School Friend
Satish and Arpita were enjoying their normal. Sometimes Arpita felt that she needed some change. One day she was sitting in her normal coffee shop. She was so irritated. She got nothing to do. She used to work in one bank before she got pregnant. Then she had kids to manage. She had to leave her job. But now her kids were grown up. They went away in their ways. She was all alone again. She wanted some thing different in her life which could give her some happiness. She wanted to give thrill in life. She wanted to do some thing new and unique. But here she was sitting alone in her favorite cafe. If only her friend could came there on time, then she suddenly located her friend Isha. She was her school. It was so long time since they had met, She just didn't even remember her that much. But she was so shocked when she saw Isha in that dress. Isha dressed in modern way. It was clear that she must had bought that dress from costly shop. But at same time it was too short. Arpita just didn't like it. Arpita knew that people might consider her old fashioned but still she preferred traditional wear over western. But she knew that every one had their own choice. When her friend came near her, she gave her wonderful smile. Isha " You are wearing saree? Do you wear it every day?" Arpita felt so upset at her immediate taunt to her dressing style. Arpita loved traditional dressing but she never able to wore it in college due to her friends. But now Satish let her wear as she wished. But when Isha taunted she felt upset again then she thought that it was nice on her part that she didn't taunt. Specially when at this age Isha supposed to wear some thing decent. When Isha came near her, Arpita saw every sign of aging on her. Isha must had loaded her face with so much make up but still she didn't manage. Arpita was proud of her face which still looked young. Isha sat there. Arpita " Let's place some order." Isha smiled. Isha " I don't eat much in cafe. I just drink black coffee." Aprita was so nervous. She had already ordered snacks. Arpita just nodded. Arpita told waiter to add one black coffee in her order. She was so upset. She knew that waiter must be preparing her order so she couldn't cancel them. Then she just began sense that she didn't need to show off before Isha. After all she got what she wanted so she could enjoy her life as she wished. Finally their order came. But Isha didn't said any thing about her order. Isha just began to talk about her life. Isha " I am planning to go in modeling." Arpita " I know. I have seen your picture in some soup advertisement but I thought it was passion vanished with time." "Yes it has. Then I got married to one business man." "I know it. But then you were happy." "Yes I was happy until he didn't started having affairs." "My god I don't know it." Isha started to hide her tears. Isha once again turned to her. Isha " Do you know I have one daughter from him? I need to take care of her and he was not even ready to give me money." " He is not giving alimony." "No..He is not even giving divorce. He wanted his daughter." "What? But you are her mother. Law will give you your daughter." "He knew it and that's why he is not ready to divorce." Arpita was so shocked to hear all this. Arpita " But how did he manage to do affairs and still say no to divorce?" "Since he is smart enough to hide proof. After all he is successful business man and politician also so he knew every thing." Arpita was so shocked. She knew that her husband was MLA but she never thought that he would be like that. Then suddenly Isha gave her one purse. Isha " It have my jewelry keep it for me. If my husband killed me then I want you to file a complaint so I give you one letter." Arpita was so shocked. She couldn't go against such powerful person. Arpita " Why don't you talk to him?" Isha "Of course. I will talk but I want to be on safer side. So just keep it." Before Arpita could say anything Isha just ran away. It was so strange. Arpita never thought that her husband could be such evil. But he was powerful businessman and politician. He must had managed to hide all his evil deed. She looked at paper with anger in which they had his picture. She just hated him. She threw it away in one corner.
