Demand
Tushar was showing different place to client. It was not first house that he was showing. He showed many houses to them. But they sensed one thing all those houses were not right. Some were too costly and some were too small. Tushar was so irritated. He wanted to go and take rest in house. But it was not happening. He needed some money and for getting that money. He had to attend those clients. He had to keep smiling and showing them houses. It was clear that even those clients were getting irritated. In their view he was not showing suitable houses. But in his view they needed to create bigger budget if they wanted big house. So both sides were too tired. Finally client came to him. Client " My wife is too tired. She needed to cook food for us too. Today is my vacation but for her it was still working day. She had to cook on every day." Tushar gave smile. " I can understand sir. But it would be great if we finalize some house." That client looked clearly upset. " But none of those houses are suitable for us. They are asking too much money." " But this is rate of market. You can confirm it from any one." " But I don't get so much salary so how can I pay it?" " Then why don't you purchase that small house?" " That house? It is nothing but a waiting room of train. I want nice house and reasonable price." " Then we must move far from city Sir." Client looked upset. Then he went back to his family. They discussed it. Then Client came back to him. Client " May be we will move away from city? We surely manage to travel those kilometers since we can't afford that price." Tushar smiled again. " Great sir so where you like to see house?" " Not today. We will go there on next Sunday." Tushar nodded. He was tired too. He knew that now he had to find more houses. Then Client turned towards Balcony . Client " Can I go in gallery?" Client was so enthusiastic. Client went in Balcony again. Then he called Tushar in Balcony. Client " This railing didn't seem good." Tushar was not interested in it. After all his client was not buying that house so it was not his duty. Tushar " Well we are not buying it so let's not feel concern about it." Client " But some one might fall from here." Tushar went out. He knew that it was true. He decided that he might just call builder about it. Tushar called him. Builder " Ohh did your client want to buy it?" " No." " Then why are you so worried?" " Since some one might fall due to this." That builder started laughing. Builder " You are too much." Tushar just said " Bye" and disconnected call. Tushar " Builder didn't seem concern. But I will not show this house to other people." Client " Good decision. It might kill some one." Tushar nodded. Then he went out with client. He started to go home. But he kept looking at that Balcony. It seemed like obsession for him. He just wanted to convince builder to repair it. Then he went home. His wife was busy with kids. As soon as he entered, she started telling him amount which was needed as payment for school fees and other needs. Tushar " I know we need this money. I will take it out of bank." " Don't stress yourself. I will do that but I just want to tell you about removing that money." Tushar nodded. He knew that he had to earn more. Day by day demand of his family were increasing. He had many responsibilities towards them. His wife Yukta was nice lady. But it was hard for her to manage their life in his limited income. They had just two sons. They needed to do every thing in best way for them. Sometime he sensed that both kids were not happy with life. He managed to create a family but it was not enough for them. He just never managed to earn enough money. He needed to earn more but he couldn't since he had his limit. Then suddenly his father appeared " Tushar I need new spectacles when are you going to buy them? These are useless now." His Dad was telling truth. He managed to wear them for such long time that they were having countless scratches on them. He couldn't hope that his Dad could see with them. Tushar " I will buy soon." His Dad " Only if my factory was not closed at that time. I could have earn so much money. I could have bought nice house and you might have become Doctor. You want to become one? Don't you?" Tushar " Dad just forget it. It is past and it can't come back." His Dad " But I am responsible for this mess." " No you are not." Then his Mom came out. Mom " I want to go out for walk and I will give those clothes to client which I have managed to stitch." Tushar nodded. Tushar " I just want to relax now. So I am taking bath and Dad remember one thing. You are not responsible for this mess." Then Tushar went inside. He just wished to forget every thing now. He wanted to think that he was rich enough to manage all his responsibilities so he started taking bath in relaxed mood. He knew that with his hard work slowly his troubles would vanish. He started feeling positive bit by bit due to that thought. He smiled happily to himself.
