Letter to Isha
Mandar started walking on road which would take him to his school. His old school was some thing which he had left behind long time ago. That old school was that part of his world which he managed to totally forgot. He never wished to forgot but he managed to do that due to his busy schedule. After school his life become just race. He didn't want to complaint about it since he just love it. He loved moving fast in life. Specially since he managed to get field of his choice. He just felt from heart that it was perfect life. He never missed a thing, until now. He didn't saw it again. But his office work forced him to visited his home town. He was standing once more before his school. He sensed that feel from mind. He started to looking around town. It was same old town which was having effects on each point. He started regretting not visiting it. He decided that he would visit his school after completing his work. On that point he felt as if some one was following him. He turned behind. He was excepting a man but it was a woman. She was good looking woman. When he looked behind, she looked nervous. He was so confused. He started thinking about number of people he knew in school. He just found long list but he didn't recall any girl. He was never involved in any girl in school time. He was just interested in sports. He couldn't forget those days when he used to think that he was never going to be interested in girl since they hardly able to run fast enough to play sports. Of course there were few girls in his school. But none of them was in his class. He was just interested in sports woman and he thought that he would never change his thinking. But after going to college he clearly sensed changes. But any way this girl must be some one from school since she was smiling at him while he was watching school. He looked at her. She didn't harmful any way so he decided that he might talk with her. Mandar " Hello did we know each other?" That girl " I am not sure. Are you from class A in year.."" No need to go in that details. I am not from class. I am from class C so I don't feel any need to discuss it. I feel you must have made some mistake." That girl looked around with confused eyes. Then she spoke slowly with him " Actually I am Isha. I belonged to an old fashioned family where talking to boys is not that much appreciated." Now Mandar didn't like this. Mandar " Then why are you talking with me? I have not invited you to talk with me." He saw that there was tears in Isha's eyes. Isha " I am talking about you. Actually there is one boy who was harassing me. I want to find him." Isha showed him a letter. Mandar was so scared but still he took that letter in his hand. He looked at handwriting. He didn't recognize it. But then he felt as if he had seen it somewhere. He started remembering it. But he couldn't recall. Mandar " Sorry. I don't know this handwriting. " " Please try to remember it. I need some help." Mandar was so confused. He didn't remember that handwriting at all. He started thinking about it. More he started thinking about it. He felt more sure that he knew it. But then he was never that much good at understanding hand writing. " Sorry Madam I don't remember." Isha took that letter back. Isha " Thanks for reading. Take my number and call me if you remember any thing." Mandar nodded and took her number. He looked at school. Suddenly that school didn't seem that much promising. He didn't want to go inside. He didn't know that why did he felt like that but he felt so scared after seeing her. He just decided that he must not come here. He started to stop taxi. He managed to find one taxi. He told that driver to take him to his hotel. He started to search for his wallet. At first he didn't find it. He felt so scared. But then he was shocked when he saw that it was in other pocket. He never kept it there. But any way he was glad that at least he had wallet. He began to sense so happy. He didn't want to remember that girl again. He started sleeping in Taxi. Then he woke up when his driver told him that they had arrived. He was so confused. He never slept like that. He made amount to that driver and went inside hotel.
