Curse of sarees
Ruchi started to sense that she was wasting too much time of selling of one product. She had found it from her mother-in-law's cupboard. Actually it was totally strange story. Her mother-in-law had three sons and two daughter. Her husband was youngest. She always felt that it was hard to guess how did her mother-in-law managed those kids. But she did and she managed it in best way. Her mother-in-law was nice lady. But she was strict in many ways. Like she needed respect on every day. So all of them needed to give her some gift. Whenever they gave gift to her mother-in-law, she always started to talk about it. Sometimes she admired it and sometimes she criticized it. But they expected one thing that she was using it. But when she died, they all received biggest shock of life. They found her cupboard full of their gifts. It became clear. That she never used any of them. She took every thing but she packed. All ladies were shocked. They all decided to divide it first. But soon they sensed it was too much for them. They decided that they must give them up. On that point Ruchi suggested " What do you feel if we sell them?" Pratiksha " Sell them? Come on selling is not joke. You can't just sell them like that." Tina " She is right Ruchi bhabhi it is not possible to sell. I don't have that much time." Ruchi " So what you feel? We would just give this stuff in charity?" Every one nodded. But then Sarita interfered " We are going to give it up any way so why we need to feel concern where it goes? If Ruchi wanted to try to sell it then let her do it." " But selling stuff like that could hurt people. I mean these things belonged to dead person. We can shift curse in their life." Nikita " Come on. Let Ruchi do it." Ruchi " I feel I want to sell it. If you are not selling it or purchasing it then you are not curse then why did you object?" Nikita " I am eldest so I feel that I can now decide in this issue so I suggest let Rucha so in her way. Pratiksha if you feel that you want to give it for charity then you might choose.." " No..No Nikita Bhabhi you are eldest in us all. We will give it to Rucha. I just felt one thing that Rucha was too young so she might do some mistake." " But we must give her chance to learn from her mistake in life." Purva " Nikita Bhabhi what if curse fall on her?" Tina " Come on my dear sister grow up now." Purva looked hurt. Nikita " Stop taunting. If she wanted to believe let her stay out of this. Purva if you feel this will give curse then I suggest you that you should just stay away from this. We will handle it." Purva looked upset and she went away. Then slowly every one went away. So Ruchi had a big job to do. She needed to found customers alone now. She began to do that. She was sending pictures of every items to many friends. She told them that she was starting business so step by step she began to present them to world. She was so happy. It might be beginning of her business. This way she could judge customer's demand. Then she could find that supplier. She just loved this idea. It was so wonderful. She needed more money. She wanted to become rich like other family member and during this process she managed to complete forgot regarding lunch. It was so wrong. She had to leave her job half done. She just wished only if she had cook in house every one else had. Actually she had one cook but she needed new television, air condition etc. Every thing was turning outdated but still she didn't have money. Her husband was nice loving but he just couldn't have mind for business. His salary was increasing but not as fast as their demands. She wanted to arrange it all before their daugher went in college. She knew then her demand would increase. She was just ten years old now. But it seemed as if on yesterday she was one year old. She was growing quickly in her eyes so she was remaining prepared on every point. She wanted money so she decided to stop service of cook which had created big issue for family. That cook was old servant specially arranged by mother-in-law so she considered as rebel. Her mother-in-law called her. She still remembered anger of mother-in-law that servant was standing on side. Her maid must had cried. Mother-in-law " Why did you fire Kashi? What was wrong with her service?" Rucha was so upset. She didn't want to confess her financial status. She didn't want to insult her husband. But she sensed that she had to answer. " Kashi Bai is great. But.." " Is about not adjusting budget in small salary?" She looked towards feet and nodded. " Your generation you just don't understand how to manage in small budget. You want everything. But why don't you at least inform me before sending Kashi away. I will place her somewhere else. Kashi do you like to work in Purva's house?" Kashi Bai nodded since she preferred daughter over daughter-in-law specially after one fired her. Rucha still felt guilty for firing that honest woman but she was not mature. She wanted to save so after that she never got any servant so she had to run in kitchen to manage it as best as she could.
