Plans for good life
Ritu was searching different items to cook her food. She wanted to cook every thing in perfect way. She needed to sense different style of cook. She wanted it all to be perfect. Today her husband's Boss was coming for lunch. She wanted to cook in kitchen in good way. She started to arranging her vegetables in proper way. She needed to do it in best way. Normally Ritu had always suggested to Raj to call his Boss in hotel. This way every thing would work in perfect way. But this time it all happened suddenly. They had decided one hotel but suddenly his Boss needed to change day of lunch. When they asked that hotel about that day, it turned out that it was booked on that day. Raj started to suggesting different hotels. But Ritu started to feel scared. She didn't want to take his Boss in wrong way. Then his Boss insisted that he wanted a simple lunch since he had too many of those spicy lunches. Then Raj decided that he must invite him at home. There was not suitable hotel with simple lunch near his house or Boss's house. He had his budget too so he couldn't afford to take Boss to that hotel which might turn out suitable for him. He decided that he might just cook every thing in his home. He started to plan it in home. He told Ritu about it. Ritu was working women so she knew that she had to explain it to her cook. Then she felt that her cook was not so good to do it. She felt that it would be better if she did it by herself. She started to gather information about it. It was worst thing for her. She had to do her work and entertain Boss of her husband. She just wished only if Raj took his Boss somewhere else. She started inquiring about different dishes. Then she went in kitchen. She bought all items in home. She kept record of them. She kept feeling upset about it. She kept forgetting many things. It happened to her when she started to feel nervous about it. She began to sense that her work might turn in worst way. She needed to cook with positive spirit. But she kept feeling nervous. She began to sense that she must had to cook. She knew that it was her duty. She took out that book which had receipes. She just wanted to call hotel and order. But she knew that Raj would sense it. Raj was not that much cooperative when she started to use those shortcuts. He would get angry if she did it in totally wrong way. But she didn't understand why did he needed to save so much money. She knew that his Boss could surely understand if he decided to take him outside. She was not so expert in cooking and whenever guest came she always managed to make mistake. But then she decided that she must keep her mind steady now. She must do it properly. She took out all vegetables and kept them before her when suddenly Raj entered " What are you doing? Don't put Brinjal in any thing? My Boss hate them." " You are telling it to me so late. I can't do this vegetable without Brinjal." " Then change recipe." " My god cooking is not game. Do you have some sense? I have worked so hard to get that recipe. I can't change it now." Raj started to look nervous. He needed to move ahead with confidence before job. But he never had those guts. She just wished that only if he showed few more guts before world. But she knew that he would just kept screaming on her. Raj did the same thing. Finally she decided that she could adjust. She could look food without Brinjal. Then she got an idea. " Which type of Brinjal you don't want?" " Type of Brinjal?" " Yes. Brinjal have many types. I think your Boss must hate big Brinjal." Raj looked confused and nodded. Then he vanished out of kitchen. She started laughing. She loved when she managed to turn Raj on her fingers. She was so happy by it. She just wished only if Raj was little more smart. But then she felt that it was great since she could act per her wishes this way. She smiled happily and started cooking vegetable with Brinjal. She knew that his Boss would not complaint about food. Boss would just admired. Bosses didn't criticize food normally serve to them. Specially when she would use her special charm to impress him, he knew that after her sweet smile she would win that game. She knew that her cooking would be admired if she handled situation properly. She smiled happily. She started to feeling confident again. She looked food in best way. She even called Raj to taste it and she received even admiration from him. She smiled happily. She knew that she was going to win this show. But then she had to cook and after cooking she needed to get ready. She needed to wear simple cloth but with style. She had to impress Raj's Boss. She needed to present herself before him as hard working wife who had to take all responsibilities due to absence of Raj. This way she could tell Boss that Raj deserved promotion and increments. She always managed to get things in her way when she decided so she started cooking in best way. She knew that she must dress now. She started to get dressed. Then she never selected a dress for Raj and told him to get dressed. He did as she said. She was so happy. She liked things when Raj moved as per her choice and today was that lucky day.
Ritu dressed in perfect way. She started to arrange things perfectly for Boss. When Boss entered in house with Raj, she whole time kept telling him how hard she worked to make food right. She kept insisting that Raj was so busy in office. Soon she began to see guilt on his Boss's face. She began to smile happily. Then she started to talk about different things. His Boss started to catch her every word sweetly. She felt so happy. She knew guilt conscious work every time. She started to feel happiness from soul. She knew that when they would reach to end of this meeting. His Boss had already made up his mind to give him promotion. She knew how did turn things in that way. She knew that she was so talented in this. She started judging things in different way. She began to plan now how did she could achieve gift from Raj for her hard work. After all she worked so hard to get those things in proper way. She needed some gift. By end of meeting Boss was so impressed with her that he even admired her vegetable of Brinjal. She knew that she was great but still she just never managed to get things properly in life. She never wanted husband like Raj. She wanted someone strong and powerful. But she didn't have time and Raj was so wealthy from side of family. When her parents brought that proposal before her of Raj, she was not interested in it. Actually she was after other boy from college. She hoped that Chirag would get good job since he was topper of class. Everything was planned. She knew that Chirag was under her thumb. But on that point her luck turned in worst way. A rich girl started taking interest in Chirag. Soon Chirag forgot her and went after that rich girl so she decided that she must plan properly too. She decided that she needed to change her boy friend. Inside her college she didn't find any suitable replacement since most of boys knew that she was after Chirag so none of them was interested in her. This way Chirag managed to destroy her chances of finding proper match in college. She just wanted to find someone who would become profitable for her plan. She needed to find someone who had plans. She started searching for such a boy. She began to analyse every one step by step. She took in consideration their properties and their qualification. She knew that in her college no one would take interest in her so she started on internet. It was nice process. She could find many boys there. She knew that it was age of studying but still she also kept tag on boys who could become her husband. She kept checking what education would give better payment. She started to search different proposal but no one seemed as perfect as Chirag. He was perfect but she was not rich enough for him. Then one day finally found Raj. He was rich enough. But he was not smart. She didn't felt that attraction towards him at beginning but then step by step she started to like his concern. She began to sense that she could handle him on her fingers so she decided that Raj was best husband. She married to him. Now she was planning her life just according to her wishes. She was sitting on table. She was doing every thing just as she wished. She had little problem regarding cooking