                                                            Scared mind                                                              Ritika was nervous in her heart. She used to cook every day. But today her father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming. She had to do it best. She started doing every thing in best way. She start measuring all things. She took out every thing for measurement. She started counting it all when she sensed that measurement glass was missing from kitchen. She was so tense on every point. She started to search in kitchen. She sensed that measurement glass required. Ritika started to going out when suddenly her daughter Kiran came inside. Ritika looked at her with tense expression. She couldn't keep her 13 years old daughter in home for such long time. She couldn't understand it. She started to measure those things but glass was required. She was so confused. Kiran sensed her expressions. Kiran " What happened?" " I want glass to measurements.It will have different measurements which are needed to make best food." " But you cook best every day without it." " I know but this is special day. Your grand parents were coming." " Ya. I know you want best when guests come home. But why are you so tense? They will never going to admire any of it. They just always keep complaining about every thing." "Now don't talk like that about them. They are just little bit choosy that all. No need to make big thing out of nothing. Any way can you stay home without me while I will buy a measuring glass from market?" " Sure Mom no problem." Then Ritika started giving instruction to Kiran who heard it all and just nodded. Ritika went in room to get ready. She was so confused. She just didn't understand what did she suppose to wear while going in market. She didn't want to embarrassed before people. She wanted to be perfectly dressed. She started looking at her dress. At first she selected a simple dress. She started wearing it. But she began to feel that she was looking like some servant. In fact her maid wore better dress than her. She started to choose another. It was so much shiny that it looked as if she was going to some marriage. She just kept changing her dresses until finally Kiran  came in room. "Mom what are you doing?Just wear some dress and go." "I know. I am confused." "About what? Just choose one dress? Let me help you." Kiran gave her a dress. Ritika started wearing that dress. She started looking at mirror. She began to dress in perfect way. She sensed that Kiran's advice was perfect. She was suddenly so glad. She knew that her daughter Kiran was intelligent. She could always help her. She was so glad to have her side. She began to started dressing before mirror. She started to looking at those looks. It all seemed so nice. She started going to market. She began to go search for those measurement glasses. She just didn't find it. She began to move from one shop to another shop. She started to searching for measurement glasses. But she didn't find those glasses. She started to search those instruments. But she wanted to buy those measurement glass and they didn't seem to be find them. It was worst day for her. She just had to search everywhere. She started to understand that she couldn't get it. She started to calling her husband Tushar who didn't took her phone. Then she decided to call her daughter Kiran. It was so hard. She just didn't get any help since Kiran also didn't pick up phone so she finally went home and she was sure from heart that her cooking would be worst but she just had to do it.
      Ritika started cooking. She did every thing in her best way. She could sense that she tried her best. But she just kept trying until end. Then she looked around. Her kitchen and whole house needed cleaning. She started doing it all. Kiran was looking so shocked. Her Mom just kept working. Kiran even tried to help her on some point. But it was clear that Ritika was doing every thing a bit too much. Kiran decided that she must stop her. Kiran " Mom I think every thing is perfect just relax. Even Grandmother have to accept it this time. Trust me." Ritika smiled and patted on Kiran's cheek. " My sweet daughter thanks for having so much confidence in me. But I have to clean this house also." "But Mom you can't clean whole house in just one day after cooking so much food. You are not superwoman." " I am not but still you can see today that your Mom is nothing less." Then Ritika kept working hard and hard on every point. Finally it was over. Then she looked at time. It was time for them to go and fetch their guests. She called Kiran who was already ready. Kiran even took out one nice saree for her. She dressed in her best way. Then they both ran out. After long efforts they finally found Auto which was empty and willing to take them. Then they finally reached to railway station. She saw that train and had just arrived. She ran inside with Kiran but then she noticed that her father-in-law was coming out with coolie. She went to him with smile and touched his feet. Her father-in-law " Don't do it on railway station? It looks so odd. " Ritika was so nervous. Kiran was about to bow but then she changed her place. She just remained standing on her own place. Then her mother-in-law came out. Ritika gave smile. But her mother-in-law screamed " Have you forgotten our culture? Like touching feet of elder." Ritika was so confused. Kiran " But Grandpa said we must not do it on station in public like that." Ritika's mother-in-law looked at her husband in anger. " He just kept saying wrong thing. No need to listen those things. Our culture is that thought which must be followed on every step. Kiran you are young girl but your Mom suppose to know it." Ritika nodded and touched. Kiran " But grandpa was most elder so we have to listen to him don't we? Mom did right thing by obeying him." Her Mother-in-law " Kiran is acting so wrong way. She is so arrogant. Ritika you just never understand how to grow a daughter." Ritika was so nervous. She began to shiver and cry slowly. Her mother-in-law became more upset. " Why are you creating such big scene? You want to show whole world how evil we are? We let you like your life as per your choice but I never accepted such a way of talking from my own grand daughter. You have spoiled her." Her father-in-law came back. "Enough. I got Taxi. Let's go." Her Mother-in-law went ahead in anger. But Kiran developed one immediately dislike towards her grand parents. She decided that she might stay out of their way and let her Mom handle it because her every step seem to just manage disaster for her Mom. She just kept behind. While Ritika followed her mother-in-law like some slave with her eyes down and without looking in her eyes. She just kept looking at her feet. Kiran felt that it was really strange but she knew that this was elder's matter so she decided not to talk with them.