Rucha was cooking but whole time her eyes where on mobile. She was hoping for customer. Few people came and inquired. She began to feel hope of sell. She started searching for proper offers when she suddenly received that call, it was from unknown number. She was so confused. Then she thought that it might be some customer. So she decided to take it. That man " I want to talk to you about things you are selling?" " Yes do you like them? I will tell you about them. Which one you want to buy?" " Actually I wanted something for men." " For men? But I have clothes for females only." " Ohh I thought that it was new shop for clothes. We need to some clothes for men." Then he kept chatting for long time. He kept telling about his requirement. It was really boring since Rucha needed to complete her work. Finally she gave some excuse but still even after that this man kept talking about his clothes. Finally she said bye and switched off his call. That day she sensed one thing selling clothes or things was not easy job. She decided that it was not her piece of cake. But then her friend called. She was so happy when she told her that she would bring a group of friends. Rucha started jumping with joy. Then they decided their plan. Rucha was so happy. She just decided to place everything in nice way. On that moment Nikita called " So what is going on?" " I have decided to sell all products." " Great. But have you arranged everything in proper fashion?" " Yes I am just arranging it. I want every thing in proper way. I want to learn different direction which will give happiness to our soul of customer so that they will buy products properly." Nikita " Yes Yes.. you must do that. You need to learn those direction which will show new style of fashion on every point. We need to do it with care. I mean you. But if you need my help then I will come. But then you know I am little bit busy today.." " No..No..it is fine. I know I must work hard to get money." " No sweetheart we will always help you. Never consider us separate from you. This up and downs in life are common. When we start business, at first year we just suffered losses. But now we are rich. Like us you will also manage to get new direction in life. You will also earn nice amount if you keep trying." "Thanks. But I want to work hard myself to get things as per my choice." " Great I must not waste your more time so bye." Rucha thanked her and switched off her mobile. She didn't want to waste time then she suddenly remembered. She needed to keep it on for customers. She might needed to tell them direction. She was so happy when they came. She told them about those sarees. She told them all those things. They all looked just brand new. She knew that her mother-in-law never used them. But she couldn't tell this to her friends. She knew that they would like to buy second hand product. She told them just regarding place and specialty of those things. Many of them started selecting them. When suddenly her mobile rang, it was voice of small girl " Auntie don't sell those things or my Mom will never come back?" "Who are you?" " Radha!! you don't remember me. But I was in photos." " Which photo?" Then that small girl started laughing. Rucha began to feel so scared. She decided that it must be some prankster. But then she suddenly felt lying was not wise decision. She decided to tell truth. She didn't want them to hear it from outside. Rucha " I will not lie to you. These sarees where those sarees which were once gifted to my mother-in-law but she never used." Suddenly many friends put down sarees. " We don't buy such clothes. They might have attached soul." Rucha " You can't believe these things in this century." But it was clear. They all believed it. Then slowly her every customer went out without saree. She was upset. She started crying but she felt that lying was not wise. She just went in kitchen and started doing her work. She had to finish it before 3 o'clock. Normally her daughter came at that time. She cooked lunch. Then she took all those sarees and kept them in cupboard. She knew no one was going to purchase them. But she decided that she might hide it from other ladies of family. She didn't want to feel embarrassed.Then she went ahead with her daily work. Soon she got busy with it. She managed to forget sorrows of failure. She started to enjoy her life again. She began to count money and started her budgeting again. She sensed there were many spots on which she could budget so she smiled happily. She smiled happily with hope. She decided that she could ignore sale of those sarees. She felt one thing that she could become rich without them. She just locked them in one cupboard and decided to forget about them. Suddenly after that phone she was not interested in taking risk, she kept them same way as her mother-in-law did. She thought that she could easily lie to others while keeping them inside. She started doing her work. Her daughter came then her husband came. Soon she was happy and perfect. She managed to forgot those sarees totally in her mind.
Rucha was living her life happily when suddenly Rucha one day Nikita called her. Nikita " Did you manage to sell those sarees?" Rucha managed to totally forget about them. But when Nikita asked, she remembered. Rucha " I am trying." She didn't want to lie. After all if Nikita asked for share, she could gave it to her. "What happened?" " Actually I told truth and customers went away." " You told them whole truth. Are you out of your mind? No one buy things of dead person. They never believe that they were not used. You should have hide it." " I was planning to..but..do you know Radha?" " Radha? Who?" " Someone from photo." " Ohh did you mean sister of our husband who died at young age?" " They had one more sister?" " Yes she died when she was little kid." " Died? Due to what?" " She died due heavy fever. I don't know all proper details. But she was suffering due to it. I heard once our mother-in-law telling that she used to scream due to pains. It was worst for all kids. They used to hide in room. It was worst for kids. They still kept getting nightmare due to it. Actually once my husband woke up screaming he told this to me." " Just horrible!!" " But who mentioned her to you? Did your husband also screamed?" " No..No...actually.." Then she told whole story step by step. Nikita was shocked. " This is so confusing. No one know about her. In fact no one mentions her name. She is curse in their mind...you took right decision. Don't sell those sarees. I don't want to see you in risk. If you want to start business I will give you capital." " I know but talking money from you? " " No arguments. Call your customer and start again." Rucha was so happy. She called her friends. She convinced them about her new product when they agreed. She contacted different