but it was solved with her other skill. Raj tried to dominate her many times but she just managed to manipulate him. Finally that party was over. Raj went away with his Boss. She took breathe of relief. Then her door bell rang. It was her maid. She specially called maid to clean this. She was not going to clean this mess. She cooked that was enough stunt for her. She gave instruction and went in her room. She took a nice shower and then she went back to her work. It was perfect house for her. She wanted peace now. She started doing her office work from home. She started sending files to Boss who wrote in her email that she was happy. She smiled. She liked to have boss as lady. She didn't want to handle male Boss. It might complicate matter for her. Her Boss Trupti was her good friend. They planned everything together. Any one could easily say they were partners in crime. She started laughing at that thought when Raj entered in room. Raj " What is so funny?" She controlled herself. She didn't want Raj to think that she was not exhausted. Ritu " I was telling my Boss about today's work. She asked me that did she pay so less salary that I didn't manage to get food from hotel?" Raj looked upset. Raj " Come on Honey. You can cook for my boss sometimes." " No I can't so I tried to work this out in such a way that you get that promotion." " I am going to get it. Don't you worry." " But you are not pushy enough." " But you have pushed for me." " I know. But I just keep my fingers crossed." Raj " This is happening just because of you. You are my lucky charm." Ritu smiled. She knew that this was happening due to Raj's work. Her one time cooking couldn't do this miracle but she convinced Raj in that way. She was so happy that he took that bait. Now she could get credit for his promotion too. She began to smile on her smartness. " Fine. Now I need to do my work. Is it okay if I keep light on?" " Of course. You know me. I have my eye cover so you can keep light as long as you want." " But I don't understand why did you have to sleep in afternoon?" " Since I want rest. Please let me sleep." Ritu smiled. She wanted that thing but still she pretended as if she didn't like to give Raj feel that she was giving him something. She always worked this way. She loved this style. So Raj slept and she started chatting with Trupti regarding how could they manage to get more customer for their factory.
When Ritu confirmed that Raj was sleeping, she started chatting with Trupti about her stunts. Trupti " My god you are lucky Raj didn't sense it. I mean my husband sense it in seconds." " That is charm of my style. I just turn all fingers to him. But I don't like what happened today. I have to cook!! Do you feel I am losing my charm?" " Come on. You have to do little bit things like that you can't just expect him to be totally fool." " Ohh." After saying this Ritu started laughing. Ritu " Any way I am concerned about his promotion what do you feel? Did he get it this time?" Trupti " According to my information he might get. I mean he is senior now and other candidates are not that strong." " So I did wise move by pulling out that cooking stunt." Trupti " Surely you get credit now. I just don't understand how did you do it? I mean I just kept working day after day for my husband and he never appreciate me." " It is skill. I just always planned every thing." Trupti " I wish only if I was smart like you. I could have done things properly." " Come on every one can't be like me." Then Ritu started laughing. She loved her brain just due to it she had managed to do all. She was moving every thing according to plan. Then she suddenly sensed that Raj was looking at her with angry eyes. She started shivering. She was tense. She felt that he heard all. But then he just said to her " Stop talking so loudly." She nodded. But she was so scared. It was scary. She couldn't imagine what would happen if he heard her. She knew that it would spoil her every plan. But he just kept looking at her in sleepy eyes. It was clear that he might had heard but it didn't make any sense to him. She smiled " Sorry honey. I will talk in slow voice now." Then he went back to sleep. Trupti started asking in scared voice. " What happened did he heard it?" " No..no but we can't take risk now. Let's talk about business now." Then they started talking about planning and plotting regarding business so that matter was forgotten there. Ritu decided that she must not take risk. She must show extra sweetness to Raj. But then she felt that it might make him more suspicious so she decided that she just keep her eyes open. From next morning every thing started in normal way. Raj didn't seem to be interested in asking about last night's conversation. Ritu was so happy. But then by afternoon she started feeling sick. She was so upset. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. Raj was gone to office so she had to go to Doctor alone. Doctor checked her and gave her medicine regarding acidity. Ritu " But Doctor I never had this problem before." " I know but sometimes it started to due to some change in diet. I can give you medicines about it." Ritu " Doctor are you sure that it is not morning sickness?" Doctor started laughing slowly. Doctor " I don't feel so." Ritu smiled. " I am so glad. I just don't want more kids." Doctor " But you have just one son who is even in hostel." " Yes but he is already enough trouble for me." " Why?" " He kept calling me again and again regarding some complaint about hostel. It was already decided that he was coming back home next year by Raj. I wanted my son to disciplined but Raj is just spoiling him." Doctor " But I don't feel that way. I feel you need to give your son more affection. Kids need parents guidance. " " Really? But what sort of guidance he would get in empty house under babysitter. I mean. I am going on work and Raj is also going to office so Tushar would stay alone whole day." " But you will return home to night and that was enough for your son." " I accept it if you suggest this way Doctor." " Come on. Don't you miss your son?" " Me? I don't miss him at all. He just kept complaining whole time about my attitude. He kept telling how wrong I am. I don't like it." " He is just kid." " Kid? He is in sixth standard now. He is enough grown up to understand that he must respect parents but he had allergy in giving it to them." " Some kids act like that in that age." " So do you feel that he is cause of acidity?" Doctor started laughing then said " Easily possible. You are tense about him that might be cause of acidity." " This son always manage to give me tension." Then she said bye to Doctor and took medicines from receptionist. She just hated it when Tushar came home. Tushar was small in size but he was intelligent. He could easily dominate mind. When he was staying with them, he started spoiling her plans as soon as he came wise enough to sense meaning of planning. She tried every thing to force him on her side. But he never wanted to be like her. He wanted to be like Raj. He kept giving clues to Raj regarding her plans so she always had to cancel them. He was coming back in her life. She was so scared. She knew that she had done many plans which were still in process. When suddenly her phone rang, it was from Raj. Raj " Honey Boss gave me promotion just because of you." Then he kept admiring her. Ritu was pleased her plan worked. But she was not that happy today. She kept feeling one thing that some trouble was going to start. She knew that her planning was going to come back on her in worst way. She kept answering Raj without thoughts. During that process she even agreed to go for dinner. She knew that it was not right in this health. But she said yes. She had to go. She decided that she must built stronghold on Raj before Tushar enter in this picture. She started planning different things she could use on dinner to take hold on him. After all he was going to become new General Manager of company not small post. She smiled. Now she was wife of General Manager. She did right by not marrying that stupid Chirag. He could never managed so much in life. After all he didn't have any money. She was happy regarding her earlier planning. She knew that planning made her life just perfect. She smiled with confidence and started planning for her future again.
