Adventure story 210. Taunts

                                                                  Taunts
Jai was sitting in college. He studied in best way but his mind was just wandering regarding his problem in house. His Dad was his biggest trouble. He just always kept screaming that he must score highest in each examination. He studied his best but still he just couldn't get that studious. He also needed his life and any way it was not possible. He was not that intelligent. It had to be in brain to became that top. He just wanted to enjoy life but his Dad just kept pestering him. Whenever he came before him he just started asking him and his future plans. Jai just wanted to wait and see his marks. Then he could decide about future. He had not prepared any plans. But his Dad wished a perfect set of plans. He just wanted to get things in right way. But they couldn't happen this easily. He was so frustrated by this. He just wanted to get rid of it all. He just began to sense that if he kept on going like that then one day he would become totally mad. He just wished that his Dad stop it. But he knew that no one was going to advice it to him. Since his Dad was bread earner of family, he just couldn't find any help against him. He just wished only if he could go to some hostel. But he knew that it would not be easy, after all he was not some scholar who could get admission in any college and his Dad was not going to spend so much money on him. He was just one big failure in eyes of his Dad. On that spot suddenly his friend Shishir came. Shishir "Jai where are you? I was looking around for you for so long time." Jai looked so confused. Now a days Shishir hardly spoke with any one. Shishir was just obsessed with his music. Jai had noticed so many times, Shishir in their college's music room. Jai was not that much fan of music. But Shishir was his friend since school so he just went to few concert with view to give company to Shishir. Shishir "Why don't you listen to this?" He pushed headphones towards Jai. Jai smiled and forced to use them. He put those headphones in ear and music started entering in his ears. That music just touched his soul. He just sensed one thing. Few moments ago he was in world's biggest misery and now he was on top of the world. When Jai was enjoying music with headphones, he just loved them. They took him to his new world without any tension. He just decided that the person who had invented them was best scientist of this world. He just started hearing those songs and all troubles just vanished. He never sensed that it could be that such a big miracle for his life. He could easily guess now why did his friend Shishir ignored him for music. He knew that he just loved that music. He must kept hearing it specially to avoid those stress which was entered by his father.
    Then after some time Shishir touched Jai's shoulder. Shishir " Now give it back to me." Jai nodded. He just wanted to hear but he knew that he must give it back. He gave it and once again returned to his normal life. He just wanted to understand every point of his mind. He was trying so hard to understand it. But still he seemed to be too confused inside his mind regarding every point. He just wanted to absorb himself in music. But he knew that for it. He just needed those headphones and one radio. He knew that not just radio. He needed that kind of radio which was so interesting and nice. Then he sensed that it was not radio and it was android. It was so special. He could sensed that it was costly android. He just didn't understand if he needed it so much on every point of life. He had just one desire from mind. It was to have that android in his hands. But it was too costly. He knew that his Dad never gave him that much money. He was so confused now. He just wanted that android to get music in his life. He wanted nothing else but that music. He decided to talk to his Mom. He was so impatience on that day in college that he just ran without asking about android. He just forgot to ask about price. But when he reached home, he just ran to Mom. Jai "Mom can  you give me a android?" "What?" "A android. Mobile that can be operated by touch of fingers." His Mom seemed to understood this. Mom " But do you know how to use it? " "Mom how can I learn without using it? Can any one learn to drive a bike without driving one?" "I know..I know. But what is it's cost? I have to ask Dad if it is too costly." "Come on Mom. He will never say yes to it." " But? " "Can't you do this for me?" "Okay..Okay. But what is it's price? " Now on first time Jai sensed his mistake. He had not asked about price. He was so upset. He was so stupid. Now how did he convince his Mom about it. It was his golden opportunity to do it. He was so sure that he would had to know the price. He ran towards phone. He started calling Shishir. But his mobile just told to be switched off. Then suddenly his mobile rang. His another friend was calling. He was so upset. He just wanted to reject that call. But he knew that it would look bad so he took that mobile. His friend " Have you heard that news?" "What news?" " But Shishir was your best friend?" "What are you talking? Shishir is my best friend. We don't broke up our friendship. We never fought." "Ohh I know that. It is not about your friendship." "Then?" His friend took a tense pause and he sensed something was wrong. He screamed " Tell me what happened?" Once again after long pause finally his friend spoke " Shishir died in an accident. We are all going to see his body for last time before burning. Are you coming?" Jai just couldn't believe it. " Are you sure? This is not some kind of rumour." "No..it is on news.""What?" Jai said it so loudly. That his Mom came out running. After hearing about news she started television. But Jai stopped her. " Mom just stop it. I will have to go." He just started running. But in his heart he knew that Shishir was dead. He was crying slowly. He wanted those headphones to forget all this now. He knew that he couldn't get them. But he decided that he started to need it.