When Arpita came near her car, she first time sensed that she took biggest responsibility in life. She looked at those jewelry. She was so scared. She did all against a big person but she was more scared that how did she take care of that jewelry. She started driving and she was so tense whole time. She just wanted to reach home. As soon as she came home, she went in her bedroom. She was about to put it in her cupboard but then she sense that she couldn't keep it. It was risky. She decided to keep it in bank locker. She took key of locker. She decided to find key of locker. She searched for them finally she found them. Then once again she started to drive. She was so tense. She was shivering when she went in locker. She could sense every one in bank was watching her with suspicion. She finally went near locker. She started opening it. Those keys just felt falling from her hand. It happened twice. Then she suddenly sensed footsteps. She felt so scared that Isha's husband might come to take those things and arrest her. She suddenly understood what she was doing. She was stealing Isha's jewelry. She was so confused. She thought that she was helping her friend until now but it seemed to get different color now. She decided that she must call her husband. But she couldn't call from there since signal was not available in underground locker. She decided that she must keep it inside locker for now. She did it and just went away. On that day her mind was not right. She cooked food but whole time she was acting like some robot. Her mind was not on it's place. It was so horrible. She kept waiting for Satish. She was so scared that her mobile might be tapped. After all Isha's husband was powerful man. First kids came home. They both sensed some thing wrong. They even tried to ask but when she didn't answer , they assumed some thing must be regarding financial matter. She loved her kids for that. Her kids never interfered when she indicated this way. But she knew that after some time they expect a reasonable answer from her and she would gave it when she understood matter. Finally Satish came at night. As soon as he entered, she just told him every thing without even asking him if he was some thing to refresh. He didn't even had time to get upset over. He just screamed " What? You put them in our locker. Are you mad? You will be in prison due to it." " But she was so convincing." " Regarding keeping jewels. What's wrong with you? You were working in bank one time. Don't you sense what have you done? If she want her jewelry to be safe, then she should keep them in her name in some bank locker. We can't keep it in our locker. This way her husband could arrest us as thief. " Arpita was so scared now. She never thought this way. She just didn't use her mind. Arpita " I will not let it happen. I call her now." When she called on her mobile, a man took her phone. Arpita " Her husband is taking her mobile." "Fine. Then call her tomorrow but we must return her jewelry as soon as possible." Arpita nodded. That night was horrible for them both. They just couldn't sleep. They both just felt from time to time that Police were going to knock on door. Arpita didn't sense she was asleep when she was woke up by door bell. She was so scared. She knew that it must be police. But she had to open door. She didn't want Satish to suffer. She decided that she would tell every thing to Police and took that punishment which she was given. She opened the door. It was just milk man. He had kept their milk. She looked at clock. It was morning. She had to get ready. She didn't want her kids to sense that something was missing. She began to cook breakfast. Once again she started working. This time she even managed one nice smile. Then she went to wake up her kids.
Arpita started serving kids in kitchen. She gave her best smile. Kids looked at her carefully. She could sense that kids were judging her. She knew that soon they would sense that she was pretending. She didn't want it to happen. She just wanted to pretend that every thing was just fine. Then Satish came. He also started pretending. He gave wonderful smile. He just sensed one thing. That they had to pretend. But they must had smiled too much since kids sensed one thing that some thing was totally wrong. But they didn't point it out but finally Raju spoke " What happened Dad? Just tell it. We don't need suspense in life. You can just tell it and get over with it." Arpita " Nothing." But one thing was clear this time their kids wanted to know the truth. Arpita was so nervous. She didn't want to put them in such worst situation where troubles were going to surround them. But they just kept insisting. Finally Satish told them all. Her daughter Anju "Mom you must call her again. Or let me do the talking. I mean if I talk with her husband then he will talk nicely after all I am just kid and politician talk nicely with kids." Arpita " You don't know him. He is worst man." Satish " Let her try." Arpita didn't like this idea but still she gave that number. Anju called. Once again that man took mobile. Anju " Can I talk to Isha Aunite?" "Sorry sweetheart she is not here. May I know who is talking?" " I am her niece." "Which niece?" Now this began to scare her. Anju just switched off her mobile. That man called again immediately. They