Adventure story. 672. Priya's friend

                                    Priya's friend 

New sound of music started. It was creating pleasant & positive touch for mind. Priya was listening to it for sometime. It was so pleasant. She kept listening to every rhythm. She was feeling so happy with each rhythm. She was trying to calm her mind for long time. But her mind kept getting negative. She wanted to feel positive in her mind. She was feeling hopes. Her mind was so stressed out. She was thinking again & again about those negative incidence. She didn’t want to remember it but it kept coming. She knew that she needed to get over it .She knew that she was not part of that tragedy but still she felt as if she was. It was so odd that on every time whenever she saw some newspaper with sad news she began to relate it. She was feeling so nervous after watching one news after another. She didn’t want to do that but she couldn’t avoid it. Actually it was her job to take care of one elderly lady. She didn’t plan to do that in her life but  life didn’t always offer what person want. She wanted to feel peaceful. But she kept remembering about Tara. Tara was her best friend. They were always together as child. They shared all like sisters. She was so happy when she used to play with Tara. They used to go for shopping. Priya wasn’t from rich family. Tara was daughter of one cloth merchant. Tara’s family was rich but they have many children in family. Tara’s father was one of the heir from joint family. There were not so much wealth. They belonged to upper class. Still Tara had bad great chances to find rich husband who could take her to higher level in wealth. On each day Priya & Tara used to talk about their future & husband. They wanted nice husbands. They had plenty of dreams about it. One day Tara’s marriage was fixed. Her husband wasn’t much handsome but he was rich. Priya wasn’t feel look was essential but Priya felt that Tara’s husband should be pleasant person. When Priya was introduced Tara’s husband talked very sweetly. He kept admiring Tara so much. They began life with positive feeling. Priya was little bit sad to lose such good friend like Tara but she was happy for Tara. Priya was feeling so nervous. Priya began to think that she needed to find some way to replace Tara. Priya used her hobby of dancing as replacement. Priya kept practising for dance. She used to dance for hours. She could hear pleasant music & started to dance each step. Priya was watching very carefully every move of dance. Priya knew that her family didn’t permit her to dance before world & she didn’t dare to go against their wishes so she kept dancing inside her house for hours. Luckily her house was on ground floor so no one objected. She could dance for hours. Her parents didn’t like her dancing but inside house it was okay. No one was going to object. She knew that she could spend some money for dress up too. She began to get dressed up & started dancing. Then she slowly began to do videos. She didn’t want people to see her face so she started hiding it with some beautiful cloth which could hide her face. By hiding her face she sensed that she was looking more tempting & attractive. She was so happy. She began to do her videos with dance moves & started loading them on internet. She was doing each one  happily. She liked to load them. She was watching them for hours. She loved her performance. Soon people started to admire it too. She began to feel happy. It wasn’t giving earnings to her. Still she was happy. She was so upset when people taunted her. She supposed to earn money but through the way her parent’s suggest. She couldn’t dance. She tried hard to take interest in other things. But whenever she decided to do some work it went against her parent’s thinking. They wanted her to keep doing what they desired not what she wanted. She couldn’t properly able to settle in any profession. She kept loading her videos & enjoying herself while considering it as her career. She was so happy. But she knew that people around her didn’t appreciate her. She worked hard to please people but she couldn’t please them. Her heart started to get upset by that thought or desire to find happiness. She decided that she needed to follow her heart. One day she was dancing when her mobile rang. It was Tara. She felt so happy. She immediately took her call. Priya “ How are you Tara?” Tara’s voice sounded nervous. She said slowly “ Can we meet somewhere?” Priya generally didn’t go out but Tara was special. Priya “ Sure wherever you like.” Tara said “ I send car come to my home.” Priya agreed happily. Priya ran in room. She selected her best dress & got ready. She waited soon one car appeared. She looked towards it. She was so confused. She didn’t understand why Tara send empty car. She was hoping Tara to be inside it. Then she sensed that why did Tara travel so much instead driver would take her to Tara’s home. But when Driver stopped car before one cottage she shivered, she asked “ What happened?” “ Madam is waiting inside for you?” She couldn’t believe. “ This isn’t a house.” “ No it’s hotel Madam stay in it.” She was so shocked. She didn’t understand why Tara was waiting for her in hotel. She began to feel that Driver might be lying but still she needed to go inside. She could sit just in car with driver. She slowly nodded. Then she came out. She went towards cottage. She knocked. One woman opened door. She slowly told her that she wanted to meet Tara. That lady showed her sofa & said “ Let me ask Madam.” She nodded. Now she couldn’t meet her friend Tara without appointment. She didn’t understand why did Tara called her if Tara was too busy. But she didn’t want to show anger. She just smiled & sat down. Then she looked around. She liked that cottage. It was full of beautiful objects that made room look lovely. She felt that entire room was like some room in Palace or she thought that way should be Palace. She never went in Palace so she didn’t know how did they look. She waited with patience until she was not called inside. Finally she went inside. When she went inside she never thought she was going in crisis. Now she hated her decision. That moment took away her positivity totally. It was so upsetting.

