Chaitali was getting ready, one boy was coming to meet  her. She was so excited on every point in life. She was full of hopes that she would find some one with whom.She would spend entire life. She was so happy. She had seen many films which were full of romantic stories.She felt that love was something wonderful. At every episode of film she just kept thinking that every thing nice would happen with her.She would find a wonderful lover inside her husband. She was so sure.She knew that her parents would find best boy for her. But still she had decided that she would also judge him. Even her parents insisted that she should go out with that boy before fixing her marriage. In fact they told her clearly that she must judge it properly. But at same time she felt same pressure building on her. Every one in house was admiring that Boy Sagar on every point. They were suggesting her again and again. That she should not say no to such a rich and well settled boy. She felt that every one was pressurizing her on every point. She was having so much scared in her heart. If she didn't like him what did she suppose to do.But then she thought that why had to think this way. Sagar was must be a nice boy. She felt that it was perfect name Sagar, the sea.She always loved sea from childhood. That sea was her favorite. She used to see those tides and watch them. But then she suddenly felt but she never liked to go inside water. But still she felt that some boy with such nice name must be interesting. She felt that she would like this boy.Suddenly she got once again excited.She began to get ready properly. She did every thing. Her mother and younger sister were guiding her every time. They all felt so surety about it that her younger sister started calling Sagar even Jiju.It was so perfect. Then finally that car came. Sagar came inside her house with her parents. It was so perfect moment. That Sagar was her dream boy.She could hardly found any fault in him. His eyes were as deep as sea. He had fair complexion. He was so handsome that Chaitali felt that he would reject her. She was so scared to hear no from him. She was nervous about it. But then he smiled at her. She suddenly felt as if she was on top of world. She felt that she found that partner for whom she dreamed every day. Then they went in another room of house while their parents kept discussing things just to waste their time. When Sagar started talking,she liked him even more.She was so cooperative.He was not like that others who felt that Chaitali was stupid because she didn't know that much about practical world. He treated her with so much love and respect that Chaitali felt just one thing. She wanted to husband like him so now there was no doubt about Chaitali's view. Question was just regarding Sagar's view when Sagar chatted with her. She sensed yes in his words still she felt so much scared. Her heart was beating so fast due to tension. Specially when his parents told them that they would inform Chaitali and her family tomorrow. If Chaitali said yes then they should call.She just prayed to god that she should get just Sagar as her husband. After all she had fall in love with him at first sight only.
        Next day when Chaitali's Mom called them to ask about Sagar's decision, every one was sitting around her with excitement. Every one was happy with this proposal. Chaitali's parents were happy to see this boy's education and financial status. Chaitali was pleased with every thing about Sagar.She was in love with him. Her sister Sarika also liked Sagar for Chaitali. In her eyes they made perfect couple so they all were excited. When Chaitali's  Mom called and they received yes.They all jumped with joy. Then they decided that Chaitali would meet Sagar on Sunday and they would go to restaurant. They agreed to it. Chaitali was so excited about it. Then suddenly her phone rang. It was Sagar. First he asked that where she was.She told him at home.Then he started discussing it. He started talking about his many types choices.She was lost so much in thinking. That she just started creating list of his choice that she totally forgot his call was so sudden. He started to capture her thoughts. She knew that he was not doing it with intention. But he had that power on her that she just forgot whole world when he was around her. She was just doing every thing to please him. In fact she had changed some of her choices just with one view that was to please Sagar. She was after just one thought that she wanted to adjust with Sagar.She was blindly agreeing with his every word.She never thought once that she had to tolerate it for entire life. In excitement she agreed to meet him at 8 o'clock. But she had to never thought on that point. She had to take permission of her parents.But as soon as she put down her phone,she remembered her parents.She felt so scared.She was sure that her Mom would not permit her.It was so late but she knew that she could not say no to Sagar now.After all she was not going alone Sagar would be with her.They would not go in any lonely place.She was sure that Sagar would take her to some nice restaurant. It would be perfect. She knew that Sagar would take perfect care of her. But she had to convince this to her parents.She decided that she should start this with her Mom. Chaitali"Mom Sagar wanted to meet me at 8 o'clock to night. Can I go?""He is going to pick you up? ""Yes of course Mom.""And at what time he will drop you?""Drop me?""Yes? Don't you ask him that question? Come on Chaitali. How could you forget such important thing?""Sorry Mom.."Then her mobile rang. Sagar was calling her again. Sagar "Where are you?""At home."Now Chaitali felt so confused.He was asking this again and again as if she was travelling somewhere and he had to find destinations. Before she could comment about it, Sagar suddenly changed subject. Sagar "I waited tell you that I will take you to ..."Then he told name of hotel and talked with her Mom.He managed to convince her Mom. Chaitali was so happy whole day she was finding perfect dress for her. She choose best color dress which would look perfect on her face. She started getting ready. She saw herself in mirror.She felt that she was not looking that much perfect at any point. She felt that she was not that much good so she felt that she might look less before Sagar. She was so nervous. She called every one in room, her Mom,her sister,her maid etc. All helped her to get ready after they all wanted her to look perfect.