were so scared. They just didn't pick mobile. Then it stopped. Arpita was relaxed. She began her daily work. She thought that it was worst now. But then she heard Police siren and she got scared. Satish " It might be for some one else." They all nodded. But finally knocking started on door. Anju began to cry slowly. Anju " Mom they will not take you to jail." "No sweet heart. We can just return them their jewelry." But in her heart Arpita was thinking about calling to her friend who was LLB. She was not practicing now but she had many lawyer friends. Arpita "Satish don't you feel it is better to call Rina. She could send proper lawyer. " Satish nodded. He started searching for number and Arpita went to open door and Satish immediately followed her. As soon as they opened door, Police and one man entered in house. That man was neither interested in Arpita nor Police were. They both started calling Isha. That man " Where is my wife?" " I don't know." He screamed " Stop lying. Just tell me. It is dangerous for her to around like this." " I don't know and I am not your slave. How can you speak like this with me? You are harassing your wife." "Ohh my god she told you some story and you believed her. Don't you know her mental condition." "She looked perfect." That man was so angry but Police interfered " Sir let me handle this." That man just went off that room. Police " This Isha is mad woman. She was staying hospital for few days but then she suddenly vanished with her clothes and jewelry." Satish " We have her jewelry. She just gave it to her." Arpita was so upset. She knew that now that Police would give that jewelry back to her husband. She didn't believe that Isha was mad. She was looking just perfect. But she had to returned it. Then Satish went away with Police to return back that jewelry. Arpita was so sad that fraud man took away Isha's jewelry. She just hated that politician. She knew that her friend was getting cheated. Her husband was such worst man. He managed to cheat Isha. Arpita just wanted to convince this to Satish that he must not trust that Politician. It all seemed so wrong but any way it was impossible to stop them since he brought Police with him. She just went in kitchen and started doing her work. She was so tense now. If Isha asked about jewelry, Arpita didn't know how to face her.
Arpita was so upset by all this. Arpita started arguing with Satish as soon as he entered in house. Arpita " Why did you gave them that jewelry? Why are you so scared of that man?" " I am not scared but it was his jewelry and I just managed to return it. Don't you understand that you need to thank that man for not filing case on us? Your stupid friend just manage to stole all that things and you put them all in our locker. I just don't understand. Don't you have your common sense? I mean you can sense it that we could have to been in lot of trouble if that person decides it. He seem like nice person." Arpita was so confused now. Until now she thought Satish was scared of him but now she sensed that he believed him. Arpita " Are you sure that this fellow is nice person?" " Of course he was nice. In fact he was scared about his wife. His daughter was calling me again and again. She was also asking about her Mom. It seemed that it was not first time that your friend ran away like that." " I don't get it." "She just always manage to find some way out of that hospital. Last time she bribed one hospital ward boy. " " Because she is sound. He is lying. He is using his contact to prove her mad." He just felt so much confused. Satish " I just don't feel that person is such bad man." Arpita " But I know my friend she is a nice girl." " Now this is all turning in worst way." Arpita " This is happening because you are talking against my best friend." "But try to understand every one was telling that she is mad." "Nonsense. Tell me name of hospital." "Why? Now no need to dig it." " You gave away that jewels and you acted as you wish now let me act as per my wish. I want to inquire about her. Let me do that. If that fellow is as good as you are saying I am sure that he will not take it personally. I will not argue with them. I will say that I am concern about my friend. After all since this all have happened, I have full right to feel concern about her." Satish was nervous now. But still he nodded. Satish " Fine go there. But just never let them guess you are spying." "Why did they feel that way we have returned jewelry? " Satish once again nodded but he was scared. Then he began to write name of hospital. She took it from him immediately and read that name. She knew that he would change his mind. But he sensed that it was too late. Satish " Just think carefully. If he might be not that much nice man, then he might hurt you." " And you never thought it before giving Isha's jewelry." "She is not my wife." "Try to understand. Isha is my friend." "Okay..Okay but act with care." Arpita smiled. "Surely." She went inside. She began to do all her work but she was sure now. That she would punish that man and bring justice for Isha. She felt as if she was superwoman. She was so confidant and happy. She decided that she would give justice to her friend. She planned it all. She went in her room. She began to choose her saree. It was simple saree. It was nice looking and