                                                                       Memory
Rakesh was choosing dress for his wife. He was so excited. It was her birthday gift. Until now every time Rakesh used to take Seeta every time when she decided to buy birthday gift.But this time he was away on tour so he supposed to buy gift on his own. He started searching for gift at every point. He began to search for gifts in each and every shop. When he began to look at every shop,there were many gifts arranged in shop. Rakesh was wandering around. He just didn't know which shop should be suitable for gift. He was just so confused. He saw that there were many types of shops.He noticed one shop. It was nice perfect sort of market which were having many sort of shops on every angle of market. Rakesh saw one most interesting sort of shop.When he went near that glass,he noticed that there were small dogs and cats inside.Those animals were looking so cute. That was pet shop. He wanted to just pick one of dog. But he was not sure if Seeta would like that dog. But then that dog started barking in such way that he just couldn't able to ignore it.But then he remembered Seeta's face.He just felt doubt that she might not like a dog so he just went ahead.He started searching for another gift. He went into many shops of dresses and sarees but he just couldn't able to choose any dress. He just didn't know about fashion on any point so choosing clothes would create problem on every point. He just kept running from one cloth shop to another. But nothing worked. Then he went in jewelry shop. He started looking at jewels. He started watching jewels carefully and on each he saw diamonds which were set in perfect way. But then he saw their prices.They all were over his budget which was limited according to his salary. Those jewels were set in such beautiful way that he felt that only if he had enough money to buy it. But his budget didn't permit.He just couldn't throw away money like that.He needed to keep check on his purchases.He loved Seeta but that didn't just permit him to forget his financial capacity. After all he just couldn't just give her such gift and then on next day keep her with empty stomach. He started laughing at that thought. He just could imagine what would be Seeta's reaction if he gave her that beautiful jewel piece.He was sure that she would laugh at beginning to get that beautiful piece. But then slowly she could able to guess that price of that jewelry. Then she would scream or she might faint. Rakesh laughed so loudly after he imagined it that people who were in that shop looking at him in strange way.He could sensed that they felt that he was mad. He was so embarrassed. He went out of that shop. He just went in next shop. He just couldn't able to select things which he wanted to pick up. He was wandering in shops.On that point he heard a sound which was strange.He turned around. He felt that some one was following him. He sensed that this must be thief. He just started running ahead. He didn't want to get rob. He was in such area which was unknown to him.He just kept running but then suddenly one scooter came from ahead.He was so confused. He looked behind.
      Rakesh saw that a young boy was smiling at him.On that point he sensed that something was wrong. His bag was snatched by driver of scooter. When that bag was taken, there was such big push that Rakesh fell down. Before he could sense any thing or control his body,he felt strange pain in his head and all his world turned upside down. It was so horrible. He felt that pain and he screamed most loudly.It was killing him. He just could not stop himself from screaming. He was now far away from his happy dreams with just one sorrow from inside.He felt that he was feeling just one pain from inside heart. That he was no longer going to enjoy his day with Seeta and then he felt just one horrible pain. Then his whole world was a sea of pain. Slowly his senses were lost due to those pains.He had fainted there. He was in that blood on every point. There was blood on his body. He was bathing in blood. He was trying to avoid to catcher and while doing that he went far away from busy market. He was just there on that lonely road without much help.It was took hours before some one noticed him. They called Police.Then finally ambulance came and took him to hospital. There he was sleeping in one government hospital like unknown person with beggars and homeless person while Seeta was jumping in excitement while hoping for some biggest present of her life.She knew that it could be dress because Rakesh could never choose it. She had just kept guessing. But then she thought that she could phone him and take out some information. She rang that phone and mobile started ringing in pocket of injured Rakesh. A ward boy noticed it and took it out of pocket. Seeta was so confused to hear that different voice. She sensed that it was not some one who belonged to her class.She could sensed that it was some one less educated not one of Rakesh's friends. Seeta" Can I talk to Rakesh? ""Who?""This mobile number belong to my husband.I want to talk to him."Seeta was so scared on every point. Seeta's voice started shaking fully, Her voice had became weak.That ward boy sensed that she was talking about injured person. "Madam your husband is injured.In fact he needed surgery and we are waiting for relatives. Come as soon as possible.""I will come.Give me address. But please start treatment immediately.""It is started but he need operation.""Okay.I will call his office."Seeta phoned his office immediately.That fellow talked nicely with her and told her that he would go and take care of Rakesh. Then Seeta called her brother and told him every thing. She just immediately started getting ready to go there. Then she had to call her in-laws. It was hardest task.She knew that she must not cry but she knew that she could do it easily.She slowly told every thing to her father-in-law who told her that they would join her there. She was more relaxed now. She wanted some one for support. In few seconds her brother phoned her and told her that he got a private car for them to go there. They would come there in half an hour.She wanted to hurry up more but she didn't had more resource.She went in her room and started packing.She wanted to cry but she didn't even had time to cry because she wanted to stand near his bed.She wanted to make him perfect and fine.She just felt one thing that her Rakesh was not safe with stranger.