Tushar was so peaceful when he came out of bathroom. He decided that tomorrow he would show another house to client. But he sensed not tomorrow next week. He had to go to office tomorrow. It was so depressing. He had to work on every day. It was getting worst day by day for him. He wanted to relax on some point. He wanted to spend some time with his family. His son was playing. He wanted to join him. He knew that if he went out. His son would insist it but he knew that he couldn't do that since he had to work in two places which would create need of double work. He had to search for flat and complete his project. He needed to sense those projects with proper financial needs. His company demanded budgeting from him so he needed to search everywhere for material which was cheap. He needed to search for everything good in quality as well as in reasonable rate. It was going to be hard for him. He was doing just one thing every day. It was searching for every thing which was in reasonable rate his entire time was just getting wasted in search of cheap thing. He wanted to do something creative but every one wanted just one thing cheap. He was so bored. He needed to search for cheap things since they would give him money. People wanted that from him. They had that demand from him. He needed to provide it if he wanted to earn money. It was strange that his life was just running around money. He was married but he hardly had any time to enjoy his family life. He needed to get break for sometime. But it was not happening in his life. He was just working whole time. Then suddenly his son came in room. He thought that his son was going to ask to play with him. He decided that he might take break. He was so happy. He just closed computer and asked his son " Satish what do you want?" " Dad I want new video game when you get money for it." Tushar was so shocked. His son was not asking for his time. He wanted money. He felt that he was nothing but machine to earn money. He felt so sad. He wanted to scream on Satish and tell him to get lost. But he knew that it was not going to work. Satish would just start crying. Yukta would come and tell him that Satish was just little boy. But Tushar was upset. He knew that his son was little boy but he needed affection from him not just demands. It was totally wrong. He wanted love from his family but they just kept demanding one thing from another thing. He wanted to spend few moments with family just because they loved him not because they wanted something. But he knew that they needed money. Tushar turned back to computer. Tushar " You have enough video game now so no more games for you." " But Dad They are old one. I need new game now. This is getting worst step by step. My all friends are getting games. They started to harassing me. It is worst on every point. This is disturbing my reputation among friends. " Tushar was so upset. He looked at his son. He was small still he was claiming big things like harassment and reputation. He felt that Satish was talking too much. Tushar " Money is not something easy to earn. You need to work so hard to earn it. I needed to earn money. I needed to work hard to get it." Satish nodded. " Fine I will wait. I will come next month." He just went out of his room. Tushar was so upset by every thought. He wanted to relax. But no one was interested in him. They all just wanted money. He started searching for things on computer step by step. He began to search different types of materials which were suitable for his products. He had to work hard to find them. Some were too high in price and some were too cheap in quality. There were many options in list. There were many products which had suitable prices which were so nice but he had chose proper on out of them. He needed to search different products then he gathered all collection regarding prices and companies from internet. He needed to find different type of products to be recorded properly. He needed to find those products which would show different temptation. Every day he did it with spirit. But today he felt soul less. He felt as if he was not interested in it. He was no longer interested in counting money. He just wanted to get peace. He began to remember those painting he had created in his childhood. They were his passion. He wanted to continue painting. He wanted to keep doing it but his parents advised him against it. Since those painting didn't give much money to him, he started to sense that his family needed money so he quit it. He started doing many courses. He started talking sweetly with people to earn money. He began to learn different chapter in life. He began to sense that he needed to talk sweetly even with those people who abused him. He was treated in worst way like dirt by many people. When people sensed that he was needy, they started to treat him in wrong way. He began to feel so much hurt. He started feeling so sad. He slowly began to feel hurt in soul. He sensed that need of money managed to destroy his childhood totally. He started to sense different feeling from mind. He felt that need of money never let his live at all. He started feeling so much pain in heart. He wanted to cry but he didn't dare after all he needed to take responsibilities but for first time from soul he sensed one thing. He never managed to live his life. He wanted to live it again. He sensed one thing that he started to regret every day he wasted for his family. It was strange on one point. He loved his family. But still he hated his wasted life. He was feeling hurt on every point. He just didn't understand his feeling. But then he didn't have time to waste on them so he started doing his work again.
Yukta sensed from heart that something was wrong in Tushar's attitude. Tushar used to work hard on every day. But he never used to feel upset. He was hope for her. He always used to joke in worst sorrows. But she senses change in Tushar's attitude since Sandip started demanding. Satish had made some rich friends in school and now he kept trying to follow them and beginning Yukta felt those demands were just childishness. But now she sensed that they were creating worst impact on Tushar. Tushar was getting angry every day without any cause. He was not interested in hearing her any problem. Yesterday she was just talking about increase in prices around world. But he was not interested talking about it. He was so angry. She had many problems. She wanted to discuss with him. She wanted that discussion to be friendly. She began to sense he was so angry at every path. He started to sense different meaning of every step. He had to create different feeling out of every word she said. Something was wrong. He was no longer like his old self. He began to complain about every word. He kept getting hurt on her every statement. She just didn't understand what she supposed to do. She knew that Satish was once again after money. She decided that she must talk with Tushar now. Yukta entered in room. Yukta " Sstish is getting too much demanding." Tushar " I know but just show me one person who don't demand from me. Do you want something?" " No..I just came to say. I am sorry that Satish started to act this way." " It was not just your responsibility to teach him manners. There are many people in home. Did you notice my parents always kept telling need of money but they never tell it to their grandson? It is so wrong. I just have to sacrifice every thing to earn money. I even had to sacrifice my self respect and my son want to waste it on some stupid video game on each month. I am ready to spend money on book even a bicycle was nice. It could have given at least exercise but this video game. This is useless. I don't want waste money on them." Yukta " I will try to talk to him." Tushar " Great. And I am going out for few days." " Out?" " Yes. On vacation." Yukta " But we can't go. Kids need to go to school." Tushar screamed on her. " Not we!! I am going on vacation." Yukta was so shocked. Yukta " But Ritu was waiting for vacation for such long time. If we take it in summer then it will be best for all." " Then I have