Adventure story. 637. Unpleasant life partner

                              Unpleasant life partner 

Charu was checking different appointments she had given. Her life had become too busy since she started helping other partner. She was not getting much money but she was getting lots of fame. She liked this work. She smiled happily at prospect of enjoying life. Charu loved her work so much that she didn’t want any life except her work. Actually she was one artist. She kept creating different pieces of clay. She worked so hard to sell them. But it was not happening. She was feeling so sad about it. But still she could at least show them to people in this shop. She felt after sometime she just managed to become sales girl of her partner which was true too. Her Partner Rakhi was missing once again. She kept all her statues carefully. Now Rakhi had appointments for her designer dresses which she supposed to show. But Rakhi was missing so Charu would take over. Charu loved to show Rakhi’s dresses. Charu liked this task. Charu couldn’t able to sell her things so she appreciated it when people bought Rakhi’s dresses. She enjoyed selling them. She was preparing for all when suddenly she heard knock on door. She went out to open it excitedly. She knew that she had not even any appointment for Rakhi’s design but sometimes customer just appeared suddenly. She loved those occasions from her heart. She needed to show them clothes. Many times they complained but she even loved to handle it. It was her job. She immediately opened door. She saw one man. She asked “ What did you want?” He looked around. “ I wanted to meet Rakhi?” “ Ohh..she is little late. I am her partner you can tell me.” That man smiled. “ Great! Actually I wanted to talk about selling shop.” “ Selling shop?” She was so shocked. Rakhi never discussed this with her. She said “ Actually we have not planned it..” “ Now you! Rakhi Madam planned it. She can’t work now so she said she will sell this. You are not earning out of it anyway so you don’t mind. What is your investment in this shop?” She didn’t say anything since her investment was not existed. Rakhi just permitted her. “ I don’t have much right on shop. But since Rakhi didn’t say anything..” that man smiled. “ I know you feel I am some fraud who came to fool you. Don’t worry I will not ask number of your PAN Card or Aadhar Card.” He laughed at this joke. She wanted to but she couldn’t. She felt so sad & nervous. She said “ Will you give me your card? I will show it to Rakhi.” That man began to wander in shop & said “ It’s nice place you have perfect place for me. I feel I will pay suitable sum. But don’t expect too much. This is in old building. I looked around. You have parking but just for own cars. My customers will ask for parking too. I run real business which earn money.” He said this while showing his diamond ring in middle finger. She felt so nervous. She knew that this fellow was rich & he already started dominating her. She said slowly “ I need to first discuss with Rakhi about selling this place. She didn’t tell anything to me. If you give me number I will inform her.” He gave her one disapproving look. He wanted to her to treat him like owner of that place. But she didn’t. He looked around. He said slowly “ Look at condition of this shop.” He pointed towards painting which was damaged. She said with patience “ We need to do painting.” “ Not just painting! You need to do all. Why don’t you just sell this?” She just said “ I don’t want to & Rakhi didn’t discussed anything too.” Then that man nodded & went away. She immediately got nervous. It was so frustrating. Charu knew that she needed to discuss all with Rakhi. But suddenly her head started to pain. It was paining in such a strange way. She didn’t understand it’s cause. She was so upset by entire incidence. Now she wanted to discuss all with Rakhi but her head was paining on that point she looked towards clock & she sensed that time for appointment of customer came. It was not her customer. It was Rakhi’s customer but she didn’t feel that way. She welcomed with smile & soon she got busy with showing dresses. She showed best one at reasonable price. She was so excited when customer selected two & ordered them. She took order & fixed date of delivery. After that she called tailor & told him that she was sending design. It was totally common for her. She always managed all. She knew that Rakhi get money but still she did it. She was sitting without spending anything in that shop in return of this help. She must do it. She was so happy when she sold things. But today she was confused. It seemed as if Rakhi was deciding something different whole time. She didn’t understand why she didn’t sense it. Rakhi was not coming in shop. Rakhi was taking least interest in shop. She was one who was selling all products. Charu was looking around in shop. Charu started to arranging different dresses for long time. Rakhi didn’t do it. Charu looked towards clay showpiece created by her. Charu placed them in line too. She arranged it properly. Charu felt so sad. She knew that these things were never going to be purchased. Only if she could have able to sell her goods. On that point Rakhi’s call came. “ Hello..” “ You called one man to purchase shop?” Charu worked hard to control anger. But Rakhi said carelessly “ Of course. I want to get rid of that shop. But that customer didn’t like it. He went away. It was clearly sad news…any way do you able to sell something.” “ I sold your two dresses.” “ Great! Keep doing it. If we keep getting customers like that I can manage some profit until I don’t able to sell that shop.” Charu didn’t say much. She just said “ I will go home soon.” “ Yes..yes you can do that. Just make sure all my appointments are done. Bye.” Then Rakhi disconnected call. Charu sensed that Rakhi considered her nothing but one slave working under her. Charu looked towards appointment book. She sensed that day was full. She suddenly didn’t want to go home early. She wanted to enjoy doing this in shop until she had chance. She once again arranged all & waited for her next client. For her it was her client only. She never felt that it was just Rakhi’s client.

