Adventure story 329. Happy family man

                                                                        Happy family man
Satish was so happy with touch of cold weather. It was really wonderful. It's touch was giving so freshness. He started to feel so pleasant due to it. He looked around. He was so happy in that greenery. He started to move ahead with suddenly he heard voice of his son. Ashish was calling him. He smiled and took him in his arms. Satish " Where is your Mom?" Ashish pointed her. Satish turned back. He saw that it was unknown lady. He was so confused. That lady was beautiful but still she was unknown. She was not his wife. He started to get so confused. He started to scream on Ashish "Where is your Mom?" He began to cry. He ran out of his arms and went back to that lady. Satish was so confused. She was not his wife. He started to abuse her. He began to curse her. When he suddenly heard voice of his true wife. Dipti was trying to wake him up. Dipti " What happened? Why are you screaming like that in dream?" Satish looked around in confused way. He sensed that he was in his bedroom. He started to look around. Everything was just perfect. He started to understand that dream was truly nothing but a stupid dream. He wanted to laugh on it. But he just didn't dare. He felt so scared. Dipti was looking at him with confused expression. He gave her a forced smile. His wife looked at him with confused expression " What happened?" " Nothing I had just one stupid dream." "But then why did you screamed?" " Nothing. Stop dragging this issue. Are you going to fight with me in night too?" Dipti gave him angry look. Dipti " You screamed at night and disturbed me. But instead of feeling guilty you are screaming on me. I just hate your this attitude. You always manage to do mistake and then scream on me." Satish began to feel more upset. Satish " Fine. I am sorry. Let's go back to sleep." Dipti was so angry now. " I am not going to sleep in this room. I am going out." Satish knew that he had to stop her. Satish " I am sorry. Okay. I screamed since I was too sleepy. I accept my mistake. Come on. Let's go to sleep." Dipti already started to take her blanket and pillow. He knew that it was too late for compromise. He managed to get involved in another fight again. He just kept rubbing his forehead but then suddenly Dipti stopped. Dipti " I don't want to sleep on that uncomfortable sofa. Why should I leave room? It was your mistake. You must go out." Satish " I am not going anywhere." " Then I will sleep here too." Satish was so frustrated. " I never told you to leave this room." " I know. But I am not acting as per your orders. I planned to go out since I want it but now I feel it might have me pain in back so I am sleeping here." Satish just nodded and went to sleep again. He was so frustrated. He knew that wherever he did then finally just land in some fight. He knew that he needed to control anger but Dipti needed to act little bit reasonable too. But she kept pushing her point. He sensed one thing that they were not made for each other. But then they liked each other too. At beginning every thing was looking perfect but then slowly step by step every thing started to change. He began to sense that they were not perfect match. Dipti had totally different choices than him. At beginning she used to nod at his choices but she couldn't able to carry it on for long time. Soon she began to demand for compromise from his side too. He was never used to such time of compromise. He wanted his life in own style. It started from simple issue like lunch and dinner. At beginning Dipti used to cook what he like. Then she started to cook what she liked too. It was frustrating. Since she loved sweet items and he loved food full of chilies. It couldn't be compromised. Since he began to feel strange sensation like vomiting when he tried to eat that sweet food. Then she started cooking both items which meant wastage of food. She could cook things in perfect limit. So he had to eat food of yesterday on many days. He thought that after marriage his problem regarding cooking his food would solve but it didn't. It just managed to get more complicated. He had to keep eating food of yesterday. He wanted to cook fresh. Sometimes he felt that he might just start cooking. He began to think that it was better idea. After all this would manage to reduce Dipti's work too. But he was not sure that this would make her happy. She might took it in wrong way. He didn't understand her thinking but still while sleeping he decided that he would think what he would cook next day. It was making him happy since he felt that he was returning to his bachelor's days. He just wanted to go back to that time. He knew that he had nice wife but they were not suitable in any way. He decided that he must sleep if he wanted to wake up next day on time. So he started to try to sleep.