interesting but still simple. She then chose sarees and jewels which were simple. She just liked to dress in proper way. She looked at her image. She was looking simple housewife. No one could guess that she was staying to spy. She just smiled sweetly in innocent way. She felt so happy and thrilled. She just began to love this job. She felt as if she was doing some thing big, she felt confident. She was so sure that she was fighting for justice. She managed to imagine herself as a great person who would be admired on TV for exposing those evil plan of corrupt politicians. She just hoped that it would not hurt Isha too much. She knew that she must not feel happy but then she felt that she was happy not because she would get publicity but because she could get justice for her friend. She stopped for few moments. When her husband and kids went back to their own work, she got ready. Once again she looked at herself. She checked out that she was looking perfect and then she smiled happily. Then she started reading name of hospital. She sensed for first time that she didn't knew where it located. She began to search on google map. It didn't locate easily but finally she found it. Then she stopped one Auto and started giving directions to that Auto driver about it. She was so excited. She felt as if she was some great detective. It was thrilling and most nice thing was that she got golden opportunity to help her friend. She felt that she was some special why else did she selected her. She was so happy. Then finally that hospital came. She got out. She prepared herself perfectly before going inside. Then she went in inside with a look of a concerned friend not a detective who wanted to help a friend to take her out of this cage. She was happy when no one looked at her with suspicion in hospital. She did it in perfect way.
Arpita went inside with one thought that she had create some drama but as soon as she came in counter. She slowly asked about Isha. Nurse " Did that woman tell you some thing worst about her husband? She did it every time. She is such pain in neck for us." " But she seemed to be nice woman. I know her from childhood." That Nurse gave her strange smile " And at that time she was honest to one boy." Arpita was confused. She remembered a big list of Isha's friends but none of that boy was interested in her due to her financial status. Arpita " She had trouble in finding boy friend. But at that time I hardly even searching for one." " I know and that is common. If you don't find proper boy then you might don't show interest. But Isha kept changing boys. Have you ever confirmed that she was truly rejected by those boys or she was doing it to just create drama?" " I just don't understand." "This Isha is just drama queen. Every day she just kept telling lies after lies. She even used one ward boy to run away from here. Do you know that she was having an affair with him?" "What? In hospital?" " Yes. Actually we are not permitted to say this. But as soon as Nurse went out, she used to call him on mobile. One day luckily Nurse caught her and she started creating new drama that this ward boy was trying to rape her. No one believed him. He was threw in jail. But then after few days she started doing same trick with another ward boy who was wise to catch her. So she is horrible woman. I just feel so sad for her daughter and husband. " " I just can't believe it." "No need to believe me. You can ask any one from staff." She looked around. She could see that they all were interested now. Every one started telling story of Isha's tantrum. " Arpita was so shocked. She decided that she must visit Doctor. She took her appointment and went to meet him. She slowly told whole truth to Psychiatrist. Psychiatrist smiled. " Can I tell you one truth about you?" " Sure." " Actually you were too bored so you decided to you needed adventure and you decided that you will help your friend and expose her political husband. Am I right?" "No..No..that is not truth." "Stop lying to yourself. If you are so irritated with your house work. Why don't you start some hobby? What is your favorite hobby?" " I just don't..I think I must leave." Arpita was about to go when Psychiatrist told her to stop. Psychiatrist " Try to understand Isha's problem is never your problem even if I went against my medical ethics and tell you all her problem still it will not help you. Your problem is that you are getting depressed. Now I feel if you don't get involved in something then it will increase. Slowly you will start getting irritated then tell me why else did you get so involved in Isha? I don't even remember you visiting her before." Arpita couldn't hold her tears now. She slowly explained it all to Psychiatrist that how did she just stuck in her house now. Then Psychiatrist started telling her about developing her hobbies. She talked with him just for one time. But she felt so relaxed. She told Satish all about it. Satish told her to join classes of her hobbies. Slowly she became involved in her hobbies. After that every one noticed a wonderful change in her. She never understood what was Isha's problem but she no longer cared for her since she knew her husband would do his best. She went back to her life while ignoring Isha. She never mentioned her again and Isha never visited her again.