       Rakhi’s boyfriend Sunil was so frustrated by her attitude. Rakhi never had time to settle down on one thing. She kept changing her moods daily. She was nice dress designer but she was not ready to plan one proper boutique & already trying to sell her shop. He felt so sad for poor Charu. Charu literally worked day & night without return in that shop while Rakhi never shared anything with her. It was clearly exploitation but Sunil knew that it was better to not talk in that matter. If he took Charu’s side immediately Rakhi would start blaming him for having attachments with her. Sunil loved Rakhi no doubt in his heart about it. But he didn’t like the way she was behaving. She was too cruel to others. It was not just about Charu. He began to sense sometimes. She didn’t care even for him or his family members. Charu was just beginning. He didn’t understand how could he escape from this mess. Sometimes he began to feel he might need to just break up. But Sunil knew that it was wrong. They discussed with all. They decided their engagement together last year. Soon they would do it. Sunil was not planning to harm it. He called Rakhi to discuss situation of her shop. But Rakhi started talking about dresses that she was going to wear on engagement. He was clearly not interested. He asked “ What about your shop? Did you told Charu?” She didn’t speak for long time then she said “ What I suppose to tell her? Come on! She didn’t earn anything out of it. That stupid girl is wasting her time. When I will sell that shop then she might find some useful work. Charu is getting so engaged in selling just my stuff. I am not paying her so she is becoming free labour.” After listening to her Sunil suddenly began to feel that she was right. Sunil said “ I just said make some compensation.” She laughed & said “ Don’t worry. Charu is cute like some puppy I always take good care of her.” Sunil felt so nervous by her this statement. Sunil was so nervous. He didn’t understand how does Charu react. But he was not related to Charu. He didn’t need to talk her or interfere. He just nodded. He knew that he was on mobile but he got so addicted to nodding her every statement that he started to do every time. His friend who was standing beside him in office saw & said slowly “ You are becoming so scared of that by your fear I can tell it’s call of your future wife.” His friend said this & started laughing. He shivered with fear. He didn’t want her to hear it. He knew results. But it was too late. Rakhi said angrily “ I don’t want to disturb you or your friend.” Rakhi disconnected call. Sunil knew that now he was doomed. He knew that now Rakhi would do something which would hurt all. Rakhi was too cruel. He just didn’t understand why did he fall in love with her. But on that time she was so nice. But she was changed & it was his mistake. He disconnected call & ran in her search. Rakhi was so angry. He joked about her with his friends! He couldn’t do that. She was so forgiving towards him. She still remembered what he did. He was out on that balcony. She kept remembering & breaking one thing after another. While Charu returned to her home. Her husband was not at home. She began to cook food. Her mother-in-law screamed angrily. “ Why you came so late? Now how could you manage to cook food before my son come? You don’t have any earning still you kept working there. Why don’t you work where you can get money?” She didn’t say anything. She knew that she didn’t have much hope of selling her products so it was meaningless to lie. She told her husband Tushar before marriage that she wanted to keep working in that shop. But Tushar was not expecting long hours of working still no earning. When Tushar saw it, he immediately reacted. He didn’t approve it. But he promised so he couldn’t stop her. But she knew that since she didn’t got pregnant it was okay after birth of child surely Tushar would want her to stop job. In fact he felt that Tushar wanted her to stop job now only. He was even suggesting some job of typist for her in some office but luckily that vacancy was full before she could apply. She was forced to join a job which she didn’t want. She knew from beginning she told that she didn’t have earning but they were expecting earning from her. Especially her mother-in-law was making it clear again & again. Her mother-in-law was talking in hall about need of earnings in house. Then her mother-in-law added. “ I was hoping at least she would feed my son on time & I was expecting a boy from her.” Her father-in-law stopped her mother-in-law. “ It’s their personal matter & if she didn’t able to give birth to baby