       When Sarang came with car,Seeta just ran inside it. Sarang could sense that Seeta was fully shaken from inside. Seeta was looking so pale and nervous. She could sensed that it was all so wrong. She knew that Rakesh was not okay.She could sense it from that ward boy's voice. She was trying to call office again and again but no one was taking her call.Then finally some one took her call and when she started asking about Rakesh. That person just kept talking in such way that she could get any information but at same time she just could claim that this person was not telling her any thing. That person was so wise in talking that this fellow kept her arranged on her mobile for long time. But she could not get any thing out of him. But she was sure of one thing that Rakesh was not fine.Now she prayed to god for one thing that god should kept her Rakesh alive.She no longer cared if he was handicapped or fine. She just wanted one thing.She wished him to be alive, It was worst journey of her life. She just couldn't stop crying but she didn't even sense that tears were falling on her cheek.It was hard for her. She just didn't want to feel that way. She wanted herself enjoying her birthday. It was her birthday on tomorrow. She was still planning it somewhere in heart and hoping that every thing would vanish on some point. It would be just one big nightmare while thinking this.She started looking out of window. Then suddenly she woke up. Rakesh was patting Seeta's shoulder.Rakesh was saying happy birthday to her and smiling.She was so happy that it was just dream and then Rakesh gave her that gift. She was so happy.She wanted to open that gift.She took gift then she started to tell Rakesh about her nightmare. She was about to speak when she felt that some one was shaking her.She was once again awake in her nightmare. She was once again in that car with her brother. It was life. She had to accept it but this time she could not control her emotions.She just started crying loudly.Sarang tried to console her but nothing was working. Then he decided that he should let her cry for some time. It was hard for her and Sarang knew it from inside.Seeta cried for some time then she controlled herself. Seeta"Let's go."They went inside that hospital. Rakesh was already in operation theater.But they just couldn't able to tell that how did Rakesh react to that operation.Seeta just hoped from heart that he would be fine. They waited for long time until finally Rakesh was awake. She was so happy to hear that she just ran inside.But she was so shocked to see Rakesh's horrible condition.She knew that he was serious but still she didn't imagine him in this way. It was horrible for her. Still she controlled herself and went near him. She was trying hard to give smile but she knew that it was not coming. But when Rakesh woke up,he just looked around in strange way. As if he didn't understand any thing.She went near him. Seeta "Rakesh how are you?"He looked at her with confused expression. She was scared now.She felt that he might not recognize her for entire life. She screamed "I am Seeta."Suddenly Rakesh looked so upset. Rakesh"Stop screaming Seeta. My head is paining.""Sorry.Are you alright?""Of course. I am fine."You are fine?""Ya.I am perfect."Seeta was so shocked. Rakesh was claiming that he was perfect in that hospital.She just couldn't understand. But then she felt that he was saying this so that she could relax so she just smiled.