to take every one with me. I need to book tickets. Now I am planning to just take lift in some car. Are you ready to take that risk?" Yukta nodded her head in negative way. Yukta " But it is not wise. It can manage to create problems.." " Stop lecturing. I am calling office and going out today. Bye." Then Tushar switched off computer. He called office. Boss looked upset but when he said that he didn't took vacation for many years and if he didn't get one then he might leave job. Boss agreed. But then Boss got better idea. Boss told him to take official trip instead of vacation. Boss told him to go out with material truck. He just had to confirmed. It delivered fine. He agreed so he smiled. Then he took out his old canvas. But they were too dirty so he decided that he must find new one. He decided that he must go in market and buy new one. Tushar " I need some canvas. I am going in market then I will go on trip." Yukta nodded. Then he ran to market. He suddenly began to feel that he was free like some bird. He felt so lucky to get rid of family. He took canvas and colors and started packing. Satish started to look upset. Satish " I wanted that video game." Tushar " And I wanted vacation. Until now you got every thing son but now your father is going to get what he want. I never want to see your face again." Satish was so confused. He just didn't understand meaning but he sensed one thing. He was abuse to him. Satish gave him angry look and said " I hate you." Tushar smiled and said " Not as much as I hate you. Bye." He took his bag and went away. His father was screaming behind him but he just didn't care. Then he went to that place where his Boss ordered. He sat in truck near driver. He gave nice smile to driver and asked about destination. That driver told him. He was happy. It was unknown place to him. It could have lot of mountains. He just needed them. Tushar kept looking out of window. That Truck driver started playing music. Tushar started to get irritated by those sounds. But he knew to tolerate it. He started to sense that he wanted to get away from it. But then he suddenly sensed that he might start to enjoy now. Tushar smiled toward driver. Tushar " Why don't we dance on music sometime?" Driver looked shocked. Driver " Sir nice joke. But I know you will not dance." " No I will. Just stop truck." Then Driver stopped it. He jumped from Truck and told driver to play music in loud way. Then Tushar started dancing with thoughts. It was really wonderful. Then after some time even Driver joined them. There was not much traffic on that road. Even few youngsters joined their dancing. Tushar began to loose his sense. He just began to feel like bird. He wanted to keep dancing. He wanted to be free.
Tushar came to senses when Driver stopped music. Driver " Sir it is afternoon. We must move ahead. We need to take lunch too." When music stopped ,Tushar sensed that he was too tired. He just sat under tree. He started to sense he might faint. " I have dance too much." Driver " No doubt about it. You were dancing at least for two to three hours." Tushar felt that he was too tired. He needed to walk so he forced himself on legs and went near truck. Finally he sat in it. Driver " Sir did you took something?" " No..why are you asking this?" " You are dancing in strange way. Slowly strange sort of coward started to join in that dancing. I felt so scared that Police might catch us." " Police? Why? I was not even drunk." " But you were dancing in strange way." Tushar started laughing. " I just want to enjoy my vacation. Any way where are we going to eat today?" " On some simple hotel or Dhaba." " This is going to be greatest day for me." Tushar started laughing. He felt as if he could kept laughing then he pointed at Dhaba " Stop here. I want to eat here." Driver nodded. Then Tushar asked about items in that Dhaba. He ordered every thing which was suitable for celebration. Then he kept eating. After some time when he finished lunch suddenly he stood and told Driver that they must hurry since it was already too late. Driver nodded. Then they went ahead. Suddenly Driver sensed Tushar was tense. Driver " What happened sir?" " Nothing. We just need to drop these things soon." Driver nodded. Then they reached to their destination. When Driver started giving delivery, Tushar said that he would go back now. Driver was confused. Tushar just vanished before Driver could say something to him. It was worst thing for Driver. Driver kept searching for Tushar for few moments then he went ahead with his work. When he did all, he went back to Truck. He called Boss. He told everything to him. Boss sounded confused. Boss " He went away. What did you mean by he went away? And he was dancing? Are you drunk?" " No I am not. But he seemed like person who took something but it was not drink since I don't smell it." " This is strange. I never saw him taking drugs." " Those drug addicts are smart enough to hide it." " Stop this nonsense. We do regular check up for insurance of our employee which is part of company policy. Doctor must had detected drugs." " Then he might had just started today!!" " Did it sound logical to you? I think I might call his family. He might be sick." " Not just sick. Totally mad. Only mad people dance like that eat like that. I was so scared around him. He was acting like lunatic. If Police had caught us, we would have landed in jail all because of him. I don't want any senior with me any more." " Really? Last time few products were missing. Do you want me to complaint to Police? It is possible that they just suspect you for giving some thing to him in food." " I have not done any thing like that. That man was mad. Any way he had just vanish. It was not my responsibility. " " But he is not answering my call. If he didn't turn up, his family might do Police complaint. In fact I need to do Police complaint and you are part of it." " My god!! Why did I ever took your job? This job is full of dirt." " Dirt? A man was dancing before you like mad person and you don't even feel need to call your Boss? Don't you sense any thing wrong in your act." That Driver started to feel confuse. Driver " I try to search for him." Boss " Now that is good idea do it?" Driver sat in truck. He started searching around. But he didn't find Tushar. It was really strange. He didn't understand what was wrong with that man. Driver saw him happy on top of the world. He was dancing with such a happiness and then he ate his lunch with taste. Tushar seemed like a man who wanted to enjoy life. Driver thought that he must search for bars and hotels. He started searching in each possible location. No one saw any one matching his description. But they all knew about his dancing stunt. He had become famous in that area due to his strange dancing. Finally Driver gave up. He began to feel scared. He thought that he might just do Police complaint before Tushar's Boss. He wanted to tell his story to Police first. He went in Police station and told them every thing. Police listened to him. Police " I heard about that mad man who was dancing near highway he was your friend." " No sir. He was not friend. I mean he is not friend. Just some one send by client who told me to drop material." " So do you feel he was on drug?" " I can't say any thing surely. It was not alcohol. Since he didn't had any smell." Police " Then it might be drug. Do you have his picture?" " No sir." Then suddenly another officer screamed " We have it on face book some idiot posted it on face book." Police smiled and said " Don't call that person idiot. It will help me now." Then he went to that page and took out picture. He could clearly sense that something was wrong with that person. Any way he send his photo to all Police station. He wanted him in jail before he could do some crime. Since in eyes of Officer Tushar was totally unsound person who was too risky for society. Then finally he asked about Tushar's family. Driver didn't know much. But Officer found it all on record of computer. He took out those number and called them. Yukta was busy with kids when she received that call.
