                                                              Perfect medicine
That scene would look so much good. Rohit was watching it from window. He was concentrating on it. He was looking at those lights.Now a day it had become Rohit's favorite habit from inside. He was watching scene. In it he always remembered that days when he used to stay at home with his Mom. But now a days he just stayed alone in house.He wanted to be with his Mom.But he knew that he couldn't say it.After all he was not small boy.He was manager of big company where he did many deals daily with international client. It was not as if he was staying with Mom on every day.He was always used to go abroad for tours. He was not that much staying with her. He just couldn't say that he was staying with his Mom all time. Actually his sister used to spend whole time with Mom and he used to do work.In fact every time his sister Ritika used to complain that he hardly gave any time to his Mom.He still remembered last incidence with  Ritika regarding Mom.He was going out again to do some work.When he was about to go out,door bell rang.He opened door. Ritika was standing outside.He was so upset.He knew that Ritika was going to tell him that he had to take care for his Mom.But he didn't want that responsibility.He knew that it was his duty to take care of his sick Mom.He just hated it.He was working so hard every time and he didn't have that much time.But his sister also had family responsibilities. Ritika had her family.She took Mom with her when he had to go abroad but now she wanted him to take back Mom.He just had to avoid for some time.Slowly he was increasing time. He had took work which must be done in abroad.He tried to avoid it. Ritika "You are going out again.""Yes.I need to go.""Why your office is sending you out again and again? Don't they know you have sick Mom at home? Why are they acting so inhuman?"Ritika was screaming with anger. Rohit knew that just office was not blamed for it.He never insisted personally for such a thing.But he never dared to admit this to his sister."Come on Ritika.They are paying for all expenses.They are the one who are spending so much money on Mom.My office gives me salary which is used on Mom.So I don't have right to complain.They have right to claim all that work from me."Suddenly Ritika became silent. Rohit knew that money was Ritika's weak point. She never wanted reduction in his salary.In fact she just wanted all bills of their Mom to be paid by him.Ritika"You are right.You have to adjust.I can understand.But at least sometimes you shall have to come and meet Mom.""Sure.I will."After saying this he went to UK and he spent long time there.He phoned many times to Ritika and even sent her money.He sent more money that required because he didn't want Ritika to complain.But finally one day he received call that his Mom had died.Then he came back.When he saw his Mom's body,for first time he felt as if he lost some part of himself,He felt as if he wanted to turn clock backward and did something for her.But it was not possible,It was too late.
      It was just few days after Rohit's Mom's death he was looking out of window.He just began to develop habit of looking out of window. He was watching outside. Now a days he was not even send to abroad since his project was over.They wanted him to do his job here only. Now Rohit was staying there.He was feeling alone somewhere inside heart.He just didn't understand that why did it was happening. But he was remembering him on every moment. He wanted to see his mother again.He was remembering every moment of childhood.He was looking out of window with strange hope that his Mom would came out of Riksha.Then she would rang door bell.She would bring that chocolates small one cute looking on every point. These cute looking chocolates would look still nice to him. He was no longer interested in those costly foreign chocolates. Until now he was not interested in those cheap chocolates.He wanted luxurious sort of chocolate. There was nice and wonderful smell because he just loved them. But today he felt carving for those cheap and tasteless chocolates.It was all so strange. He was wandering in market. He had so many imported chocolate in house.But he didn't want them.He felt that he might be not interested those chocolate due to regular eating. Then as soon as he went near shop of his childhood. He suddenly felt that he wanted to find those chocolates so when inside that shop. He started to search for them but that shop was changed so much.It was having just all costly and imported sort of chocolates. He wanted something different. He wanted those chocolates but he couldn't get them. He knew that he might be wanting that chocolates and that's why he was remembering his Mom.He couldn't just start remembering her so much suddenly.But then he remembered one thing which was told him by someone. That when someone died then for some days people felt strange way.He must go to office and involved himself in work.He decided that it was perfect thing. He started searching for his files then he saw many files which were needed his attention.He started working and he suddenly felt strange sort of relief. He was so much engaged in his work. He just forgot every thing around him.His world was just concluded inside those files.It was such relief for him. He started doing every work studiously.He never sensed that he forgotten to make dinner or he was not eating until.His maid came in house.Maid" Dada you have not eaten lunch yet?""Ohh, I just forgot."Then she looked at kitchen and got shocked.Maid"My god.You have not even made lunch."Rohit was so confused, "I just forgot.""Then order something and eat.I need to wash your plates and clothes..Have you gone to bathe?" Rohit was so confused that he just didn't remember for few moments.But maid saw his clothes on right place to wash.Maid" Now I will go to another house to do my work and then return in one hour.Be ready by then."He nodded and started ordering on phone. He did every thing just in time.But he just didn't understood that how could he just sat without even eating lunch.He had never acted that way.But something was totally wrong in his mind.He felt that this would slowly vanished.