suppliers and started choosing dresses. She began to enjoy it. Then suddenly her daughter came out of her room. She thought that she must stop her work. But her daughter took interest in it. She was so happy about it. She began to tell her soon they both started deciding. It was wonderful. Her daughter even agreed to do her homework and she studied with interest. Suddenly that became work of her household when her husband came home. After relaxing for sometime then he started dealing with dealer. She was afraid that he might take in wrong way. But he was happy that she started business by help of Nikita Bhabhi. He said that his elder brother insisted for long time. So they started every thing happily. It was hard work but it would show different concepts. They were so happy about it. Her friends started coming. Soon she managed to get money when she suddenly received call from friend. " My saree was new." " Yes of course. I told you before." " Then why did some one calling herself Radha was threatening me?" " Who? Radha? But I can show you all those old sarees. Your saree is brand new!!" " I know I can see label of company there. But we all receiving strange calls since purchase of saree." " What? Every one is receiving calls." " Yes. They all don't want to take risk." " But those are new sarees. Will you come here?" " Yes I am coming there. I want my money back if you have given me your mother-in-law's saree." " I am not lying. I can show you place from where I bought that sarees." " Fine. We are bringing Police with us." Rucha was shocked. But she felt that she must face the music now. Rucha " Wonderful. I am waiting for you." She immediately contacted her dealer. She was so angry. She told him that he must come now. He was arguing but when she told Police were coming and he would become suspect if he didn't some. Suddenly he seemed willing. She had long list of suppliers but she decided that one was going to be enough. Soon those customers came. But supplier was not there. She called him again. Then Police personally checked all those products and their order. Police " That lady is telling truth. She bought it just few days ago. I feel some one is playing prank on you." Rucha " But you must punish that Prankster. This way that girl destroy my business." " That girl? You know her." Rucha nodded and told everything to Police. " So never sold those sarees and still ghost is after me. I don't understand why?" Police started laughing. Police " You still believe in ghost?" " Then who is this girl. No one know about Radha." " Except your family. I want meet them all." Rucha was so scared. She didn't want to involve her family in it." Did you need to involve them in this?" Police " We must." Her customers " Or pay us money. We will return sarees." Rucha " Fine. Take your money." Rucha went in room. She bought money. On that point supplier entered. Supplier " What happened?" " Did you sell these sarees?" " Not all of them but many sarees are supplied by me. If you want I can tell about other suppliers too." Police " So these are new sarees." " Of course. No doubt about it." Rucha was upset by this now. Rucha " Just take this money and give back my sarees and go away." But supplier started to interfere " Why are they rejecting these sarees?" They told every thing to him. Supplier started laughing. " You are scared of small girl. Very strange!! Just ignore call." Suddenly every one began to feel that it was great idea. They could block call. " Come on that girl was just running one prank that's all." So every one agreed and went away with sarees. Then Police and suppliers went back to work. But Rucha felt so sad from soul. She was having strange fear in her heart. She decided that she must discuss this with family. She decided that she must discuss it first with husband so she called him and told him every thing.
Satish was working in office when Rucha called. He was expecting normal cheerful conversation about sale and her earning. Satish knew that Rucha wanted to start some business from long time. She wanted to become rich like others. She also had that skill inside her. She needed just one big break. She started enjoying that business as soon as it started. He wanted her to enjoy life. He always felt that she was keeping herself locked in this house. She just managed to make herself so much tense regarding budget that she started to get upset on every time. He knew that his salary was not enough. But he also knew that they could manage in it. But Rucha seemed to be convinced that she needed extra income. She just kept searching for resources. At beginning he tried to convince her but then his brother started to convince him that he must gave her opportunity to run some business. She could start earning more and then she would feel happy and confident about every thing. He didn't like that idea at beginning since he didn't want money to effect their relation but when Nikita Bhabhi gave offer. He decided to take it so he expected that they would pay amount back soon. But he was so shocked when he heard everything. Satish " I don't understand why did any person want to harass us like that. I mean we never had any enemies." " Police said it must be a prankster." " How could a prankster know about Radha? It have to be someone from family. " " But why did a family member do that?" " Don't want to believe it but still truth remains same. We need to accept truth. Outsiders never know about Radha.." Before Rucha could say something else suddenly Satish's boss came there. Satish " I have to go back to work bye." He just disconnected. Rucha was so tense now. She couldn't believe it. But Satish was right. It had to be someone who belonged to his family. But why did any one from family could do it. She never hurt any one. She started remembering every incidence. Then she suddenly thought about Kashi Bai she was from old times. She must had known this. She could have done this after all she always had anger towards her since she fired her from job. She didn't understand who was responsible for it until now. But now Kashi Bai seemed to be fit to it. She began to call Kashi Bai. She felt that she could guess it by her voice. She was calling her when her landline rang. She took that phone. She was so shocked when she understood that it was once again same small girl. But what shocked her most was Kashi Bai was talking on phone. She started to shiver with fear so who was that girl. She told Kashi Bai to wait and started talking on land line. " Why are you irritating me? I am not selling your sarees. I am selling sarees which I bought from shops." " You are lying. You are selling Mom's saress. " " No I am not."But that small girl kept screaming on her. It was getting too much. She kept arguing but that girl kept blaming. Then suddenly that girl said " Fine. I am coming to get those sarees." " What?" " I want Mom's sarees. I am coming." " How did you come here?" " By my wings." Then that girl started laughing. Rucha was so confused. " You can't fly. Stop irritating." " I can fly. I am going to fly." Then she heard voices. One thing was clear that girl went away. Then she suddenly heard screaming of man who was calling " Purva." She was shocked and confused. She looked in caller ID. This number did not belong to house of Purva. She decided that she must had heard something totally wrong. She went inside room. Then she got busy in doing her work. When her phone rang again, she was scared now. But then she saw number. It belonged Nikita Bhai. She decided that she could take it. She started talking. " Nikita Bhabhi I just received call from that girl.." " Forget it. Purva jumped from first floor." " Why?" " I don't know. We must go to hospital. It is going to become suicide case. Just call immediately to Satish." Rucha agreed and called Satish. They both decided that they would keep their daughter in neighbor's house. She sat there. She was so nervous until now she always thought that Purva was happily married. But this was something she never expected. She never thought that Purva could act this way. Purva was always little bit timid. She always kept away from every one. Many times Rucha felt that she was easily bullied. Rucha was so tense when her phone rang again. Nikita Bhabhi was crying. " Purva is dead." " What? But why did she do that?" " Just come here. Then we will talk. Police are here too." Rucha " I will come." Rucha just ran towards neighbor's house. She told them every thing. She requested her to pick up her daughter. That lady agreed. She stood on gate for long time. When Satish came, she told him everything. They immediately sat in auto.
Satish started to talking in Auto. Satish " She was never happy with him. He used to harass her. He wanted her to move just as per his wish like slave. She wanted to sense those touches of thinking which would give light in life. But he wanted just darkness for her. He kept telling her that she must do this and she must do that. Never gave her any freedom. I just never liked that man. Now he managed to kill her. He managed to destroy her." Satish started crying. But Rucha began to sense something totally different. That call of Radha who told her that she was going to fly was matching with timing. She wanted to tell this. But then Satish was already angry and upset over his sister's death. She didn't want to increase his anger. She just don't wanted to remind him about Radha specially in this situation. When they started walking towards hospital, she started shivering. She didn't imagine condition of Purva's Body now. She knew that Satish was her brother so she had to visit her but she was too scared. She just didn't understand ways to deal with this. She was started to feel strange effect on her as if she wanted to laugh. It was strange people cry over sorrows. But she wanted to laugh over it. She kept telling her soul that it was just dream. Nothing but part of her imagination. She fully managed to believe that this was nothing but one big dream created by her mind. Then she suddenly sensed one fear. She might laugh before other people. It was horrible thought. She never wanted to do that. She tried best to keep face full of sorrows. But she had one bad habit. She might started laughing on that any situation. She went inside hospital. She went with Satish. She was shivering when she entered. She saw body on stretcher. She saw that it was horrible. There were lot of wounds which were still full of blood. She started to shiver. On that point Police asked her. " Did she call you?" She wanted to say yes. But her voice was not coming out. She tried hard to talk but she couldn't. She started screaming. But she couldn't even scream. She was so scared. She started running. Suddenly nurses and ward boys took hold of her. Then Doctor came running towards her. She felt slight pain of injection. Police turned to Satish " Do you know? Why did your sister called your wife?" " Purva?!! She never used to call her. In fact she never liked to talk with her. But we use to get calls from Radha." " Who is Radha?" Satish explained " She was my dead sister." " How could she call?" Then Satish explained every thing. Police " So complaint must be there." " Sir yes. Now will you please let me go to my wife." Nikita Bhabhi " I will tell you remaining things." Tina " I always felt something was wrong with her. She used to talk to me sometimes like Radha. Mom used to scream on her. Slowly she stopped due to Mom's fear." Satish started to scream on her " Why don't you tell us?" Tina was so angry. " Mom saw it so why did I suppose to tell it to you again. Why are you throwing your frustration on me? Go and see your sick wife. Purva managed to turn her mad too." Then suddenly one Doctor came. " She is not mad. She is just suffering from trauma which will be over after some time. But your sister Purva was suffering from mental problem. Still she is dead now so we can't do anything about it." Nikita Bhabhi " What was her problem? " " I can't tell you exactly but I feel that she might have developed multiple personality disorder. She tried to hide it since Radha and Purva both were timid personality. It was perfect until she didn't need to face fear of anything until your Mom died. Then suddenly Radha's personality wanted to go back to Mom while Purva wanted to stay here. With those sarees she felt special attachement and when Rucha wanted to sell them. She started throwing tantrum." Tina " But Purva was scared of curse. She never wanted sarees." " She was scared of Radha. She must had sensed her in soul. " Satish " But she never confess." "As I told you before those both girls were shy." Nikita Bhabhi's husband " But Radha was never shy." " But Purva was too little to remember that." Pratiksha " But how did you know all this?" " Because I am psychiatrist and I have just talked with Rucha." Satish started laughing while crying. " She could talk." " Of course. Go and meet her." Satish ran inside. Remaining brothers stayed with Purva's body while Police took statement. But ladies went inside to talk with Rucha. Police " Great Now I can free your brother-in-law." " But he was not nice man." " Then he might caught in next case but in this case your sister was mad so he had to get fair chance." Police went away. Slowly Rucha came out with Satish. When she saw Purva's body again. She started crying loudly. Satish wanted to stop her but Psychiatrist stopped him. " Let her cry." Slowly every one started crying. It seemed as if they were crying for both Radha as well as Purva. But soon they had to reduce their voice since Nurse came to warn them. So they all went out to cry.