Satish was getting ready when that phone rang. Yukta " Satish took that phone. It must be your Dad." " I don't want to talk with Dad." " Satish stop irritating me. Don't act like naughty kid. Pick up that phone." Satish nodded. He wanted that game so he nodded. He was shocked when he understood it was from Police. Yukta ran to phone. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law came out. Police explained all to her. Yukta " My husband never took drugs. But he was upset now a days. Actually I will not lie to you. But he didn't seem normal now a days. I feel he was having problem." Police " Problem? Of what kind?" Then her father-in-law took call. Her father-in-law " Actually our family had mental problem." Police " Can you come here?" " Sure." Yukta's father-in-law took address. Father-in-law " I will go there." Yukta " I will come with you." Mother-in-law " I will take care of kids." They immediately started packing. They called Boss and requested him for one car. Boss agreed to give it. It was worst trip for them. They came in Police station with bags only. Yukta " I am wife of Tushar." Police looked confused. Then her father-in-law explained case. He pointed to other cop. It took them some time to reach proper cop. When they went there, Police was sitting there with Driver. Police " What is wrong with him?" Father-in-law " Actually my grandfather suffered from schizophrenia but it didn't come to any one for two generation. We all assume it is just bad luck. But due to it we lost all our wealth. After that my father tried to work hard to manage family. But it just didn't work. Then it all came to me. I repaid all loans but my saving were zero so I kept telling my son to give importance to earning. But he kept working properly until now. Suddenly now a days he started acting strange." Then suddenly one constable came running. Constable " That fellow you were searching found on corner of river. He was trying to jump when a person saw him. Then they took him out of water. He is in hospital now." Yukta started crying slowly. It was worst for them. Then Police told them address. They ran to that hospital with bags. When they reached to hospital in Police van, it seemed so worst for them. Constable did all talking and finally they were take to Tushar's room. Then a Doctor came to them. Doctor " I am psychiatrist. Tell me every thing." Yukta told him all. Father-in-law " So he is suffering from schizophrenia too." " Now don't jump from conclusion like that. I don't think that he is having that serious disease. Did he ever hallucinated?" " No. He just got too much angry." " In schizophrenia patients hallucinate. I feel he is suffering from depression. Did he had swing of moods?" " No. Not much. He just appeared upset all time." " So it might be just normal depression." " But he tried to kill himself." " People do it in normal depression too. If they didn't receive counseling. Did you pressure him regarding any thing?" Yukta " Actually he was pressured regarding every thing. From start to end and it was not mistake of my father-in-law. We are not rich people and by mistake our son made rich friends and then it all started. But I never thought that it would move such way." " It can turn in any way in life. But try to understand one thing that it is not big mental problem. It is just depression without treatment it can kill you. But when you give treatment then it will vanish in few moments." Yukta smiled happily. Yukta " So he will be perfect once again." Psychiatrist " Well. You need to cooperate some time for this. He is sleeping now. When he will woke, I will talk with him. Then I can explain situation." Her father-in-law " But what is your fee?" " I will try to make concession to you. But still you need to pay basic fees." Yukta nodded. She sensed one thing. It was wise that she should start working on computer from home. She wanted her husband to be fine. Yukta " I will manage those fees and he had insurance too." Yukta smiled since she remember insurance policy from his office. Psychiatrist smiled " Then don't worry." Yukta " When he will wake up." " I repeat myself. Don't panic. Don't worry. He will be fine." Yukta nodded. She went near Tushar. Yukta wanted to cry but she controlled her tears. Tushar needed her now. She had to act strong. She needed to handle two fronts now. One was for Tushar and another was for Satish. It all started from Satish. She needed to control him too. Since she knew that Tushar couldn't do that. Then Tushar suddenly woke up. She gave him smile. But Tushar started to cry and say " I just want to die." Psychiatrist came and injected him. Yukta started crying. Psychiatrist " Come on. Give me some time. He will be fine." Yukta nodded. She knew that this was not going to be easy but she had decided that she was going to do it. She smiled once again with determination.
