Lisa's husband
Wind was playing with Lisa's hair she kept controlling them still nothing was working. She liked it when her hair were out of control at least her one part was getting freedom. It was so frustrating. She wanted to move as per her wishes. She suddenly controlled her feelings. She must not let her emotions rule her mind. She wanted to become rich. She knew that she needed money for happiness. Her brother was sitting beside her. He was also reading some financial magazine. She smiled happily towards him. She was so happy that her brother Ankush was truly taking interest in earning money. She knew life could be beautiful only when they had money. Her Mom always told that she must value money. She knew that earning it was not easy so she needed to marry rich boy but Ankush needed to earn it. He needed to earn more money for his family. Lisa went back to sleep. But then she touched her face. She sensed that her skin was not normal. She was so upset by her skin troubles. She needed to look perfect. She knew that if she didn't people would taunt her. She needed money. Her parents told her again and again that she couldn't survive without money. She looked at mirror. She sensed that she was beautiful. She could achieve many things with this beauty. She smiled. Then she sensed another passenger was moving ahead. She turned. She saw that it was nice boy. He was looking at her. She felt so proud but then suddenly his Mom came ahead. " Come on. Let's move ahead Satish." Satish " Yes Mom. I think we got next berth." His Mom smiled. His Mom turned towards Lisa. She smiled. She gave her sweet smile. She returned it. Lisa's parents started to smile. Soon they began to know things about each other. This lady wanted to go by plane but they couldn't got tickets. Satish's Mom name was Kanti. They lived in bunglow. She even had three flats. Her husband owned a company. Lisa's parents were impressed. Kanti pointed towards Satish " He will become director of it soon." Lisa's Dad " That is great. What is your education?" Satish started to tell about his education. He was talking in such way that Lisa could see style of rich boy in him. She knew one thing that she had to impress him. She began to feel so happy when his eyes kept returning to her. He looked away. It was so strange feeling she felt as if she was some heroin of movie. It was so wonderful. It had that enchanting effect. She was so sure that Satish was falling in love with her. She began to imagine many things about him. She began to feel that by the end of this journey. She would get married with him. It was perfect time. She had just finished her graduation. She could get married now. She began to create different dreams. When suddenly Kanti spoke to Lisa " What are you doing?" She told her education. " Now that is not enough to get job. Do you have job?" Lisa's Mom " No. She is planning to get married." " Get married? Without job she couldn't get smart enough to run a house. She had understand world." Satish kept nodding. He was no longer looking at her. He suddenly became person who hardly interested in her. Lisa's parents started to look upset. Lisa's Dad " She knew all household things like cooking and other.." " No..no she needed to earn too. She would get bore in house." Lisa " But I love painting. I can spend time in it." Kanti started laughing. Every one looked at her. Kanti " I don't want to hurt you but tell me what is use of painting except filling room of house and keeping useless garbage." Lisa was so hurt. She loved her art from heart. Her parents didn't say anything. Her Mom tried to defend her art but it was useless before Kanti's attitude. Kanti " I know you might want to admire your daughter's art and cherish it but it is useless in practical life." Suddenly Lisa's Dad began to get convinced. Lisa's Dad " I totally agree with you. She needed to study further. These paintings are useless. We need to find some way to move ahead in life. We need to sense what is valuable on every step." Lisa was feeling so upset. But slowly Ankush came near her and pointed Kanti's hand and mouth. " Look at that woman. She is eating your food without any hesitation and cursing you." Lisa looked at her hands. Ankush was telling true. Lisa's Mom offered snacks she looked to Kanti. Kanti was eating it with full pleasure then she suddenly sensed it. Kanti " Why don't she try to sell this snacks? It is also good business." Lisa was shocked. She couldn't imagine to cook so much foods that it could feel entire shop and selling goods to people was never her strong point. She felt so hurt. If selling things to people was her strong point she should have sold her paintings only. She should have earned by them. She began to feel so sick. She started watching out of window. After some time Kanti got tired so she and Satish went back to their berth. Lisa was so hurt. Her dream turned into nightmare within seconds. She sensed one thing life was not as easy as she hoped.