Mandar was confused. Today his day was so strange. Some girl showed him that letter with hand writing which he clearly knew. He knew that hand writing. But he didn't recall where. He started thinking about it. But then he started to concentrate on work. He began to open his lap top but his heart was not on his work. He just started thinking about that hand writing and that Isha. He just kept feeling that she was suggesting him some thing between the lines. As if she felt that he knew that person who wrote those letters and she didn't want to name that person. He began to think about it again and again. He just didn't understand it. He was sure that it was something he knew. He started thinking again and again. He just wished only if his elder brother was there. He was hero in every case. He was sure that he could remember every thing. But then he could call him. But then he remembered his sister-in-law Rani. Even if he questioned his brother Tushar about it. He was sure Rani would started harassing Tushar. Rani was too jealous by nature. She always kept doubting Tushar about every thing. He felt that so wrong. It seemed like injustice to Tushar. She just always kept dragging him in every thing. He didn't want to increase his miseries more so he thought he must not ask him about this girl. But his thoughts kept going back to this girl. He decided that he might talk with Dad. After all Dad could easily tell about it. He needed to call his parents to tell them that he was safe and sound. He called his Dad but luckily his Mom took his phone. He started talking with Mom. He just talked casually but then slowly he shifted to his real trouble. " Mom do you know Isha?" " Isha?" He could clearly hear nervousness in his Mom's voice. " Do you know her?" Mom didn't say any thing for few seconds then she finally took a breathe and said " No" She said it in such a way that Mandar could clearly guess that she was lying. He was about to cross examine her when his Dad took phone. " Hello Mandar how are you? Did you reach perfectly?" " Yes Dad. I just want to ask do you know any Isha?" " No..not at all." His Dad said easily but Mandar knew how well his Dad could lie. He sensed one thing that some thing was unknown to him. He decided that he should let it go on that point. He felt if need arise he would dig it later on but he didn't want to talk about it on that moment. He decided to change subject so he talked for long time with his parents. He didn't talk about Isha. He started working on project. This time he was relaxed. He started working properly. Then he went to Ritika to chat. She was his to be wife. He could share this with her. But he did't want to share it. He didn't want to disturb her. He found it so hard to tell her that he could take that Isha out of his mind. He didn't understand what was happening. He didn't believe that he was in love with her. But she just kept coming in his brain as if he had remembered her on some way. That night he went to sleep after chat with Ritika . When he slept on bed, he suddenly remembered. He saw Isha's photo in Tushar's pocket. He remembered clearly that Tushar told him that he was going to marry her. Now this started to confuse Mandar. He couldn't have made mistake regarding that photo. He clearly remembered Isha. But then Tushar never planned to marry Isha. It was so strange and why did that Isha was chasing him now. One thing was clear to Mandar that Isha was wrong character. He decided that he would never go near that school again. In fact he decided that he would complete his work as soon as possible and send some one else next time. He was sure that he would manage it. He just decided it. Then he tried to sleep but he knew that he couldn't sleep that night. He just kept looking at roof. Finally he fall asleep at 3 o'clock in morning. It was worst night for him. He just kept praying to god that she would not meet him again. He knew that from next day. He would keep feeling scared. He wanted to reduce his fear but he could. He just kept remembering Isha's photo and hopes in Tushar's voice. That Isha must be a worst girl. He felt that Tushar was in love with her. She must had cheated him. He began to hate her and at same time he was scared that she might destroy Tushar's life again. He just wanted to forget her. But when he tried hard, he just kept remembering her. That whole night just went in remembering her so it was worst night for him.