The End
Tushar was showing different place to client. It was not first house that he was showing. He showed many houses to them. But they sensed one thing all those houses were not right. Some were too costly and some were too small. Tushar was so irritated. He wanted to go and take rest in house. But it was not happening. He needed some money and for getting that money. He had to attend those clients. He had to keep smiling and showing them houses. It was clear that even those clients were getting irritated. In their view he was not showing suitable houses. But in his view they needed to create bigger budget if they wanted big house. So both sides were too tired. Finally client came to him. Client " My wife is too tired. She needed to cook food for us too. Today is my vacation but for her it was still working day. She had to cook on every day." Tushar gave smile. " I can understand sir. But it would be great if we finalize some house." That client looked clearly upset. " But none of those houses are suitable for us. They are asking too much money." " But this is rate of market. You can confirm it from any one." " But I don't get so much salary so how can I pay it?" " Then why don't you purchase that small house?" " That house? It is nothing but a waiting room of train. I want nice house and reasonable price." " Then we must move far from city Sir." Client looked upset. Then he went back to his family. They discussed it. Then Client came back to him. Client " May be we will move away from city? We surely manage to travel those kilometers since we can't afford that price." Tushar smiled again. " Great sir so where you like to see house?" " Not today. We will go there on next Sunday." Tushar nodded. He was tired too. He knew that now he had to find more houses. Then Client turned towards Balcony . Client " Can I go in gallery?" Client was so enthusiastic. Client went in Balcony again. Then he called Tushar in Balcony. Client " This railing didn't seem good." Tushar was not interested in it. After all his client was not buying that house so it was not his duty. Tushar " Well we are not buying it so let's not feel concern about it." Client " But some one might fall from here." Tushar went out. He knew that it was true. He decided that he might just call builder about it. Tushar called him. Builder " Ohh did your client want to buy it?" " No." " Then why are you so worried?" " Since some one might fall due to this." That builder started laughing. Builder " You are too much." Tushar just said " Bye" and disconnected call. Tushar " Builder didn't seem concern. But I will not show this house to other people." Client " Good decision. It might kill some one." Tushar nodded. Then he went out with client. He started to go home. But he kept looking at that Balcony. It seemed like obsession for him. He just wanted to convince builder to repair it. Then he went home. His wife was busy with kids. As soon as he entered, she started telling him amount which was needed as payment for school fees and other needs. Tushar " I know we need this money. I will take it out of bank." " Don't stress yourself. I will do that but I just want to tell you about removing that money." Tushar nodded. He knew that he had to earn more. Day by day demand of his family were increasing. He had many responsibilities towards them. His wife Yukta was nice lady. But it was hard for her to manage their life in his limited income. They had just two sons. They needed to do every thing in best way for them. Sometime he sensed that both kids were not happy with life. He managed to create a family but it was not enough for them. He just never managed to earn enough money. He needed to earn more but he couldn't since he had his limit. Then suddenly his father appeared " Tushar I need new spectacles when are you going to buy them? These are useless now." His Dad was telling truth. He managed to wear them for such long time that they were having countless scratches on them. He couldn't hope that his Dad could see with them. Tushar " I will buy soon." His Dad " Only if my factory was not closed at that time. I could have earn so much money. I could have bought nice house and you might have become Doctor. You want to become one? Don't you?" Tushar " Dad just forget it. It is past and it can't come back." His Dad " But I am responsible for this mess." " No you are not." Then his Mom came out. Mom " I want to go out for walk and I will give those clothes to client which I have managed to stitch." Tushar nodded. Tushar " I just want to relax now. So I am taking bath and Dad remember one thing. You are not responsible for this mess." Then Tushar went inside. He just wished to forget every thing now. He wanted to think that he was rich enough to manage all his responsibilities so he started taking bath in relaxed mood. He knew that with his hard work slowly his troubles would vanish. He started feeling positive bit by bit due to that thought. He smiled happily to himself.