Lisa went back to her android again. She was so upset. Kanti managed to hurt her from inside. She loved painting but Kanti clearly turned every one against her. She knew that her Mom was not even on her side. Her Mom also started to look confused. She didn't even turn towards her Mom. She kept avoiding their eyes. She knew that she was useless in view of every one. She didn't want to do some job or business. She wanted to paint. Ankush came near her. Ankush " You don't need to listen to her. You like painting so you must keep doing it." " It is okay. I am not paying much attention to her." "Ohh so it is about that boy." Lisa felt so shy. Lisa " It is not about any boy. He was looking at me. I was not even paying attention to him." "Really then why were you so upset when his Mom began to chat against you." " Okay enough. You can clearly see the way his Mom talked with me. One thing was clear that this boy was not going to marry me so why discuss that issue?" " Since I feel you are running after totally wrong boy and he would cause lot of harm to you." " What did you understand about a boy?" Lisa started asking him with smile. " Well I can tell you what is nature of a boy and which one is nice for my sister?" " Ohh really so which boy is nice for me?" " Some boy who truly care for you; who stood up for you. If possible I want a mother-in-law who act like mother with you. Little bit strict than Mom but this woman!! She is acting like Hitler. You don't need that type of mother-in-law in your house." " Really so you know so much about marriage and things like that?!!" Lisa started laughing on her brother. Ankush started to look upset " You never took me seriously. But trust me. I have spend my entire life with boys while you have hardly talked with few." " So you are saying you know more boys and I know more about girls." " Exactly?!!" " So keep this in your mind when you are going to marry some girl." Ankush made strange face and they started laughing. Lisa "I am not going to think about him. I know he is not interested in me. I am not that beautiful in his eyes." "Come on!! Don't you understand it is not about beauty. He wanted money. Quick money. His wife is money printing machine for him. You don't need to become one." " Stop it. Many people want their wives to work." " Sure. But I can see that strange greediness in his eyes." " Really so you see some strange shine in his eyes." Lisa was joking about it. She was feeling so relaxed when her parents came near her. She suddenly stopped talking. Ankush felt tense feel in air. Lisa smiled. Lisa " What happened?" Her Dad smiled " Nothing honey. We just want to talk." Her Mom looked at Ankush pointedly. Ankush " This is berth of train. You can't tell me to go out of room." Her Dad laughed. Her Mom looked more upset. Her Dad sat near her. Dad " Honey Satish is really nice boy." Lisa nodded. "He wanted you to do some job." Lisa " But Dad I want to paint." Her Dad looked upset and angry "But it will not feed you." Ankush " But Satish suppose to at least do that." Her Dad screamed on Ankush " Some one need to teach some manners to this boy." Lisa's Mom " Stop blaming every thing on me. Lisa want to paint. We all agreed to let her do it." Her Dad " You agreed to let her do it. I never agreed." " Really? So what do you want her to do now? Start doing whatever your so called prince charming Satish want her to do?" " Really? Now you are standing against me. Few moments ago he was perfect in your eyes too." " Sure but at that time he was not asking my daughter to forget her life. Her life is painting. She just couldn't forget it and land herself in office." " But you need to forget hobbies if you want to achieve something in life." Lisa was so confused. She never thought that she had to change for marriage. She thought that she needed to find some one who accept her with her choices. It was so upsetting to her. She never said no to her Dad. She knew that he was doing it for her best. But she could ignore her Mom's opinion and her brother's advice after all they knew her lot more than her Dad. She wanted to be happy in life. She was confused. Her parents kept arguing loudly. Ankush didn't said anything but he came slowly near her. Ankush " Listen to Mom. She is telling truth. That boy is not right for you." Finally after long argument her Mom and Dad stopped arguing. But her Dad managed to abuse her so much. He claimed that her Mom was making her useless. She was going to achieve just failures in her life. He told her that she was good for nothing since she couldn't earn a rupee. She kept listening to all this. She was feeling so sad. Ankush started music on Android and began to tell her to do same. She didn't wanted to listen to music but she sensed that she didn't have option so she kept listening. It was worst day of her life or it might be starting of her worst days of life. Until now they could do every thing as per her Dad's instructions but today they had to go against him. Since her Mom felt that she couldn't burn her daughter's entire life for wimps of her husband. They needed to fight. She couldn't see same sign in her brother's eyes. She felt so helpless. She didn't understand what was her value in world. She was just useless person or she was valuable artist. But she knew one thing disobeying her Dad was not going to be easy. Still she had to fight. She was confused. Sometimes she wished only if she could quit her painting but she knew that she couldn't. Slowly she began to cry.
That whole day Lisa kept feeling upset. She couldn't even able to take normal breathe. She sensed one thing that this vacation was spoiled because of Kanti. She sensed one thing that she needed to change herself. She needed to keep herself away from painting. But then she started to think about employment opportunities and she suddenly sensed that nothing was so promising. She knew that she was not going to become winner. She felt so depressed. She began to feel that her life was totally useless. She began to feel so much sorrow from her soul. She didn't understand how could one day could change every thing for her. She started to feel so much useless. Soon she began to sense that death was welcome thought. She knew that she would never able to earn any money. She would be treated like burden by all. She had one brother too. He would soon going to need house to keep his family. She knew her Dad had one flat but she also knew that it was not for her. She knew that her Dad wanted one flat for himself and one for Ankush. He didn't want her to occupy his flat. But then she decided that she couldn't marry Satish. She would marry someone else. Next day everything was changed. Suddenly her Dad started to behave with her in strange way. Next day when Satish came to berth his Mom was not with him. He was coming from restroom. He stopped to chat with Ankush. He was talking in such friendly way. Then he suggested that they would play cards. During cards he began to chat with Lisa. He had such a promising touch in his voice. Soon Lisa began to feel that his mother might be hard but son was nice. She heard many times mother-in-laws were strict but if husbands were nice then life could be fine. She began to think about Satish again. Satish was looking at her with kind eyes. She began to thinking that insistence on money might be by just his mother. She began to see hopes in this proposal again. Ankush was no longer against him. Ankush also began to like Satish little bit. Lisa's Dad " Where is your Mom?" " She is taking rest. She never understand need of rest. She always keep running after money. Yesterday she was planning to buy some bed sheets but then she found that they were cheap on internet. She wanted to buy them now. She was trying hard to find cheap deal. She started to check different sites to get products. She was so frustrated. She kept looking for it." Lisa " But bed sheet is small matter." " Not to my Mom. She kept making fuss out of every thing. It was worst for health." " But not for Mom. She loved all this." Lisa's Mom " So what is your future plan? You are going to work in your Dad's company?" " No..no I am going abroad soon." Lisa was shocked. " Abroad?" " Yes I am planning to get job there. Dad can run company here. I can manage to get my freedom." They all smiled. " I love my parents but I desire freedom too." Her Dad " You are right. You need to learn things too. So when are you going?" " Well in next month." Everyone started to look confused. They began to feel that it was not possible to manage entire affair in such small time. They could sense Satish's Mom Kanti was against it. Lisa's Dad was not patient man he always preferred direct approach. Lisa's Dad " What is your views regarding marriage?" " Well I want my wife simple and nice. A girl who will adjust with me." Every one nodded. This description would easily matched with Lisa. They all started to smile happily. But they didn't sense that this description could match any girl. Then suddenly Kanti entered near berth. She smiled happily. " I got those bed sheets." She started showing bed sheets and started to give details, began to describe her efforts. Lisa started to show special interest in her talking. Lisa began to sense that if she wanted to marry Satish then she had to adjust with Kanti too. Satish was smiling happily. When Lisa started to feel more confidence now, she started to learn those ways in which Kanti wanted her to deal with her life. Kanti kept telling her. She was learning it step by step. Finally Kanti smiled. Kanti " This girl is nice. She has great potential." Lisa's parents smiled. But Ankush kept anger towards Kanti. She was treating her sister like something inferior. He didn't see them as teacher and student. He saw them like Boss and employee. He saw in Kanti that Boss who kept telling junior they were less. She kept telling bossing on Lisa. Ankush " My sister is just perfect." " Okay honey I know." Kanti said it sweetly and every one smiled. Ankush felt that he was treated like baby. He felt so sad. He looked at Lisa. She was smiling happily. She was giving shy smile to Satish too. He sensed that his sister had fallen in wrong trap of love. He wanted to stop her but he knew that it was useless. He just returned to android. He kept hoping from heart that he was wrong and Satish would marry Lisa but in his heart he felt that it would not happen and finally it would not hurt Lisa's soul. Lisa was working hard to understand Kanti's thinking and now both parents were happy. Ankush sensed that even his mother was falling in their trap. He decided that he must talk with his Mom. He knew that his Mom would not ignore her. She never did that. He began to wait for moment when he could talk with his Mom alone.