      Then as soon as Ritika came home, she started obeying every order whichever she get from her mother-in-law. It was really strange. She was working like some robot. Kiran never saw her Mom this way. Her Mom was sweet and nice. But she never looked so much under pressure. She was doing every thing just as her grand parent's wish. She was not even stopping for moment. When finally they went in room to relax, Kiran managed to get some time to talk with her Mom. Kiran " Mom why are you acting like that?" " Like what?" "As if you are without feelings, they are insulting you." " I know but they are elders. But any way I just don't remember those insults at all. Ritika smiled. Kiran felt that her Mom lying. It was not right. Her Mom was getting bossed. Kiran wanted to rebel from heart but then her Mom came back to her. " Kiran and you must not insult them." "But they keep abusing you." "It doesn't matter. I just want you to behave. You must not insult them. Just try to be nice with them." " Mom I will do just as you told me but still in my heart I feel that this is all wrong." " I know. But you need to understand. You can't insult them." "Why?" "Because they own every thing we have." Kiran was confused. Kiran " Mom I don't understand." " I don't want to go in details. Just understand one thing. They are going to stay with us and they own this house so if we want to stay here. You have to obey." "But where is Dad?" " He didn't took my phone." " I just don't understand.." "Kiran try to understand your father is not in touch with me. He is not interested in us." This was shocking for Kiran. She never sensed that her father was going so much away them. She just always thought that he was busy. She even called him few times. He talked nicely with her. Kiran " But he chatted with me nicely." There was tears in Ritika's eyes. Ritika " But did he send any money to you?" " I never ask." "Then ask for it. He will not take your next call." Kiran was so shocked. She never thought about her Dad in that way. She always just assumed that he was with her. She just always had one feeling that he would bring happiness in her world. He would take her every responsibility. It was so strange that her Dad was not even involved in her that much. It was really shocking for her mind. She never thought this way. Her Dad was cheating  her. Kiran " I don't understand what do you mean?" " I feel that your Dad might not taking my mobile since he want to leave me and you. I just feel that your grand parents had come to stay here. If we behaved nicely then they will let us live here and if we don't then they will throw us out of house. " Kiran was so shocked. She started crying. She began to call Tushar. He didn't even took her phone. Just his bell kept ringing. It was too much. She started crying. She couldn't imagine her life without father and with those grand parents. She heard those voices which were telling that they were abusing and taunting her. Kiran just didn't able to guess why did her Dad did that. She just wanted to tell him that he had managed to destroy her life. But she couldn't since he didn't pick up his phone. She was so upset. She just kept calling him again and again. But finally she started crying. She didn't even sensed that she missed her school due to this.
   From that day Ritika started working every day like slave for her grand parents. She started working hard. She began to move on their every word. Even Kiran started obeying them. It was so wrong. But still they kept doing it. Finally one day Kiran's grand parents went back to their home. Kiran was so shocked. She was in school when her grand parents went away. Kiran " Mom they are gone?" She started laughing. " It was our lucky day. " " Why?" "They are going to take our home." Ritika gave her strange smile. " How can they? I mean this house is on your Dad's name." " I know. But you said that Dad is going to left us." " Now..no need to mention it. It is all a confusion but you force me to bow before those crazy people." " Shut up. You are supposed to give respect to your grandparents." " This is too much. I will talk to Dad." Then her Mom fall on her feet and started begging to her. It was so embarrasing. She just didn't like it. But she started sensing that she could not let her stay this way. Kiran " Ok..fine..but from now I never want you to repeat it." Ritika hugged her and started apologizing. From that day Ritika started to run on Kiran's every voice. It was so strange. Kiran wanted her Mom to be normal but she was acting more and more abnormal every day. She was scared of every thing. When Ritika saw harsh sun, she started screaming that it might hurt them due to heat so she wanted to stay inside. But she was not even happy in cold weather or rainy weather. She just managed to found problem in each and every weather. It was really strange. She just never understand how did Ritika managed to complicate their life so much. Kiran just kept screaming on her which lead to crying of Ritika. Kiran was so tense. She just wanted her father to return home and she wanted to handle him that problem. But whenever she asked about her father. Ritika started claiming that he might had left them. Then she called him. In few second she returned and told Kiran every thing was just fine. Kiran knew that she could tell all this to her father on phone so she kept waiting for him. She just decided that she would tell him all when he would return home on vacation. She just