Adventure story 184. Victim

                                                                   Victim        
Tarun began to walk while enjoying music. It was so nice. It was just perfect. He wanted to reduce his weight. He was getting fat step by step. He needed to take walk. But he was no longer used to walking. His legs felt such a pain that he had to sit. He had just started walking in that garden. He was so confused that he was getting breathless so easily. He wanted to walk but he just couldn't. But still he forced himself to take two rounds. Then he just had to give up. He just couldn't able to breathe any longer. Everyone was watching him. Finally a young boy looked at him and said "Uncle you are sweating so much. I feel you have to relax a little bit. You must sit." Tarun was so upset when some one called him Uncle. He didn't want to be called Uncle. He still wanted to feel as if he was young person. But he was no more young. In fact he was never that much fast even when he was young person. Even at that time he used to walk slowly. He just never able to ran that fast. Running was never his strong point. He had to accept it and had to sit on one seat. He sat on that seat of garden which was located in corner of garden. He sat on that seat. He start watching in garden. It was really perfect morning. Every thing in that garden was so fresh and perfect. It was so enchanting weather which would touch his mind. He just wished that he was not exercising instead of that he was enjoying weather. He started looking around. In garden he located small children who were playing in corner. They were so cute. He loved specially one thing out of them. That boy was so cute and innocent looking. He had so attractive eyes. That small boy was cute. Tarun suddenly felt that he should give that boy a small chocolate. But then he sensed that it was not possible. That boy would not take his chocolate and even it was possible that other people would beat him. When he thought about it, he started laughing. He could really imagined that what would Sujata's his wife's expression. If he returned home this way, she was going to be so shocked and his daughter would keep screaming with shock. Sujata would never understand that her simple husband tried to kidnap a boy. She would surely ask him that instead of kidnapping why did he join business of her brother or took money from her Papa. She was still in love with her Papa only. She just kept admiring her Papa all time. She wanted Tarun to become like her Papa. A great human being and perfect man in eyes of Sujata. But in Tarun's eyes every thing was different. Her Papa was too bossy. Her Papa was not even that much honest in business. It was not as if his business was something illegal. But he never supplied proper goods. Tarun always noticed those goods which kept in his shop were substandard one. He sensed that it was of inferior quality. He could never cheat some one like that. He saw his father-in-law many times cheating people. It really hurt his heart so he would never did it. But his wife never understood him so their arguments always continued. But he knew that giving chocolate to that small boy was wrong thing so he just kept looking at him from corner.
         Then Tarun suddenly sensed that he was getting late. He decided that he must not try for more walking. It was hard for him since he had to go in office in working condition. If he kept walking he knew that his Boss would surely get angry with him after seeing his condition. It was so wrong thing. He just had to reduce weight but he didn't have time for it. When Tarun reached in his home, he started screaming Sujata's name. He wanted his breakfast immediately. Sujata started cooking it. So in few moments his breakfast was ready. Sujata was so perfect in every way. Tarun never understood that how did she manage it all so perfectly. But he always managed to reach office just on time. As soon as his breakfast was over, he immediately started going to office. He was thinking about his new project. He was so busy in just thinking about it. He started  waiting for bus. When he sensed that it was going to be late, he started internet on his android. He began to work on it. But when he was working, he was so busy in it. Then he suddenly felt a pain on head. He touched his head and his whole was bathed in blood. It was so horrible. He screamed with full speed. He sensed that his precious mobile and papers were falling on ground. But he didn't care any more. He just wanted to reduce that pain. Then he saw many people came running towards him. He just hoped that they would help him. He just wanted to reduce pains. But that didn't happen his pains just increased on every step and finally he fainted. When he wake up, he saw hospital room. It was not one of those private posh hospital. He was in normal government hospital so his family couldn't able to shift him. It just indicated that he was serious and of course there was that oxygen mask on his face. Those pain due to syringe which were stuck to his arms on many places. Those pains were so hard but nothing before pain in his head, But still he wanted to call some one, he looked around a nurse was sitting on one side.She was trying to stay awake. But still her eyes were just shutting down. He wanted to ask her about it. But with his oxygen mask he just couldn't able to do any thing. It was worst for him. He just kept moving his hand but nurse didn't pay any attention. He was so scared. He felt as if he was going to be caged like that. Then he noticed that his brother was looking inside. He moved his fingers and tried to take up his hand. But his brother smiled gestured him to stop and ran away. He just did not understand that why did his brother went away. He felt so shocked. His brother had to be with him instead of that his brother left him. He started moving away with full speed. But then he saw that a doctor came inside with nurse. That nurse who was sleeping was awake now. Doctor screamed on her " How many times I told you that you must not sleep in ICU like this!! You are nurse of this ICU." Nurse "I was not sleeping Doctor. I was just relaxing." Then she looked with anger towards Tarun's brother. " I was just relaxing Doctor and this patient's relative thought that I was sleeping. They always act like that. Never understand we are also human being." Tarun was so angry. He wanted to scream on her. But his brother did that for him. His brother began screaming but Doctor got angry. Doctor "This is hospital not vegetable market. Stop screaming. " His brother stopped screaming.His brother apologized and looked at Tarun with look which told him that he was doing every thing just so that Tarun should fine. Tarun felt so sad. He had to tolerate it.He wanted to be fine so this hospital was his need.