Next day Satish came to Lisa's berth. He gave sweet smile and said " Well Mom was calling Lisa." Both parents started smiling. Lisa looked so shy and confused. Then Lisa's Dad told her " Why are you sitting here? Go to Kantiji. She must be needing some help." " Yes Uncle. Actually Mom wanted to discuss about her new project." " New project?" " Yes Mom is planning to start new business. She needed a reliable staff for it but at this moment we can't just employ any one so if Lisa agreed to help Mom. It will be great help to Mom and it will teach many things to Lisa too. After all experience matters in every field." Lisa's Dad gave broad smile and said " Of course. Lisa go with him." Ankush didn't like this idea at all. Ankush stood up. Ankush " I will come with you too." Lisa's Dad gave him angry look " Why did you have to follow your sister like baby everywhere?" Satish"Uncle it's okay. Let him come too. After all he needed to find entertainment in train too. We can play cards. I am getting bored too. Why don't you and Auntie join us?" Lisa's Mom " No..no you kids can enjoy yourself. But just wait for few moments I need help of Lisa for finding something out of my luggage." Suddenly Lisa's Dad looked upset but Satish smiled and nodded. Satish " Fine. Bye Lisa we are waiting for you." Lisa's Dad screamed " What is so important that you stop her?" Lisa's Mom smiled. " She had to get ready." Lisa smiled then she combed her hair and managed to get her dress as best as she could in train. Mom " All the best!!" Lisa smiled then she ran to themail. Ankush was planning to go but Dad stopped him. Dad " Where are you going?" " I am going with her." Mom, " Let him go. But don't irritate your sister." Ankush nodded. Then they went to that berth. As soon as Lisa went to that berth, she tried her best to attract Satish. It was so strange. Ankush never saw her like that. He sensed one thing that his sister was doing it just to manage husband. His Dad was responsible for this. He knew that it was not love. Lisa was not in love with Satish. It could be seen in her eyes. He wanted to stop her from making fool of herself. But then in eyes of Public she was doing nothing wrong. She was just giving sweet smile to Satish. She was just acting little bit free with him like talking with him without any hurdle. But Ankush sensed that it was not normal for Lisa. She was seeing future husband in Satish. Kanti was explaining her work. Lisa was paying attention to her. Lisa was nodding on Kanti's every word. Soon Lisa started to work for Kanti without thinking it's effect on her life. She was doing everything just the way Kanti told her. She was fully dedicated to her. After some time Kanti got tired. Kanti " I need to take rest now. I am not that strong now a days and had to take pills from time to time." Lisa nodded. Lisa " I will go back to my berth." Satish immediately stood up and started searching Kanti's pills in her bag. Ankush also stood up. When they reached to berth, Ankush sat near window. Lisa sensed that her brother was upset about some thing. Lisa " What happened?" Ankush " I don't think she had marriage on her mind. She is treating you like her employee." Every one started laughing. But then in few seconds Lisa's Mom sensed that Ankush was not joking. Lisa's Mom " Are you upset? Since you feel that you will miss your sister after marriage!" Dad " Yes that's perfect cause for this issue." Ankush " No. It is not cause. I am sure that he is not planning to marry Lisa. I feel concern." Lisa " You are too small to understand those issues just trust us. Every thing will fine." Ankush " I don't trust that man at all." Dad " Let him think his way. Slowly he will sense that he is so wrong about Satish." Every one nodded. Ankush started his android once again. He sensed one thing that no one was going to believe him. He knew that it was going to be biggest mistake for family. But then he thought that it would be over with holiday. Finally they reached to destination. Every one was happy. Lisa was jumping with joy. Ankush knew that Satish was not going to call back. He knew hat he was not going to approach. Satish was interested in girl who was rich and better. He couldn't say it loud. Entire time during vacation Mom and Lisa kept dreaming about Satish. Ankush was not enjoying it since he knew that it was just bubble. By end of vacation they already began planning for Lisa's wedding. Ankush knew this was foolish. But he knew that no one was going to believe him so he just kept quiet. Then after vacation they returned to home. Every thing started to get upset when Satish didn't call. Finally Lisa's Mom called Satish's Mom. At beginning she didn't recognise her. But after sometime she remembered. Kanti " It will greatest help if your daughter come here to help me." " Sure but you don't call us so we thought.." " Actually we were too busy in packing for Satish." " Ohhhh when Satish is going." " I just forgot to tell you he is going next week." " Okay next week." Lisa was clearly disappointed. She wanted to spend more time with Satish. But then she felt he must be too busy. They could chat next time. She felt that in marriage she had to make much adjustments after work must come first in life for men. She managed to reduce her disappointments. She managed to feel happy again when her Mom managed to fix time to meet Kanti. Lisa was on top of the world again. She started dreaming again. Ankush was in school on that time. Lisa was glad about it since Ankush always kept judging Satish and his mother in wrong way. It was having worst effect on her. She looked at herself in mirror. She was beautiful no doubt about it. She went away with full confidence.