The End
Ruchi started to sense that she was wasting too much time of selling of one product. She had found it from her mother-in-law's cupboard. Actually it was totally strange story. Her mother-in-law had three sons and two daughter. Her husband was youngest. She always felt that it was hard to guess how did her mother-in-law managed those kids. But she did and she managed it in best way. Her mother-in-law was nice lady. But she was strict in many ways. Like she needed respect on every day. So all of them needed to give her some gift. Whenever they gave gift to her mother-in-law, she always started to talk about it. Sometimes she admired it and sometimes she criticized it. But they expected one thing that she was using it. But when she died, they all received biggest shock of life. They found her cupboard full of their gifts. It became clear. That she never used any of them. She took every thing but she packed. All ladies were shocked. They all decided to divide it first. But soon they sensed it was too much for them. They decided that they must give them up. On that point Ruchi suggested " What do you feel if we sell them?" Pratiksha " Sell them? Come on selling is not joke. You can't just sell them like that." Tina " She is right Ruchi bhabhi it is not possible to sell. I don't have that much time." Ruchi " So what you feel? We would just give this stuff in charity?" Every one nodded. But then Sarita interfered " We are going to give it up any way so why we need to feel concern where it goes? If Ruchi wanted to try to sell it then let her do it." " But selling stuff like that could hurt people. I mean these things belonged to dead person. We can shift curse in their life." Nikita " Come on. Let Ruchi do it." Ruchi " I feel I want to sell it. If you are not selling it or purchasing it then you are not curse then why did you object?" Nikita " I am eldest so I feel that I can now decide in this issue so I suggest let Rucha so in her way. Pratiksha if you feel that you want to give it for charity then you might choose.." " No..No Nikita Bhabhi you are eldest in us all. We will give it to Rucha. I just felt one thing that Rucha was too young so she might do some mistake." " But we must give her chance to learn from her mistake in life." Purva " Nikita Bhabhi what if curse fall on her?" Tina " Come on my dear sister grow up now." Purva looked hurt. Nikita " Stop taunting. If she wanted to believe let her stay out of this. Purva if you feel this will give curse then I suggest you that you should just stay away from this. We will handle it." Purva looked upset and she went away. Then slowly every one went away. So Ruchi had a big job to do. She needed to found customers alone now. She began to do that. She was sending pictures of every items to many friends. She told them that she was starting business so step by step she began to present them to world. She was so happy. It might be beginning of her business. This way she could judge customer's demand. Then she could find that supplier. She just loved this idea. It was so wonderful. She needed more money. She wanted to become rich like other family member and during this process she managed to complete forgot regarding lunch. It was so wrong. She had to leave her job half done. She just wished only if she had cook in house every one else had. Actually she had one cook but she needed new television, air condition etc. Every thing was turning outdated but still she didn't have money. Her husband was nice loving but he just couldn't have mind for business. His salary was increasing but not as fast as their demands. She wanted to arrange it all before their daugher went in college.

She was growing quickly in her eyes so she was remaining prepared on every point. She wanted money so she decided to stop service of cook which had created big issue for family.

Her maid must had cried. Mother-in-law " Why did you fire Kashi? What was wrong with her service?" Rucha was so upset. She didn't want to confess her financial status.

" Your generation you just don't understand how to manage in small budget. You want everything. But why don't you at least inform me before sending Kashi away. I will place her somewhere else. Kashi do you like to work in Purva's house?" Kashi Bai nodded since she preferred daughter over daughter-in-law specially after one fired her. Rucha still felt guilty for firing that honest woman but she was not mature. She wanted to save so after that she never got any servant so she had to run in kitchen to manage it as best as she could.