         Each day in that hospital seemed so hard to Tarun as if it was century. He was so shocked and upset. When he got little bit okay, Police came to take his statement. But his statement was fully useless. He just couldn't believe that some woman came from behind and hit him on head. He never knew any woman who could had anger on him. He told this to Police. But Police were not convinced. They all felt that he was lying. He sensed that even Sujata was doubting him. At beginning Sujata didn't say anything but he was recovered and came back. She asked him "Do you have affair with that woman? " " What are you talking? Which woman? " "The one who hit you." Now Tarun was so shocked. First that lady hit him with stone mercilessly and now every one wanted to put blame on him. Tarun could sense that he just couldn't control his anger. His head was paining. He started screaming on Sujata "So you feel that I have affair with her and she hit me because I have cheated her and you. So every thing will be just blamed on me. What a nice decision!! Police didn't want to do efforts so they are blaming me. But what about you? Of course you don't trust your husband who worked for you day and night. But you feel that he was enjoying time in some girl's arm. You never understand how much I have worked for you.." Then Tarun started throwing away things in room. Sujata just escaped from those things. But then one thing hit her. He just got so nervous. He tried to go near her. But he got blank. He fainted. He didn't manage to understand if he hit Sujata hard. He wanted so much to help her. When he woke up, he was once again in hospital. He started repeating Sujata's name. Then Doctor called Sujata. There was bandage on her head. Tarun started crying. Tarun " I am so..rr..y." He wanted to speak normally. But he just didn't manage to.Sujata came near him. Sujata "Relax. It all happened due to your wound. Don't worry. You will be fine. Just relax." "I can't .. con.." Doctor "We know you are getting angry.But it is due to this operation. Slowly with medicine you will be fine. Just try to take it easy." Then they gave him injection. He slept peacefully. Tarun was so relaxed in his sleep. But when he woke up, once again he was so upset by all this. Tarun was just interested in apologizing to Sujata who kept telling him that it was not his mistake. He had so hard time in healing. It was so hard to control anger when pain began to rise. On every point he felt just one thing that why did he had to suffer this way. He just kept asking this to Sujata who was fully convinced after his outburst that he was not having affair. Every part of his life seemed to had turned upside down. It was only his luck that he was not terminated from job. They gave him unpaid sick leave after seeing his work before this incidence. But they all were irritated by police inquiry. Even Tarun was frustrated  by it. Police were showing him that photo of unknown woman whom he hardly knew. Slowly Tarun sensed one thing that his case was going to be just another unsolved case for police. So he went ahead with life.
        It was so hard for Tarun to recover after that accident. But worst part was that since that accident. Those memories were creating effect on him. He just never able to get out. He had to go to office so he went there. Then he immediately returned to his home as soon as his office work was over. He never stopped anywhere .Things were no longer normal for him. Sujata many times suggested that they should go to picnic but he just permitted her and his daughter to go. He never went with them. He was so scared of going out. Slowly his house became his own cage. He was scared of that woman. He was scared that she would hit him again and he would paralysed this time. He felt death was better than becoming burden on his family. He dreamed this situation again and again since Doctor told him. That he was luck to escape this way. He had risk of paralysis. He was so scared that he felt sacrificing little bit of freedom was better than getting paralysis and forgetting whole freedom. He started staying inside his home only. His home was safe place for him. He just wanted to stay at home. At beginning Sujata felt that slowly he would began to go outdoor again. After all he was best hiker. She was sure that she didn't had to do anything. He would once again start it by himself. But when he didn't show any interest. She came with another plan. She brought a voucher of a travel agency in which they planned a picnic near by in which small children could come. Tarun was upset after seeing that voucher. He started to reject idea when his small daughter came in room and started jumping with joy. Tarun felt just one thing on every point then he sensed one thing that small daughter needed that picnic and if he wanted to become good father. He had to control his fear. Tarun changed his mind and said " Great I agree with you all. I have not went to some picnic for many days." Tarun wanted to go for picnic. He didn't want to but his family needed it. He had to go for picnic. He agreed with smile. But Sujata sensed it. Sujata was helpful towards him whole time. He started packing his things but he was so scared from heart. He started even taking weapon for that picnic. He wanted his safety. He wanted to keep himself safe. But when he started searching for knife. Sujata brought paper spray. Sujata " Keep this one. If you keep weapon, it will not be safe with such a little daughter." Then Tarun smiled. Tarun " Thanks Sujata." "For what?" "For understanding my fears." "Come on. Any one can get scared after such a experience." "I just want to be safe." Sujata smiled and gave paper spray. During that picnic Tarun was not that normal. He just kept getting scared at beginning but then slowly he started enjoying things. Bu whole time he made sure about one thing that paper spray was with him. He was never that much relaxed. But when he returned back slowly he began to relax on each step. He began to move ahead in life.