When Lisa reached to house with her Mom, she was so excited. She went inside. It was nice big house. She was happy to see that beautiful house but it was never about money. She wanted to marry some one who loved her. It was nice when Satish looked at her with those loving eyes. He always kept smiling at her. She sensed to there was love hidden in his eyes. She went inside with hope of that love. But when they went inside, they saw Satish was too busy. Kanti called her. She talked to her. Then she finally she started to telling her about job she had to do. Kanti " If you learn this then it will surely help you in getting marry and afterwards." Lisa felt so shy. She felt that every thing was settled. So after that Kanti discussed how did she supposed to come there to learn job. She nodded. When she returned home, she began to get ready to face Kanti tomorrow. When Ankush came back,every one was discussing marriage. Ankush was confused but he smiled. From that day Lisa started going every day in Kanti's home. She was expecting to see Satish but she didn't see him that much. He was always busy in his room. She kept learning and working. Then one day that day came when Satish was supposed to go abroad. Lisa came to meet him with excitement. But she was shocked when Kanti gave her sweets. Kanti " It's good news. I am starting my business and I can offer you job in my firm." Lisa was shocked. She suddenly sensed that no one would offer job to daughter-in-law in that fashion in which Kanti was offering. She sensed something was wrong. Kanti" I can even give you more amount for extra time since I need to start searching girls for Satish too. I needed to visit parents." Lisa looked at Satish. He was smiling happily. Lisa felt so confused. Lisa " Sorry. I am not interested. I have to go." She just stood up and pretended that her Mom calling her. Kanti looked confused but nodded. Kanti " Remember job will help you in finding nice husband." Lisa nodded and vanished as fast as she could. When she came on road, she called Auto. She sat inside it. She acted like robot entire time. She didn't sense anything from her mind. She finally reached home. Then she started crying. Every one started to ask her questions but she didn't answer. She just kept crying loudly. Her Mom tried to console her but she couldn't stop crying. She began to get breathless. They called family Doctor who gave her sedative. Doctor " What happened? Why did she had such nervous break down?" Lisa's Mom " Nothing much." " Don't lie to me. Tell me." Lisa's Mom told everything to Doctor. " My God why did you force her to quit everything for that boy? You need to understand that marriage is not everything. Do you know anything properly about that boy?" Lisa told all. Doctor " This is nothing. It is quiet possible that this Satish was not nice boy at all. I think you just force your daughter to run after impossible dream..." Doctor kept telling all to Lisa's Mom but she knew that her Dad needed to listen to all this. But then family Doctor called her Dad too. It was worst day for them all. Then they decided to take her to psychiatrist. Lisa's Dad"Running after that boy was totally wrong decision." Lisa's Mom " I thought so at beginning but then he looked so promising. " Ankush " I kept telling you all. But you never understand. Lisa is nice girl. Let her decide her future. She is not burden for us. I will stay with her for my entire life. Don't force marriage on her like that." Lisa's Dad " You are saying this now. But when you will grow up then everything will change." " No it will not." Ankush " I am not like Satish who just think about himself and I will never become like that. I know what I am and I will not change. The girl will marry me has accept me too." Lisa's Dad " This way you will remain without marriage too." Ankush " So what? I want to live my life. If I don't marry, I will not stop breathing. I can enjoy my life in my way. I might miss few things but still I will not spoil life of my sister for it. I will not remain happy if I did. I want you to take her to psychiatrist. Are you going to do that?" Lisa's Mom " I have number of psychiatrist." Lisa's Dad nodded. Then they took appointment. When Lisa woke up, she was not normal. She was not ready to eat anything. She just kept looking at some far away thing which was not existed. Lisa's Mom " I never thought things would turn this way. I never took matter with that seriousness. " Lisa's Dad was nervous too. Lisa's Dad " She is not eating still." Ankush " Dad nothing will change until we don't take her to psychiatrist." " But how could we take her in this condition." "We can. Mom will get her ready. We act as if she had fever." They nodded. They got ready. Lisa was just obeying Mom's orders. She was not moving with her thoughts at all. She looked like a frozen doll. Her eyes were searching in far away places. They tried their best to avoid any person from society. Finally they reached to psychiatrist. They waited. When they went inside, Lisa didn't talk at all. But Psychiatrist kept asking question to her parents. Psychiatrist " You did everything in wrong way for your daughter. Whole time you want her to marry of some rich boy. Just money is not enough even love is important in life. Due to your unnecessary pressure she landed in worst depression. You need to give her time. Now let me handle it." He started explaining them all. Ankush took breathe of relief. First time since entry of that Satish he relieved. He knew that Satish was going to destroy his sister's life and he knew that this psychiatrist was going to cure sister. He smiled happily with hope that everything was finally going to become alright in his family again.