The End
Satish and Arpita were enjoying their normal. Sometimes Arpita felt that she needed some change. One day she was sitting in her normal coffee shop. She was so irritated. She got nothing to do. She used to work in one bank before she got pregnant. Then she had kids to manage. She had to leave her job. But now her kids were grown up. They went away in their ways. She was all alone again. She wanted some thing different in her life which could give her some happiness. She wanted to give thrill in life. She wanted to do some thing new and unique. But here she was sitting alone in her favorite cafe. If only her friend could came there on time, then she suddenly located her friend Isha. She was her school. It was so long time since they had met, She just didn't even remember her that much. But she was so shocked when she saw Isha in that dress. Isha dressed in modern way. It was clear that she must had bought that dress from costly shop. But at same time it was too short. Arpita just didn't like it. Arpita knew that people might consider her old fashioned but still she preferred traditional wear over western. But she knew that every one had their own choice. When her friend came near her, she gave her wonderful smile. Isha " You are wearing saree? Do you wear it every day?" Arpita felt so upset at her immediate taunt to her dressing style. Arpita loved traditional dressing but she never able to wore it in college due to her friends. But now Satish let her wear as she wished. But when Isha taunted she felt upset again then she thought that it was nice on her part that she didn't taunt. Specially when at this age Isha supposed to wear some thing decent. When Isha came near her, Arpita saw every sign of aging on her. Isha must had loaded her face with so much make up but still she didn't manage. Arpita was proud of her face which still looked young. Isha sat there. Arpita " Let's place some order." Isha smiled. Isha " I don't eat much in cafe. I just drink black coffee." Aprita was so nervous. She had already ordered snacks. Arpita just nodded. Arpita told waiter to add one black coffee in her order. She was so upset. She knew that waiter must be preparing her order so she couldn't cancel them. Then she just began sense that she didn't need to show off before Isha. After all she got what she wanted so she could enjoy her life as she wished. Finally their order came. But Isha didn't said any thing about her order. Isha just began to talk about her life. Isha " I am planning to go in modeling." Arpita " I know. I have seen your picture in some soup advertisement but I thought it was passion vanished with time." "Yes it has. Then I got married to one business man." "I know it. But then you were happy." "Yes I was happy until he didn't started having affairs." "My god I don't know it." Isha started to hide her tears. Isha once again turned to her. Isha " Do you know I have one daughter from him? I need to take care of her and he was not even ready to give me money." " He is not giving alimony." "No..He is not even giving divorce. He wanted his daughter." "What? But you are her mother. Law will give you your daughter." "He knew it and that's why he is not ready to divorce." Arpita was so shocked to hear all this. Arpita " But how did he manage to do affairs and still say no to divorce?" "Since he is smart enough to hide proof. After all he is successful business man and politician also so he knew every thing." Arpita was so shocked. She knew that her husband was MLA but she never thought that he would be like that. Then suddenly Isha gave her one purse. Isha " It have my jewelry keep it for me. If my husband killed me then I want you to file a complaint so I give you one letter." Arpita was so shocked. She couldn't go against such powerful person. Arpita " Why don't you talk to him?" Isha "Of course. I will talk but I want to be on safer side. So just keep it." Before Arpita could say anything Isha just ran away. It was so strange. Arpita never thought that her husband could be such evil. But he was powerful businessman and politician. He must had managed to hide all his evil deed. She looked at paper with anger in which they had his picture. She just hated him. She threw it away in one corner.