She was so happy when she told her that she would bring a group of friends. Rucha started jumping with joy. Then they decided their plan. Rucha was so happy. She just decided to place everything in nice way. On that moment Nikita called " So what is going on?" " I have decided to sell all products." " Great.

" Radha!! you don't remember me. But I was in photos." " Which photo?" Then that small girl started laughing. Rucha began to feel so scared. She decided that it must be some prankster. But then she suddenly felt lying was not wise decision. She decided to tell truth. She didn't want them to hear it from outside. Rucha " I will not lie to you. These sarees where those sarees which were once gifted to my mother-in-law but she never used." Suddenly many friends put down sarees. " We don't buy such clothes. They might have attached soul." Rucha " You can't believe these things in this century." But it was clear. They all believed it. Then slowly her every customer went out without saree. She was upset. She started crying but she felt that lying was not wise. She just went in kitchen and started doing her work. She had to finish it before 3 o'clock. Normally her daughter came at that time. She cooked lunch. Then she took all those sarees and kept them in cupboard. She knew no one was going to purchase them. But she decided that she might hide it from other ladies of family. She didn't want to feel embarrassed.Then she went ahead with her daily work. Soon she got busy with it. She managed to forget sorrows of failure. She started to enjoy her life again. She began to count money and started her budgeting again. She sensed there were many spots on which she could budget so she smiled happily. She smiled happily with hope. She decided that she could ignore sale of those sarees. She felt one thing that she could become rich without them. She just locked them in one cupboard and decided to forget about them. Suddenly after that phone she was not interested in taking risk, she kept them same way as her mother-in-law did. She thought that she could easily lie to others while keeping them inside. She started doing her work. Her daughter came then her husband came. Soon she was happy and perfect. She managed to forgot those sarees totally in her mind.
Rucha was living her life happily when suddenly Rucha one day Nikita called her. Nikita " Did you manage to sell those sarees?" Rucha managed to totally forget about them. But when Nikita asked, she remembered. Rucha " I am trying." She didn't want to lie. After all if Nikita asked for share, she could gave it to her. "What happened?" " Actually I told truth and customers went away." " You told them whole truth. Are you out of your mind? No one buy things of dead person. They never believe that they were not used. You should have hide it." " I was planning to..but..do you know Radha?" " Radha? Who?" " Someone from photo." " Ohh did you mean sister of our husband who died at young age?" " They had one more sister?" " Yes she died when she was little kid." " Died? Due to what?" " She died due heavy fever. I don't know all proper details. But she was suffering due to it. I heard once our mother-in-law telling that she used to scream due to pains. It was worst for all kids. They used to hide in room. It was worst for kids. They still kept getting nightmare due to it. Actually once my husband woke up screaming he told this to me." " Just horrible!!" " But who mentioned her to you? Did your husband also screamed?" " No..No...actually.." Then she told whole story step by step. Nikita was shocked. " This is so confusing. No one know about her. In fact no one mentions her name. She is curse in their mind...you took right decision. Don't sell those sarees. I don't want to see you in risk. If you want to start business I will give you capital." " I know but talking money from you? " " No arguments. Call your customer and start again." Rucha was so happy. She called her friends. She convinced them about her new product when they agreed. She contacted different suppliers and started choosing dresses. She began to enjoy it. Then suddenly her daughter came out of her room. She thought that she must stop her work. But her daughter took interest in it. She was so happy about it. She began to tell her soon they both started deciding. It was wonderful. Her daughter even agreed to do her homework and she studied with interest. Suddenly that became work of her household when her husband came home. After relaxing for sometime then he started dealing with dealer. She was afraid that he might take in wrong way. But he was happy that she started business by help of Nikita Bhabhi. He said that his elder brother insisted for long time. So they started every thing happily. It was hard work but it would show different concepts. They were so happy about it. Her friends started coming. Soon she managed to get money when she suddenly received call from friend. " My saree was new." " Yes of course. I told you before." " Then why did some one calling herself Radha was threatening me?" " Who? Radha? But I can show you all those old sarees. Your saree is brand new!!" " I know I can see label of company there. But we all receiving strange calls since purchase of saree." " What? Every one is receiving calls." " Yes. They all don't want to take risk." " But those are new sarees. Will you come here?" " Yes I am coming there. I want my money back if you have given me your mother-in-law's saree." " I am not lying. I can show you place from where I bought that sarees." " Fine. We are bringing Police with us." Rucha was shocked. But she felt that she must face the music now. Rucha " Wonderful. I am waiting for you." She immediately contacted her dealer. She was so angry. She told him that he must come now. He was arguing but when she told Police were coming and he would become suspect if he didn't some. Suddenly he seemed willing. She had long list of suppliers but she decided that one was going to be enough. Soon those customers came. But supplier was not there. She called him again. Then Police personally checked all those products and their order. Police " That lady is telling truth. She bought it just few days ago. I feel some one is playing prank on you." Rucha " But you must punish that Prankster. This way that girl destroy my business." " That girl? You