Imagination of mind
Satish began to relax. He knew that it was normal day. He started to calm himself. He needed to relax and enjoy himself. His life was good. He knew that he was feeling upset due to that rainy weather. He didn't understand why did it upset him. Then he felt that it might be happening since his grandmother died on rainy day just like this. He didn't understand why he kept feeling so upset even now. He needed to get over it. It was old incidence. He supposed to get over her death. He started to think about his grandmother again. She was so nice. His Mom supposed to love him. But she never did it as she should. Her Mom always loved his elder brother Kunal. Everything was just for Kunal and Kunal always enjoyed having entire world around him. He always kept doing thing to gain attention. Kunal did everything. He participated in every activity of school and college. Mom kept running around for him. Satish felt that he needed to be smart like him too. He tried to act like him. But Kunal managed to get it all. Kunal was so intelligent. No Satish didn't feel he was intelligent. Kunal was good thief. All those ideas which Kunal used normally came from other people. He always managed to talk sweetly and then he started to steal their ideas. Satish didn't like it. Satish never acted this way. He knew that stealing things from innocent people was not right. Satish could never did it. But Mom never understood. So Satish stole one day idea of his friend. His friend was not truly interested to developing plan based on it so his friend didn't clearly complaint. He managed to get some success. But he was so shocked when Mom taunted. Mom " You manage to get success but due to idea. I know sometimes you need to take them. But you need to create your original too." He was so confused. Kunal was permitted to steal ideas easily. He wanted to ask but then he stopped himself. He knew that he was just wasting his time. His Mom never appreciated him. He just nodded. Satish went to his grandmother and cried. He even asked his Grandma on that day. " Grandma why did Mom behave like that with me? Am I step son?" His Grandma took him in arms and said " No you are not." She tried to calm him but it was not working. He was so upset. His Mom didn't care for him. He didn't understand his mistake. He never saw his Dad. His Dad was separated before his birth. Dad kept sending money but he never saw him. He just heard about him from Mom who hated him. One day Mom was drinking with her friend. Mom always invited her friends in home. Of course all were ladies of respected families. They were expected to bring gossips and play cards. They didn't suppose to waste money so they used fake money. They enjoyed game without wasting money. One day her friend came. Mom called him. He went out excitedly. He knew that gift was waiting for him. He went out happily and his dream became true immediately. This Auntie was so kind. She gave him big expensive watch. He was so happy. At beginning Mom objected. But he knew that it was drama which took place every time. Finally he would get his gift. He was so happy. He began to watch that wonderful watch. It was so nice. It had enchanting design. That created so nice impact. He felt like super hero of that movie. It had that special strength. He wanted to feel like someone special. He was on top of world. He began to live in new life. He started to see that world which he saw in theatre. He began to see himself as one character. He started to have those powers in him. He knew that watch had them inside. He wanted to see watch which had different looks. He had diamonds of different colours. He started to see appeal that it had created wonderful touch. He wanted to purchase watch for days. His Mom never gave it. He knew that she had money but she kept saving it for fancy clothes. She didn't purchase just for her. She purchased clothes for every one. She was wasting money on them. But she felt that she was giving status to them. He didn't want them. He took that watch and turned to go in room when this Auntie spoke " I saw him!" Her word "him" had some special impact. He decided to hear conversation. But he knew that Mom wouldn't let him sit with them. They supposed to drink and play cards while he supposed to stay locked in his room. He could enjoy TV or computer but they spoke so loudly that he couldn't able to do anything. He needed to use earphones if he wanted to hear anything. He wanted to feel relaxed but he knew that he couldn't if he didn't hear all. He slowly turned towards room. He could see from corner of his eye that his Mom was telling her friend to not discuss. He knew that he needed to pretend that he was inside room. He went in room and closed door. Kunal was luckily not there. He hated that he needed to share his room with his brother. Kunal was so irritating. He kept throwing things around while he appreciated cleanliness. He kept trying to keep room clean. He locked room. He knew that when Mom heard sound of door locking then she start to talk immediately. After that she didn't notice sound of door opening. She became so busy in chatting that she forgot entire world. Mom did same thing when he came out, he heard her. Mom " So you saw him!" " Yes. He had new barbie doll with him." They both started laughing. He was so shocked. He didn't understand why did Mom felt that it was funny. Mom " That new model didn't know about his trouble!!" " Yes. It will take just few days and he will start talking about his favourite friend of childhood. His dream to reach to Mars. Then he even start to talking building hotel on it." " But when he told about it all seemed so scientific. I felt that it was possible. He could create that world before your eyes. I still remember how did I felt so sure that I can reach to Mars one day. He explained me in scientific way." His Mom shivered then she took drink from her glass and started laughing. Then both friends kept laughing for long time. He wanted to know more but they didn't discuss. They just changed their subject and started to talk about different thing.