When Arpita came near her car, she first time sensed that she took biggest responsibility in life. She looked at those jewelry. She was so scared. She did all against a big person but she was more scared that how did she take care of that jewelry. She started driving and she was so tense whole time. She just wanted to reach home. As soon as she came home, she went in her bedroom. She was about to put it in her cupboard but then she sense that she couldn't keep it. It was risky. She decided to keep it in bank locker. She took key of locker. She decided to find key of locker. She searched for them finally she found them. Then once again she started to drive. She was so tense. She was shivering when she went in locker. She could sense every one in bank was watching her with suspicion. She finally went near locker. She started opening it. Those keys just felt falling from her hand. It happened twice. Then she suddenly sensed footsteps. She felt so scared that Isha's husband might come to take those things and arrest her. She suddenly understood what she was doing. She was stealing Isha's jewelry. She was so confused. She thought that she was helping her friend until now but it seemed to get different color now. She decided that she must call her husband. But she couldn't call from there since signal was not available in underground locker. She decided that she must keep it inside locker for now. She did it and just went away. On that day her mind was not right. She cooked food but whole time she was acting like some robot. Her mind was not on it's place. It was so horrible. She kept waiting for Satish. She was so scared that her mobile might be tapped. After all Isha's husband was powerful man. First kids came home. They both sensed some thing wrong. They even tried to ask but when she didn't answer , they assumed some thing must be regarding financial matter. She loved her kids for that. Her kids never interfered when she indicated this way. But she knew that after some time they expect a reasonable answer from her and she would gave it when she understood matter. Finally Satish came at night. As soon as he entered, she just told him every thing without even asking him if he was some thing to refresh. He didn't even had time to get upset over. He just screamed " What? You put them in our locker. Are you mad? You will be in prison due to it." " But she was so convincing." " Regarding keeping jewels. What's wrong with you? You were working in bank one time. Don't you sense what have you done? If she want her jewelry to be safe, then she should keep them in her name in some bank locker. We can't keep it in our locker. This way her husband could arrest us as thief. " Arpita was so scared now. She never thought this way. She just didn't use her mind. Arpita " I will not let it happen. I call her now." When she called on her mobile, a man took her phone. Arpita " Her husband is taking her mobile." "Fine. Then call her tomorrow but we must return her jewelry as soon as possible." Arpita nodded. That night was horrible for them both. They just couldn't sleep. They both just felt from time to time that Police were going to knock on door. Arpita didn't sense she was asleep when she was woke up by door bell. She was so scared. She knew that it must be police. But she had to open door. She didn't want Satish to suffer. She decided that she would tell every thing to Police and took that punishment which she was given. She opened the door. It was just milk man. He had kept their milk. She looked at clock. It was morning. She had to get ready. She didn't want her kids to sense that something was missing. She began to cook breakfast. Once again she started working. This time she even managed one nice smile. Then she went to wake up her kids.
Arpita started serving kids in kitchen. She gave her best smile. Kids looked at her carefully. She could sense that kids were judging her. She knew that soon they would sense that she was pretending. She didn't want it to happen. She just wanted to pretend that every thing was just fine. Then Satish came. He also started pretending. He gave wonderful smile. He just sensed one thing. That they had to pretend. But they must had smiled too much since kids sensed one thing that some thing was totally wrong. But they didn't point it out but finally Raju spoke " What happened Dad? Just tell it. We don't need suspense in life. You can just tell it and get over with it." Arpita " Nothing." But one thing was clear this time their kids wanted to know the truth. Arpita was so nervous. She didn't want to put them in such worst situation where troubles were going to surround them. But they just kept insisting. Finally Satish told them all. Her daughter Anju "Mom you must call her again. Or let me do the talking. I mean if I talk with her husband then he will talk nicely after all I am just kid and politician talk nicely with kids." Arpita " You don't know him. He is worst man." Satish " Let her try." Arpita didn't like this idea but still she gave that number. Anju called. Once again that man took mobile. Anju " Can I talk to Isha Aunite?" "Sorry sweetheart she is not here. May I know who is talking?" " I am her niece." "Which niece?" Now this began to scare her. Anju just switched off her mobile. That man called again immediately. They were