When Ritu went home, she started to plan a nice party. She knew that she must plan something perfect now. She knew that Raj was planning dinner outside but she could plan a party in house this way. She could stop that dinner. Then she decided that she must call all relatives and friends. She knew that they would demand one party and then she had to say yes so she started phoning. Then slowly she agreed to give party on that day. Then she ordered everything from prestigious hotel. She was not going to cook once again. She smiled happily then called Raj. She expected him to say that he planned it all. But then suddenly event took strange turn. Raj said " Wow that is great. Actually I need to go to pick up Tushar too. He is coming home today. I have even taken his admission in school near by. His grade are so good that they agreed immediately. But of course we have to give interview. They call parents but it is just normal procedure." She was so shocked. Tushar was coming. She just hated this. But still she kept control on herself and started pretending to be good mother who loved her kid and good wife who loved her husband. But somewhere in her heart she knew that it was not truth. She just hated it. But she arranged a perfect party for all. She was so happy about it. She kept telling this line to her soul. Then Trupti called her. She told every thing to Trupti. Trupti started laughing. "Tushar is just small boy. He couldn't guess your plan." " You don't understand. He is small boy still he is not brainless." Trupti began to sound confused. She couldn't believe a small boy could do such things. Until now she never sensed that Ritu was doubting her small son. Tushar was such a small boy. Trupti was sure that Ritu was not right this time. She had seen Tushar. He was smart kid but nothing sinister seemed to be inside his soul. He looked cute and nice. Trupti " Stop talking about him this way. He seemed like nice boy to me." " Really? Why don't you adopt him?" Trupti was so angry. Trupti knew her daughters were not as smart as Tushar but she loved them. " I like my daughter with my soul. I don't want any son." " Stop lying. You want one. Just you don't have guts to say this." Trupti was so shocked. She never desired for a son. She was always so happy to get her daughters. She never wanted to one more man in her house to boss on her. Her husband was enough bossy. She just needed some money for her to please her daughters. They deserved things which her husband was not ready to give. She hated him for it. But she never wanted to change her daughters. She wanted to change her husband. Trupti was so upset. " I want my daughters. You said it yourself that you hate your son but that doesn't mean I hate my daughters." Ritu started laughing in strange way. Trupti was so upset. Trupti " I am little bit busy today." " Ohh really. So you are angry since I told you the truth." Ritu said it in such way that Trupti sensed for first time in life that something was wrong with her. Ritu was really believing that Trupti wanted a son. Trupti " Bye." Ritu started laughing. So it worked too. She wanted to get rid of Trupti. She started smiling. Just yesterday she located a better job. She wanted a full time job now. She didn't want to babysit Tushar. She told it to Raj so he was planning for some maid. But Ritu wanted some better job not just same old job. Trupti was good friend but she didn't manage to tell her that she wanted more money. This way Trupti could had created big drama which had involved Raj in it. She knew that Trupti was not planning to give up on her so soon. But now Trupti would never want to see her face. She knew that Trupti loved her daughters too much. She knew that now she could resign easily. She started singing happily. She was doing everything as per her plan. Then she suddenly heard sound of door bell. She opened her door. It was her son Tushar. Tushar smiled towards her but she sensed it in his eyes that he knew everything. Raj smiled happily when he saw arrangement of party. Raj " So who is invited?" " Everyone." Tushar jumped with joy. " Mom did you tell Trupti Auntie to bring my cake?" Ritu started shivering. She knew that her son sensed it. She knew that her son was going to take revenge on her. She could see it in his eyes. She knew that she could not face him. She just ran in kitchen. Tushar looked at Raj with confused expression. Tushar " What is wrong with Mom? " " I don't know. She was happy when I left her before going to office." Ritu went in kitchen. She sensed that she was shivering. She knew that Tushar just knew everything. It was going to be worst for her. Tushar could move ahead as per his wishes now. Then she heard Tushar calling to Trupti. Soon she sensed that Raj was supporting him. They were telling Trupti that she was acting so strange. She soon sensed that this way Trupti would soon accept their invitation. Trupti wanted to keep friendship. But Ritu wanted to break it. She wanted to go out and stop that plan but she was too scared. She didn't understand why did she felt so scared of her son. He was just small boy. But he had something inside him. She knew that he was more evil than her. Then she decided that she must face him. She went out. But soon she started sweating. Tushar gave her smile. He started to come near her. He wanted to hug her. But she felt that he might manage to take something out of her mind. He might locate her plan. He was something totally evil. She just pushed away from him. Ritu " Just stay away from me." Raj was so angry. " What is wrong with you? You are pushing your own son." " He is not my son. I mean he is my son but never acted like mine. He always kept spreading lies about me." Tushar started crying now. Tushar " Mom I never did anything like that." " Shut up. You are a evil boy." Tushar stared crying when suddenly guests started coming. Ritu knew that she had to pretend. But she couldn't stop shivering. She was so scared of Tushar. She slowly began to feel strange fear. Then she suddenly began to feel world was moving in round way around her. She wanted to control herself. But she couldn't stop it. Soon she sensed that she was going to faint. Raj ran towards her and catch her before she fall on floor. It was worst feeling for her.