let Tushar decide what should be done with her.” She was so shocked to here this. Charu began to feel that this marriage was her big mistake. She didn’t see any positive out of it. She sometimes remembered Rakhi & Sunil. They were perfect couple. But she kept feeling again & again something went wrong with them. After that party! She remembered that she was in Balcony with Sunil. She was talking when suddenly Rakhi came. She didn’t understand what went wrong. She looked towards Rakhi with shock. Rakhi just told her “Charu go in room. Let me handle this.” She didn’t understand she just went in room. She waited there. Then after sometime her eyes started to feel heavy she slept in bed. Next day she came back home. She didn’t understand what happened. But after that Sunil never talked with her. Any way Tushar was her husband now. She was married to him for long time. She didn’t need to remember Sunil. But sometimes she felt Sunil was so much better. Charu told herself to concentrate on cooking instead of day dreaming. Sunil was impossible dream for her. Sunil was always in love with Rakhi. He never looked towards other girl. Charu began to cook carefully for Tushar & his family. She didn’t want to upset them. She knew that she needed to get pregnant soon otherwise there would be issue. She hoped that it would happen soon. She didn’t want more delay.

     Rakhi still remembered. Charu went towards Balcony to get some view. She was so concerned about her. So she went in Balcony. She was smiling & laughing. She was on top of the world. Her personal life was perfect & her professional life was excellent too. She knew that she was not paying Charu but she thought after some time she could do that. She was excited. She went in Balcony. She saw that Charu was not there but Sunil was. He was standing with his ex girlfriend. She observed them. She was upset but she knew that his ex girlfriend was mother of two kids so it was over. She told herself to just go ahead with smile. But on that point she saw his ex girlfriend was talking slowly. “ I don’t want my husband to know about us. We must not let it come out.” He nodded. Then his ex girlfriend gave him packet of money. He smiled towards it. His ex girlfriend said “ I will keep giving it every month like salary to you. But you must keep quiet never tell anyone about us.” He smiled sweetly & said “ Don’t worry. I will tell anything about your past.” Then that woman ran away. Rakhi managed to hide in corner but it was too late. That woman saw her. That woman screamed “ Who is she?” Sunil came there very fast then he said “ She is my future wife. You paid me that’s enough.” She didn’t understand what was that woman wanted to hide but she knew one thing that Sunil was blackmailing her. That woman gave angry look to her & went away. Sunil said “ I have some of her secrets. I use them to get money. This is very common sweetheart. Come let’s enjoy view from Balcony.” She felt so sick. She just ran away. She came down then she sensed that she forgot about Charu. She went back. Charu was in Balcony talking sweetly with Sunil. Clearly Charu was charmed by his elegance. She was so angry. Sunil was nothing but petty blackmailer. She wanted to tell it to all but he had so much money now a days. She went towards Charu & told her to come with her. After it Rakhi didn’t feel positive. She began to hate all. Rakhi didn’t want to earn any more. Rakhi didn’t able to sleep peacefully. She kept having nightmares. She tried to tell it to her parents, her brother & her friends. All just said one thing. “ He is not having any affair with his ex girlfriend now. So you don’t need worry..” in different ways they justified his action. It was very sad. She kept crying herself. She was getting so upset. She knew that it was his personal issue. But she was not certain. Now today his friends were taunting her. She was trying so hard to adjust with all. She was so upset. She wanted to cry loudly. She knew that it was not going to help. She didn’t understand why she couldn’t accept it. Sunil was not acting wrong. All did same way. Everyone was telling her same thing. She wanted to feel normal but she was not. She began to break things one by one. She was in middle of that fit when Sunil opened door with his keys & came inside. Sunil gave shocked look to entire room. He asked with shocking expressions “ What happened?.. I mean my friend said stupid things. But why did you need to pay attention to them?” “ I can’t tolerate them?” She screamed loudly. She suddenly began to feel some heaviness in her brain. She knew that she couldn’t tolerate anything..any more. Soon