      Rohit ordered food from hotel. He was lucky because that food came within 10 minutes. He smiled happily. He was so hungry.He ate food like a man who was hungry for days.He just didn't understand that why he didn't eat food for so much time.He was never got so much involved in his work. He was so busy in understanding work at every point. He was clearing work on every point. That work was so hard to understood on every point. He was doing work for many days. He wanted to do work but he never felt so much need of that work. But then he started feeling one thought from inside. That his work was some thing felt as if most refreshing thing on every point. He was trying so hard to complete it. But then slowly his work was just turning out to be his only source of happiness.But he knew that after eating food.He had to sleep relaxation was also important on every time. He just wished from inside that he had to complete his work. But when he finished his lunch, he forced himself to go and sleep. But he just kept watching fan. In his mind he was still drafting that letter. He was so involved in it. That just in few minutes he once again sat on computer automatically. He started working hard again but he was feeling so nice while working. He decided that he no longer cared for vacation. He just wanted to work.He knew that he loved doing project but he loved them with such intensity, When his maid came,he was not even willing to open door.Even maid looked shocked "Dada you are still working? I thought that you must be sleeping now.""I am not sleepy.I was quite relaxed.""But Dada you need some sleep.""I can't sleep at day time."That maid looked at him with concern. But then she sensed that she couldn't do any thing so she gave up. She went back to work. He just kept working for long time. He just seemed to lost sense of time.Then he suddenly felt that he was hungry. He looked at wall clock.He was shocked that it was 10 P.M. He was working for whole day.He just never sensed that he had not eaten any thing.He just didn't understand that how did he survive whole day with just lunch.He felt that he might be too much involved. He went to bed and set his alarm on watch. He woke up with noise of alarm.He saw clock.He woke up on proper time. He started making breakfast for himself.He noticed newspaper. He was about to read it. But then as he was about to pick it up. He felt that it was better if he read his file.He wanted to please his Boss with best work. He started reading file carefully on every point. He started once again working on file.He just forgotten breakfast.Then when finally his attention went to wall clock,he was already late. He just had to take sandwich with him while driving.After all he was too late, he just couldn't eat breakfast.He just took it in one bag and ran. He went towards road where his companies was supposed to pick him.He went inside with sandwich. He knew where was his seat. At beginning he ate that sandwich. Then he started once again looking in files. Those files seemed to turn out his passion. He was so busy in reading that he just didn't sense when their bus reached on that spot where his friend Alex entered and sat near him.
     Alex sat near Rohit. He felt that something was so strange. Now a days Rohit  was acting in such a strange way. He was just involved in work. Alex knew that work was his passion but Rohit  was never used to in such mad way. Then even that thought about friend looked like crime to Alex so he just ignored it.At every point Rohit acted this way. He felt that Rohit was hurting him on some point of mind that he started feeling this way. Alex never accepted that his friend had some mental problem. It didn't seem fair to think this way. After all he was his best friend.Alex had to support his friend.It was not fair that he should back stab his friend.Alex knew that every one was starting to say that Rohit was strange on every point,It seemed so strange that Rohit didn't speak with any one just kept doing work.It was so strange that once Rohit who used to chat people as easily as walking.Now he found it so hard even to have some time to talk with some one. It was so hard to explain that on every angle of life. But Alex felt that Rohit was so stress.He could understood that Rohit had lost every thing. He wanted to just keep him position in career because it was his hope.Alex remembered that how did their boss used to force Rohit to go out when Rohit's Mom was sick.Rohit never got time to share with Mom.Some had sympathy from heart while some people just didn't understand.Alex wanted his attention now so he tapped on Rohit's shoulder. Rohit looked at him with shock. Rohit " When did you come?""When you are busy in your work. I just didn't understand..Why are you so busy in work? I mean.I just saw you wasting your time so why did you need to do this extra work?" Rohit smiled."It is not that work which is not completed on time.I am doing extra project."Then Alex started looking at files.He was so shocked.It seemed as if Rohit was completing every staff''s extra work.Rohit was acting in such way that he had to complete all.Alex "But it is not your work.""But if boss know this.He would get upset on me.""Why on you?""Because he wanted profits and efficient work and efficiency in just my sector is not enough. He wanted every thing to be best.I just want him to be pleased. "Alex sensed that something was wrong. He just didn't understand that how did Rohit claim that he must do all work.It was so strange. Once again Alex felt that something was totally wrong. Alex "Come on. Just leave that file and talk with me for few moment."Rohit nodded and said "I will talk with you in just few moments.Just let me complete this work." Alex nodded.He just hoped that Rohit would stop his work.But Rohit just kept saying that he would stop and chat whole time but he just kept doing this work. Whole time Alex kept just watching and Rohit was working hard on every point. Slowly even Alex started helping him with his work so until they reached to office.They did just one thing. It was work.Alex was so shocked.He also got carried away with Rohit in that tide. Alex never sensed that instead of relaxing Rohit. It kept working with Rohit.But by time he came to senses.They were at office and had to say good day. When Rohit said by and ran inside office,Alex felt one thing from heart something was wrong with his friend.He felt that friendship didn't mean always talking sweet sometimes friends needed to talk bitterly also.Alex was sure that his time for bitter discussion had came in life. He knew that it could break his friendship but he was ready to take risk of breaking friendship instead of seeing his friend got broken in life.