Raj was so shocked. Until now he never felt that Ritu had any problem. She always looked perfect. He never thought that one day she would faint like that. He just didn't understand why did she was pointing her son. Tushar was crying. He kept saying that he did nothing. Raj knew that he was telling truth. It was horrible for them both. But he knew at that point. He had just one option. It was to call ambulance and admit Ritu in hospital. He was so confused. Soon guest would start coming. Then first guest entered. It was his cousin and his family. They were shocked when they saw Ritu in such state. Cousin " Why did you call us if she was sick?" Raj " She was perfect when I left home. In fact she planned everything. " Cousin's wife " Such thing happened suddenly. This is not time to chat. Just call ambulance. " Raj started searching for Doctor's number. At that point he just couldn't find any thing. But his cousin did for him. Tushar was crying. Cousin's wife went near him and started consoling her. They sat there while waiting for ambulance. Cousin " What happened? Did you two fought about something? Like sending Tushar to hostel !!" Raj " No. It was over. I have already manage to take him out of hostel." " So what was the trouble?" Tushar " Mom think I am evil." That couple looked at Tushar with sympathy. Cousin " Your Mom was angry with you since she was sick. Nothing else." Raj " Yes. And she was screaming on him. She was saying that he would tell lies about her. But Tushar never did that." " She might be hallucinating due to her health issue." Raj " I don't understand. She was perfect few seconds before and suddenly it all started." Cousin's wife " Such sickness happen suddenly. They are like storm. Sometimes you get warning for it and sometimes you don't" Then they heard voice of ambulance. Raj " I will go but you have to take care of Tushar and also attend guests. I mean food is going to come any way. I don't want people going home with hungry stomach." Cousin's wife " Don't worry I will manage. Just relax." Then ambulance and Doctors entered. Doctor " My god. I think her blood pressure is too high." Then he injected something to her. Tushar was crying whole time. When Raj reached to hospital, he was so scared. His cousin kept telling everything. Then Doctor said " It looked like something mental than physical." Raj " But I thought she was acting this way due to her physical problem." " What problem? She didn't have any physical problem except blood pressure and which is rising due to mental trouble." " But she didn't have any mental problem. In fact we are arranging party on my promotion. She suddenly started screaming on our son." Raj told every thing to Doctor step by step. Doctor " This appears to be strange. I think you need a psychiatrist." Then Doctor called another Doctor. Psychiatrist soon joined them. Psychiatrist who appeared exhausted " I hope you have good reason to call me in such way. I have long list of patients. Now a days my patients are increasing. I don't know if it is good news or bad. Since may be people are getting educated so they are coming or may be more people are becoming mad so they are coming." Raj slowly looked at psychiatrist with smile. Raj " I really need you. It is not just about my wife but son too. She is calling him evil." " What? What is his age?" " He is in fifth standard." " Did she watch some horror film like Oman?" Raj looked confused. Psychiatrist started laughing. " I am saying this since it want to relax atmosphere. Frankly it is not matter of one day. We need to work on it together so let's laugh instead of crying every time." Raj nodded and gave artificial laugh." My god you need to work on smile." Then they started discussing entire issue. Psychiatrist " I need to talk to your wife before understanding it." Raj nodded. When Ritu was fine, first Raj went inside. Her blood pressure was okay now. But Doctor told him not to mention Tushar before her. He whole time kept talking about other things. But soon she started insisting that they must send Tushar back in Hostel. He couldn't say yes to her madness. She started screaming on him. He was confused when he started to call Doctor who managed to put her to sleep. Then Psychiatrist came in room. " Can I suggest you one thing? " " Yes." " Let me talk with her. Don't see her for few days." " But she is my wife." " But she is my patient. Trust me. I will keep informing you." Raj nodded. In his heart he knew that he didn't have much options. Then Raj slowly went away. Then Psychiatrist went to meet Ritu. Ritu kept insisting for Raj for sometime but then slowly she liked to chat with psychiatrist. She started to tell him all. Psychiatrist did friendly chat. Then he went away. He called Raj. " Well, your wife seemed to have paranoid mood disorder." " But why?" " It is due to guilt consciousness." " Guilt regarding what? Did she cheated on me?" " No,,no..she just felt guilty about planning every thing." " But we all plan. I plan many things too." Psychiatrist told him every thing. Raj started laughing. " I know everything about her. She just didn't understand it. I know all I am not stupid." " I know but give me sometime to convince it." " But why Tushar?" " Well it's just bad luck. But don't worry. She will get over it." Raj was crying but he tried to hide it. Raj " Tushar was asking about Mom." " Why don't you bring him to me? I mean I will not charge for it. Just bring him once. I have enough patient. I don't want to increase them." Raj " Okay fine." Raj decided that Tushar needed help now. He was not eating very well. He kept asking about Mom. Raj " Can I bring him now? " "Sure." Raj " Thanks." Raj called Tushar. Tushar " Are we going to Mom? I will apologize..." " No listen to me. You are big boy now. So you must understand you have to meet Mom's Doctor." Tushar suddenly seemed to understand it. Tushar " Fine Dad. Mom is sick let's meet Doctor." Raj nodded. First time he felt that he found road. Suddenly he sensed hope. He smiled. Finally he learned to smile. But he sensed one thing Ritu's plans for her good life turned out worst for her. He always planned a lot better.