know her." Rucha nodded and told everything to Police. " So never sold those sarees and still ghost is after me. I don't understand why?" Police started laughing. Police " You still believe in ghost?" " Then who is this girl. No one know about Radha." " Except your family. I want meet them all." Rucha was so scared. She didn't want to involve her family in it." Did you need to involve them in this?" Police " We must." Her customers " Or pay us money. We will return sarees." Rucha " Fine. Take your money." Rucha went in room. She bought money. On that point supplier entered. Supplier " What happened?" " Did you sell these sarees?" " Not all of them but many sarees are supplied by me. If you want I can tell about other suppliers too." Police " So these are new sarees." " Of course. No doubt about it." Rucha was upset by this now. Rucha " Just take this money and give back my sarees and go away." But supplier started to interfere " Why are they rejecting these sarees?" They told every thing to him. Supplier started laughing. " You are scared of small girl. Very strange!! Just ignore call." Suddenly every one began to feel that it was great idea. They could block call. " Come on that girl was just running one prank that's all." So every one agreed and went away with sarees. Then Police and suppliers went back to work. But Rucha felt so sad from soul. She was having strange fear in her heart. She decided that she must discuss this with family. She decided that she must discuss it first with husband so she called him and told him every thing.
Satish was working in office when Rucha called. He was expecting normal cheerful conversation about sale and her earning. Satish knew that Rucha wanted to start some business from long time. She wanted to become rich like others. She also had that skill inside her. She needed just one big break. She started enjoying that business as soon as it started. He wanted her to enjoy life. He always felt that she was keeping herself locked in this house. She just managed to make herself so much tense regarding budget that she started to get upset on every time. He knew that his salary was not enough. But he also knew that they could manage in it. But Rucha seemed to be convinced that she needed extra income. She just kept searching for resources. At beginning he tried to convince her but then his brother started to convince him that he must gave her opportunity to run some business. She could start earning more and then she would feel happy and confident about every thing. He didn't like that idea at beginning since he didn't want money to effect their relation but when Nikita Bhabhi gave offer. He decided to take it so he expected that they would pay amount back soon. But he was so shocked when he heard everything. Satish " I don't understand why did any person want to harass us like that. I mean we never had any enemies." " Police said it must be a prankster." " How could a prankster know about Radha? It have to be someone from family. " " But why did a family member do that?" " Don't want to believe it but still truth remains same. We need to accept truth. Outsiders never know about Radha.." Before Rucha could say something else suddenly Satish's boss came there. Satish " I have to go back to work bye." He just disconnected. Rucha was so tense now. She couldn't believe it. But Satish was right. It had to be someone who belonged to his family. But why did any one from family could do it. She never hurt any one. She started remembering every incidence. Then she suddenly thought about Kashi Bai she was from old times. She must had known this. She could have done this after all she always had anger towards her since she fired her from job. She didn't understand who was responsible for it until now. But now Kashi Bai seemed to be fit to it. She began to call Kashi Bai. She felt that she could guess it by her voice. She was calling her when her landline rang. She took that phone. She was so shocked when she understood that it was once again same small girl. But what shocked her most was Kashi Bai was talking on phone. She started to shiver with fear so who was that girl. She told Kashi Bai to wait and started talking on land line. " Why are you irritating me? I am not selling your sarees. I am selling sarees which I bought from shops." " You are lying. You are selling Mom's saress. " " No I am not."But that small girl kept screaming on her. It was getting too much. She kept arguing but that girl kept blaming. Then suddenly that girl said " Fine. I am coming to get those sarees." " What?" " I want Mom's sarees. I am coming." " How did you come here?" " By my wings." Then that girl started laughing. Rucha was so confused. " You can't fly. Stop irritating." " I can fly. I am going to fly." Then she heard voices. One thing was clear that girl went away. Then she suddenly heard screaming of man who was calling " Purva." She was shocked and confused. She looked in caller ID. This number did not belong to house of Purva. She decided that she must had heard something totally wrong. She went inside room. Then she got busy in doing her work. When her phone rang again, she was scared now. But then she saw number. It belonged Nikita Bhai. She decided that she could take it. She started talking. " Nikita Bhabhi I just received call from that girl.." " Forget it. Purva jumped from first floor." " Why?" " I don't know. We must go to hospital. It is going to become suicide case. Just call immediately to Satish." Rucha agreed and called Satish. They both decided that they would keep their daughter in neighbor's house. She sat there. She was so nervous until now she always thought that Purva was happily married. But this was something she never expected. She never thought that Purva could act this way. Purva was always little bit timid. She always kept away from every one. Many times Rucha felt that she was easily bullied. Rucha was so tense when her phone rang again. Nikita Bhabhi was crying. " Purva is dead." " What? But why did she do that?" " Just come here. Then we will talk. Police are here too." Rucha " I will come." Rucha just ran towards neighbor's house. She told them every thing. She requested her to pick up her daughter. That lady agreed. She stood on gate for long time. When Satish came, she told him everything. They immediately sat in auto.