Satish wanted to know more about his father but still he didn't know much. He was going in hostel today. He was scared. But still no one was with him. He was feeling happy about it. He didn't want anyone. Then suddenly Kunal entered. Kunal smiled and said " Did you met our new neighbour?" He didn't. In fact he was not that much interested. He was more interested in planning about hostel. He was so tense. He didn't know anything about his roommate. He was planned to chat with him. But it didn't helped much. His roommate chatted with Satish in limited words. It was clear. Satish couldn't guess his nature by these chats. He could just tell his choices. Some were common and some were totally different. Satish was tense. He was packing and it was already raining. " Kunal Bhai I am getting late. Let me pack or I will forget something." "Satish she is so beautiful like angel." Satish smiled and decided to ignore. Clearly finally Kunal was in love with some girl. Satish was happy to stay out of this picture. Satish " Kunal Bhai you like her then you must go after her why did I need to see her?" Kunal smiled and he went out. Satish was so confused. He didn't understand Kunal at all. But he just packed bags. He went towards Taxi. He started putting bags. On that point he turned behind. He didn't want to actually see but he got curious. He turned back and he saw. Kunal was talking to someone. But he didn't see anyone. He felt so confused. He decided that he might just go there and watch. He was about to go near but Taxi driver called him " Sir let's go. We are getting late." Satish nodded and went away. He still didn't understand why he didn't able to see that girl? He didn't see anyone. But he was getting late so he began to turn back. On that point he heard Kunal telling. " This is my brother." He once again turned back. He saw no one. He sat in Taxi. He was tense during entire journey. He didn't understand what would be his life in hostel. He was so scared. Then he reached there. In one day he sensed that his life was nothing but boring everyday journey. He needed to study on each day. He needed to manage clothes too. He needed to reach in canteen on time. He was scared of harassment. But nothing like that happened. Actually no one was interested in him. They all just wanted to keep stay in their world. He was not important to them. He kept moving ahead. It was hard even to think. His days were running fast until he didn't receive that call. One day suddenly his mobile rang. He watched number. It was unknown. They were permitted to use mobile in hostel. He was happy that his mobile didn't rang when he was in college. He totally forgot to switch it off. Then he took call. It was strange voice of some unknown woman. That woman " Who are you?" " I didn't call you. You called me so you supposed to know it." That woman didn't speak for sometime then he heard deep breathing as if someone was controlling emotions. " Do you know person named Kunal?" " Yes! That is my brother's name!!" Suddenly that woman started screaming on him. " Why did your brother harassing me? I never had any argument with you or him?" Satish was so confused. He took deep breath and asked " What did he do?" " He kept coming in my house and keep talking to empty chair or wall. I don't understand it." Satish was so shocked. Kunal was perfect person but he didn't seem so much perfect. It was so irritating. Then he felt that this lady was harassing him. He decided to ignore that prank. He just disconnected call. He didn't understand why did anyone harass him like that. He went back to his studies. He once again started his normal routine. For few days all was perfect. Then one day once again same lady called him. She was more angry this time. " Tell Kunal to stop it. Or I will call Cops!" " Madam who are you? Is this idea of Kunal to play some prank on me?!" He began to laugh slowly. He understood all. Kunal was trying to scare him. " Very funny. Are you that friend of Kunal who came in our neighborhood?" " Yes I stay in your neighborhood but I am not your friend?! I want you to inform your Mom to tell stop your brother to stop coming in my house." Satish was confused. But he decided that he could do that. " Fine. I will call Mom." Satish immediately called his Mom. He explained entire incidence to her. Mom " Actually Kunal wanted to marry her daughter and Mom is creating issue. Kunal was telling that she wanted some more rich son-in-law. I can't