        Next day when Satish woke up, he went in kitchen. But he was so happy to get his kitchen just for himself. Before his marriage he used to cook in his style every day in kitchen. He used to cook food full of green chilies. He never used to cook any thing without chilies. Those red and green chilies were his important ingredients. He never used to eat any thing without chilies. But then slowly he started to get bored of cooking. He needed to go in office and do his work too. He started ordering food from outside. It was not good news for his health or budget. Then he began to think about marriage. He knew that his wife was not his cook. But he knew that she would cook good homemade food. He inquired with his other friends. He understood that his friends didn't even knew cooking. Their wives were doing cooking in their house. So he decided that he needed wife. Some one who could give him company and cook good food for him. When he met Dipti, he understood that she knew many things about cooking. She was nice cooking. Her nature was good too. So he got married with her. But somewhere in his heart whole time he was expecting a good cook. He never said it clearly. But he thought that Dipti would sense it. She managed to understood it too. She never learned cooking but he never understood that he was not Boss in house any more. He wanted her to understand him and act just like him. But she was different than him. At beginning she tried to adjust but slowly she began to demand adjustment from him too. Then she became pregnant. She wanted him to act like responsible father which was not easy. He was not interested in acting responsible. She expected him to adjust with change of food. When kid entered in family, she reduced chilies. He started to get frustrated with that taste. Every day he began to complaint. He started saying " You are cooking in worst way. I hate this food. I hate sweet food."" But Ashish need food without chilies." "Stop using his name. It is not just about you. It is about you too. You want to cook sweet food since you like them." Dipti started to look so angry. Dipti " From first day of our marriage I kept cooking food of your choice while I can hardly eat it without water. I did my best to please you. But you keep treating me like your maid. Now I am mother of your child. Now at least give me some respect." Satish felt so shocked. He had never expected this from Dipti. He never understood that she deserved partnership in every thing. She had right to choose her choice of food too. He was so upset when he sensed that now he might needed to eat sweet items too. " I hope you are not planning to make sweets too." " Of course. I love them. I will cook some spicy item for you. But I need some items of my choice too." Satish was so upset on that day. From that day their arguments just began. He kept insisting on his choices and Dipti kept insisting on her choices. Their life became a war. They kept fighting every day to get things of their choice. Satish didn't understand how could this happen to him. Dipti had different choice in every thing. It seemed that they didn't have any thing common between them. He never sensed it. He never thought that some one would have choices which were so different than him. He always felt that there must be some common factors in two person's choice. They started to keep every thing different. In a way they needed to live separate life. But they soon sensed that they had to reduce their arguments since it was creating worst effect on Ashish. Ashish needed nice parents so they started to avoid fight. But their anger towards each other was not reduced at all. It was so  frustrating. Satish decided that he must cook food for himself and that was solution for him. He started cooking it. When Dipti woke up, she immediately went in Ashish's room. Ashish was small kid but still he liked to sleep alone. Satish sensed that he might wanted to avoid their fights and screaming. But Ashish had his own room at this young age and he wanted to sleep there. Ashish was happy there. He heard Dipti screaming his name. He sensed one thing that Dipti just kept screaming every time. She was so frustrating. He screamed " Stop screaming like that." Dipti came in kitchen. She was so angry. " Okay fine. Wake up your son in your sweet style." Then she saw him cooking. " What are you doing?" " Nothing just cooking some breakfast." She was so angry now. She pushed away some pots. " So you hated my cooking so much that you are going to cook your food differently just for yourself." " No..no it is not like that. I thought I might help you." She gave him angry look. " Fine. But cook soon and get lost out of my kitchen. I want your stunt to be over before I get Ashish ready. I want kitchen to be empty when I serve him breakfast." He nodded. He quickly finished his cooking and packed his tiffin. But then Ashish came running inside. Ashish took one bite out of his food. He smiled. " Mom this is great I want it." Dipti was so angry. " But this is not healthy. Come with me." She literally dragged him out of kitchen but Ashish managed to eat lot of it before she could take him out. Dipti " Now if he got sick, you are responsible for it." Satish was so upset. He just packed his tiffin and ran away to office as soon as possible.