The End
Wind was playing with Lisa's hair she kept controlling them still nothing was working. She liked it when her hair were out of control at least her one part was getting freedom. It was so frustrating. She wanted to move as per her wishes. She suddenly controlled her feelings. She must not let her emotions rule her mind. She wanted to become rich. She knew that she needed money for happiness. Her brother was sitting beside her. He was also reading some financial magazine. She smiled happily towards him. She was so happy that her brother Ankush was truly taking interest in earning money. She knew life could be beautiful only when they had money. Her Mom always told that she must value money. She knew that earning it was not easy so she needed to marry rich boy but Ankush needed to earn it. He needed to earn more money for his family. Lisa went back to sleep. But then she touched her face. She sensed that her skin was not normal. She was so upset by her skin troubles. She needed to look perfect. She knew that if she didn't people would taunt her. She needed money. Her parents told her again and again that she couldn't survive without money. She looked at mirror. She sensed that she was beautiful. She could achieve many things with this beauty. She smiled. Then she sensed another passenger was moving ahead. She turned. She saw that it was nice boy. He was looking at her. She felt so proud but then suddenly his Mom came ahead. " Come on. Let's move ahead Satish." Satish " Yes Mom. I think we got next berth." His Mom smiled. His Mom turned towards Lisa. She smiled. She gave her sweet smile. She returned it. Lisa's parents started to smile. Soon they began to know things about each other. This lady wanted to go by plane but they couldn't got tickets. Satish's Mom name was Kanti. They lived in bunglow. She even had three flats. Her husband owned a company. Lisa's parents were impressed. Kanti pointed towards Satish " He will become director of it soon." Lisa's Dad " That is great. What is your education?" Satish started to tell about his education. He was talking in such way that Lisa could see style of rich boy in him. She knew one thing that she had to impress him. She began to feel so happy when his eyes kept returning to her. He looked away. It was so strange feeling she felt as if she was some heroin of movie. It was so wonderful. It had that enchanting effect. She was so sure that Satish was falling in love with her. She began to imagine many things about him. She began to feel that by the end of this journey. She would get married with him. It was perfect time. She had just finished her graduation. She could get married now. She began to create different dreams. When suddenly Kanti spoke to Lisa " What are you doing?" She told her education. " Now that is not enough to get job. Do you have job?" Lisa's Mom " No. She is planning to get married." " Get married? Without job she couldn't get smart enough to run a house. She had understand world." Satish kept nodding. He was no longer looking at her. He suddenly became person who hardly interested in her. Lisa's parents started to look upset. Lisa's Dad " She knew all household things like cooking and other.." " No..no she needed to earn too. She would get bore in house." Lisa " But I love painting. I can spend time in it." Kanti started laughing. Every one looked at her. Kanti " I don't want to hurt you but tell me what is use of painting except filling room of house and keeping useless garbage." Lisa was so hurt. She loved her art from heart. Her parents didn't say anything. Her Mom tried to defend her art but it was useless before Kanti's attitude. Kanti " I know you might want to admire your daughter's art and cherish it but it is useless in practical life." Suddenly Lisa's Dad began to get convinced. Lisa's Dad " I totally agree with you. She needed to study further. These paintings are useless. We need to find some way to move ahead in life. We need to sense what is valuable on every step." Lisa was feeling so upset. But slowly Ankush came near her and pointed Kanti's hand and mouth. " Look at that woman. She is eating your food without any hesitation and cursing you." Lisa looked at her hands. Ankush was telling true. Lisa's Mom offered snacks she looked to Kanti. Kanti was eating it with full pleasure then she suddenly sensed it. Kanti " Why don't she try to sell this snacks? It is also good business." Lisa was shocked. She couldn't imagine to cook so much foods that it could feel entire shop and selling goods to people was never her strong point. She felt so hurt. If selling things to people was her strong point she should have sold her paintings only. She should have earned by them. She began to feel so sick. She started watching out of window. After some time Kanti got tired so she and Satish went back to their berth. Lisa was so hurt. Her dream turned into nightmare within seconds. She sensed one thing life was not as easy as she hoped.