Mandar told his Boss next day that he needed to go back to his home. Boss " Come on Mandar. You can quit now. They just loved your project. They called me today only that they want you to become their project in charge. Think about this you will become project in charge of that office. Then you will be boss that whole office will be under your hand. You are going up on ladder without any wrong back up on your own efforts so why do you want to back out now? Tell your parents to join you or you can stay with your wife. But you want my advice. I will tell you that it your old town so perfect place to settle. In fact I just don't understand why did you left that town? I just want to settle there only but just can't able to." " I want to settle that's why we shifted?" " Try to understand.." Then his Boss tried to convince him. Finally Mandar understood one thing if he said no to thing now then he would never get promotion or increment in this office. Boss " So try to understand. Stay there for at least few days. Then I might convince senior to change their decision. Try to understand." Mandar knew that he didn't have option. He just had to listen to them. Mandar knew that he had to say yes. He knew very well at beginning he did so well with his project that they must be increased and he couldn't jeopardized their project just because it didn't suit him. It was so wrong their money was involved. He couldn't cheat them like that. Mandar " Fine. I will work for them. I know I must not felt like that." " Great so you got my point." Mandar decided that he would stay in this town. He needed to understand those town which would give new chance to them. He started to think about it in that way but he just sensed every time that face of Isha came before him. He felt scared. But he decided that he didn't do any crime so why did he needed to feel scared. He called his parents and told then about his transfer and promotion." But why did you need to settle in that town?" His Dad was literally screaming on him. Mandar was so angry. Mandar " Because I want to save my job and my future. Dad I am getting married soon. I want nice salary. So for sake of god think about me for once instead of your elder son. I am also your son and I feel you feel forgetting it." " Shut up!! I am doing this just for you that stupid girl was going to harass you now." " Come on Dad. I will not stop to talk with her next time." Dad didn't sound relieved at all. Dad " I just don't like this idea." " But Dad I have to do it. Since it doesn't matter what I like or you like, we have to follow order of Boss. Dad I am not Boss in office. I am just working under them and you know very well. I am staying here. It doesn't matter what I feel." Dad " Okay so can we join you?" Mandar was shocked by this suggestion. He was so happy from heart. He didn't want to stay alone. "Perfect." " But what about Ritika?" He had chat along with Ritika. It seemed that she liked his parents and they could live by two flats side by side. After all prices of house were so less here. He explained it all to his Dad. Dad " Okay. But let us come first. Then slowly we will decide." Mandar was so happy with this idea. He told this all to Ritika who seemed okay with this arrangement. He just felt that his all problems were just imagination. He suddenly no longer felt scared of Isha. He slept peacefully on that day. Next day he went to office. He saw Isha on his way but he just ignored her. He was so shocked when Isha did same thing. She had in fact gave some angry look to him. He was so confused. He never hurt her and in fact she had hurt Tushar then why she had that angry look. In fact why did she was showing that letter to him. He decided that he must ignore her. Until one day he started sensing that some one was following him. He could hear foot steps from behind and when he turned back that fellow just managed to vanish. He was so confused. He felt that he was at risk but he couldn't file a Police complaint. Until Isha didn't manage to hurt him, but why did she wanted to hurt him. He just didn't understand. This kept happening again and again. He just started getting scared. Then one day he sensed that some one from behind started to catch with him. It was scary feeling. It needed to look back but his heart was chasing so fast. He just kept running ahead. ,When he reached office, he was breathless. He turned back but no one was behind. He was so confused. He just didn't felt that he imagined it all. Then suddenly his junior appeared. Junior " Why were you running so fast Sir?" " Ohh it was you. I just felt some one was following me." Junior looked at him in confused way. " It was not me. It was your brother. I just don't get it. Why don't you walk with your brother? He always kept following you. Is it some kind of game between brothers?" " What? It was not my brother. It was someone else." " My god!! I thought that he was your brother since he looked just like you." " So you saw him. That's great. I just wish I have some one to draw the face." " No need. He looked harmless." Then Junior changed subject. One thing was clear that he didn't want to get involved.
But from that day Mandar was no longer ready to ignore that follower. He decided that he might just go and ask Isha about it. But he felt that going alone like that seemed risky to him. He decided that he must talk with Ritika. She was his future wife so he must learn to handle things with her help. He told her every thing while chat. She suggested him a great idea. She told him that she could come with him. He just loved this idea. Then he suddenly remembered that Isha gave him her number. He gave it all to Ritika. She told him not to worry. She would handle it in sweet way. He began to relax after that. His that act proved fatal one day. Suddenly follower managed to come behind him. He sensed it but it was too late. He felt a strong pain on head and then suddenly every thing just got dissolved