Tushar was so peaceful when he came out of bathroom. He decided that tomorrow he would show another house to client. But he sensed not tomorrow next week. He had to go to office tomorrow. It was so depressing. He had to work on every day. It was getting worst day by day for him. He wanted to relax on some point. He wanted to spend some time with his family. His son was playing. He wanted to join him. He knew that if he went out. His son would insist it but he knew that he couldn't do that since he had to work in two places which would create need of double work. He had to search for flat and complete his project. He needed to sense those projects with proper financial needs. His company demanded budgeting from him so he needed to search everywhere for material which was cheap. He needed to search for everything good in quality as well as in reasonable rate. It was going to be hard for him. He was doing just one thing every day. It was searching for every thing which was in reasonable rate his entire time was just getting wasted in search of cheap thing. He wanted to do something creative but every one wanted just one thing cheap. He was so bored. He needed to search for cheap things since they would give him money. People wanted that from him. They had that demand from him. He needed to provide it if he wanted to earn money. It was strange that his life was just running around money. He was married but he hardly had any time to enjoy his family life. He needed to get break for sometime. But it was not happening in his life. He was just working whole time. Then suddenly his son came in room. He thought that his son was going to ask to play with him. He decided that he might take break. He was so happy. He just closed computer and asked his son " Satish what do you want?" " Dad I want new video game when you get money for it." Tushar was so shocked. His son was not asking for his time. He wanted money. He felt that he was nothing but machine to earn money. He felt so sad. He wanted to scream on Satish and tell him to get lost. But he knew that it was not going to work. Satish would just start crying. Yukta would come and tell him that Satish was just little boy. But Tushar was upset. He knew that his son was little boy but he needed affection from him not just demands. It was totally wrong. He wanted love from his family but they just kept demanding one thing from another thing. He wanted to spend few moments with family just because they loved him not because they wanted something. But he knew that they needed money. Tushar turned back to computer. Tushar " You have enough video game now so no more games for you." " But Dad They are old one. I need new game now. This is getting worst step by step. My all friends are getting games. They started to harassing me. It is worst on every point. This is disturbing my reputation among friends. " Tushar was so upset. He looked at his son. He was small still he was claiming big things like harassment and reputation. He felt that Satish was talking too much. Tushar " Money is not something easy to earn. You need to work so hard to earn it. I needed to earn money. I needed to work hard to get it." Satish nodded. " Fine I will wait. I will come next month." He just went out of his room. Tushar was so upset by every thought. He wanted to relax. But no one was interested in him. They all just wanted money. He started searching for things on computer step by step. He began to search different types of materials which were suitable for his products. He had to work hard to find them. Some were too high in price and some were too cheap in quality. There were many options in list. There were many products which had suitable prices which were so nice but he had chose proper on out of them. He needed to search different products then he gathered all collection regarding prices and companies from internet. He needed to find different type of products to be recorded properly. He needed to find those products which would show different temptation. Every day he did it with spirit. But today he felt soul less. He felt as if he was not interested in it. He was no longer interested in counting money. He just wanted to get peace. He began to remember those painting he had created in his childhood. They were his passion. He wanted to continue painting. He wanted to keep doing it but his parents advised him against it. Since those painting didn't give much money to him, he started to sense that his family needed money so he quit it. He started doing many courses. He started talking sweetly with people to earn money. He began to learn different chapter in life. He began to sense that he needed to talk sweetly even with those people who abused him. He was treated in worst way like dirt by many people. When people sensed that he was needy, they started to treat him in wrong way. He began to feel so much hurt. He started feeling so sad. He slowly began to feel hurt in soul. He sensed that need of money managed to destroy his childhood totally. He started to sense different feeling from mind. He felt that need of money never let his live at all. He started feeling so much pain in heart. He wanted to cry but he didn't dare after all he needed to take responsibilities but for first time from soul he sensed one thing. He never managed to live his life. He wanted to live it again. He sensed one thing that he started to regret every day he wasted for his family. It was strange on one point. He loved his family. But still he hated his wasted life. He was feeling hurt on every point. He just didn't understand his feeling. But then he didn't have time to waste on them so he started doing his work again.
Yukta sensed from heart that something was wrong in Tushar's attitude. Tushar used to work hard on every day. But he never used to feel upset. He was hope for her. He always used to joke in worst sorrows. But she senses change in Tushar's attitude since Sandip started demanding. Satish had made some rich friends in school and now he kept trying to follow them and beginning Yukta felt those demands were just childishness. But now she sensed that they were creating worst impact on Tushar. Tushar was getting angry every day without any cause. He was not interested in hearing her any problem. Yesterday she was just talking about increase in prices around world. But he was not interested talking about it. He was so angry. She had many problems. She wanted to discuss with him. She wanted that discussion to be friendly. She began to sense he was so angry at every path. He started to sense different meaning of every step. He had to create different feeling out of every word she said. Something was wrong. He was no longer like his old self. He began to complain about every word. He kept getting hurt on her every statement. She just didn't understand what she supposed to do. She knew that Satish was once again after money. She decided that she must talk with Tushar now. Yukta entered in room. Yukta " Sstish is getting too much demanding." Tushar " I know but just show me one person who don't demand from me. Do you want something?" " No..I just came to say. I am sorry that Satish started to act this way." " It was not just your responsibility to teach him manners. There are many people in home. Did you notice my parents always kept telling need of money but they never tell it to their grandson? It is so wrong. I just have to sacrifice every thing to earn money. I even had to sacrifice my self respect and my son want to waste it on some stupid video game on each month. I am ready to spend money on book even a bicycle was nice. It could have given at least exercise but this video game. This is useless. I don't want waste money on them." Yukta " I will try to talk to him." Tushar " Great. And I am going out for few days." " Out?" " Yes. On vacation." Yukta " But we can't go. Kids need to go to school." Tushar screamed on her. " Not we!! I am going on vacation." Yukta was so shocked. Yukta " But Ritu was waiting for vacation for such long time. If we take it in summer then it will be best for all." " Then I have