everything before her eyes began to vanish. Sunil managed to catch her in time & put her on bed. He immediately called Doctor. He was so stressed. Charu was working hard to please Tushar who was clearly not happy. Tushar slowly said “ I feel so frustrated by this. I know we need  kids.” She didn’t say anything. She was so tense. Tushar “ Can’t you just give me freedom?” She looked towards him with shock. Tushar “I I know I can manage to become father but you are not getting pregnant..” she didn’t say anything. She was so tense. She wanted to cry. She wanted to know how did he know. But she was so shocked. She didn’t say anything. Then she slowly said “ But I need some place to live.” She knew that she didn’t want to return to her parents. He smiled & said “ I will give you my flat..remember that one is out of town.” She remembered it very well. It was cheap one. But she didn’t want to go after medical tests. She was so scared that it would prove him just true. She said “ Fine.” He gave her keys. She sensed that in few seconds all was over. She wanted to cry but not before him. She took keys. She went in her room. She started packing. He said sweetly “ I will call mover & packers for you.” She needed to scream but she just said “ Thanks.” She began to remove all her things.” But then she remembered her jewellery. She asked “ My jewellery?” He immediately gave keys of bank locker. He said “ I will remove my name. You can add whichever you want.” She just nodded. She packed all. Step by step her entire identity was removed from that room & house. They didn’t want her if she couldn’t give them heir. She decided to just go away without fight. Then mover & packer came. Step by step she managed to pack all. Overnight she was shifted to new unknown flat. She could see her neighbours observing her slowly. She didn’t wanted to talk so she just closed door. She knew that she needed to call her family. But she was not interested. She wanted to built her life alone this time. She sat down after unpacking things. She began to cry loudly. In one day she lost her work & her husband. She didn’t understand what she supposed to do now. She was so stressed. She wanted suggestions now. She didn’t feel her family would think about her. They might want her to just grab money from Tushar. She knew that all was just about money. She slowly called Rakhi. Sunil took it. Sunil told her that Rakhi was sick. Sunil offered her some sum to take care of shop. Charu “ I will talk with Rakhi later about it.” Sunil agreed & disconnected. Soon Doctor came. Doctor checked & said “ She needed to shift in hospital otherwise she might have heart attack.” Doctor called ambulance. Sunil was so tense. Suddenly he began to feel he didn’t want to marry Rakhi. He decided to call her brother. He went back in his home. He didn’t wanted wife with weak heart. Rakhi was taken in hospital. Luckily it was just high Blood Pressure. She didn’t need treatment for heart attack. When she woke up, she sensed that Sunil was missing. She began to get upset. She began to ask about him. She started to get tense. She began to feel that Sunil was not going to come. Clearly he was no longer interested in her. She started crying. Her Blood pressure started to increase. Her family was trying so hard to console her but nothing was working. Finally they decided to introduce Psychiatrist. Psychiatrist told them to go out. Psychiatrist started to talk with her. Rakhi told all. Rakhi “ Now he left me.” “ So you didn’t wanted a blackmailer as husband & he left you. Isn’t it nice?” She suddenly sensed that he was right. She smiled. “ You can start you shop again. Sell your dresses. You are sick but your partner Charu can do it. Doesn’t she?” She nodded. “ Call her.” She nodded. She called Charu. Charu immediately asked about her. Rakhi told her that she was sick. Charu “ I called you but Sunil..” “ He left me since he didn’t want sick wife like me.” Charu started laughing. Rakhi was shocked but then Charu told her story. Rakhi laughed. Rakhi “ We both got wrong partners.” Charu “ Yes. In life they were wrong but in business we got right partners so let’s start on concentrate on it.” Rakhi agreed. Rakhi disconnected call. Rakhi felt positive but still she was upset. She was sad & suicidal. Psychiatrist said “ It doesn’t go so easily. Slowly by treatment it will go away. I will discuss with your physician & told you course of your next treatment.” Rakhi nodded. Then Rakhi started to feel sleepy. This time she didn’t try to stop that sleep. She slowly fall asleep with hope to start her life once again with new hope & old business partner Charu.