      Jai was so shocked when he saw that media crowd. Shishir wanted to be famous but he was sure not this way. Then suddenly one of their professor came out towards them. That professor " So now you student should learn lesson from this? I hope you got the point." Jai was so confused. He just didn't understand why did professor was screaming on them. Then professor turned towards Jai "You are the one who was last seen with his head phones. You must hear it. Those head phones killed him." "What?" "He was walking on road with them in ears. You have to understand such a things can kill you. I hope you got that point. You will going to dead like him if you act that way. Jai you got it in your head. Never wear those headphones. Okay?" Jai was so shocked. Those head phones managed to kill him. He was so shocked. Then they went inside after pushing the crowd. Shishir's body was little bit injured but he was looking some one who was sleeping peacefully. He no longer looked that much tense. Jai remembered his anxiety which he felt when he saw Shishir on last time. But it was just vanished. It was really strange. Death had took away all his troubles out of his life. It was so strange that he was looking so peaceful on that death. Even when every one around him was crying, Jai felt strange of peace. His Mom was crying and his Dad was also crying loudly. Jai felt a strange sense of happiness. These were Shishir's parents who were never nice to him when he was alive. They were always kept abusing him.Their abuses turned Shishir towards music. Shishir tried his best to get good marks and do his best but his parents never seemed to be satisfied. Jai wanted to scream on them that they killed Shishir. Jai wanted to tell whole world that they were responsible for his death not those innocent head phones. He wanted to scream on them. But then suddenly his professor took him away from there. That professor "Now go home. Take auto. I don't want any of you to get hurt. I just feel lose of one student is enough for me." Jai remembered that same professor was always taunting Shishir when he was alive regarding his less marks. Suddenly Shishir seemed to turn into angle by death. Jai was so confused on every point. Every one was telling him that death was worst thing but it seemed as if death was looking so much great all tensions were vanished in few moments. It was so nice. But Jai couldn't just talk about it to any one. He knew that no one would understood it. But as soon as he went home, his parents were waiting for him. His Dad "What happened? " He told every thing to him. His Dad " He was such a nice boy. All wasted just because of those headphones. Jai you are not getting them." Jai was so upset by this. He just screamed " I will not use them on road. Come on. Head phones are nothing. You can attach them with any mobile..." "Stop lecturing me. Give me your head phones." Jai was so confused. Jai never kept one since he was not interested in them. Jai "I don't have one." His Dad looked happy. His Dad " Go and study. That Shishir is dead but you are alive so make proper use of this life. Do something worthy.." Then his Dad started telling him that how useless he was. Jai was so upset by all this. He just wanted to be on place of Shishir. Death!!  It seemed like a welcome concept to him. It took Shishir always from troubles and towards peace. He just wanted to be there on that death bed. But he was standing before his parents and he was perfect and alive.