       In just few seconds Seeta was told to come out.Then she noticed that Police were standing outside. Police Inspector" Madam did your husband said something to you?""Regarding what?""Regarding who did this to him?"Seeta was shocked. Seeta"It was not accident." "Of course not. We went inside before you to take statement but your husband is not cooperating.May be he is scared? Try to convince him that he must tell everything to us.""Regarding what? When I went inside,he just said that he was fine.""What? How can he say that he is fine in that condition? If he is so brave then why is he scared to tell name of those people who did this to him.""I just don't understand."Then that Police Inspector called Doctor and told him every thing. Doctor" I feel that this is happening due to that injury to his brain."Seeta"What is happening?""Sometimes such thing happens?""What happens?"Now even Inspector looked nervous as if he was on spot.Inspector"So you think his statement will be useless for us."Doctor nodded.Doctor"I can't tell surly till I see his reports.But I have operated on him. He is alive that is just due to his good stars."Inspector"What is good about it? He have stay this way for whole life.He can't even able to feed his wife instead of that his wife have to feed him. It will be not safe for him even to be alone.""Now stop jumping on conclusions. Let me check first."Seeta sensed that some thing was totally wrong.She was so upset. Seeta" Can I sit near him?"Doctor"Of course."She ran inside his room.But she just couldn't stop there for long time since it was ICU.But then as she turned to go,suddenly Rakesh took hold of her hand and said"I have bought present for you. But I just ..."Then once again he was confused. He started looking at ceiling. He just didn't understand or remember any thing.She just ran out of room because she was crying now. It was hard for her to control her tears. Sarang was there.He was watching this all silently.But he decided that now he must speak.Sarang"Seeta I feel that you must search for some job.""What? At this moment...""Seeta you have to think. Rakesh need some financial as well as physical support.His parent were coming. They will help you by staying with him.But for financial support you need to stand on your own feet.You can't expect your in-laws to work at this age or find job so you need job.""But Rakesh can be fine.""Of course.He will be but until then.Do you think his company will keep him after such big sick leave.I don't feel so.Even if he was fine,still he need to search for job and start every thing new.Until he settles down,you have to become financial support for your family."Seeta was really scared from inside. She never thought about doing some job.But she had to now.She just nodded and said that she would do it.Then she started waiting for her in-laws.They came late due to delay in their tickets.By that time Rakesh was shifted to normal room. He was looking a lot better than first day. But still his parents looked scared. When he started talking slowly he started making sense. Even Doctor made it clear that his brain was not damaged that seriously. But still he had to be careful regarding every thing. But still every one would sense that he was not alright. Slowly he started discussing many issues but still Seeta felt that it was not right time to tell him about her job. But then she noticed that one day Rakesh suddenly started asking her that when he could join back.She just avoided that matter.But she was sure that it was not going to be easy for him to accept that fact.
       Rakesh was recovering slowly.But he was getting upset each and every day on even smallest thing.That Rakesh who never used to raise his voice now just managed to raise it on every day. It was getting horrible on every day. Rakesh was improving step by step physically. When he was getting fit on every point, he just felt one thing from inside. He was not mentally fit. Rakesh just kept looking at ceiling. He was so upset. He was looking at unknown point for hours. His parents were trying hard to make him normal.But he was not changing in mental level. He was getting frustrated every point. His parents were looking at Seeta with anger on every point. They also started thinking on every point that Seeta was doing something wrong. Seeta whenever came in his room.He just started abusing her. He was even started getting suspicious of her.One day Seeta bought shirt for him.When Rakesh saw it,he felt one thing surely that she was having affair why else she would bought gift for him.He was so angry.Suddenly he lost his sense and threw flower vase on her.She was so shocked.But that vase hit her temple. There was blood on temple.He saw those horrible pain on her face.She was looking horrible. When those pains were started hurting her,Seeta's face was looking so painful. Rakesh sensed that he did something totally wrong on every point. He sensed that he had done something wrong. Then his parents entered and they took Seeta to hospital. Rakesh knew that he had done something wrong. He wanted to say sorry to Seeta.But just Sarang came to meet him with divorce paper and requested him to let his sister move ahead. Rakesh wanted to say apologized Seeta but then he thought better way to apologize was to sign those divorce paper which Sarang brought to him.After all he never gave any happiness to Seeta. So when he became normal again his life was so changed.He was alone again.Seeta was no longer part of his life. He had to start career again. But one day Police once again phoned him to ask if he remembered anything because once more some person was robbed.This time that fellow had dead. Rakesh wished from heart that he was there. He wanted to find that person who did this to him. But he just couldn't able to remember it. He decided to do something to remember it.He decided to go to psychiatrist.He started going there.At first he was scared. It was hard for him. But there was long line before him. He was getting nervous step by step.But finally his number came to psychiatrist. He entered inside that clinic. He was nervous at first but slowly he explained every thing to psychiatrist who told him that it was posttraumatic symptoms.He was suffering from little bit of amnesia. Psychiatrist told him that it was hard but slowly he would remember every thing. He started moving ahead step by step. He was not remembering any thing much.But he started feeling relax.Slowly he managed to even forget that revenge. When he went in court for divorce,they suggested counseling,but by then his mental problem was over.Due to it every thing started getting normal with them.His parents went back.They once more started their life.But one thing just never happened that Rakesh could never went back to his old position.He was on lower position since he still sometimes suffered with pains and his that memory never came back.But he had learn to live what he got.This turned his life into perfect. Psychiatrist might not able to bring back his memory but he managed to turn his life in normal because he had adjusted with all lows in his life.