     Satish was so upset by this attitude in home. When he reached to his office, he felt so happy. In office he could eat whatever he want, He started chatting with his friends. Everything was perfect. At home Dipti was just nuisance for him. He knew that she was trying her best but he was so upset. After few hours his mobile rang. Dipti " Ashish is complaining about stomach pain. I am taking him to Doctor." Satish was so shocked. He never thought that little bit of chilly could harm his son so much. He thought that Dipti would start complaining but she didn't say anything. Dipti " It might take some time so I told you." Satish knew that she told him since she didn't want him to repeat his mistake. She was telling truth. Ashish couldn't able to eat and digest food full of chilies. It was so shocking. He needed his life but he couldn't imagine doing something which could make Ashish sick. Ashish was so small. He couldn't do something which could make him sick. But he wanted his life too. He started to regret his decision of getting married. He wanted happiness in his life but instead of that he just managed to complicate it. He turned back to his work. But he decided in his mind that he was not going to eat that sweet food. He might start to eat outside. He liked that idea from his thought. It would be perfect for him. He needed to eat outside. This was everything would become perfect for him. He started working with full attention again. He wanted to do his best but his life was not giving him best. It started to get frustrating. When he started to return home, he began to feel nervous again. He rang door bell. Dipti opened door with smile. She welcomed him. Ashish was playing so he was okay now. When he asked about him, Dipti told him that Ashish was fine. Dipti " I can understand you need spicy food and I have convinced Ashish that he must not eat it. I know you have your choices so I have made vegetable for you." Dipti smiled. Then she served him just food of his choice. Ashish didn't seem to be interested in it now. Ashish must had sensed his mistake so every thing turned out to be fine. He could now eat food of his choice. He liked that vegetable which Dipti had cooked for him. He smiled so every thing in his life became normal again. He started to try to relax but still something inside his soul was hurting and confused. He decided that he was feeling uneasy without cause. He started to look out of window. In that darkness he felt whole world was something different. He felt it's that dark part which he never sensed before. He started to look around at night. He never had time to do since he got married. Before marriage after his work, he used to just sit and enjoy his life. Dipti didn't put any burden on him but still he couldn't just ignore his responsibilities. Somewhere in his heart he knew that Dipti was not that much fond of watching nature. She was happy in her house. He tried to generate her interest in nature but she never felt that way. Her world was totally different. Even now at this moment she was busy with Ashish. After that she was going to call her friend. Even that call was not going to be useless one. He noticed that every day she chatted with her friend about many useful things like healthy diet foods, where was discount, from where she could get what, even advice regarding any problem in house. Her call was never useless. He knew that his watching nature like that without need might be useless in Dipti's eyes. But she never said it. She never said any thing unless she needed to. But when she started to say something normally it turned into argument. It sensed wise that they didn't chat with each other. When they were busy in their world, they were happy people so normally they didn't cross them. So he started watching out of window when Ashish came in his laps. Satish smiled. " Did you finish your dinner?" " Yes Daddy." Then he smiled. They both started enjoying nature and Ashish started telling him stories about his school. It was special time for father and son. Satish loved it. So his marriage gave him most precious gift and that was his son. He started chatting with him happily. After some time Satish sensed that Ashish was getting sleepy. He managed to take Ahsish in laps and slowly Ashish fall asleep. Dipti came behind without noise. She smiled. " You are so great. It take me hours to put him to sleep and you did it in minutes." Satish smiled happily. This was that moment which he wanted to store in his mind. He began to feel his life was wonderful. He didn't need change in it. He went to sleep with smile. Dipti was giving him her special look which managed to melt his heart. He began to sleep that on end of day he was happy man. He could survive every trouble in life.