          While moving ahead once again Tarun started his old habits, he noticed it when he stood on weighing scale. He needed to go for walk. He knew that it was hard for him. But he had to do it. On that day he decided to take slow walk. It just suited to him. He started walking with relax feel. It seemed so nice. He began to complete his rounds. Then he noticed a man just like him. He sensed that it must be his first day. He was just like him looking around. In that garden were small children were playing. Tarun smiled. But then he saw that same woman who had hit him on head. He was so shocked. He clicked her photo immediately and called Police and send them photo. They told him that he must not approach her or let her see him. He totally agreed with them. He was not going to take risk of following her. But he was not also going to let her out of his sight. He wanted punishment for her. She had destroyed his social life. He could no longer a common person to his friend. After that attack every one was looking at him with doubts. As if he had done big crime, since that case never got solved. Every one had feeling that Tarun must had done something so he kept following her. He was victim but he became culprit in people's eyes. He saw that she took a small boy. That boy looked to him as if someone he had seen before. Then he remembered that it was same boy whom he had seen on day of walking. He was so confused. That lady was acting so nicely. He just began to feel that he might had mistaken. But then he suddenly saw that this woman left that boy in car. Then she started walking. She went in one corner. She started looking at stones. Then she chose one rock. She smiled. In her smile Tarun sensed that something was totally wrong. She must had planned something. It could be seen in her eyes. She was no longer that caring woman. She started walking fast. Then Tarun saw that a man was coming. She suddenly hide in corner. Tarun saw that man was same person who was sitting just like him on bench. Then Tarun understood that she was going to hit him. Tarun screamed "Run." Even before he realized. That man ran away as fast as he could. But that woman did not stop. She started running after him. Tarun also started running because he was not sure what that woman could do to him. He was so scared. Even when they were two men and they could get help still they just ran away from her. Public was looking at them with confusion. Public was confused that who was criminal. Tarun was so scared that public might think that they were criminal. When they heard siren, Police came and arrested that woman. She was screaming so loudly that Tarun felt that he would become deaf. But two lady officer took hold of her. She went away but whole time she was claiming that they were tried to kill her child. Then Police came to Tarun and asked about child. Tarun showed them car. When Police went there, driver was already standing out. When they asked driver, driver told them that she was care taker of that boy. Every one was so shocked. Then real mother of that boy came, she was so shocked that her son was under care of some mad woman. That day Tarun gave statement and another man also gave statement. Their case was started in court. It was even came in paper. But it was not in big way just in small column in corner. All other part of paper was just about celebrities. That was specialty of media. They just ran after celebrity even when celebrity were not interested and then claim that they got VIP treatment. After all Tarun told every thing with full interest. But they were interested in discussing some celebrities personal life. They didn't had page to waste on Tarun's crime story. But that was enough for Tarun because it had cleared him. Then in court every thing came out. That woman was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. She just kept thinking that some one would harm things or person dear to her. Psychiatrist clearly advised her not to take job. But her family didn't want to provide her so they send her on job. In which she seemed perfect. Her family member felt that she was perfect and that psychiatrist was fool. It was so horrible. But it all had happened just due to ignorance of her family. Any way Tarun was relaxed that finally that chapter was over. That psychiatrist told him with guarantee that she would not come after him. Since she was no longer interested in them. Tarun was happy but at same time he felt scared that after whom she would go next time. But psychiatrist told her that there were chances that when she came out.She was no longer that much capable. Tarun wanted to ask why but he didn't want to discuss further. He just nodded and went away.
