Adventure story. 671. Life without hard work

                            Life without hard work 

Pradip was looking towards his house. It was so small. He knew that he never lived in big house but still he was hoping to get one. He just wanted to get some money out of someone. He knew that he needed to find some rich girl. But it was hard. He worked hard to impress girls but he never managed much. Girls didn’t like him. They might talk sweetly with him for sometime but when it came to giving serious commitment he knew that girl didn’t admire him. He wanted different sort of future so for that purpose he was trying so hard to impress rich girls. He knew that tomorrow he was going to some party. He needed to get ready for it. He went towards his cupboard. He was full of expensive stuff. He didn’t purchase it but he got it from his Uncle. His Uncle was rich. His Uncle used to give him stuff which his Uncle didn’t needed. He smiled happily. Pradip was so happy that he could managed to get expensive stuff. He touched those clothes & laughed. It was easy to fool people while using it. He was so happy. He selected most expensive one for party. On that point his mobile rang. His colleague was calling him. He sensed that he needed to go in office. He hated working in office but he needed to. If he stopped earning his salary then his parents surely began to create issue. He didn’t want his parents to throw him out of house. He needed to stay in house with respect. He took call. “ Boss is waiting for you when you bring that file.” “ I am coming.” He didn’t want to do work but he didn’t have much option so he decided to do it. He knew that now he needed to go in office. He got ready. Then he went on bus stop. He waited for bus which was empty. Then he sat in bus peacefully. Finally he reached to office. He entered in it. He went to his chair & started to do work. He needed to complete his file. He was late but he didn’t mind. He was just not interested in impressing his Boss. He just needed to do his job. He completed & went in cabin with his file. Boss observed him & immediately called secretary. When secretary came inside Boss said “ Pradip completed his work so you know very well spell check is needed. He never did it properly.” Secretary gave frustrating look but Pradip began to smile. Pradip “ Boss computer have spell check!” “ But you select even wrong word out of it.” Pradip smiled. He didn’t care. He began to target Boss on other issues. His arrogance was too much for his Boss but Boss couldn’t fire him without cause. It was so frustrating for Boss. Boss was feeling so nervous & negative. Pradip was someone who could give depression to all. He didn’t have any positivity in his attitude. He kept giving negative atmosphere to office. His Boss wanted to throw Pradip out of office. But Boss didn’t have enough excuse. Boss took floppy from Pradip & gave another task. Pradip nodded & went away. Boss said “ I don’t understand why I kept this man?” Secretary “ That was your big mistake. I never saw man who is useless than him.” Pradip began to feel so sad when he started to work. Pradip was working hard for long time to get money & reputation but not in this office. He managed to join one group where they discussed different topics. They always discussed how could they manipulate people. He wanted to learn all. He wanted to earn money. He needed to learn how to manipulate people for it. It was important. He knew that group would taught him to do it. He began to work. He needed to go there as soon as possible. It was very important for him. He was trying hard to make his group successful. He worked half heartedly for office work & finally he managed to find way to finish it. He knew that it was half wrong & half right but he didn’t care. He wanted it to be completed. When he finished it, he immediately gave it to Secretary who took it with grudging look. Secretary “ You get salary from office but you don’t care for office you just wanted to go to that group.” “ Come on! That group does lots of great things for community.” “ No. I feel it just show you shortcuts to become rich.” He smiled. It was true. They all just discussed how could they get power. It was important for him to get that power. He said “ I am trying so hard to get positivity in life but it wasn’t working until this group doesn’t appear.” He began to talk about his group. He continued for long time. He didn’t care when Secretary started to get frustrated. He was concerned just about himself. It was so frustrating. Finally Secretary said “ Boss will come. Let me complete work.” Pradip smiled & said “ You are so scared about Boss. On every step you tried hard to please Boss you need to get over it. You are not slave. You keep trying so hard. I feel pity for you.” Secretary was feeling so depressed. Pradip was targeting him for working hard. Secretary decided that he didn’t need to listen to Pradip. Secretary said “ I work hard for my money. For long time I am doing my job. I get increments which I deserve. I want to do actual work & get success through it. I don’t want to pretend.” On that point Boss came out. Pradip immediately began to pretend he was talking about work. But entire office knew that he was not. Pradip was feeling so upset. Pradip just returned to his chair. Pradip was sure that he was right. Pradip was having so much stress in his heart when they all called him lazy but now he was hero. He was feeling upset by everything. But after joining this group positivity entered in him. He did nothing. He just heard what they said & try to follow them. They told him that he was special & he needed to just use other’s skills. He liked this idea. He was trying his best to do everything in right way. He knew that he was best. He was totally sure that he would get right sort of person very soon. He was trying hard for such a long time. He needed a life partner who could manage to make him rich & successful. He was so obsessed. That day he was planning to discuss all with his group. He decided that he needed to manage all. He was working so hard to get right sort of people on that day he decided to discuss it with group. He needed life partner & his group would give him one.