in that pain. He just fall down. He didn't even sensed that he screamed. Then he soon heard voice of his junior who was calling for help. When he woke up in hospital, Junior was sitting near him. Junior " It was same fellow. Don't worry Sir. I told every thing to Police. They even draw a picture. You were right sir. We should have avoided this. Only if I was brave enough to go to Police with you last time." He was crying. Mandar was feeling so much pain in head that he found it hard to talk. But still he did. Mandar " It's alright. It was not your mistake I was not sure on that time." " But I should have.." Then suddenly his parents and Ritika came. Ritika came near him. But she suddenly stopped as she saw his parents. Dad " What happened?" He was about to answer when Police came inside. Police " Excuse me. This is Police case we like to record statement first." " But this is my son." " And attacker is your another son." His Dad looked shocked. His Mom started crying loudly. Ritika looked at them with anger. " My brother? Why did he want to kill me?" " For property?" Mandar started laughing. " Sorry. But we don't have that much property." Police " Then what else?" Then Police turned to Ritika. " For girl?" " What? Tushar is not interested in Ritika. He had his wife and Ritika just belonged to me." Police " You can't be sure." Now Ritika looked so angry. " This is enough. You are throwing dirt on my character." She turned to his parents. " Why don't you tell them that your son is mad?" Mandar was so shocked. He always thought that Ritika loved him. But she was calling him mad. There was clear hate in her eyes regarding him. Mandar " I thought you love me." Ritika ran to him and took hold of his hand. " Of course I love you. But try to understand. I know you love your brother but we can't lie like that. Think about this in this way. What if he kill someone one day in his madness?" " What? You are talking about Tushar." Police stopped him. Police "Tell us all." " Tushar had mental problem from beginning. He was obsessed with Isha in strange way in college. He used to follow her everywhere. He started proposing her. At beginning she felt that he was nice boy but then one day worst thing happened. She was going out with him on date since their marriage was fixed. When a hawker came, he gave them bhel. Isha liked it so she smiled at him. Hawker returned her smile. That's all. Tushar got so angry. He started beating hawker like mad person. He didn't stop to hear any thing. It was worst for her. She kept screaming. But he didn't stop. Finally public took hold of him. Matter went to Police. Isha was so scared due to it. That she decided that she didn't want to marry him. After that she never got married. But Tushar found new girl friend. He kept changing girls. Finally he married to Rani. She thought that it was over. Until one day she find those letter. he was showing those signs of obsession again and your parents are not ready to take him to Doctor." Mandar was so shocked. " Mom..Dad.. is it true?" Mom just kept crying and Dad just sat quietly in corner. " Did Rani knew this?" Mom " No..but she guessed it soon after marriage. In fact Tushar married to Rani just because Rani was from same office where once Isha used to work. He wanted to hurt Isha. But it never worked. Isha never liked him." Mandar " No one like such a person." Mom " How can you talk like that about your brother?" " Mom.. Dad .. You let this happen to me." Mandar turned to Police. " I just want my brother to sent in mental care. Can you do that?" " Sure. We will manage. We will present the case before judge who will force him to go in mental hospital." " Thanks." Then Mandar closed his eyes. Doctor told them all to go out.
From next day Mandar's new life was started. His parents were against him. They wanted him to take back his case. Tushar kept making calls to him. Tushar was not apologizing. Tushar " I know you blame me but it was your mistake. You tried to take Isha from me. I saw her talking with you. She showed you my letter and even given her number to you. Why?" " Because she wanted to talk about you. She wanted to get rid of you. Why don't you understand you are mentally sick? You need a treatment." " What are you trying to tell me? I am mad." Suddenly Tushar started laughing in strange way. Mandar sensed one thing that he was not normal. Mandar " Please go to Doctor." " No need to advice me. But if I see ever near Isha then you will not need Doctor this time. I will just kill you. " Then Tushar disconnected phone. From that day Mandar decided that he would keep away from Tushar. He no longer wanted to keep any connection with his own family. It was horrible. His parents were abusing him. He just hated it. Finally he decided to take back complaint. Police suggested same thing since Tushar agreed to go to psychiatrist. After that Police told Tushar never to enter in home town where Isha and Mandar stayed. So Mandar got married with Ritika. He never knew what was his brother's problem but he felt sorry for Isha. Since she was clearly suffering unnecessarily due to it. Tushar managed to hurt her so much emotionally that she was not ready to marry any one. He