      When Chaitali got ready, she took approval from every one regarding her looks. But still she was not looking as perfect as she wanted to look. She felt as if something was less. She was nervous then she kept changing her dresses. It all was so exhausting. She just wanted to look best. But she looked worst. Then suddenly door bell rang at 6 o'clock. Every one was so upset due to this disturbance. They didn't want to open that door. Chaitali's Mom" That must be our neighbor." Chaitali "Does she have irritate us like that every time? ""Now don't talk like that. This neighbor was one who helped us every time.Remember she was the one who took out car when you were sick...""I know.. I know Mom I am nervous. That's why I am talking such nonsense.Go and offer her tea and snacks.I will get ready and come out."Yes.That will be fine. I will tell her about your marriage being fixed.""No,,,No..Mom first let me talk with Sagar. What if he rejects me."Chaitali's mother looked confused. But any way she agreed to it and when she went to open the door. Chaitali was so irritated. But then in few seconds her Mom came back. Mom" Chaitali Sagar have come to take you." Chaitali was so shocked. She looked at watch. It was just 6 o'clock. "So early!!I am not ready yet. " Mom " Come on. Come out. You are looking beautiful." " But Mom I am not ready." Maid " Chaitali you have to go. Vahini is right. You are looking beautiful. If you don't go, it will look bad to Sagar. ""But.." "No but...go. Come on." Chaitali felt that her Mom was right. She must not force Sagar to wait for more time. When she went out, Sugar immediately gave her so nice smile that she understood. That she was looking perfect. Sagar" Sorry I came little bit early. I hope you don't mind."" Not at all this way we get more time." Then he immediately took Chaitali with him. His car was so nice and big. Chaitali was so pleased to see it. She wanted some one like that for her. Now she could show off to her friends. She wanted a husband who was rich and clever.She also wanted handsome. Sagar had it all inside himself. She was so sure that she got the best. Chaitali was so happy from inside. She had managed to get things as per her choice. Chaitali "Nice Car.""Thanks.Do you like it? I will get one for you.""But I can't drive.""Then I will keep driver for you. After all just keeping car will not help. On those roads driving cars will not help. Those roads were so much crowded you just can't drive on them. I have to give you a driver.""Driver?""Of course. I will send one tomorrow.""But I can't take things like that.""Why not? I am your to be husband and you are my to be wife. I will give you a car and driver."Then they went in restaurant. It was beautiful. Sagar ordered best food for them. It seemed as if money didn't matter any more.Chaitali was so happy.She felt as if she got every thing in world.They kept chatting. Time passed so easily.Chaitali was shocked when Sagar told her that it was 11 o'clock. It was really strange.She never sensed that she was so much late.Even when she reached home.She felt as if she was walking on air.She was so happy from inside.She felt that whole world was inside her hand. That night she had many wonderful dreams.
      Chaitali was hoping everything would perfect for her. But that night suddenly her phone rang. It was just 3 o'clock. She was so confused. She went to take that mobile. She saw it's number. It was unknown it scared her. She was so confused. At night on 3 o'clock she was so scared. It never happened to her. She never had such a calls. Then she looked carefully at number. She started trying to remember it. If it belonged to someone, she was so confused.She just kept looking at it. She sensed that even Sarika sat on her bed. Sarika " Who was calling at this time?""I don't know. Phone stopped ringing when I went to pick it up." " This is really strange."Chaitali nodded but in her heart she started guessing. But she didn't remember any one except Sagar. But she was so confused. She was sure that Sagar didn't need to do that. It was not love marriage in which they should be scared of rejection. She had agreed to marry him. So he had no  need to phone like that in night. Then she suddenly felt that he might not able to sleep due to her. She started blushing. Sarika was so confused. Sarika "What happened? Who was calling at such night?" "I told you once. I don't know."" Then why are you smiling like that?" "I am doing nothing. Now go to sleep. " Chaitali looked at her mobile. She was so confused. She didn't understand that why she was happy at first. It was really strange. Why any one act like that? She went to sleep but before going to sleep she put her mobile on silence. She didn't want to disturb sleep. But at every point she felt just one thought from inside. In darkness she was so scared of mobile. She decided to get rid of them. At night she heard those rings which were disturbing on every point. She didn't want to answer Sarika. She didn't able to sleep for many hours. But finally she went to sleep. She woke up at morning. Her Mom was tapping on her shoulder. Finally she woke up. She was shocked to see that it was already morning. She looked at watch. It was 8 o'clock. She had to wake up now. But she was feeling so exhausted. She no longer felt fresh. She felt that she must had exhausted her energy. But she didn't understand that why did she felt that way? Any way since she felt that way. Then she just felt that she must look at mobile. She saw that there was 50 missed calls. She was so shocked if some one had called her few times. She could have understood but 50 calls were so strange. Then at morning she was so shocked to see them. Chaitali "Mom look some one called me at night." "At night?" Sarika "Yes Didi's mobile was ringing again and again."" Some one must have made call by mistake. " Chaitali "Mom but for 50 times. It is too much." Now Chaitali's Mom looked at her mobile. She didn't able to identify that number. Chaitali was so upset now. Chaitali "Why did this fellow is giving blank call like that? ""It must be small kid. They just like to tease people like that. " Chaitali smiled. "You are right Mom." Sarika "But should we make police complaint?" Chaitali disliked this idea immediately. Somewhere in her heart she had one feeling that it might be Sagar. She decided to call him. But suddenly on that moment her door bell rang. It was driver and car. Sagar had kept his promise. Chaitali smiled happily so she was free to go anywhere she want to go now. She decided to get ready and go to her friend.