         Pradip stayed for some hours in office. He kept thinking about just group. His Group was his favourite. He kept feeling so nervous about all. He was so positive regarding his future. But sadly his future was not so good. He knew that he always managed to stay away from big successes. It was sad for him. When office hour was finished, he immediately got out. He wanted to go to meet that group. He immediately took Cab. Then he told about destination. When he came out of Cab, he noticed that girl for first time. She was so beautiful. She was watering plants of that bungalow. He kept looking towards her. He knew that she was maid. Her dressing style was telling it. He smiled towards her. He knew that he would never marry her but he could smile sometime & he could enjoy life. He wasn’t planning to look towards beauty or any other things when it came to marriage. He needed to find just contact which would make him confident regarding his future contacts. He wanted certainty in his life. But he could smile towards maid. That girl gave him angry look. There was fire in her eyes. It was shocking. She couldn’t reject him. He couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t break that basic rule which always told to all that they needed to follow line of status. He couldn’t believe a maid rejected his smile. He went inside. He began to talk with his friends. But today he couldn’t concentrate on what group was telling to him. It was so shocking. He loved those discussions. That girl kept coming in his mind. He wanted to talk with her. When he came out he looked towards that balcony again. She was not there. He slowly went to watchman & asked “ Who was watering plant today?” “ Why?” He already found one fake excuse. “ When I was walking water fall on my head?” Now this managed to nervous watchman. He immediately said “  Sorry Sir. I will tell them. It must be that temporary tenant.” “ I feel it was maid.” “ Yes Sir but that tenant is staying for just weekend so maid will be going away too. I don’t understand why she needed to water those dead plants. Those plants will not survive in any case. From tomorrow no one will water them.” “ What? You will permit them to die like that?” “ What option do we have?That tenant was temporary & now flat will be closed again. No one can reach to that Balcony.” He looked towards that Balcony in odd way. He understood one thing that he wanted to water those plants. First time he felt concerned about something else other than him. He didn’t like it. He wanted to just think about himself. He was working so hard to achieve some success. He went home. He began to think how much he wanted to work hard but he couldn’t. He just needed to manage with using people. He saw many times whenever people did hard work they failed. He remembered his grandfather. His Grandpa used to work so hard. He saw Grandpa returning from work at midnight. It was stressful for Grandpa. He remembered very well how did his Grandpa used to come in midnight. Then he used to go for shower & then he immediately started dinner but he was mostly sleeping when he was in middle of dinner. He couldn’t keep his eyes open. He was too exhausted by all. It was upsetting for Pradip to watch his Grandpa like that & his father used to say that all this was happening since his Grandpa worked too hard instead of doing tricks which could give him earnings. His Dad used to put hand on his little shoulders & say “ This happened due to honest work. If you keep working honestly for long time your future will be similar too. You must work in limit & must learn few wrong ways to use skills of other people otherwise you will not get any thing. You will become like your Grandpa.” Even now Pradip felt as if those words were repeated in his mind. He wanted to keep remembering them in his thoughts. It was so painful. But still it was important. He didn’t want to work hard. He told it to himself again & again. He wanted to avoid working & he was doing it. He felt so upset by it. He told himself that he didn’t need to water those plants. He went back home. He sat on computer. He kept thinking about his Dad. His parents would soon come back from their visit to Uncle. He didn’t understand what he supposed to say about his Dad. His Dad supposed to give respect to him since he followed his advice but his Dad wasn’t happy since he couldn’t managed to find shortcut. It was so wrong that now he began to wish to work like that Secretary of his office. He knew that working was crime. He didn’t need to work. He started computer when his door bell rang. His parents came. His Dad immediately started “ So you are working again? Now you will soon start working until midnight like your Grandpa. I am telling you. This boy is useless.” His Mom gave angry look to his Dad but Pradip knew that in heart his Mom agreed with his Dad. His Mom wanted him to work. His Mom didn’t feel that way. According to her his Grandpa worked hard & lived one useful life while his Dad was just burden on world. His Dad earned nothing except whatever his Dad earned by remaining stuck one job which his Dad got due to his Grandpa. His Mom never wanted him to become like his Dad. His Dad was useless creature as per his Mom. He was stuck between two opinions. He didn’t understand what was right choice. He should go to ahead with his same route or change it. His Dad kept taunting him for working hard unnecessarily while his Boss & his office people said that it was useless. It was so stressful. He wanted to work hard to move ahead. It was so upsetting. He couldn’t do like that. He needed to take rest & still get rich his Dad told it. He stopped working immediately. He went to sleep but his night wasn’t pleasant. It was full of pain & hurt. He wanted to feel positive but his heart didn’t want to. In his dreams he kept trying to go for work but he couldn’t. He just couldn’t manage to reach that point. He suddenly woke up due to fear. It was so stressful. He didn’t understand what was wrong with him. He didn’t understand why he couldn’t sleep peacefully.