Satish started to talking in Auto. Satish " She was never happy with him. He used to harass her. He wanted her to move just as per his wish like slave. She wanted to sense those touches of thinking which would give light in life. But he wanted just darkness for her. He kept telling her that she must do this and she must do that. Never gave her any freedom. I just never liked that man. Now he managed to kill her. He managed to destroy her." Satish started crying. But Rucha began to sense something totally different. That call of Radha who told her that she was going to fly was matching with timing. She wanted to tell this. But then Satish was already angry and upset over his sister's death. She didn't want to increase his anger. She just don't wanted to remind him about Radha specially in this situation. When they started walking towards hospital, she started shivering. She didn't imagine condition of Purva's Body now. She knew that Satish was her brother so she had to visit her but she was too scared. She just didn't understand ways to deal with this. She was started to feel strange effect on her as if she wanted to laugh. It was strange people cry over sorrows. But she wanted to laugh over it. She kept telling her soul that it was just dream. Nothing but part of her imagination. She fully managed to believe that this was nothing but one big dream created by her mind. Then she suddenly sensed one fear. She might laugh before other people. It was horrible thought. She never wanted to do that. She tried best to keep face full of sorrows. But she had one bad habit. She might started laughing on that any situation. She went inside hospital. She went with Satish. She was shivering when she entered. She saw body on stretcher. She saw that it was horrible. There were lot of wounds which were still full of blood. She started to shiver. On that point Police asked her. " Did she call you?" She wanted to say yes. But her voice was not coming out. She tried hard to talk but she couldn't. She started screaming. But she couldn't even scream. She was so scared. She started running. Suddenly nurses and ward boys took hold of her. Then Doctor came running towards her. She felt slight pain of injection. Police turned to Satish " Do you know? Why did your sister called your wife?" " Purva?!! She never used to call her. In fact she never liked to talk with her. But we use to get calls from Radha." " Who is Radha?" Satish explained " She was my dead sister." " How could she call?" Then Satish explained every thing. Police " So complaint must be there." " Sir yes. Now will you please let me go to my wife." Nikita Bhabhi " I will tell you remaining things." Tina " I always felt something was wrong with her. She used to talk to me sometimes like Radha. Mom used to scream on her. Slowly she stopped due to Mom's fear." Satish started to scream on her " Why don't you tell us?" Tina was so angry. " Mom saw it so why did I suppose to tell it to you again. Why are you throwing your frustration on me? Go and see your sick wife. Purva managed to turn her mad too." Then suddenly one Doctor came. " She is not mad. She is just suffering from trauma which will be over after some time. But your sister Purva was suffering from mental problem. Still she is dead now so we can't do anything about it." Nikita Bhabhi " What was her problem? " " I can't tell you exactly but I feel that she might have developed multiple personality disorder. She tried to hide it since Radha and Purva both were timid personality. It was perfect until she didn't need to face fear of anything until your Mom died. Then suddenly Radha's personality wanted to go back to Mom while Purva wanted to stay here. With those sarees she felt special attachement and when Rucha wanted to sell them. She started throwing tantrum." Tina " But Purva was scared of curse. She never wanted sarees." " She was scared of Radha. She must had sensed her in soul. " Satish " But she never confess." "As I told you before those both girls were shy." Nikita Bhabhi's husband " But Radha was never shy." " But Purva was too little to remember that." Pratiksha " But how did you know all this?" " Because I am psychiatrist and I have just talked with Rucha." Satish started laughing while crying. " She could talk." " Of course. Go and meet her." Satish ran inside. Remaining brothers stayed with Purva's body while Police took statement. But ladies went inside to talk with Rucha. Police " Great Now I can free your brother-in-law." " But he was not nice man." " Then he might caught in next case but in this case your sister was mad so he had to get fair chance." Police went away. Slowly Rucha came out with Satish. When she saw Purva's body again. She started crying loudly. Satish wanted to stop her but Psychiatrist stopped him. " Let her cry." Slowly every one started crying. It seemed as if they were crying for both Radha as well as Purva. But soon they had to reduce their voice since Nurse came to warn them. So they all went out to cry.
The End
