That Doctor was listening but Rajat knew that he was not paying that much attention.In fact he was not even reacting that much about anything from mind.He was just looking at Rajat Blood pressure and telling nurse about changes needed inside his chart.At first Rajat felt angry."Doctor don't you care what I am telling you about that girl? I just didn't understand how can you be so inhuman."Doctor looked so upset and angry now."I am inhuman.That girl is dead.I can't help her now and your blood pressure is rising like rocket and you want me to discuss about that dead girl.Come on Mister whoever you are.Don't you want to be alive?"Rajat was confused now.He just felt that he was going out of his mind.He was screaming on that Doctor who was helping him. Rajat"Sorry..Doctor." In heart Rajat just didn't understand that why did he cared so much about that girl.He didn't even know her.When he started thinking like that he felt little bit relaxed.Then nurse gave him some pills.He took them.Doctor asked his name, address and telephone number.He gave it all when he finished telling that he started feeling sleepy once again so he slept peacefully on that bed. In dream he was once again near that same horrible place.He was clicking picture of sunset when that girl came from behind and asked him"Why did you click my photos?You are snooping on me.""No Madam.I was going to ask you.""No you are liar.""No...Madam."That girl took hold of his hand that she started getting horrible from each side.Her body was full of wounds and she was bleeding from every body part.Then suddenly her body started breaking.She started calling for his help.He wanted to help her.But he was so scared.He started running.But by mistake he took wrong side and he was standing on peak of mountain now.Then he began to heard her feet.She was coming near him and he shut his eyes and screamed.
     Then he heard nurse's voice."Are you all right Mr.Rajat?"It was just nurse.He was dreaming again.He looked around.He was full wet due to sweating.He needed to get bath.He just couldn't believe that his life had became such horrible film.He never believed it if some one told him that it would happen to him.It was so embarrassing because that nurse was looking at him with strange look which mostly people saved in sympathy of mad person. Rajat felt so much upset by this. He could surely see that he was considered as mad man and he didn't want it so he gave one forced smile. Rajat" Nothing. It is just a nightmare."When Rajat gave that artificial smile that nurse looked relaxed.She started cleaning things around Rajat's bed which actually didn't need just clean.They needed to rebuild whole hospital to make it clean. Rajat started laughing due to this thought.That nurse looked at him with confused expression. Rajat"I feel that this cleaning will not help this room that much.""I will agree with you totally but you have to convince this to hospital's dean."And then they both started laughing. Rajat felt relaxed.Slowly he started chatting with other patient.He was bored to stay there.But when he talked at least he could move his attention from that smell for some time. He was feeling very relaxed when his sister came inside with her husband.She was crying and she hugged him. Rajat's Sister Rucha "Ohh, Rajat are you all right? I received call from hospital. Ohh my god..When you are shifted from ICU to here.Did they check you properly before doing that?...""Rucha actually...""Now don't talk.Just sleep."Then she turned to her husband Harish."I know they just shifted him to room because he didn't able to pay money.Just go and pay.Then they will treat him properly." Harish tried to talk to her but Rucha was not ready to listen any thing.She just kept screaming and crying.It was too much for Rajat. He didn't want another show off. But nothing helped.Finally Doctor came.He was very angry.He explained everything to Rucha and Harish. Then he finally said "Mr.Rajat can't go from hospital until he give statement to Police.""But my brother is innocent why police is harassing him?"Harish" She is right. Rajat never harmed a fly in life.He is has such good nature.You just can't say anything vicious about him.""Right.But he clicked photos of a woman when he didn't even ask for permission and that is crime."Harish and Rucha was shocked.They looked at Rajat with anger. Rajat"No..I was not clicking that woman.I was clicking scene.Nature...sky... mountain..Rucha I was not snooping on her.I was just clicking when she came in view.You can see those pictures. Her face is not even seen in them.I ..."Before he could say something else Doctor stopped him.Doctor "No need to tell me.I have called police. Explain it to them."Then he turned to Rucha and told her bills which she needed to pay.He just never understood that even after paying so large bill that why hospital couldn't renovated. Then he remembered cost of medicines.They were so costly.He sat on bed.He was so scared now.He could remember every ugly face of police.He had seen in movies.He just kept shivering.