so scared. They just didn't pick mobile. Then it stopped. Arpita was relaxed. She began her daily work. She thought that it was worst now. But then she heard Police siren and she got scared. Satish " It might be for some one else." They all nodded. But finally knocking started on door. Anju began to cry slowly. Anju " Mom they will not take you to jail." "No sweet heart. We can just return them their jewelry." But in her heart Arpita was thinking about calling to her friend who was LLB. She was not practicing now but she had many lawyer friends. Arpita "Satish don't you feel it is better to call Rina. She could send proper lawyer. " Satish nodded. He started searching for number and Arpita went to open door and Satish immediately followed her. As soon as they opened door, Police and one man entered in house. That man was neither interested in Arpita nor Police were. They both started calling Isha. That man " Where is my wife?" " I don't know." He screamed " Stop lying. Just tell me. It is dangerous for her to around like this." " I don't know and I am not your slave. How can you speak like this with me? You are harassing your wife." "Ohh my god she told you some story and you believed her. Don't you know her mental condition." "She looked perfect." That man was so angry but Police interfered " Sir let me handle this." That man just went off that room. Police " This Isha is mad woman. She was staying hospital for few days but then she suddenly vanished with her clothes and jewelry." Satish " We have her jewelry. She just gave it to her." Arpita was so upset. She knew that now that Police would give that jewelry back to her husband. She didn't believe that Isha was mad. She was looking just perfect. But she had to returned it. Then Satish went away with Police to return back that jewelry. Arpita was so sad that fraud man took away Isha's jewelry. She just hated that politician. She knew that her friend was getting cheated. Her husband was such worst man. He managed to cheat Isha. Arpita just wanted to convince this to Satish that he must not trust that Politician. It all seemed so wrong but any way it was impossible to stop them since he brought Police with him. She just went in kitchen and started doing her work. She was so tense now. If Isha asked about jewelry, Arpita didn't know how to face her.
Arpita was so upset by all this. Arpita started arguing with Satish as soon as he entered in house. Arpita " Why did you gave them that jewelry? Why are you so scared of that man?" " I am not scared but it was his jewelry and I just managed to return it. Don't you understand that you need to thank that man for not filing case on us? Your stupid friend just manage to stole all that things and you put them all in our locker. I just don't understand. Don't you have your common sense? I mean you can sense it that we could have to been in lot of trouble if that person decides it. He seem like nice person." Arpita was so confused now. Until now she thought Satish was scared of him but now she sensed that he believed him. Arpita " Are you sure that this fellow is nice person?" " Of course he was nice. In fact he was scared about his wife. His daughter was calling me again and again. She was also asking about her Mom. It seemed that it was not first time that your friend ran away like that." " I don't get it." "She just always manage to find some way out of that hospital. Last time she bribed one hospital ward boy. " " Because she is sound. He is lying. He is using his contact to prove her mad." He just felt so much confused. Satish " I just don't feel that person is such bad man." Arpita " But I know my friend she is a nice girl." " Now this is all turning in worst way." Arpita " This is happening because you are talking against my best friend." "But try to understand every one was telling that she is mad." "Nonsense. Tell me name of hospital." "Why? Now no need to dig it." " You gave away that jewels and you acted as you wish now let me act as per my wish. I want to inquire about her. Let me do that. If that fellow is as good as you are saying I am sure that he will not take it personally. I will not argue with them. I will say that I am concern about my friend. After all since this all have happened, I have full right to feel concern about her." Satish was nervous now. But still he nodded. Satish " Fine go there. But just never let them guess you are spying." "Why did they feel that way we have returned jewelry? " Satish once again nodded but he was scared. Then he began to write name of hospital. She took it from him immediately and read that name. She knew that he would change his mind. But he sensed that it was too late. Satish " Just think carefully. If he might be not that much nice man, then he might hurt you." " And you never thought it before giving Isha's jewelry." "She is not my wife." "Try to understand. Isha is my friend." "Okay..Okay but act with care." Arpita smiled. "Surely." She went inside. She began to do all her work but she was sure now. That she would punish that man and bring justice for Isha. She felt as if she was superwoman. She was so confidant and happy. She decided that she would give justice to her friend. She planned it all. She went in her room. She began to choose her saree. It was simple saree. It was nice looking and interesting