even managed to destroy her name in such a way that no one was interested in marrying her. Mandar felt so sad whenever he saw her. But still Isha smiled at him. Finally when one day he was playing with his small boy, Isha came to him. Isha " I have started my company and it reached to it's top." Mandar was so shocked. She told him name of her company. It was really best company in India. He looked at her face. He saw that she was really happy. She didn't need any thing more now. She might not get ahead in personal level but she reached highs on professional level and she was happy with it. He could see true happiness in her eyes. Isha " I know you felt guilty. I can see it on your face. But it was not your fault. In fact you gave me courage to fight against Tushar. You made that Police complaint so Tushar never dared to harass me again. I am no longer scared of him. I know I didn't marry any one but that is my choice. Try to understand that it was not your fault or Tushar's fault. It was just my luck. Why else I found some one like Tushar in first place. There is some thing like destiny and sometimes we have to accept it. It seem as if it have written any one like Tushar in my life." Mandar smiled " Now don't jump on conclusion. After walking this way slowly you will reach on top places of ladder, it is possible that destiny might have better life partner for you and any way even if you reach on top still you got that position which no one can get. Think about it this way. You don't have responsibilities so you manage to concentrate on career and now you can even get nice partner." Isha smiled. " I don't feel so much hope on that ground. Any way it doesn't matter. I am happy regarding my career and I brought one gift for you." She gave him a envelope. He looked confused. But he couldn't say no to her so he took it from her. He was shocked. She had offered him a big job in her company with big salary. "I don't deserved it." " I am your boss. Let me decide. So I take it as yes then. But remember one thing I am a strict boss." He nodded. He was so shocked. She was owner of such big company. He saw her body guards and driver in corner. He smiled with pleasure.He was so glad that Tushar didn't able to destroy her. He knew that she took psychiatrist treatment on suggestion of Police regarding Post Trauma Symptoms. He didn't know regarding Tushar but he could see that treatment worked perfectly for her. He started remembering those nightmare which he had on nights after Tushar's incidence. He looked at his boy who was doing every stunt in that garden on just one hope that his Dad would take care of him. He decided that he might also took number from her. After all one visit to psychiatrist would not harm him. Then later on he would decide what he had to be. He decided it in mind and then he turned back his attention to his son. He started playing with him again.
The End
Mandar started walking on road which would take him to his school. His old school was some thing which he had left behind long time ago. That old school was that part of his world which he managed to totally forgot. He never wished to forgot but he managed to do that due to his busy schedule. After school his life become just race. He didn't want to complaint about it since he just love it. He loved moving fast in life. Specially since he managed to get field of his choice. He just felt from heart that it was perfect life. He never missed a thing, until now. He didn't saw it again. But his office work forced him to visited his home town. He was standing once more before his school. He sensed that feel from mind. He started to looking around town. It was same old town which was having effects on each point. He started regretting not visiting it.

He was sure that he could remember every thing. But then he could call him. But then he remembered his sister-in-law Rani. Even if he questioned his brother Tushar about it. He was sure Rani would started harassing Tushar. Rani was too jealous by nature. She always kept doubting Tushar about every thing. He felt that so wrong. It seemed like injustice to Tushar. She just always kept dragging him in every thing. He didn't want to increase his miseries more so he thought he must not ask him about this girl. But his thoughts kept going back to this girl. He decided that he might talk with Dad. After all Dad could easily tell about it. He needed to call his parents to tell them that he was safe and sound.

He felt if need arise he would dig it later on but he didn't want to talk about it on that moment. He decided to change subject so he talked for long time with his parents. He didn't talk about Isha. He started working on project. This time he was relaxed. He started working properly. Then he went to Ritika to chat. She was his to be wife. He could share this with her. But he did't want to share it. He didn't want to disturb her. He found it so hard to tell her that he could take that Isha out of his mind. He didn't understand what was happening. He didn't believe that he was in love with her. But she just kept coming in his brain as if he had remembered her on some way. That night he went to sleep after chat with Ritika .