The End
Ritu was searching different items to cook her food. She wanted to cook every thing in perfect way. She needed to sense different style of cook. She wanted it all to be perfect. Today her husband's Boss was coming for lunch. She wanted to cook in kitchen in good way. She started to arranging her vegetables in proper way. She needed to do it in best way. Normally Ritu had always suggested to Raj to call his Boss in hotel. This way every thing would work in perfect way. But this time it all happened suddenly. They had decided one hotel but suddenly his Boss needed to change day of lunch. When they asked that hotel about that day, it turned out that it was booked on that day. Raj started to suggesting different hotels. But Ritu started to feel scared. She didn't want to take his Boss in wrong way. Then his Boss insisted that he wanted a simple lunch since he had too many of those spicy lunches. Then Raj decided that he must invite him at home. There was not suitable hotel with simple lunch near his house or Boss's house. He had his budget too so he couldn't afford to take Boss to that hotel which might turn out suitable for him. He decided that he might just cook every thing in his home. He started to plan it in home. He told Ritu about it. Ritu was working women so she knew that she had to explain it to her cook. Then she felt that her cook was not so good to do it. She felt that it would be better if she did it by herself. She started to gather information about it. It was worst thing for her. She had to do her work and entertain Boss of her husband. She just wished only if Raj took his Boss somewhere else. She started inquiring about different dishes. Then she went in kitchen. She bought all items in home. She kept record of them. She kept feeling upset about it. She kept forgetting many things. It happened to her when she started to feel nervous about it. She began to sense that her work might turn in worst way. She needed to cook with positive spirit. But she kept feeling nervous. She began to sense that she must had to cook. She knew that it was her duty. She took out that book which had receipes. She just wanted to call hotel and order. But she knew that Raj would sense it. Raj was not that much cooperative when she started to use those shortcuts. He would get angry if she did it in totally wrong way. But she didn't understand why did he needed to save so much money. She knew that his Boss could surely understand if he decided to take him outside. She was not so expert in cooking and whenever guest came she always managed to make mistake. But then she decided that she must keep her mind steady now. She must do it properly. She took out all vegetables and kept them before her when suddenly Raj entered " What are you doing? Don't put Brinjal in any thing? My Boss hate them." " You are telling it to me so late. I can't do this vegetable without Brinjal." " Then change recipe." " My god cooking is not game. Do you have some sense? I have worked so hard to get that recipe. I can't change it now." Raj started to look nervous. He needed to move ahead with confidence before job. But he never had those guts. She just wished that only if he showed few more guts before world. But she knew that he would just kept screaming on her. Raj did the same thing. Finally she decided that she could adjust. She could look food without Brinjal. Then she got an idea. " Which type of Brinjal you don't want?" " Type of Brinjal?" " Yes. Brinjal have many types. I think your Boss must hate big Brinjal." Raj looked confused and nodded. Then he vanished out of kitchen. She started laughing. She loved when she managed to turn Raj on her fingers. She was so happy by it. She just wished only if Raj was little more smart. But then she felt that it was great since she could act per her wishes this way. She smiled happily and started cooking vegetable with Brinjal. She knew that his Boss would not complaint about food. Boss would just admired. Bosses didn't criticize food normally serve to them. Specially when she would use her special charm to impress him, he knew that after her sweet smile she would win that game. She knew that her cooking would be admired if she handled situation properly. She smiled happily. She started to feeling confident again. She looked food in best way. She even called Raj to taste it and she received even admiration from him. She smiled happily. She knew that she was going to win this show. But then she had to cook and after cooking she needed to get ready. She needed to wear simple cloth but with style. She had to impress Raj's Boss. She needed to present herself before him as hard working wife who had to take all responsibilities due to absence of Raj. This way she could tell Boss that Raj deserved promotion and increments. She always managed to get things in her way when she decided so she started cooking in best way. She knew that she must dress now. She started to get dressed. Then she never selected a dress for Raj and told him to get dressed. He did as she said. She was so happy. She liked things when Raj moved as per her choice and today was that lucky day.
Ritu dressed in perfect way. She started to arrange things perfectly for Boss. When Boss entered in house with Raj, she whole time kept telling him how hard she worked to make food right. She kept insisting that Raj was so busy in office. Soon she began to see guilt on his Boss's face. She began to smile happily. Then she started to talk about different things. His Boss started to catch her every word sweetly. She felt so happy. She knew guilt conscious work every time. She started to feel happiness from soul. She knew that when they would reach to end of this meeting. His Boss had already made up his mind to give him promotion. She knew how did turn things in that way. She knew that she was so talented in this. She started judging things in different way. She began to plan now how did she could achieve gift from Raj for her hard work. After all she worked so hard to get those things in proper way. She needed some gift. By end of meeting Boss was so impressed with her that he even admired her vegetable of Brinjal. She knew that she was great but still she just never managed to get things properly in life. She never wanted husband like Raj. She wanted someone strong and powerful. But she didn't have time and Raj was so wealthy from side of family. When her parents brought that proposal before her of Raj, she was not interested in it. Actually she was after other boy from college. She hoped that Chirag would get good job since he was topper of class. Everything was planned. She knew that Chirag was under her thumb. But on that point her luck turned in worst way. A rich girl started taking interest in Chirag. Soon Chirag forgot her and went after that rich girl so she decided that she must plan properly too. She decided that she needed to change her boy friend. Inside her college she didn't find any suitable replacement since most of boys knew that she was after Chirag so none of them was interested in her. This way Chirag managed to destroy her chances of finding proper match in college. She just wanted to find someone who would become profitable for her plan. She needed to find someone who had plans. She started searching for such a boy. She began to analyse every one step by step. She took in consideration their properties and their qualification. She knew that in her college no one would take interest in her so she started on internet. It was nice process. She could find many boys there. She knew that it was age of studying but still she also kept tag on boys who could become her husband. She kept checking what education would give better payment. She started to search different proposal but no one seemed as perfect as Chirag. He was perfect but she was not rich enough for him. Then one day finally found Raj. He was rich enough. But he was not smart. She didn't felt that attraction towards him at beginning but then step by step she started to like his concern. She began to sense that she could handle him on her fingers so she decided that Raj was best husband. She married to him. Now she was planning her life just according to her wishes. She was sitting on table. She was doing every thing just as she wished. She had little problem regarding cooking but