to take every one with me. I need to book tickets. Now I am planning to just take lift in some car. Are you ready to take that risk?" Yukta nodded her head in negative way. Yukta " But it is not wise. It can manage to create problems.." " Stop lecturing. I am calling office and going out today. Bye." Then Tushar switched off computer. He called office. Boss looked upset but when he said that he didn't took vacation for many years and if he didn't get one then he might leave job. Boss agreed. But then Boss got better idea. Boss told him to take official trip instead of vacation. Boss told him to go out with material truck. He just had to confirmed. It delivered fine. He agreed so he smiled. Then he took out his old canvas. But they were too dirty so he decided that he must find new one. He decided that he must go in market and buy new one. Tushar " I need some canvas. I am going in market then I will go on trip." Yukta nodded. Then he ran to market. He suddenly began to feel that he was free like some bird. He felt so lucky to get rid of family. He took canvas and colors and started packing. Satish started to look upset. Satish " I wanted that video game." Tushar " And I wanted vacation. Until now you got every thing son but now your father is going to get what he want. I never want to see your face again." Satish was so confused. He just didn't understand meaning but he sensed one thing. He was abuse to him. Satish gave him angry look and said " I hate you." Tushar smiled and said " Not as much as I hate you. Bye." He took his bag and went away. His father was screaming behind him but he just didn't care. Then he went to that place where his Boss ordered. He sat in truck near driver. He gave nice smile to driver and asked about destination. That driver told him. He was happy. It was unknown place to him. It could have lot of mountains. He just needed them. Tushar kept looking out of window. That Truck driver started playing music. Tushar started to get irritated by those sounds. But he knew to tolerate it. He started to sense that he wanted to get away from it. But then he suddenly sensed that he might start to enjoy now. Tushar smiled toward driver. Tushar " Why don't we dance on music sometime?" Driver looked shocked. Driver " Sir nice joke. But I know you will not dance." " No I will. Just stop truck." Then Driver stopped it. He jumped from Truck and told driver to play music in loud way. Then Tushar started dancing with thoughts. It was really wonderful. Then after some time even Driver joined them. There was not much traffic on that road. Even few youngsters joined their dancing. Tushar began to loose his sense. He just began to feel like bird. He wanted to keep dancing. He wanted to be free.
Tushar came to senses when Driver stopped music. Driver " Sir it is afternoon. We must move ahead. We need to take lunch too." When music stopped ,Tushar sensed that he was too tired. He just sat under tree. He started to sense he might faint. " I have dance too much." Driver " No doubt about it. You were dancing at least for two to three hours." Tushar felt that he was too tired. He needed to walk so he forced himself on legs and went near truck. Finally he sat in it. Driver " Sir did you took something?" " No..why are you asking this?" " You are dancing in strange way. Slowly strange sort of coward started to join in that dancing. I felt so scared that Police might catch us." " Police? Why? I was not even drunk." " But you were dancing in strange way." Tushar started laughing. " I just want to enjoy my vacation. Any way where are we going to eat today?" " On some simple hotel or Dhaba." " This is going to be greatest day for me." Tushar started laughing. He felt as if he could kept laughing then he pointed at Dhaba " Stop here. I want to eat here." Driver nodded. Then Tushar asked about items in that Dhaba. He ordered every thing which was suitable for celebration. Then he kept eating. After some time when he finished lunch suddenly he stood and told Driver that they must hurry since it was already too late. Driver nodded. Then they went ahead. Suddenly Driver sensed Tushar was tense. Driver " What happened sir?" " Nothing. We just need to drop these things soon." Driver nodded. Then they reached to their destination. When Driver started giving delivery, Tushar said that he would go back now. Driver was confused. Tushar just vanished before Driver could say something to him. It was worst thing for Driver. Driver kept searching for Tushar for few moments then he went ahead with his work. When he did all, he went back to Truck. He called Boss. He told everything to him. Boss sounded confused. Boss " He went away. What did you mean by he went away? And he was dancing? Are you drunk?" " No I am not. But he seemed like person who took something but it was not drink since I don't smell it." " This is strange. I never saw him taking drugs." " Those drug addicts are smart enough to hide it." " Stop this nonsense. We do regular check up for insurance of our employee which is part of company policy. Doctor must had detected drugs." " Then he might had just started today!!" " Did it sound logical to you? I think I might call his family. He might be sick." " Not just sick. Totally mad. Only mad people dance like that eat like that. I was so scared around him. He was acting like lunatic. If Police had caught us, we would have landed in jail all because of him. I don't want any senior with me any more." " Really? Last time few products were missing. Do you want me to complaint to Police? It is possible that they just suspect you for giving some thing to him in food." " I have not done any thing like that. That man was mad. Any way he had just vanish. It was not my responsibility. " " But he is not answering my call. If he didn't turn up, his family might do Police complaint. In fact I need to do Police complaint and you are part of it." " My god!! Why did I ever took your job? This job is full of dirt." " Dirt? A man was dancing before you like mad person and you don't even feel need to call your Boss? Don't you sense any thing wrong in your act." That Driver started to feel confuse. Driver " I try to search for him." Boss " Now that is good idea do it?" Driver sat in truck. He started searching around. But he didn't find Tushar. It was really strange. He didn't understand what was wrong with that man. Driver saw him happy on top of the world. He was dancing with such a happiness and then he ate his lunch with taste. Tushar seemed like a man who wanted to enjoy life. Driver thought that he must search for bars and hotels. He started searching in each possible location. No one saw any one matching his description. But they all knew about his dancing stunt. He had become famous in that area due to his strange dancing. Finally Driver gave up. He began to feel scared. He thought that he might just do Police complaint before Tushar's Boss. He wanted to tell his story to Police first. He went in Police station and told them every thing. Police listened to him. Police " I heard about that mad man who was dancing near highway he was your friend." " No sir. He was not friend. I mean he is not friend. Just some one send by client who told me to drop material." " So do you feel he was on drug?" " I can't say any thing surely. It was not alcohol. Since he didn't had any smell." Police " Then it might be drug. Do you have his picture?" " No sir." Then suddenly another officer screamed " We have it on face book some idiot posted it on face book." Police smiled and said " Don't call that person idiot. It will help me now." Then he went to that page and took out picture. He could clearly sense that something was wrong with that person. Any way he send his photo to all Police station. He wanted him in jail before he could do some crime. Since in eyes of Officer Tushar was totally unsound person who was too risky for society. Then finally he asked about Tushar's family. Driver didn't know much. But Officer found it all on record of computer. He took out those number and called them. Yukta was busy with kids when she received that call.