but still simple. She then chose sarees and jewels which were simple. She just liked to dress in proper way. She looked at her image. She was looking simple housewife. No one could guess that she was staying to spy. She just smiled sweetly in innocent way. She felt so happy and thrilled. She just began to love this job. She felt as if she was doing some thing big, she felt confident. She was so sure that she was fighting for justice. She managed to imagine herself as a great person who would be admired on TV for exposing those evil plan of corrupt politicians. She just hoped that it would not hurt Isha too much. She knew that she must not feel happy but then she felt that she was happy not because she would get publicity but because she could get justice for her friend. She stopped for few moments. When her husband and kids went back to their own work, she got ready. Once again she looked at herself. She checked out that she was looking perfect and then she smiled happily. Then she started reading name of hospital. She sensed for first time that she didn't knew where it located. She began to search on google map. It didn't locate easily but finally she found it. Then she stopped one Auto and started giving directions to that Auto driver about it. She was so excited. She felt as if she was some great detective. It was thrilling and most nice thing was that she got golden opportunity to help her friend. She felt that she was some special why else did she selected her. She was so happy. Then finally that hospital came. She got out. She prepared herself perfectly before going inside. Then she went in inside with a look of a concerned friend not a detective who wanted to help a friend to take her out of this cage. She was happy when no one looked at her with suspicion in hospital. She did it in perfect way.
Arpita went inside with one thought that she had create some drama but as soon as she came in counter. She slowly asked about Isha. Nurse " Did that woman tell you some thing worst about her husband? She did it every time. She is such pain in neck for us." " But she seemed to be nice woman. I know her from childhood." That Nurse gave her strange smile " And at that time she was honest to one boy." Arpita was confused. She remembered a big list of Isha's friends but none of that boy was interested in her due to her financial status. Arpita " She had trouble in finding boy friend. But at that time I hardly even searching for one." " I know and that is common. If you don't find proper boy then you might don't show interest. But Isha kept changing boys. Have you ever confirmed that she was truly rejected by those boys or she was doing it to just create drama?" " I just don't understand." "This Isha is just drama queen. Every day she just kept telling lies after lies. She even used one ward boy to run away from here. Do you know that she was having an affair with him?" "What? In hospital?" " Yes. Actually we are not permitted to say this. But as soon as Nurse went out, she used to call him on mobile. One day luckily Nurse caught her and she started creating new drama that this ward boy was trying to rape her. No one believed him. He was threw in jail. But then after few days she started doing same trick with another ward boy who was wise to catch her. So she is horrible woman. I just feel so sad for her daughter and husband. " " I just can't believe it." "No need to believe me. You can ask any one from staff." She looked around. She could see that they all were interested now. Every one started telling story of Isha's tantrum. " Arpita was so shocked. She decided that she must visit Doctor. She took her appointment and went to meet him. She slowly told whole truth to Psychiatrist. Psychiatrist smiled. " Can I tell you one truth about you?" " Sure." " Actually you were too bored so you decided to you needed adventure and you decided that you will help your friend and expose her political husband. Am I right?" "No..No..that is not truth." "Stop lying to yourself. If you are so irritated with your house work. Why don't you start some hobby? What is your favorite hobby?" " I just don't..I think I must leave." Arpita was about to go when Psychiatrist told her to stop. Psychiatrist " Try to understand Isha's problem is never your problem even if I went against my medical ethics and tell you all her problem still it will not help you. Your problem is that you are getting depressed. Now I feel if you don't get involved in something then it will increase. Slowly you will start getting irritated then tell me why else did you get so involved in Isha? I don't even remember you visiting her before." Arpita couldn't hold her tears now. She slowly explained it all to Psychiatrist that how did she just stuck in her house now. Then Psychiatrist started telling her about developing her hobbies. She talked with him just for one time. But she felt so relaxed. She told Satish all about it. Satish told her to join classes of her hobbies. Slowly she became involved in her hobbies. After that every one noticed a wonderful change in her. She never understood what was Isha's problem but she no longer cared for her since she knew her husband would do his best. She went back to her life while ignoring Isha. She never mentioned her again and Isha never visited her again.
The End