it was solved with her other skill. Raj tried to dominate her many times but she just managed to manipulate him. Finally that party was over. Raj went away with his Boss. She took breathe of relief. Then her door bell rang. It was her maid. She specially called maid to clean this. She was not going to clean this mess. She cooked that was enough stunt for her. She gave instruction and went in her room. She took a nice shower and then she went back to her work. It was perfect house for her. She wanted peace now. She started doing her office work from home. She started sending files to Boss who wrote in her email that she was happy. She smiled. She liked to have boss as lady. She didn't want to handle male Boss. It might complicate matter for her. Her Boss Trupti was her good friend. They planned everything together. Any one could easily say they were partners in crime. She started laughing at that thought when Raj entered in room. Raj " What is so funny?" She controlled herself. She didn't want Raj to think that she was not exhausted. Ritu " I was telling my Boss about today's work. She asked me that did she pay so less salary that I didn't manage to get food from hotel?" Raj looked upset. Raj " Come on Honey. You can cook for my boss sometimes." " No I can't so I tried to work this out in such a way that you get that promotion." " I am going to get it. Don't you worry." " But you are not pushy enough." " But you have pushed for me." " I know. But I just keep my fingers crossed." Raj " This is happening just because of you. You are my lucky charm." Ritu smiled. She knew that this was happening due to Raj's work. Her one time cooking couldn't do this miracle but she convinced Raj in that way. She was so happy that he took that bait. Now she could get credit for his promotion too. She began to smile on her smartness. " Fine. Now I need to do my work. Is it okay if I keep light on?" " Of course. You know me. I have my eye cover so you can keep light as long as you want." " But I don't understand why did you have to sleep in afternoon?" " Since I want rest. Please let me sleep." Ritu smiled. She wanted that thing but still she pretended as if she didn't like to give Raj feel that she was giving him something. She always worked this way. She loved this style. So Raj slept and she started chatting with Trupti regarding how could they manage to get more customer for their factory.
When Ritu confirmed that Raj was sleeping, she started chatting with Trupti about her stunts. Trupti " My god you are lucky Raj didn't sense it. I mean my husband sense it in seconds." " That is charm of my style. I just turn all fingers to him. But I don't like what happened today. I have to cook!! Do you feel I am losing my charm?" " Come on. You have to do little bit things like that you can't just expect him to be totally fool." " Ohh." After saying this Ritu started laughing. Ritu " Any way I am concerned about his promotion what do you feel? Did he get it this time?" Trupti " According to my information he might get. I mean he is senior now and other candidates are not that strong." " So I did wise move by pulling out that cooking stunt." Trupti " Surely you get credit now. I just don't understand how did you do it? I mean I just kept working day after day for my husband and he never appreciate me." " It is skill. I just always planned every thing." Trupti " I wish only if I was smart like you. I could have done things properly." " Come on every one can't be like me." Then Ritu started laughing. She loved her brain just due to it she had managed to do all. She was moving every thing according to plan. Then she suddenly sensed that Raj was looking at her with angry eyes. She started shivering. She was tense. She felt that he heard all. But then he just said to her " Stop talking so loudly." She nodded. But she was so scared. It was scary. She couldn't imagine what would happen if he heard her. She knew that it would spoil her every plan. But he just kept looking at her in sleepy eyes. It was clear that he might had heard but it didn't make any sense to him. She smiled " Sorry honey. I will talk in slow voice now." Then he went back to sleep. Trupti started asking in scared voice. " What happened did he heard it?" " No..no but we can't take risk now. Let's talk about business now." Then they started talking about planning and plotting regarding business so that matter was forgotten there. Ritu decided that she must not take risk. She must show extra sweetness to Raj. But then she felt that it might make him more suspicious so she decided that she just keep her eyes open. From next morning every thing started in normal way. Raj didn't seem to be interested in asking about last night's conversation. Ritu was so happy. But then by afternoon she started feeling sick. She was so upset. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. Raj was gone to office so she had to go to Doctor alone. Doctor checked her and gave her medicine regarding acidity. Ritu " But Doctor I never had this problem before." " I know but sometimes it started to due to some change in diet. I can give you medicines about it." Ritu " Doctor are you sure that it is not morning sickness?" Doctor started laughing slowly. Doctor " I don't feel so." Ritu smiled. " I am so glad. I just don't want more kids." Doctor " But you have just one son who is even in hostel." " Yes but he is already enough trouble for me." " Why?" " He kept calling me again and again regarding some complaint about hostel. It was already decided that he was coming back home next year by Raj. I wanted my son to disciplined but Raj is just spoiling him." Doctor " But I don't feel that way. I feel you need to give your son more affection. Kids need parents guidance. " " Really? But what sort of guidance he would get in empty house under babysitter. I mean. I am going on work and Raj is also going to office so Tushar would stay alone whole day." " But you will return home to night and that was enough for your son." " I accept it if you suggest this way Doctor." " Come on. Don't you miss your son?" " Me? I don't miss him at all. He just kept complaining whole time about my attitude. He kept telling how wrong I am. I don't like it." " He is just kid." " Kid? He is in sixth standard now. He is enough grown up to understand that he must respect parents but he had allergy in giving it to them." " Some kids act like that in that age." " So do you feel that he is cause of acidity?" Doctor started laughing then said " Easily possible. You are tense about him that might be cause of acidity." " This son always manage to give me tension." Then she said bye to Doctor and took medicines from receptionist. She just hated it when Tushar came home. Tushar was small in size but he was intelligent. He could easily dominate mind. When he was staying with them, he started spoiling her plans as soon as he came wise enough to sense meaning of planning. She tried every thing to force him on her side. But he never wanted to be like her. He wanted to be like Raj. He kept giving clues to Raj regarding her plans so she always had to cancel them. He was coming back in her life. She was so scared. She knew that she had done many plans which were still in process. When suddenly her phone rang, it was from Raj. Raj " Honey Boss gave me promotion just because of you." Then he kept admiring her. Ritu was pleased her plan worked. But she was not that happy today. She kept feeling one thing that some trouble was going to start. She knew that her planning was going to come back on her in worst way. She kept answering Raj without thoughts. During that process she even agreed to go for dinner. She knew that it was not right in this health. But she said yes. She had to go. She decided that she must built stronghold on Raj before Tushar enter in this picture. She started planning different things she could use on dinner to take hold on him. After all he was going to become new General Manager of company not small post. She smiled. Now she was wife of General Manager. She did right by not marrying that stupid Chirag. He could never managed so much in life. After all he didn't have any money. She was happy regarding her earlier planning. She knew that planning made her life just perfect. She smiled with confidence and started planning for her future again.