    Satish was sleeping in bed. He turned to other side to touch his wife. She smiled. But he was shocked when he sensed that he was not sleeping with his wife. She was somebody else. She was so beautiful. He liked her but he couldn't sleep with some other woman. He couldn't do this to Dipti. She started to come near him. He was so scared. He started to run away from her. Then he suddenly fall from his bed. He managed to hit his head on corner of bed. But when he sensed that woman was coming towards him, he started running out of room. He sensed that she was following him. He managed to even ran out of his house. He started running to lift. He went in lift. He knew that he was in night gown. But he didn't want to go back in house. He was so confused. He started looking at his night gown. It was cold outside. He started shivering. He began to feel so cold. Then he noticed that every one on road was watching him in strange way. He began to feel so scared. Then suddenly his building's watchman came near him. " Sir what happened? Why are you standing like that in such a cold?" Satish started to  look around in confused way. He didn't understand how did he supposed to answer. When suddenly Dipti came out running, Dipti " What happened? Why did you ran out of house like that?" " Some one was in our bed." " What?" Watchman " Some one was in your bedroom. You came to call me. You should have used intercom." Dipti " It never work." Then they all went upstairs. He was so scared. He didn't want to see that woman again. But soon he sensed that he must had missed something. Dipti didn't saw her. He was so scared. He began to feel that it might be his dream. But he decided that he must let them check. Ashish was standing in hall and shivering with fear. Ashish ran in Dipti's arms as soon as they entered. Ashish started asking " What happened Daddy? " Satish gave a smile and said " Nothing my boy. Just wait out side with Mom while Dad and this Uncle check house." Ashish nodded. Dipti " No I will stay with you. What if that person ran out of house. I just ran after you without thinking." Satish " And you kept Ashish inside alone." " I never thought some one is in house. I thought you are running away from someone so I just got confused." Watchman " Let's check." Satish nodded.  Then they all went inside. Dipti was so scared. They looked in every corner carefully. But they found nothing. Watchman " Where did you saw this person?" Satish was so confused. He just pointed at curtain. Watchman moved it. Watchman saw window was open. Watchman " Did you keep this window open?" Dipti " No. But it's latch is not fine. It kept opening." " Then any one could have vanish out of it. When that thief sensed, Satish sir woke up and calling for help, He must had vanished." Satish " How could you assume he?" Dipti was shocked now. " So you feel that thief was she." Satish " I can't say with certainty." Watchman looked convinced. " It is possible. There are lot of women who are thieves." Dipti " Whoever might be that thief but tomorrow I am going to repair this latch but until then I want to move this cupboard there." Watchman " Good idea." Then they moved cupboard and window was closed. Watchman went away happily since he got his tip and appreciation for extra work. Dipti " What did you saw?" Now Satish was confused. He couldn't confess it. But then when he saw in Dipti's eyes she sensed that he could lie to her. He just couldn't control his emotion. He felt so upset but then he didn't even dare to say. He just ran inside washroom while Dipti kept calling him from behind. He managed to console himself when he was alone, he told himself that he would not dream again or he would not believe it. When he came out, he was confident again. Dipti was so upset. " Why did you run like that?" " Can't you see it is washroom?" Ashish started laughing after hearing his reply. Soon even Dipti joined him. Dipti  " You are right. After seeing some one like this in our room. I must understand you need it." Then they all laughed. Satish was scared inside but during that laugh he forgot every thing. Suddenly every thing started to become perfect for him. He decided that he would not dream in strange way again. He once again went to sleep in his room. This time he was sure that he wouldn't have that nightmare.