Lisa went back to her android again. She was so upset. Kanti managed to hurt her from inside. She loved painting but Kanti clearly turned every one against her. She knew that her Mom was not even on her side. Her Mom also started to look confused. She didn't even turn towards her Mom. She kept avoiding their eyes. She knew that she was useless in view of every one. She didn't want to do some job or business. She wanted to paint. Ankush came near her. Ankush " You don't need to listen to her. You like painting so you must keep doing it." " It is okay. I am not paying much attention to her." "Ohh so it is about that boy." Lisa felt so shy. Lisa " It is not about any boy. He was looking at me. I was not even paying attention to him." "Really then why were you so upset when his Mom began to chat against you." " Okay enough. You can clearly see the way his Mom talked with me. One thing was clear that this boy was not going to marry me so why discuss that issue?" " Since I feel you are running after totally wrong boy and he would cause lot of harm to you." " What did you understand about a boy?" Lisa started asking him with smile. " Well I can tell you what is nature of a boy and which one is nice for my sister?" " Ohh really so which boy is nice for me?" " Some boy who truly care for you; who stood up for you. If possible I want a mother-in-law who act like mother with you. Little bit strict than Mom but this woman!! She is acting like Hitler. You don't need that type of mother-in-law in your house." " Really so you know so much about marriage and things like that?!!" Lisa started laughing on her brother. Ankush started to look upset " You never took me seriously. But trust me. I have spend my entire life with boys while you have hardly talked with few." " So you are saying you know more boys and I know more about girls." " Exactly?!!" " So keep this in your mind when you are going to marry some girl." Ankush made strange face and they started laughing. Lisa "I am not going to think about him. I know he is not interested in me. I am not that beautiful in his eyes." "Come on!! Don't you understand it is not about beauty. He wanted money. Quick money. His wife is money printing machine for him. You don't need to become one." " Stop it. Many people want their wives to work." " Sure. But I can see that strange greediness in his eyes." " Really so you see some strange shine in his eyes." Lisa was joking about it. She was feeling so relaxed when her parents came near her. She suddenly stopped talking. Ankush felt tense feel in air. Lisa smiled. Lisa " What happened?" Her Dad smiled " Nothing honey. We just want to talk." Her Mom looked at Ankush pointedly. Ankush " This is berth of train. You can't tell me to go out of room." Her Dad laughed. Her Mom looked more upset. Her Dad sat near her. Dad " Honey Satish is really nice boy." Lisa nodded. "He wanted you to do some job." Lisa " But Dad I want to paint." Her Dad looked upset and angry "But it will not feed you." Ankush " But Satish suppose to at least do that." Her Dad screamed on Ankush " Some one need to teach some manners to this boy." Lisa's Mom " Stop blaming every thing on me. Lisa want to paint. We all agreed to let her do it." Her Dad " You agreed to let her do it. I never agreed." " Really? So what do you want her to do now? Start doing whatever your so called prince charming Satish want her to do?" " Really? Now you are standing against me. Few moments ago he was perfect in your eyes too." " Sure but at that time he was not asking my daughter to forget her life. Her life is painting. She just couldn't forget it and land herself in office." " But you need to forget hobbies if you want to achieve something in life." Lisa was so confused. She never thought that she had to change for marriage. She thought that she needed to find some one who accept her with her choices. It was so upsetting to her. She never said no to her Dad. She knew that he was doing it for her best. But she could ignore her Mom's opinion and her brother's advice after all they knew her lot more than her Dad. She wanted to be happy in life. She was confused. Her parents kept arguing loudly. Ankush didn't said anything but he came slowly near her. Ankush " Listen to Mom. She is telling truth. That boy is not right for you." Finally after long argument her Mom and Dad stopped arguing. But her Dad managed to abuse her so much. He claimed that her Mom was making her useless. She was going to achieve just failures in her life. He told her that she was good for nothing since she couldn't earn a rupee. She kept listening to all this. She was feeling so sad. Ankush started music on Android and began to tell her to do same. She didn't wanted to listen to music but she sensed that she didn't have option so she kept listening. It was worst day of her life or it might be starting of her worst days of life. Until now they could do every thing as per her Dad's instructions but today they had to go against him. Since her Mom felt that she couldn't burn her daughter's entire life for wimps of her husband. They needed to fight. She couldn't see same sign in her brother's eyes. She felt so helpless. She didn't understand what was her value in world. She was just useless person or she was valuable artist. But she knew one thing disobeying her Dad was not going to be easy. Still she had to fight. She was confused. Sometimes she wished only if she could quit her painting but she knew that she couldn't. Slowly she began to cry.
That whole day Lisa kept feeling upset. She couldn't even able to take normal breathe. She sensed one thing that this vacation was spoiled because of Kanti. She sensed one thing that she needed to change herself. She needed to keep herself away from painting. But then she started to think about employment opportunities and she suddenly sensed that nothing was so promising. She knew that she was not going to become winner. She felt so depressed. She began to feel that her life was totally useless. She began to feel so much sorrow from her soul. She didn't understand how could one day could change every thing for her. She started to feel so much useless. Soon she began to sense that death was welcome thought. She knew that she would never able to earn any money. She would be treated like burden by all. She had one brother too. He would soon going to need house to keep his family. She knew her Dad had one flat but she also knew that it was not for her. She knew that her Dad wanted one flat for himself and one for Ankush. He didn't want her to occupy his flat. But then she decided that she couldn't marry Satish. She would marry someone else. Next day everything was changed. Suddenly her Dad started to behave with her in strange way. Next day when Satish came to berth his Mom was not with him. He was coming from restroom. He stopped to chat with Ankush. He was talking in such friendly way. Then he suggested that they would play cards. During cards he began to chat with Lisa. He had such a promising touch in his voice. Soon Lisa began to feel that his mother might be hard but son was nice. She heard many times mother-in-laws were strict but if husbands were nice then life could be fine. She began to think about Satish again. Satish was looking at her with kind eyes. She began to thinking that insistence on money might be by just his mother. She began to see hopes in this proposal again. Ankush was no longer against him. Ankush also began to like Satish little bit. Lisa's Dad " Where is your Mom?" " She is taking rest. She never understand need of rest. She always keep running after money. Yesterday she was planning to buy some bed sheets but then she found that they were cheap on internet. She wanted to buy them now. She was trying hard to find cheap deal. She started to check different sites to get products. She was so frustrated. She kept looking for it." Lisa " But bed sheet is small matter." " Not to my Mom. She kept making fuss out of every thing. It was worst for health." " But not for Mom. She loved all this." Lisa's Mom " So what is your future plan? You are going to work in your Dad's company?" " No..no I am going abroad soon." Lisa was shocked. " Abroad?" " Yes I am planning to get job there. Dad can run company here. I can manage to get my freedom." They all smiled. " I love my parents but I desire freedom too." Her Dad " You are right. You need to learn things too. So when are you going?" " Well in next month." Everyone started to look confused. They began to feel that it was not possible to manage entire affair in such small time. They could sense Satish's Mom Kanti was against it. Lisa's Dad was not patient man he always preferred direct approach. Lisa's Dad " What is your views regarding marriage?" " Well I want my wife simple and nice. A girl who will adjust with me." Every one nodded. This description would easily matched with Lisa. They all started to smile happily. But they didn't sense that this description could match any girl. Then suddenly Kanti entered near berth. She smiled happily. " I got those bed sheets." She started showing bed sheets and started to give details, began to describe her efforts. Lisa started to show special interest in her talking. Lisa began to sense that if she wanted to marry Satish then she had to adjust with Kanti too. Satish was smiling happily. When Lisa started to feel more confidence now, she started to learn those ways in which Kanti wanted her to deal with her life. Kanti kept telling her. She was learning it step by step. Finally Kanti smiled. Kanti " This girl is nice. She has great potential." Lisa's parents smiled. But Ankush kept anger towards Kanti. She was treating her sister like something inferior. He didn't see them as teacher and student. He saw them like Boss and employee. He saw in Kanti that Boss who kept telling junior they were less. She kept telling bossing on Lisa. Ankush " My sister is just perfect." " Okay honey I know." Kanti said it sweetly and every one smiled. Ankush felt that he was treated like baby. He felt so sad. He looked at Lisa. She was smiling happily. She was giving shy smile to Satish too. He sensed that his sister had fallen in wrong trap of love. He wanted to stop her but he knew that it was useless. He just returned to android. He kept hoping from heart that he was wrong and Satish would marry Lisa but in his heart he felt that it would not happen and finally it would not hurt Lisa's soul. Lisa was working hard to understand Kanti's thinking and now both parents were happy. Ankush sensed that even his mother was falling in their trap. He decided that he must talk with his Mom. He knew that his Mom would not ignore her. She never did that. He began to wait for moment when he could talk with his Mom alone.