     From that day every day Jai started reading about just one concept that was death. He just read every book on after death experience and about coma. He saw that coma was just near death thing. But it was worst. While doing this he was obsessed with it that he just began ignore studies. And no one sensed any difference, since his Mom saw book in his hand every day. She hardly ever showed interest in subjects of book. His Dad was also too busy to notice name of book so he just kept getting more and more knowledge about death. But he hardly studied any thing from his academic books. When his time table announced, he came to senses. Then he started studying hard. But it was too late. He could sensed that he just couldn't cover all subjects. But still he tried so hard. He just kept studying for day and night. Then finally on day of examination he wrote his paper. He was so tense. But finally results came out. He had managed to get good marks. He didn't score any thing less. He was so happy. His hard work on last days paid perfectly. He had even manage to top in some subject. But still he didn't manage to get enough marks in his Dad's eyes. As soon as he showed his marks, his Dad started screaming on him. Not because of his marks but because he forgot his umbrella in college. Suddenly his marks didn't seem to show any thing good for him. His Dad " You just never understand value of things." Mom "Come on. Look at his marks. He studied hard this time." "Yes, but have you seen those book about death on which he had wasted his time." Jai was shocked so his Dad spied on his things and in his room. Jai " But I have scored good." " I know but you could have scored excellent. But you have wasted your time on those nonsense books." His Dad began to threw away his books. It was worst for him. He just felt so shocked even after getting such a good marks. He received just screams. He decided that his studies about death was better. He knew that he wanted to die then he suddenly remembered those headphones. He just ran out of house. His Mom was screaming his name but he just didn't care. He wanted to get rid of this all and most important was one fact. He wanted to hear some music. He just bought one pair of headphones from a hawker. He attached them to his mobile and started searching for music on radio. He just kept them loud enough that he would not hear any thing else. He just wanted to get so involved in music. That he just didn't understood what was going around. He just kept walking on main road. With one hope from mind that one car or truck would hit him and every thing would be over. He was waiting for a pain which would be last pain of his life and after that pain finally his life would be over. He just kept walking. He was just so busy in his music so involved that slowly he managed to lost sense of reality. He managed to forget world around him. At every point he just felt one thing that he needed to forget every step of life. He just got so much involved in that music. He just didn't sense any thing until finally he pushed away from a hand. But he just started to understand on each point just one thing he loved that music.
      It was time of traffic. All car drivers were shocked to see a boy walking in middle of road. They tried hard to convince him to go. But he just kept going. Finally traffic police man decided to take hold of that boy. When he took hold of his hand, Jai sensed for first time that his plan had failed. But still he just wanted to hear that music. He kept screaming on traffic police. Finally they took him to police station but he just kept screaming for headphones. Every one came. He was not even scared of his Dad any more. It all turned in totally wrong way. He was just out of control. Finally a psychiatrist called. Psychiatrist " So your son is obsessed with headphones?" "No..No. I never let him use one." "What? Your son never used one." "Yes." His Dad started telling him every thing while psychiatrist convinced him to take tablets to relax. Jai did that and went to sleep. "My god. You have put too much pressure on  your son. That started depression in him. Then he started feeling happy with music. But when his friend Shishir died. He started to suffer from posttraumatic symptoms in life. He never wanted to hear music. He just wanted to kill himself." Dad "But I did it for his good." "You can't achieve good by pushing a person. You have to motivate not dictate. But many people just don't understand that difference and it would cause that trouble. Don't worry. I will teach him to relax step by step. But I just want to spend few hours just with him. But I don't want your interference in it." Jai's Dad didn't like that idea but he couldn't say any thing since Police was looking at him with anger. Police " Now don't interfere. If your son come here again then I will lock him." Jai's Dad nodded. But in heart psychiatrist knew that as soon as Jai went home, his Dad would start to screaming on Jai. Psychiatrist would start to plan in heart that how did he would convince Jai to adjust. He spoke with Jai for long time. Jai was happy to hear those things. He was providing real solutions to Jai not those temporary solution like headphones. It was having so much effect on our mind. He needed to move ahead at each step with just one thought that he must find proper way to please his Dad in life. But that psychiatrist convinced him that he needed to find way to please himself not his Dad. He needed to move ahead at every point. He wanted to understand to those thoughts which were appealing to him. He decided that he had accept that his Dad was just in that way by nature. He could never please him then only he could sense happiness from mind. He had to move ahead with each step with just one hope that was hope of happiness but after ignoring his Dad's comments. He went home at beginning. He felt hurt but slowly step by step with help of his psychiatrist he just learned to ignore them. Slowly those comments began to hurt him less and less. After some days they hurt him but still he had to learn to become angry for few hours and then he ignored them. He couldn't just forget them immediately but slowly they began to turn into just small obstacles in his eyes on each day.He began to learn to live his life in his own way with happy thoughts and hopes for him and future in life.