force but I tell him." Satish felt relieved. For sometime everything seemed fine. Satish completed his one term. He returned home for few days since he got vacation. He was excited to see his house. His house was looking so wonderful. It was bringing back all old memories. He kept looking towards it for long time. Then suddenly he noticed a elderly woman looking down towards him from next door flat. She was giving him angry look. She immediately closed window. She was so upset. He didn't understand who was this lady. He came inside house. His Mom smiled and said " Hello." Then she went back to her work. He knew that she had busy schedule but still he expected better welcome. But he decided to ignore it. He started unpacking when Kunal came in his room. Kunal " I talked with her. She told me that her mother didn't call you. She said that she convinced her. Why did you lie?" He was shocked. Satish " She called me. I have her number in call records." Satish started searching it. But it was hard to find since it was old record. Then suddenly Mom appeared. She patted on his cheek and pulled Kunal out of room. They discussed for long time. He was so confused. He didn't understand what was their discussion. He kept feeling nervous. He wanted to return to hostel. Suddenly he began to feel coming back for vacation was mistake. He began to feel that they were trapping him. He was feeling so upset. But he knew that he didn't have much option. Then he took deep breath and calmed himself. He told himself that his Mom didn't harm him. He began to unpack clothes.
Mom took Kunal in other room. Mom " Kunal listen to me. It is not his mistake!" " He is lying Mom?! It is wrong." Mom tried to control her tears and said " It is not his mistake. Your Dad have that problem." " Problem?!" " He use to imagine things. Mental trouble!" Kunal felt so confused. Mom " He had schizophrenia." Kunal shivered. Kunal " So Satish was talking to nonexisted woman?!!" " Yes. He might be." Kunal was so happy. He wanted to control his feelings but he couldn't. He wanted Satish to be weak and useless. It would make him strong. He was so happy. Then suddenly his face became sad. This had another angle that he might get mad like him one day too. " Mom it happen to all kids." Mom smiled " No..no not all. Not one like you. You are special." Mom smiled. Kunal felt that he was not going to get sick. He smiled. Then Mom began to discuss about Satish. " We need to take appointment of psychiatrist." Kunal " But first we need to convince him. " Mom nodded. They went in Satish's room. Satish managed to unpack his bag by then. He turned around when he saw them. Mom came near him and told him to sit. Mom "Satish I feel you are imagining those calls." He looked confused. He couldn't believe this. " But Mom I heard them...I mean her voice was clear. " Mom patted on his back which suggested same thing would happen. It might be upsetting but he needed to accept it. He smiled and decided to accept it. He felt so frustrated. He knew that she should take him to doctor of mad people. He wanted to object but he knew that whenever he saw rainy weather something managed to upset him. He started to remember death of grandma. It was not normal. He needed to accept it. He needed to go to psychiatrist. He didn't heard Mom's word but he was missing his grandma so much that he needed help. He agreed. " Mom take appointment of next week I will come on Saturday and Sunday." Mom smiled and nodded. She was so happy that he agreed. Kunal was so happy. Once again Kunal went in balcony. He wanted to see her. He was so shocked when he saw her down in garden. He began to observe her closely. She was so beautiful. He knew that she always loved him. He decided that he needed to talk with her Mom again. He went to mirror. He stood before mirror. He checked himself. He was looking so great. He decided that he might go out. He went down. But he saw that she was going inside her house. So he entered in it. Suddenly her Mom came out. Her Mom was not happy. He knew that it was due to Satish. He did something in his madness. " I came to apologise." She said " All right. Just leave. I don't want you to come again." Kunal was so confused. " I want to marry your daughter!" That woman looked towards him with shock. " Daughter? My daughter is in abroad." He was so confused. His dream girl daughter was sitting on sofa. She was laughing so sweetly. He pointed. " I want to marry with her." " Who?" That