Next day Satish came to Lisa's berth. He gave sweet smile and said " Well Mom was calling Lisa." Both parents started smiling. Lisa looked so shy and confused. Then Lisa's Dad told her " Why are you sitting here? Go to Kantiji. She must be needing some help." " Yes Uncle. Actually Mom wanted to discuss about her new project." " New project?" " Yes Mom is planning to start new business. She needed a reliable staff for it but at this moment we can't just employ any one so if Lisa agreed to help Mom. It will be great help to Mom and it will teach many things to Lisa too. After all experience matters in every field." Lisa's Dad gave broad smile and said " Of course. Lisa go with him." Ankush didn't like this idea at all. Ankush stood up. Ankush " I will come with you too." Lisa's Dad gave him angry look " Why did you have to follow your sister like baby everywhere?" Satish"Uncle it's okay. Let him come too. After all he needed to find entertainment in train too. We can play cards. I am getting bored too. Why don't you and Auntie join us?" Lisa's Mom " No..no you kids can enjoy yourself. But just wait for few moments I need help of Lisa for finding something out of my luggage." Suddenly Lisa's Dad looked upset but Satish smiled and nodded. Satish " Fine. Bye Lisa we are waiting for you." Lisa's Dad screamed " What is so important that you stop her?" Lisa's Mom smiled. " She had to get ready." Lisa smiled then she combed her hair and managed to get her dress as best as she could in train. Mom " All the best!!" Lisa smiled then she ran to themail. Ankush was planning to go but Dad stopped him. Dad " Where are you going?" " I am going with her." Mom, " Let him go. But don't irritate your sister." Ankush nodded. Then they went to that berth. As soon as Lisa went to that berth, she tried her best to attract Satish. It was so strange. Ankush never saw her like that. He sensed one thing that his sister was doing it just to manage husband. His Dad was responsible for this. He knew that it was not love. Lisa was not in love with Satish. It could be seen in her eyes. He wanted to stop her from making fool of herself. But then in eyes of Public she was doing nothing wrong. She was just giving sweet smile to Satish. She was just acting little bit free with him like talking with him without any hurdle. But Ankush sensed that it was not normal for Lisa. She was seeing future husband in Satish. Kanti was explaining her work. Lisa was paying attention to her. Lisa was nodding on Kanti's every word. Soon Lisa started to work for Kanti without thinking it's effect on her life. She was doing everything just the way Kanti told her. She was fully dedicated to her. After some time Kanti got tired. Kanti " I need to take rest now. I am not that strong now a days and had to take pills from time to time." Lisa nodded. Lisa " I will go back to my berth." Satish immediately stood up and started searching Kanti's pills in her bag. Ankush also stood up. When they reached to berth, Ankush sat near window. Lisa sensed that her brother was upset about some thing. Lisa " What happened?" Ankush " I don't think she had marriage on her mind. She is treating you like her employee." Every one started laughing. But then in few seconds Lisa's Mom sensed that Ankush was not joking. Lisa's Mom " Are you upset? Since you feel that you will miss your sister after marriage!" Dad " Yes that's perfect cause for this issue." Ankush " No. It is not cause. I am sure that he is not planning to marry Lisa. I feel concern." Lisa " You are too small to understand those issues just trust us. Every thing will fine." Ankush " I don't trust that man at all." Dad " Let him think his way. Slowly he will sense that he is so wrong about Satish." Every one nodded. Ankush started his android once again. He sensed one thing that no one was going to believe him. He knew that it was going to be biggest mistake for family. But then he thought that it would be over with holiday. Finally they reached to destination. Every one was happy. Lisa was jumping with joy. Ankush knew that Satish was not going to call back. He knew hat he was not going to approach. Satish was interested in girl who was rich and better. He couldn't say it loud. Entire time during vacation Mom and Lisa kept dreaming about Satish. Ankush was not enjoying it since he knew that it was just bubble. By end of vacation they already began planning for Lisa's wedding. Ankush knew this was foolish. But he knew that no one was going to believe him so he just kept quiet. Then after vacation they returned to home. Every thing started to get upset when Satish didn't call. Finally Lisa's Mom called Satish's Mom. At beginning she didn't recognise her. But after sometime she remembered. Kanti " It will greatest help if your daughter come here to help me." " Sure but you don't call us so we thought.." " Actually we were too busy in packing for Satish." " Ohhhh when Satish is going." " I just forgot to tell you he is going next week." " Okay next week." Lisa was clearly disappointed. She wanted to spend more time with Satish. But then she felt he must be too busy. They could chat next time. She felt that in marriage she had to make much adjustments after work must come first in life for men. She managed to reduce her disappointments. She managed to feel happy again when her Mom managed to fix time to meet Kanti. Lisa was on top of the world again. She started dreaming again. Ankush was in school on that time. Lisa was glad about it since Ankush always kept judging Satish and his mother in wrong way. It was having worst effect on her. She looked at herself in mirror. She was beautiful no doubt about it. She went away with full confidence.