Satish was getting ready when that phone rang. Yukta " Satish took that phone. It must be your Dad." " I don't want to talk with Dad." " Satish stop irritating me. Don't act like naughty kid. Pick up that phone." Satish nodded. He wanted that game so he nodded. He was shocked when he understood it was from Police. Yukta ran to phone. Her mother-in-law and father-in-law came out. Police explained all to her. Yukta " My husband never took drugs. But he was upset now a days. Actually I will not lie to you. But he didn't seem normal now a days. I feel he was having problem." Police " Problem? Of what kind?" Then her father-in-law took call. Her father-in-law " Actually our family had mental problem." Police " Can you come here?" " Sure." Yukta's father-in-law took address. Father-in-law " I will go there." Yukta " I will come with you." Mother-in-law " I will take care of kids." They immediately started packing. They called Boss and requested him for one car. Boss agreed to give it. It was worst trip for them. They came in Police station with bags only. Yukta " I am wife of Tushar." Police looked confused. Then her father-in-law explained case. He pointed to other cop. It took them some time to reach proper cop. When they went there, Police was sitting there with Driver. Police " What is wrong with him?" Father-in-law " Actually my grandfather suffered from schizophrenia but it didn't come to any one for two generation. We all assume it is just bad luck. But due to it we lost all our wealth. After that my father tried to work hard to manage family. But it just didn't work. Then it all came to me. I repaid all loans but my saving were zero so I kept telling my son to give importance to earning. But he kept working properly until now. Suddenly now a days he started acting strange." Then suddenly one constable came running. Constable " That fellow you were searching found on corner of river. He was trying to jump when a person saw him. Then they took him out of water. He is in hospital now." Yukta started crying slowly. It was worst for them. Then Police told them address. They ran to that hospital with bags. When they reached to hospital in Police van, it seemed so worst for them. Constable did all talking and finally they were take to Tushar's room. Then a Doctor came to them. Doctor " I am psychiatrist. Tell me every thing." Yukta told him all. Father-in-law " So he is suffering from schizophrenia too." " Now don't jump from conclusion like that. I don't think that he is having that serious disease. Did he ever hallucinated?" " No. He just got too much angry." " In schizophrenia patients hallucinate. I feel he is suffering from depression. Did he had swing of moods?" " No. Not much. He just appeared upset all time." " So it might be just normal depression." " But he tried to kill himself." " People do it in normal depression too. If they didn't receive counseling. Did you pressure him regarding any thing?" Yukta " Actually he was pressured regarding every thing. From start to end and it was not mistake of my father-in-law. We are not rich people and by mistake our son made rich friends and then it all started. But I never thought that it would move such way." " It can turn in any way in life. But try to understand one thing that it is not big mental problem. It is just depression without treatment it can kill you. But when you give treatment then it will vanish in few moments." Yukta smiled happily. Yukta " So he will be perfect once again." Psychiatrist " Well. You need to cooperate some time for this. He is sleeping now. When he will woke, I will talk with him. Then I can explain situation." Her father-in-law " But what is your fee?" " I will try to make concession to you. But still you need to pay basic fees." Yukta nodded. She sensed one thing. It was wise that she should start working on computer from home. She wanted her husband to be fine. Yukta " I will manage those fees and he had insurance too." Yukta smiled since she remember insurance policy from his office. Psychiatrist smiled " Then don't worry." Yukta " When he will wake up." " I repeat myself. Don't panic. Don't worry. He will be fine." Yukta nodded. She went near Tushar. Yukta wanted to cry but she controlled her tears. Tushar needed her now. She had to act strong. She needed to handle two fronts now. One was for Tushar and another was for Satish. It all started from Satish. She needed to control him too. Since she knew that Tushar couldn't do that. Then Tushar suddenly woke up. She gave him smile. But Tushar started to cry and say " I just want to die." Psychiatrist came and injected him. Yukta started crying. Psychiatrist " Come on. Give me some time. He will be fine." Yukta nodded. She knew that this was not going to be easy but she had decided that she was going to do it. She smiled once again with determination.
The End