When Ritu went home, she started to plan a nice party. She knew that she must plan something perfect now. She knew that Raj was planning dinner outside but she could plan a party in house this way. She could stop that dinner. Then she decided that she must call all relatives and friends. She knew that they would demand one party and then she had to say yes so she started phoning. Then slowly she agreed to give party on that day. Then she ordered everything from prestigious hotel. She was not going to cook once again. She smiled happily then called Raj. She expected him to say that he planned it all. But then suddenly event took strange turn. Raj said " Wow that is great. Actually I need to go to pick up Tushar too. He is coming home today. I have even taken his admission in school near by. His grade are so good that they agreed immediately. But of course we have to give interview. They call parents but it is just normal procedure." She was so shocked. Tushar was coming. She just hated this. But still she kept control on herself and started pretending to be good mother who loved her kid and good wife who loved her husband. But somewhere in her heart she knew that it was not truth. She just hated it. But she arranged a perfect party for all. She was so happy about it. She kept telling this line to her soul. Then Trupti called her. She told every thing to Trupti. Trupti started laughing. "Tushar is just small boy. He couldn't guess your plan." " You don't understand. He is small boy still he is not brainless." Trupti began to sound confused. She couldn't believe a small boy could do such things. Until now she never sensed that Ritu was doubting her small son. Tushar was such a small boy. Trupti was sure that Ritu was not right this time. She had seen Tushar. He was smart kid but nothing sinister seemed to be inside his soul. He looked cute and nice. Trupti " Stop talking about him this way. He seemed like nice boy to me." " Really? Why don't you adopt him?" Trupti was so angry. Trupti knew her daughters were not as smart as Tushar but she loved them. " I like my daughter with my soul. I don't want any son." " Stop lying. You want one. Just you don't have guts to say this." Trupti was so shocked. She never desired for a son. She was always so happy to get her daughters. She never wanted to one more man in her house to boss on her. Her husband was enough bossy. She just needed some money for her to please her daughters. They deserved things which her husband was not ready to give. She hated him for it. But she never wanted to change her daughters. She wanted to change her husband. Trupti was so upset. " I want my daughters. You said it yourself that you hate your son but that doesn't mean I hate my daughters." Ritu started laughing in strange way. Trupti was so upset. Trupti " I am little bit busy today." " Ohh really. So you are angry since I told you the truth." Ritu said it in such way that Trupti sensed for first time in life that something was wrong with her. Ritu was really believing that Trupti wanted a son. Trupti " Bye." Ritu started laughing. So it worked too. She wanted to get rid of Trupti. She started smiling. Just yesterday she located a better job. She wanted a full time job now. She didn't want to babysit Tushar. She told it to Raj so he was planning for some maid. But Ritu wanted some better job not just same old job. Trupti was good friend but she didn't manage to tell her that she wanted more money. This way Trupti could had created big drama which had involved Raj in it. She knew that Trupti was not planning to give up on her so soon. But now Trupti would never want to see her face. She knew that Trupti loved her daughters too much. She knew that now she could resign easily. She started singing happily. She was doing everything as per her plan. Then she suddenly heard sound of door bell. She opened her door. It was her son Tushar. Tushar smiled towards her but she sensed it in his eyes that he knew everything. Raj smiled happily when he saw arrangement of party. Raj " So who is invited?" " Everyone." Tushar jumped with joy. " Mom did you tell Trupti Auntie to bring my cake?" Ritu started shivering. She knew that her son sensed it. She knew that her son was going to take revenge on her. She could see it in his eyes. She knew that she could not face him. She just ran in kitchen. Tushar looked at Raj with confused expression. Tushar " What is wrong with Mom? " " I don't know. She was happy when I left her before going to office." Ritu went in kitchen. She sensed that she was shivering. She knew that Tushar just knew everything. It was going to be worst for her. Tushar could move ahead as per his wishes now. Then she heard Tushar calling to Trupti. Soon she sensed that Raj was supporting him. They were telling Trupti that she was acting so strange. She soon sensed that this way Trupti would soon accept their invitation. Trupti wanted to keep friendship. But Ritu wanted to break it. She wanted to go out and stop that plan but she was too scared. She didn't understand why did she felt so scared of her son. He was just small boy. But he had something inside him. She knew that he was more evil than her. Then she decided that she must face him. She went out. But soon she started sweating. Tushar gave her smile. He started to come near her. He wanted to hug her. But she felt that he might manage to take something out of her mind. He might locate her plan. He was something totally evil. She just pushed away from him. Ritu " Just stay away from me." Raj was so angry. " What is wrong with you? You are pushing your own son." " He is not my son. I mean he is my son but never acted like mine. He always kept spreading lies about me." Tushar started crying now. Tushar " Mom I never did anything like that." " Shut up. You are a evil boy." Tushar stared crying when suddenly guests started coming. Ritu knew that she had to pretend. But she couldn't stop shivering. She was so scared of Tushar. She slowly began to feel strange fear. Then she suddenly began to feel world was moving in round way around her. She wanted to control herself. But she couldn't stop it. Soon she sensed that she was going to faint. Raj ran towards her and catch her before she fall on floor. It was worst feeling for her.