         Pradip was feeling so nervous. He woke up next morning feeling uneasy. It was clear that he was not feeling normal. He didn’t understand what he supposed to feel. He didn’t need to get upset. He was going in office & he was planning to act normal. He wouldn’t work. He went in office & suddenly his dream became alive. He didn’t understand what was happening. He supposed to work but he couldn’t. His hands were not moving. He was trying so hard to move them. He began to try harder. He didn’t sense that he was making noises. He was just obsessed with using his hands. He began to get so restless. It was so stressful. Then he went he sensed touch of his shoulder his hands moved. He looked towards his hands with shock. It was so upsetting. He didn’t understand what happened to him. He was totally normal again. Then he sensed Boss’s Secretary kept hand on his shoulder & now asking “ What happened?” He smiled & said “ Nothing.” “ You were trying to pull something & we don’t see anything.” He looked towards his hands. Then he said “ Ohh! It’s nothing.” He began to look around. He wanted to feel positive about all but he couldn’t. He didn’t understand what he supposed to do. He knew that he could pretend. He began to laugh loudly. He said “ It’s alright. We can relax & feel happy.” All office staff was looking towards him in odd way. It was so odd. They were not there to make him relaxed. He didn’t understand that. Pradip was explaining them now relaxed he was. Finally one person said “ This isn’t beach to relax. It’s place to work so we were expecting you were working not relaxing.” Pradip became more nervous. He looked towards his hand. His hand was not moving. It was steady on that point. He was working so hard to get that hand moving but now his hand was totally normal. He didn’t feel that it could be normal that way so soon. He didn’t say anything. He just sat down & began to work. He was getting so restless. He wanted to feel normal but he was feeling so hurt. He began to think about options he had. He didn’t see any. On that day for first time he felt that something was wrong with him. He saw all. They were working. They wanted to get promotions & salary but with work. He knew that he was just burden for Boss. Boss wanted to fire him but it wasn’t happening since he was working for long time. He sensed for first time that he was unwanted. He wanted to prove himself rich but it wasn’t happening. He wasn’t becoming rich & he was becoming useless. He didn’t understand what was happening in his life & who would help himself to get over this. He began to type on computer. This time his hand worked. But he wasn’t sure that it would work every time. He suddenly began to feel that he needed to go to Doctor but he felt so scared. His father might started to taunt him. He didn’t want to appear sick. But he kept watching his hand. He was so tense. He started to work. He completed it perfectly this time. He didn’t diverted his attention. Finally he sensed that office hour was over. Then he went to his group meeting. But it was so frustrating when he didn’t feel peaceful in mind even after discussion during meeting. His mind was no longer happy. He began to feel confused & stressed. He didn’t feel positive at all. It was so frustrating. He knew that in night he might once again dream in odd way about trying to work for hours. He knew that his life was cursed in odd way. He couldn’t work but he wanted to work. It was so upsetting. He was trying so hard to get things as per his choice but it wasn’t happening. He was feeling so negative. He decided that he needed Doctor. He went out after group discussion. He once again looked towards Balcony. Flat was closed. He could see those plants dying. He felt so sad. He knew that he needed to water them. He went to security guard & said “ Will you help me to water those plants?” Security Guard looked towards him with shock. He once again asked “ Will you open door of flat to water those plants?” Security Guard “ Are you out of your mind? You are not even member of Society how can you go inside flat?” “ I can’t permit them to die.” He couldn’t stop himself from entering but Security Guard screamed loudly “ Stop or I will call Cops.” He didn’t have option so he went home. In his home whole time he was thinking just about his hand & those plants. He didn’t understand why he began to feel by watering those plants he could be cured. He went to that Society Guard next day & told “ I want to rent that flat. Will you give me number of owner?” Security Guard was about to tell him to go away. When suddenly one person came & said “ I will give you.” He got number & in few seconds he managed to rent that flat. He was so happy. Now he could water those plants. He wanted to water them. He went back to his parent’s home. He began to pack bags his Dad was so shocked when he told that he was shifting. It was shocking. He understood one thing that his Dad was expecting him to stay there for whole life while threatening to send him out. He packed all & shifted. He kept watching those plants for hours. He managed to skip his office too. Finally one day he decided that he needed to go out but he couldn’t since he was scared. He was so upset. Then he decided to call Doctor. His Dad was no longer there to taunt. He told Doctor all & on mobile Doctor advised him one Psychiatrist. He immediately called Psychiatrist. He was desperate. He was receiving calls from office. He needed to go in office. When he reached to Psychiatrist he told all. Psychiatrist explained him step by step that his Dad was cause of issue. He needed to work but his Dad objected & soon his mind began to feel he liked to work since he needed job satisfaction. His treatment began. He also started going in office. He began to work nicely. Since he was not staying with his Dad it helped him a lot to get over his problems. Slowly his issue was over. His Boss was most happy when he started working & his Dad were most upset. But he didn’t care. He had flat & plants. Slowly he began to discuss purchase of flat. Bank gave him loan & he purchased it. Now he was hard working like his Grandpa & he loved it. Finally he understood why his Grandpa used to work like that since his Grandpa wanted to work & earn like him & it was right thing. After sometime his treatment was stopped & his life began in normal way.