       Alex decided that he would look in this matter. Then he just kept trying to convince Rohit on every time that Rohit should stop work.But he could clearly saw that Rohit was not getting convinced. Alex was trying on every moment but it was not giving him that much success.Then one day he went to Rohit's home.He was shocked to see that Rohit's house was locked. He went to neighbor who just loved to gossip about Rohit.She told Alex that Rohit was not just coming out of his house,They had common maid who told them lot of stories. That maid was discussing many things. She told them that Rohit was not even ready to stop work for cooking. Rohit was just too much busy in his room.Maid had to go and tell him every time.Then he would order food.He ate them in few minutes and went back to work. That maid was telling that many days Rohit didn't even take bathe.Then he never came early to home.Alex was so shocked to hear,He decided that now he must had to sit and wait. Even that neighbor insisted that Alex must talk with Rohit. Neighbor" I have tried to tell his sister.But she said that she had done enough for her family.She had took care of her Mom all her own.She was no longer ready to do more work.She told me that she had her own family and she is right.She was spending so much hours on her Mom.But I feel Rohit need some help after his Mom's death. And you are best help for him. He never act normal.Just remain stuck in that room.I remember him since childhood. He was never like that Alex you must help him. I feel that it will going to slowly affect to his health." Alex nodded.That day he waited for long time and finally Rohit came. When Rohit saw,he gave different sort of smile. That tired one which was clearly that sad type smile. It was telling every one clearly that he was tired. But he just smiled and he invited them inside house. As soon as Alex and neighbor came inside Rohit sat with them but then in just few moments once again his laptop was out. He was typing on it. Alex sensed that he needed rest.Alex looked pointedly at neighbor who understood that Alex needed privacy.That neighbor made some excuse and went back to his home. When Alex was alone,he slowly forced Rohit to look at him,Alex "Rohit something is wrong. Don't you sense it."Rohit nodded and started crying.But his hands were still typing on laptop. Rohit just couldn't stop typing. Alex "Stop it Rohit."He forcibly took that laptop out of Rohit's hand. It was hard but finally Rohit gave up.Alex "Now this is enough. Tomorrow you are coming to psychiatrist with me."Rohit angrily "I am not mad."But once again he took hold of that laptop.Alex "Fine. I will keep this laptop away from you for five minutes.If you stayed there then you don't need psychiatrist."Rohit nodded.But Rohit just couldn't.Rohit"I just don't understand what is wrong with me?""Come with me to psychiatrist tomorrow.He would help." Next day they went to psychiatrist whom Rohit told every thing in details. Rohit"I just don't get it when I never miss my Mom that much why this is happening to me after her death?""Due to guilt.""What?""You just kept away from her because you are scared of sickness and now you feel guilty because she did every thing for her and you never help her. You did wrong thing and that guilt is hurting you,You are suffering Obesessive-Compulsive Disorder. In this person kept doing some thing again and again like obsession.In your case it is your work because you have used your work to keep away from your duty regarding your Mom. Can I suggest you some thing? ""Sure.""I will do your treatment but I feel that if you helped your sister regarding some work then you will feel better."Rohit nodded.At beginning he just went to psychiatrist but slowly one day he went to his sister where he found that she needed many types of help. But financial help was most important for her. He gave her some money.His sister kept promising that she would give it back.But Rohit was sure that she couldn't but still he said that she could take her own time.Since he knew that she had so much self respect so from that day he started going to her and sometimes he helped her with children.One day he helped her with grocery shopping. But greatest day was that when his sister returned his money, but he didn't took it.Then she gifted him a wrist watch which was best gift for him.Now he never felt that strange need of work because just looking at that watch calm his mind. It was most perfect medicine to him.