        Satish woke up, he went in kitchen for breakfast. He felt that it was perfect morning. Satish saw Dipti was cooking something. He could just see her back. Satish " Dipti will you cook me my breakfast quickly?" Then she turned. It was not Dipti. It was that another woman again. He sensed that it was nightmare. He started slapping himself and screaming " I have to wake up. I have to wake up." Dipti was so shocked,when she saw Satish was slapping himself in sleep. She was observing for many days. Satish seemed having nightmares. At beginning she thought that it would vanish but it started increasing day by day. Specially today she felt that he was having some problems. She felt one thought that there was no intruder in house. He was scared of her. She didn't understand why when finally she reached to door it was too late. Their watchman was standing before her. She pretended that some one was inside bedroom. But she knew that this was not truth. She sensed one thing that if she wake up him on this moment. He might tell truth in his fear. She couldn't sleep every day with a man who kept screaming in middle of night. She was so frustrated. She decided that she must gave it a try. She wake him up. Satish was confused. Satish " Who are you?" Dipti " I am your wife." " Not you that other woman in my dream." Dipti was so angry " So you have other woman in life?" " No..no in dream." " How can a woman enter in dream without coming in reality?" " I don't know. I am scared of her." He hugged her. He was actually shivering. She sensed that he was even having temperature. She gave him medicines. She decide that she must take him to Doctor next morning. She felt that he might be getting those dreams due to his sickness. After that he slept peacefully for entire night. He was so upset when he woke up. He decided that he must visit Doctor. Dipti came in room and suggested same thing. He was so happy. Finally she agreed with him on one thing which was most important for him. Then they kept Ashish with neighbor and went to Doctor. Doctor checked him. Doctor " He is fine now. What happened to him at night?" Dipti explained all. Satish " Am I getting those dreams due to sickness?" " No you are getting sick due to those dreams. You need a psychiatrist." Satish was shocked. He never felt something was wrong with his mind. Satish " But I never felt mentally disturbed." " Then why are you getting those dreams? You have no option go to this Doctor." Satish was so nervous but he nodded. When they went out, Dipti kept looking at him. Dipti " May be we should take second option?" He nodded. Then they kept taking opinions. But nothing helped. He kept having those horrible dreams. He was so frustrated. Finally Dipti started to sleep in Ashish's room so he was alone in his room. He could scream as much as he wished. But then he sensed that he had it enough. Finally one day he took half day from office and went to psychiatrist. He had to sit for long time so he sensed that there was many patients like him. He was so anxious. But he needed to go inside. He waited with patience. Finally his number came. As soon as he entered in room and took seat, psychiatrist smiled and asked " So you are suffering from sleepless night. Insomnia." " No I am sleeping but I kept getting nightmare in which I have another wife and then I woke up scared." Psychiatrist started laughing. Satish began to feel nervous. Psychiatrist " No need to feel ashamed. These thing happened some times." Then Satish explained all. Psychiatrist chatted with him. Finally psychiatrist told him " You are going to be alright. This is happening due to your mental trauma. You have married to a woman who is not like you. You like her but still you have different choices so you keep dreaming another wife but then you start to feel guilty for betraying your wife." "But I am seeing a woman whom I never saw." " It might be your imagination." Then he started to describe her. Then psychiatrist thought for long time. Psychiatrist " Can you tell me your age?" Satish told him. Psychiatrist searched for models at years of his childhood. Soon Satish found that face on one household product. Satish was shocked. Psychiatrist " Now just relax. If I could find that model who entered in your dream, I can stop her too." Satish nodded and smiled. From that day Satish started his treatment slowly he managed to get over that dream. It was not easy. When he sensed that he was not dreaming again, he told Dipti about it. She also started to sleep in bedroom with him. This time he didn't claim that she was wrong since she couldn't sleep when he was screaming since he knew that some one needed to take care of house. If she started to stay awake, it would be hard for him too. He was finding hard to just do office work during those days when he had dream. He managed to save his job by giving cause of sickness. Finally when it was over, he learned one thing. He needed to act mature. He could adjust with choices of Dipti if he learned to act like grown up person. He didn't need to drag his wife everywhere. When he sensed it, then slowly his problems were started to vanish. He truly became a happy family man. He was always glad that he went to that psychiatrist.
                                                                             The End