He couldn't have made mistake regarding that photo. He clearly remembered Isha. But then Tushar never planned to marry Isha. It was so strange and why did that Isha was chasing him now. One thing was clear to Mandar that Isha was wrong character. He decided that he would never go near that school again. In fact he decided that he would complete his work as soon as possible and send some one else next time. He was sure that he would manage it. He just decided it. Then he tried to sleep but he knew that he couldn't sleep that night. He just kept looking at roof. Finally he fall asleep at 3 o'clock in morning. It was worst night for him. He just kept praying to god that she would not meet him again. He knew that from next day. He would keep feeling scared. He wanted to reduce his fear but he could. He just kept remembering Isha's photo and hopes in Tushar's voice. That Isha must be a worst girl. He felt that Tushar was in love with her. She must had cheated him. He began to hate her and at same time he was scared that she might destroy Tushar's life again. He just wanted to forget her. But when he tried hard, he just kept remembering her. That whole night just went in remembering her so it was worst night for him.
Mandar told his Boss next day that he needed to go back to his home. Boss " Come on Mandar. You can quit now. They just loved your project. They called me today only that they want you to become their project in charge. Think about this you will become project in charge of that office. Then you will be boss that whole office will be under your hand. You are going up on ladder without any wrong back up on your own efforts so why do you want to back out now? Tell your parents to join you or you can stay with your wife. But you want my advice. I will tell you that it your old town so perfect place to settle. In fact I just don't understand why did you left that town? I just want to settle there only but just can't able to." " I want to settle that's why we shifted?" " Try to understand.." Then his Boss tried to convince him. Finally Mandar understood one thing if he said no to thing now then he would never get promotion or increment in this office. Boss " So try to understand. Stay there for at least few days. Then I might convince senior to change their decision. Try to understand." Mandar knew that he didn't have option. He just had to listen to them. Mandar knew that he had to say yes. He knew very well at beginning he did so well with his project that they must be increased and he couldn't jeopardized their project just because it didn't suit him. It was so wrong their money was involved. He couldn't cheat them like that. Mandar " Fine. I will work for them. I know I must not felt like that." " Great so you got my point." Mandar decided that he would stay in this town. He needed to understand those town which would give new chance to them. He started to think about it in that way but he just sensed every time that face of Isha came before him. He felt scared. But he decided that he didn't do any crime so why did he needed to feel scared. He called his parents and told then about his transfer and promotion." But why did you need to settle in that town?" His Dad was literally screaming on him. Mandar was so angry. Mandar " Because I want to save my job and my future. Dad I am getting married soon. I want nice salary. So for sake of god think about me for once instead of your elder son. I am also your son and I feel you feel forgetting it." " Shut up!! I am doing this just for you that stupid girl was going to harass you now." " Come on Dad. I will not stop to talk with her next time." Dad didn't sound relieved at all. Dad " I just don't like this idea." " But Dad I have to do it. Since it doesn't matter what I like or you like, we have to follow order of Boss. Dad I am not Boss in office. I am just working under them and you know very well. I am staying here. It doesn't matter what I feel." Dad " Okay so can we join you?" Mandar was shocked by this suggestion. He was so happy from heart. He didn't want to stay alone. "Perfect." " But what about Ritika?" He had chat along with Ritika. It seemed that she liked his parents and they could live by two flats side by side. After all prices of house were so less here. He explained it all to his Dad. Dad " Okay. But let us come first. Then slowly we will decide." Mandar was so happy with this idea. He told this all to Ritika who seemed okay with this arrangement. He just felt that his all problems were just imagination. He suddenly no longer felt scared of Isha. He slept peacefully on that day. Next day he went to office. He saw Isha on his way but he just ignored her. He was so shocked when Isha did same thing. She had in fact gave some angry look to him. He was so confused. He never hurt her and in fact she had hurt Tushar then why she had that angry look. In fact why did she was showing that letter to him. He decided that he must ignore her. Until one day he started sensing that some one was following him. He could hear foot steps from behind and when he turned back that fellow just managed to vanish. He was so confused. He felt that he was at risk but he couldn't file a Police complaint. Until Isha didn't manage to hurt him, but why did she wanted to hurt him. He just didn't understand. This kept happening again and again. He just started getting scared. Then one day he sensed that some one from behind started to catch with him. It was scary feeling. It needed to look back but his heart was chasing so fast. He just kept running ahead. ,When he reached office, he was breathless. He turned back but no one was behind. He was so confused. He just didn't felt that he imagined it all. Then suddenly his junior appeared. Junior " Why were you running so fast Sir?" " Ohh it was you. I just felt some one was following me." Junior looked at him in confused way. " It was not me. It was your brother. I just don't get it. Why don't you walk with your brother? He always kept following you. Is it some kind of game between brothers?" " What? It was not my brother. It was someone else." " My god!! I thought that he was your brother since he looked just like you." " So you saw him. That's great. I just wish I have some one to draw the face." " No need. He looked harmless." Then Junior changed subject. One thing was clear that he didn't want to get involved.