wished from heart only if her Dad managed to come home quickly. Since Ritika was getting impossible day by day. She had began to change their home in to some jail. She just forced Kiran to close all window since she was scared that some one would come in house by them. It was so strange. Kiran was so tensed. She called her Dad. " Dad when are you coming?" " Very soon!!" "What happened?" " Dad don't you feel that this soon is turning into months and then years." " Come on. I am not happy to stay here. We need money to manage it all." "Fine then we all will stay there." " No..No..it is not possible. It will be too costly and you have your school there. I want you to grow there." " Then come back." " But.." " Dad every thing is not fine as it seems." " I don't understand." Then Kiran slowly told him every thing on phone." She was looking around again and again. But Ritika was so busy in her cleaning schedule that she didn't even noticed that she was doing so much cleaning. She just felt so scared on every point that they would get sick. Tushar was so shocked. " My god. I sensed on phone that she was getting too nervous but I never thought that it would be that serious. Don't worry I will come there as soon as possible." Kiran was little bit relaxed in her mind
     From that day Kiran started waiting for her Dad. One day Tushar suddenly came but Ritika was so shocked and scared. She started thinking about lunch. Then she started working hard to clean that room which was already clean. One thing was sure that Ritika was not normal. He sensed it. He felt one thing clearly that she was acting so scared as if he could harm her in some way. He never even screamed on her. He needed to understand thoughts which managed to change her behavior so much that she just started to feel scared on every moment. She was shivering and crying on every word. He just didn't understand how did he supposed to console her. Finally when she went to sleep he slowly went out, he was confused. Then he suddenly remembered his one Doctor friend. He could consider him some nice psychiatrist. He looked at wall clock. It was too late but he sensed that he could wait. Ritika needed help as soon as possible. He could clearly saw marks on her hands due to too much cleaning of floor. She was doing every thing so much that her health started to suffer. He needed to do things in right way. He called that Doctor friend who was clearly upset but finally gave him number of psychiatrist and warned him not to phone psychiatrist or him that late in night. Whole time he just kept apologizing. It was so wrong. He needed help and even Doctor was not understanding his troubles. He felt so much hurt. But any way when he looked at time, he sensed that he was wrong even his Doctor friend had his family life. He needed to understand it. He looked around. He felt one thought that he must move ahead with one hope that psychiatrist would help his wife. He suddenly sensed that he was so lost after earning money that he lost touch with his family. He never thought that he would have to pay price for it in this way. Next morning he sat near Ritika. Ritika " Are you upset with me? Don't leave me? I will do what you like." Tushar " Actually you are getting scared too much. I think you need to reduce it." Ritika smiled " So you are not going to leave me and marry another girl." " My god!! There is never another girl," " But she can enter?" " What? Never.." " But there is too much risk inside. Since no one sense before they have it." "So it is so strange that you are scared of every thing. It is enough. We need to visit psychiatrist." "But..I am not mad." " Do you want to stay with me?" She nodded while crying." Then we must visit psychiatrist." She was crying while he phoned psychiatrist. He took appointment. She just kept crying whole day and just kept repeating her chat that he must not leave her. He was so tense until  finally time come to go to psychiatrist. They went there. Ritika was crying whole time. Then psychiatrist talked with her. Slowly he consoled her little bit. Then she told her to go out. Psychiatrist " Tushar can I suggest you one thing? Can you change you job? Your wife is suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder. She was under so stress due to your absence. At beginning she consoled by your visits. But slowly you started to reduce your visit." "Since my Boss didn't permit. I wanted to stay with family but I did all for them." Then now leave it for her. I hope you get enough money on some job here." Tushar looked confused then he nodded. Psychiatrist smiled. " Don't worry. I was just joking. I will handle her. I will reduce her fear with proper treatment so when are you going back?" " In week?" Psychiatrist " I feel one thing from heart that your wife need  you so at least increase your leave." "Sorry. I can't. Can you cure her without me? I will pay all fees as much as you needed." Psychiatrist " Okay. I will handle it but just remember one thing that you might need me soon." "What?" " I mean you are obsessed with money so much. That you are going to have problem." Tushar smiled. "It will never happen. I am not that weak minded." Psychiatrist nodded. Then Tushar and Ritika went away. As soon as they went out of sight, Psychiatrist said " Why did I tell them every time when I know they will never listen to me any way hope is good thing so keep hoping. Any way I will at least cure his wife." Then he started to call next patient.