woman looked in direction of his dream girl. She didn't seem to observe her. She turned towards him. " If you want take her with you, but don't irritate me." Kunal smiled and nodded. She stood up. She began to go in her room. He tried to hold her hand but she went ahead. When he tried to go inside that lady stopped him. " I told you. Take her with you but don't enter in my house." " But she is not coming with me!" " Then she didn't want you." Kunal was so upset. He went back. He felt so sad. Satish was in room too. He was crying too. Their Mom came on that point. Mom " Satish get ready. I took early appointment from psychiatrist. We need to reach there in hour." Satish shivered. He was so scared. But he knew that he didn't have much option. He watched himself in mirror. He was looking okay. He nodded and said " Let's go." Kunal wanted to discuss but he didn't. He knew that it was not right moment. He just shifted his attention to Satish. " Don't worry. You will be fine." Satish nodded went away. Then Kunal started crying. He needed her. On that point he heard her voice again. He didn't understand from where. He soon sensed that it was from balcony. He ran towards it. He looked out. He didn't see her anywhere. He looked down but he was on fifth floor. He couldn't hear voice from ground. But he heard it once again. He started to search. Then he noticed. She was in sky. She was floating. She was laughing on him. He couldn't believe on his eyes. She couldn't be floating. She started coming towards him. He ran inside and he immediately closed window. She was laughing loudly. She was singing songs. He shivered. He couldn't believe it. She was not human. She was something supernatural. He began to sense that reason behind rejection of his proposal. She started talking to him from outside. " Come on! You love me. Don't you?" He didn't answer. He heard somewhere in you answer such a creature you invite them in your house. " Come on. You want to marry me. Our children can fly too like me. I want babies. So that.." She started talking horrible things. He began to shiver. He wanted some help. He didn't understand what did he supposed to do. Then he began to search for something related to God. He finally found a locket. He wore it and he started praying. He knew that he saw a supernatural power. She was before him. She was floating in air. He could see her shadow on glass. Soon she began to push her way inside. He went in bedroom. He ran under bed. He closed his eyes and kept chanting. He knew that she was going to come inside soon. She was trying to break window.
Satish came in clinic with Mom. He didn't complaint. He just kept waiting for number. Finally it came. He went inside. His Mom explained all. Psychiatrist kept nodding then he stopped. Psychiatrist " Let me decide if he had problem!" Mom nodded. Then Psychiatrist began to ask questions he answered. Psychiatrist asked for number of that neighborhood lady. He needed to search. Finally he found and gave it. Mom didn't like idea of calling her. But psychiatrist insisted. That lady talked for long time. Then finally she disconnected all. Psychiatrist " That lady was truly calling. Your other son Kunal had problem. She was telling me. Few minutes ago she even heard screams. She was telling that he wanted to marry her daughter which didn't exist. She had one daughter but he never met her. He kept talking to chair and walls. He kept laughing in her flat." Psychiatrist called nurse and told Mom to tell her address. They immediately reached home. Kunal didn't open door. Finally Mom opened it. When they went inside, they found Kunal under bed. He was not ready to come out. Finally they needed to remove entire bed. Then Psychiatrist chatted with him. Finally Psychiatrist decided to keep him in hospital for few days. Mom agreed to all. When finally Kunal went away, Psychiatrist turned to Satish and said " Don't worry you are fine. Feeling sad for death of loved one for entire life is normal thing. You are emotional. If you feel depress you can always call me." Psychiatrist gave card Satish took it. Mom was still packing for Kunal. Psychiatrist " I think you must go to hostel soon. Your Mom will be busy with Kunal." He nodded. When Satish suggested it, Mom immediately agreed. Mom just wanted to think about Kunal. He packed and left home. He sensed one thing that he must avoid home. He was not that much welcomed. He booked one Taxi and went back to hostel.
The End