But from that day Mandar was no longer ready to ignore that follower. He decided that he might just go and ask Isha about it. But he felt that going alone like that seemed risky to him. He decided that he must talk with Ritika. She was his future wife so he must learn to handle things with her help. He told her every thing while chat. She suggested him a great idea. She told him that she could come with him. He just loved this idea. Then he suddenly remembered that Isha gave him her number. He gave it all to Ritika. She told him not to worry. She would handle it in sweet way. He began to relax after that. His that act proved fatal one day. Suddenly follower managed to come behind him. He sensed it but it was too late. He felt a strong pain on head and then suddenly every thing just got dissolved in that pain. He just fall down. He didn't even sensed that he screamed. Then he soon heard voice of his junior who was calling for help. When he woke up in hospital, Junior was sitting near him. Junior " It was same fellow. Don't worry Sir. I told every thing to Police. They even draw a picture. You were right sir. We should have avoided this. Only if I was brave enough to go to Police with you last time." He was crying. Mandar was feeling so much pain in head that he found it hard to talk. But still he did. Mandar " It's alright. It was not your mistake I was not sure on that time." " But I should have.." Then suddenly his parents and Ritika came. Ritika came near him. But she suddenly stopped as she saw his parents. Dad " What happened?" He was about to answer when Police came inside. Police " Excuse me. This is Police case we like to record statement first." " But this is my son." " And attacker is your another son." His Dad looked shocked. His Mom started crying loudly. Ritika looked at them with anger. " My brother? Why did he want to kill me?" " For property?" Mandar started laughing. " Sorry. But we don't have that much property." Police " Then what else?" Then Police turned to Ritika. " For girl?" " What? Tushar is not interested in Ritika. He had his wife and Ritika just belonged to me." Police " You can't be sure." Now Ritika looked so angry. " This is enough. You are throwing dirt on my character." She turned to his parents. " Why don't you tell them that your son is mad?" Mandar was so shocked. He always thought that Ritika loved him. But she was calling him mad. There was clear hate in her eyes regarding him. Mandar " I thought you love me." Ritika ran to him and took hold of his hand. " Of course I love you. But try to understand. I know you love your brother but we can't lie like that. Think about this in this way. What if he kill someone one day in his madness?" " What? You are talking about Tushar." Police stopped him. Police "Tell us all." " Tushar had mental problem from beginning. He was obsessed with Isha in strange way in college. He used to follow her everywhere. He started proposing her. At beginning she felt that he was nice boy but then one day worst thing happened. She was going out with him on date since their marriage was fixed. When a hawker came, he gave them bhel. Isha liked it so she smiled at him. Hawker returned her smile. That's all. Tushar got so angry. He started beating hawker like mad person. He didn't stop to hear any thing. It was worst for her. She kept screaming. But he didn't stop. Finally public took hold of him. Matter went to Police. Isha was so scared due to it. That she decided that she didn't want to marry him. After that she never got married. But Tushar found new girl friend. He kept changing girls. Finally he married to Rani. She thought that it was over. Until one day she find those letter. he was showing those signs of obsession again and your parents are not ready to take him to Doctor." Mandar was so shocked. " Mom..Dad.. is it true?" Mom just kept crying and Dad just sat quietly in corner. " Did Rani knew this?" Mom " No..but she guessed it soon after marriage. In fact Tushar married to Rani just because Rani was from same office where once Isha used to work. He wanted to hurt Isha. But it never worked. Isha never liked him." Mandar " No one like such a person." Mom " How can you talk like that about your brother?" " Mom.. Dad .. You let this happen to me." Mandar turned to Police. " I just want my brother to sent in mental care. Can you do that?" " Sure. We will manage. We will present the case before judge who will force him to go in mental hospital." " Thanks." Then Mandar closed his eyes. Doctor told them all to go out.