When Lisa reached to house with her Mom, she was so excited. She went inside. It was nice big house. She was happy to see that beautiful house but it was never about money. She wanted to marry some one who loved her. It was nice when Satish looked at her with those loving eyes. He always kept smiling at her. She sensed to there was love hidden in his eyes. She went inside with hope of that love. But when they went inside, they saw Satish was too busy. Kanti called her. She talked to her. Then she finally she started to telling her about job she had to do. Kanti " If you learn this then it will surely help you in getting marry and afterwards." Lisa felt so shy. She felt that every thing was settled. So after that Kanti discussed how did she supposed to come there to learn job. She nodded. When she returned home, she began to get ready to face Kanti tomorrow. When Ankush came back,every one was discussing marriage. Ankush was confused but he smiled. From that day Lisa started going every day in Kanti's home. She was expecting to see Satish but she didn't see him that much. He was always busy in his room. She kept learning and working. Then one day that day came when Satish was supposed to go abroad. Lisa came to meet him with excitement. But she was shocked when Kanti gave her sweets. Kanti " It's good news. I am starting my business and I can offer you job in my firm." Lisa was shocked. She suddenly sensed that no one would offer job to daughter-in-law in that fashion in which Kanti was offering. She sensed something was wrong. Kanti" I can even give you more amount for extra time since I need to start searching girls for Satish too. I needed to visit parents." Lisa looked at Satish. He was smiling happily. Lisa felt so confused. Lisa " Sorry. I am not interested. I have to go." She just stood up and pretended that her Mom calling her. Kanti looked confused but nodded. Kanti " Remember job will help you in finding nice husband." Lisa nodded and vanished as fast as she could. When she came on road, she called Auto. She sat inside it. She acted like robot entire time. She didn't sense anything from her mind. She finally reached home. Then she started crying. Every one started to ask her questions but she didn't answer. She just kept crying loudly. Her Mom tried to console her but she couldn't stop crying. She began to get breathless. They called family Doctor who gave her sedative. Doctor " What happened? Why did she had such nervous break down?" Lisa's Mom " Nothing much." " Don't lie to me. Tell me." Lisa's Mom told everything to Doctor. " My God why did you force her to quit everything for that boy? You need to understand that marriage is not everything. Do you know anything properly about that boy?" Lisa told all. Doctor " This is nothing. It is quiet possible that this Satish was not nice boy at all. I think you just force your daughter to run after impossible dream..." Doctor kept telling all to Lisa's Mom but she knew that her Dad needed to listen to all this. But then family Doctor called her Dad too. It was worst day for them all. Then they decided to take her to psychiatrist. Lisa's Dad"Running after that boy was totally wrong decision." Lisa's Mom " I thought so at beginning but then he looked so promising. " Ankush " I kept telling you all. But you never understand. Lisa is nice girl. Let her decide her future. She is not burden for us. I will stay with her for my entire life. Don't force marriage on her like that." Lisa's Dad " You are saying this now. But when you will grow up then everything will change." " No it will not." Ankush " I am not like Satish who just think about himself and I will never become like that. I know what I am and I will not change. The girl will marry me has accept me too." Lisa's Dad " This way you will remain without marriage too." Ankush " So what? I want to live my life. If I don't marry, I will not stop breathing. I can enjoy my life in my way. I might miss few things but still I will not spoil life of my sister for it. I will not remain happy if I did. I want you to take her to psychiatrist. Are you going to do that?" Lisa's Mom " I have number of psychiatrist." Lisa's Dad nodded. Then they took appointment. When Lisa woke up, she was not normal. She was not ready to eat anything. She just kept looking at some far away thing which was not existed. Lisa's Mom " I never thought things would turn this way. I never took matter with that seriousness. " Lisa's Dad was nervous too. Lisa's Dad " She is not eating still." Ankush " Dad nothing will change until we don't take her to psychiatrist." " But how could we take her in this condition." "We can. Mom will get her ready. We act as if she had fever." They nodded. They got ready. Lisa was just obeying Mom's orders. She was not moving with her thoughts at all. She looked like a frozen doll. Her eyes were searching in far away places. They tried their best to avoid any person from society. Finally they reached to psychiatrist. They waited. When they went inside, Lisa didn't talk at all. But Psychiatrist kept asking question to her parents. Psychiatrist " You did everything in wrong way for your daughter. Whole time you want her to marry of some rich boy. Just money is not enough even love is important in life. Due to your unnecessary pressure she landed in worst depression. You need to give her time. Now let me handle it." He started explaining them all. Ankush took breathe of relief. First time since entry of that Satish he relieved. He knew that Satish was going to destroy his sister's life and he knew that this psychiatrist was going to cure sister. He smiled happily with hope that everything was finally going to become alright in his family again.
The End