Raj was so shocked. Until now he never felt that Ritu had any problem. She always looked perfect. He never thought that one day she would faint like that. He just didn't understand why did she was pointing her son. Tushar was crying. He kept saying that he did nothing. Raj knew that he was telling truth. It was horrible for them both. But he knew at that point. He had just one option. It was to call ambulance and admit Ritu in hospital. He was so confused. Soon guest would start coming. Then first guest entered. It was his cousin and his family. They were shocked when they saw Ritu in such state. Cousin " Why did you call us if she was sick?" Raj " She was perfect when I left home. In fact she planned everything. " Cousin's wife " Such thing happened suddenly. This is not time to chat. Just call ambulance. " Raj started searching for Doctor's number. At that point he just couldn't find any thing. But his cousin did for him. Tushar was crying. Cousin's wife went near him and started consoling her. They sat there while waiting for ambulance. Cousin " What happened? Did you two fought about something? Like sending Tushar to hostel !!" Raj " No. It was over. I have already manage to take him out of hostel." " So what was the trouble?" Tushar " Mom think I am evil." That couple looked at Tushar with sympathy. Cousin " Your Mom was angry with you since she was sick. Nothing else." Raj " Yes. And she was screaming on him. She was saying that he would tell lies about her. But Tushar never did that." " She might be hallucinating due to her health issue." Raj " I don't understand. She was perfect few seconds before and suddenly it all started." Cousin's wife " Such sickness happen suddenly. They are like storm. Sometimes you get warning for it and sometimes you don't" Then they heard voice of ambulance. Raj " I will go but you have to take care of Tushar and also attend guests. I mean food is going to come any way. I don't want people going home with hungry stomach." Cousin's wife " Don't worry I will manage. Just relax." Then ambulance and Doctors entered. Doctor " My god. I think her blood pressure is too high." Then he injected something to her. Tushar was crying whole time. When Raj reached to hospital, he was so scared. His cousin kept telling everything. Then Doctor said " It looked like something mental than physical." Raj " But I thought she was acting this way due to her physical problem." " What problem? She didn't have any physical problem except blood pressure and which is rising due to mental trouble." " But she didn't have any mental problem. In fact we are arranging party on my promotion. She suddenly started screaming on our son." Raj told every thing to Doctor step by step. Doctor " This appears to be strange. I think you need a psychiatrist." Then Doctor called another Doctor. Psychiatrist soon joined them. Psychiatrist who appeared exhausted " I hope you have good reason to call me in such way. I have long list of patients. Now a days my patients are increasing. I don't know if it is good news or bad. Since may be people are getting educated so they are coming or may be more people are becoming mad so they are coming." Raj slowly looked at psychiatrist with smile. Raj " I really need you. It is not just about my wife but son too. She is calling him evil." " What? What is his age?" " He is in fifth standard." " Did she watch some horror film like Oman?" Raj looked confused. Psychiatrist started laughing. " I am saying this since it want to relax atmosphere. Frankly it is not matter of one day. We need to work on it together so let's laugh instead of crying every time." Raj nodded and gave artificial laugh." My god you need to work on smile." Then they started discussing entire issue. Psychiatrist " I need to talk to your wife before understanding it." Raj nodded. When Ritu was fine, first Raj went inside. Her blood pressure was okay now. But Doctor told him not to mention Tushar before her. He whole time kept talking about other things. But soon she started insisting that they must send Tushar back in Hostel. He couldn't say yes to her madness. She started screaming on him. He was confused when he started to call Doctor who managed to put her to sleep. Then Psychiatrist came in room. " Can I suggest you one thing? " " Yes." " Let me talk with her. Don't see her for few days." " But she is my wife." " But she is my patient. Trust me. I will keep informing you." Raj nodded. In his heart he knew that he didn't have much options. Then Raj slowly went away. Then Psychiatrist went to meet Ritu. Ritu kept insisting for Raj for sometime but then slowly she liked to chat with psychiatrist. She started to tell him all. Psychiatrist did friendly chat. Then he went away. He called Raj. " Well, your wife seemed to have paranoid mood disorder." " But why?" " It is due to guilt consciousness." " Guilt regarding what? Did she cheated on me?" " No,,no..she just felt guilty about planning every thing." " But we all plan. I plan many things too." Psychiatrist told him every thing. Raj started laughing. " I know everything about her. She just didn't understand it. I know all I am not stupid." " I know but give me sometime to convince it." " But why Tushar?" " Well it's just bad luck. But don't worry. She will get over it." Raj was crying but he tried to hide it. Raj " Tushar was asking about Mom." " Why don't you bring him to me? I mean I will not charge for it. Just bring him once. I have enough patient. I don't want to increase them." Raj " Okay fine." Raj decided that Tushar needed help now. He was not eating very well. He kept asking about Mom. Raj " Can I bring him now? " "Sure." Raj " Thanks." Raj called Tushar. Tushar " Are we going to Mom? I will apologize..." " No listen to me. You are big boy now. So you must understand you have to meet Mom's Doctor." Tushar suddenly seemed to understand it. Tushar " Fine Dad. Mom is sick let's meet Doctor." Raj nodded. First time he felt that he found road. Suddenly he sensed hope. He smiled. Finally he learned to smile. But he sensed one thing Ritu's plans for her good life turned out worst for her. He always planned a lot better.
The End