From next day Mandar's new life was started. His parents were against him. They wanted him to take back his case. Tushar kept making calls to him. Tushar was not apologizing. Tushar " I know you blame me but it was your mistake. You tried to take Isha from me. I saw her talking with you. She showed you my letter and even given her number to you. Why?" " Because she wanted to talk about you. She wanted to get rid of you. Why don't you understand you are mentally sick? You need a treatment." " What are you trying to tell me? I am mad." Suddenly Tushar started laughing in strange way. Mandar sensed one thing that he was not normal. Mandar " Please go to Doctor." " No need to advice me. But if I see ever near Isha then you will not need Doctor this time. I will just kill you. " Then Tushar disconnected phone. From that day Mandar decided that he would keep away from Tushar. He no longer wanted to keep any connection with his own family. It was horrible. His parents were abusing him. He just hated it. Finally he decided to take back complaint. Police suggested same thing since Tushar agreed to go to psychiatrist. After that Police told Tushar never to enter in home town where Isha and Mandar stayed. So Mandar got married with Ritika. He never knew what was his brother's problem but he felt sorry for Isha. Since she was clearly suffering unnecessarily due to it. Tushar managed to hurt her so much emotionally that she was not ready to marry any one. He even managed to destroy her name in such a way that no one was interested in marrying her. Mandar felt so sad whenever he saw her. But still Isha smiled at him. Finally when one day he was playing with his small boy, Isha came to him. Isha " I have started my company and it reached to it's top." Mandar was so shocked. She told him name of her company. It was really best company in India. He looked at her face. He saw that she was really happy. She didn't need any thing more now. She might not get ahead in personal level but she reached highs on professional level and she was happy with it. He could see true happiness in her eyes. Isha " I know you felt guilty. I can see it on your face. But it was not your fault. In fact you gave me courage to fight against Tushar. You made that Police complaint so Tushar never dared to harass me again. I am no longer scared of him. I know I didn't marry any one but that is my choice. Try to understand that it was not your fault or Tushar's fault. It was just my luck. Why else I found some one like Tushar in first place. There is some thing like destiny and sometimes we have to accept it. It seem as if it have written any one like Tushar in my life." Mandar smiled " Now don't jump on conclusion. After walking this way slowly you will reach on top places of ladder, it is possible that destiny might have better life partner for you and any way even if you reach on top still you got that position which no one can get. Think about it this way. You don't have responsibilities so you manage to concentrate on career and now you can even get nice partner." Isha smiled. " I don't feel so much hope on that ground. Any way it doesn't matter. I am happy regarding my career and I brought one gift for you." She gave him a envelope. He looked confused. But he couldn't say no to her so he took it from her. He was shocked. She had offered him a big job in her company with big salary. "I don't deserved it." " I am your boss. Let me decide. So I take it as yes then. But remember one thing I am a strict boss." He nodded. He was so shocked. She was owner of such big company. He saw her body guards and driver in corner. He smiled with pleasure.He was so glad that Tushar didn't able to destroy her. He knew that she took psychiatrist treatment on suggestion of Police regarding Post Trauma Symptoms. He didn't know regarding Tushar but he could see that treatment worked perfectly for her. He started remembering those nightmare which he had on nights after Tushar's incidence. He looked at his boy who was doing every stunt in that garden on just one hope that his Dad would take care of him. He decided that he might also took number from her. After all one visit to psychiatrist would not harm him. Then later on he would decide what he had to be. He decided it in mind and then he turned back his attention to his son. He started playing with him again.
The End