      After some time an inspector and constable came,they seemed too busy to waste time on him.They asked list of questions and started writing every thing.It was like filling of routine form for them.They had just one problem from Rajat that he was taking so long time to give answer.When finally everything was over, Rucha and Harish were still standing in corner. Rucha "You don't ask us to go out while giving statement? Don't you suppose to do that?"Inspector and constable started laughing."You watch too much television. Your brother is not criminal.He is just witness of suicide.Why did we want to trouble you? Sign here and you have to come to court."Rajat "For what?you said that I am not criminal. ""Relax.Just normal procedure."Constable"Right.But it will waste your long time so be prepare."Inspector nodded and they went away with signed paper.Their talking turned out to be true. Rajat's one day was wasted in court and then everything was over.But he saw parents of that woman who were crying.It was so hard for them.He never understood proper cause.But it was suicide.He was so upset by all that.He felt so relieved when finally it was over. But that night he had that nightmare. He felt that it was last time.But it proved totally wrong.He started getting nightmare on each and every night.He just felt so much upset night after night. But he didn't dare to tell it to Rucha because he knew that she would create big issue out of it.He just felt that slowly those dreams would vanish but then he had phone from Magazine for that photo.He decided to click photos.He made every arrangement like old times.He packed his one small bag and then took another bag for camera.He did hotel booking. Everything was perfect. Normal like he had thought.Then on suitable time he went out in hired car with his camera.He started looking around.He felt some strange scared feeling from inside.But he knew that it was first time since that incidence so he was sure that something would happen.So he decided to ignore it. He felt that it would go away.Then finally he found a location and he went near that peak to click. But then he suddenly looked down from that peak and then it was worst.Every thing went blank before his eyes. There was just darkness and nothing else was visible in life. He just knew that he would fall but still he could not stop himself from fainting.He was lucky enough to find a tree to hold before falling on ground.When he woke up,once again he was in hospital.But this time since he was carrying his ID as her Rucha's instructions. Rucha and Harish were sitting near him. Rucha "What happened? Are you not eating properly?Or are you nervous? I am your sister just tell me what happened to you..""Nothing Rucha. I was just trying to click when I was fainted."Harish"I don't understand.You faint just like that.""Ya.Not just like that.At beginning I feel little scared..""Scared?I don't understand."Then Doctor came,when Rucha asked him that what happened. Doctor" Blood pressure was increased."Rucha "But why?" Then Doctor sat near Rajat and asked him every thing in details.
     Doctor heard every thing attentively.Then he asked"Have any thing like this happen before to you?""Never. I am a photographer.I always click on peaks and show that nature's beauty on every angle.After all those photos would have plenty of colors and look inside.On each photo would have so special effect for heart.I used to move on peak to click photos.I took many types of risks on that peak at every point. I never use to get scared so much. But this time I have just fainted.Doctor you have to do something.I can't handle my life this way. I have to go on peaks and mountains in life.I do my earning by clicking photos like this. I love my photography.I can't change my profession.Please help me."Rajat was crying now.It was first time when he had cried inside life.He wanted to control himself.But he couldn't able to stop himself.Doctor"I feel that you need a psychiatrist."Rajat"Psychiatrist?"" You are physically fit.You are having some mental problem."Rucha "My god.Just tell us that doctor.I will take my brother there today."Harish"Relax. We will do every thing for Rajat."Then Doctor gave that number. Rajat was so shocked by all this.He just didn't say anything.He was so scared.He just hoped that his problem would vanish.He started nature photography from heart. But now it was taken out of his life.He just didn't want to change his work.He wanted to control his thoughts since Doctor told him that it's due to his mind.He was trying hard to control his feelings and mind.On every point it was turning something worst for life. He just couldn't believe that he would seem as if he just could had control even over his mind. He was trying so hard.Once he decided to try again.He forced Harish to come with him.On that moment Rajat decided that he would not let himself get scared.He went on every point so then he felt just one thought from inside.That he would manage to stop his fears.But then when they went here,he felt strange fear from inside.He took hold of Harish's hand.He hold it so hard that Harish screamed.Harish was talking to him all time to take away his attention from fear.But Rajat knew that nothing seemed to be working on him.Slowly when he reached to that peak,he sensed same fear and fainted.When he woke up,he was at home and Rucha was screaming on Harish. She scold Harish for agreeing to take Rajat out with him.She forced to swore that he would not there until Psychiatrist allowed. Rajat agreed. That time Rajat forced to give away some of his favorite photos which he stored for special contests.He started anxiously waiting for that appointment.Finally that day came.Rajat went alone there.He insisted that he wanted to be alone.It was hard but finally Rucha had to give up.Then he waited for his number.That time seemed like centuries.But finally he went inside.He slowly told Psychiatrist every thing.Psychiatrist "Due to that suicide trauma you are suffering from height phobia.You are scared of height.""But I can't just give up like that."" Don't worry.You can be cure but it will take time.""But until then?""You can take picture from ground.Can't you?"Rajat was so shocked.He remembered those photographer who ran after celebrities.He never wanted to be one of them.But he had to become one of them for some time.He just hoped not for all life and he went away. He just felt one thing only if he had not clicked that one photo.But what happened was already happened.He had to suffer now.He just kept convincing heart that every thing will be fine.But he knew one thing that it would take some time.