         Chaitali started having strange feeling as if she was watched. She noticed that her driver was telling her every moment to Sagar. Finally Chaitali asked "Why are you informing your sir again and again about our destination?"" Sir told me to tell him. Since he felt that I just sit here and then ask for my pay." Chaitali smiled. She just liked Sagar's attitude. He seemed so practical. She was so happy on that day. But at night once again she started receiving those calls and she was looking so much upset. Then next morning Chaitali once again told her Mom about those calls. Her Mom told her to ignore them. After all they were busy in preparing for their engagement. At every time Chaitali went to which ever shop. She noticed that driver was informing her of every step. She sensed that something was wrong. Then while walking on road she suddenly saw her cousin. They were like brother and sister from childhood so they started chatting freely. Then in few moment she felt happiness from inside because her brother was teasing her about Sagar but then suddenly one car came before her. She looked at car. It was Sagar's car. Sagar came out of it and screamed. Sagar "Who is this fellow?" Sagar was saying it in such way that it was clear. He was taking doubt on Chaitali. When Chaitali told him that this fellow was her cousin. Sagar gave one forced smile. Sagar "It is your fault. You should have shown me all your male relatives. I will get doubts. Now don't get upset. I will come tomorrow and see your family album." Then he went away. Her cousin "Chaitali something is wrong with this man. Are you sure that you want to marry him? " First time Chaitali began to doubt her decision. Sagar was really strange and she sensed that she hardly knew him. But they were getting engaged tomorrow. And she couldn't cancel it for such a small reason. She was so shocked. Next day they got engaged. In whole engagement ceremony Sagar was holding her hand in strange way. Chaitali slowly started feeling pains in her hand. She sensed as if she was jailed bird. She wanted to go away from Sagar. Finally when that ceremony was over and Sagar went out.She took breath of relief. First time she sensed that she was doing something wrong with her life. She was marrying Sagar just for outside look and money. But she never thought one thing that was his nature. Some thing was wrong with him. She started looking at her engagement ring. She just kept looking then she decided that next day. She would gave it back to him. She was not going to marry and she would tell it to her family and to Sagar tomorrow. Next day when she told it, there was lot of abusing and cursing on her by parents. But still she just kept firm on her ground. She went in that car. She knew one thing about that car now. It was not gift from Sagar but it was just for spying on her. She went at Sagar's house. She told them every thing directly. Then suddenly unexpected thing happened. Sagar threw flower pot on her. It hit her on head. She was so shocked. But his servant took hold of him so it was clear that they all knew every thing about his madness. Chaitali was so shocked. She just ran out. She left her ring and car keys behind. When she reached home, by then her parents were waiting for her. Her Mom took her inside her room and did dressing. Then slowly her Mom told her "Sagar's Mom called her to tell us that Sagar was suffering from Paranoid Schizophrenia and he acted this way. He was always doubtful regarding every relation including his parents. She said that he was sorry. He acted that way. She told us that he was admitted again to hospital after this so we must not file police complaint against it. It was her personal request."" Again?!! Mom he was a mad person. I can't believe it. What would have happened if I have married to him? " "Now forget it. We are no longer related to him. Just ignore it all." Her Mom left out her room. Chaitali was so shocked. In few days Chaitali managed to grow up from inside. Now she didn't want just powerful husband with money. She was to find some one who understand her and first she wanted to develop her identity. Money was important but identity was more important than money. It must be some thing you build by your own act. Not some thing which you received by some one else because it would be just borrowed gift like that car which Chaitali finally had to return.
                                                                   The End