     On that day Priya waited with patience for sometime. She still remembered it. She didn’t understand why she was waiting when she was called by Tara. If Tara didn’t have time why did she invited. It was so stressful for Priya. On that day she felt that Tara didn’t care for her. Priya felt so impressed by that beautiful cottage that she felt scared to go out. She didn’t want to insult Tara. In fact Priya always tried to control her anger. She knew that she could get angry quickly. She sat for sometime then finally she went inside. Tara was sitting in her chair. Tara was looking so beautiful. But still Priya didn’t like something about her. Priya felt that might be her jealousy. After all she had nothing & Tara had everything. She looked around. She saw one picture of one beautiful boy. Clearly he was Tara’s son. She was watching it when Tara spoke “ That is my son Rishi. He is so nice. I am lucky to have him.” Priya didn’t understand what she supposed to say. She wasn’t happy to about entire incidence. Still she just nodded. Then Tara pointed her towards table. “ Will you serve us those juice & pastries? You like pastries don’t you?” She nodded slowly. She immediately served juice & pastries. She began to drink & eat but Tara just kept playing with food like child. Priya didn’t understand what was going on. Priya asked “ What happened?” “ It’s my husband! I think he is having an affair.” Now Priya suddenly lost appetite. She didn’t understand these things. In past she used to handle all. But now she couldn’t. She was so frustrated even on that point she wanted to just go back to her house. But she couldn’t. Tara began to tell her about married life. Tara started to tell her how did Tara’s husband was abusing her. Tara explained how did he pushed whatever she wanted & break it. Then Tara suddenly began to talk about their childhood. Tara “ I wish I can turn time back.” On that point suddenly Tara’s husband entered in room. He smiled sweetly towards Priya. “ Ohh you are here. I was so confused..” Priya smiled. “ Actually we were discussing our childhood memories.” “ Yes..yes childhood is childhood. Money can’t buy it. I can give all to Tara except her childhood. You can see she have all. Does she?” Priya smiled & nodded. “ She is happy in her life but as you said childhood is something different after watching your son..” “ Rishi! Of course! He must remind her of those old days. But you never climb on trees?” “ No..no we don’t have much a big gardens.” He smiled. He was happy that Priya was admiring his wealth & Tara was happy too. This was making him happy. Tara “ I wanted to show her all.” “ Ohh..yes..yes you must show her. I insist Priya you must stay with her today.” “ But..” “ No excuses. I will take permission of your parents.” Priya didn't like that idea. She stood. “ No..no I must go home.” Tara laughed. “ She always prefer to stay in home.” Then they both laughed on her. Priya came back but her mind was not happy. She began to feel so negative. Her positive thinking managed to just vanish from her thought. She was trying so hard to find some cause. But she didn’t understand. She didn’t like Tara’s husband. She didn’t want to marry man of that time. Tara’s life was horrible in her view. She felt like caged bird in that cottage but still when she returned home, she was upset. She tried to feel positive but she was not feeling that way. Her mind was full of negativity. Priya wanted to forget that visit but she couldn’t. Tara kept coming in her mind. She didn’t want to see Tara’s face again. Priya was watching her face for hours. Priya began to feel so sad. She was not so bad but still her life was not settled. Tara was taunting her because of it. Priya wanted to smile & enjoy her life but Tara became reminder of things which she couldn’t get. She didn’t understand why Tara called her. Tara looked very happy with husband still. On that point her mobile rang. Tara was calling again. She didn’t want to take her call. She decided to keep her mobile on mute mode. She didn’t want to see Tara’s face again. She was so uneasy. She needed some positivity so she began to play music but it was not working. Her music didn’t manage to relax her. It was disturbing her more. She began to hear their voices of laughing. She kept dancing for hours. She didn’t pay attention to time. She was ready to dance until she didn’t drop due to exhaustion. She needed to keep her every move perfect. She was so involved but then suddenly she sensed knock on her door. She was confused her Mom never knock. She suddenly felt scared. She knew that Tara was there. She didn’t want to see Tara but she knew there was no option. Her parents wanted her to talk with Tara. She gave nervous smile & asked “ Who is it?” She wasn’t shocked when Tara came before her. She felt so sad. Tara could have came on that day but Tara didn’t. Tara invited her to that cottage. She wanted Tara to go away but she knew that it wasn’t going to happen. She smiled. She knew that she had negativity on her face. Tara could see it but Tara immediately declared “ So he managed to upset you. Doesn’t he?” Now Priya was confused. Priya didn’t feel it was just due to Tara’s husband. Tara was laughing with him. But then she began to feel that Tara was doing it out of fear. Priya knew that it was possible. Tara looked around nervously & sat. “ Yesterday I was planning to come but he objected. He didn’t want me to go out.” Priya looked shocked. Then Tara slowly began to explain that how did her husband kept scaring her. It was horrible personal stories. Priya didn’t want to hear them. Priya didn’t wanted to understand what was happening in her marriage. But Tara sat there. Tara kept telling about her bad marriage for hours. Then Priya’s Mom invited Tara to stay for lunch. Tara did it happily. Priya soon sensed that Tara had her bags with her. Tara was clearly staying with them for sometime. Priya didn’t understand what was going on. Her parents were so supportive to Tara. Priya sensed that it was money but Tara was not going to give them anything still Tara was important. Tara entered there as her friend but soon Tara began to become daughter of her parents. Priya was so angry. She didn’t understand why Tara didn’t went to her parent’s house.

           Priya was so frustrated when she sensed that Tara was going to keep staying in her house. Tara managed to get one job. Tara declared that she would once again shift there. Tara managed to get one flat in their Society too. Priya was upset by entire incidence. Tara was bossing her. When Tara stayed in their house Tara was guest so Priya supposed to do all. Tara got one flat but Priya’s Dad insisted that Tara should stay with them which Tara agreed so easily. Priya was watching Tara. It was so odd. Neither Tara’s son nor Tara’s husband was taking interest in her returning home. Tara was no longer criticising her husband. Tara began to admire him. It seemed as if Tara just didn’t want to go & stay with him. Priya couldn’t force Tara out of house since Priya’s parents didn’t want it. Priya’s Dad was admirer of Tara. He kept admiring Tara’s earning through her new job. Tara kept chatting with Priya’s Dad for hours. Priya was burden to him but Tara was pleasant person. Priya was expecting Tara to leave their house but she kept waiting. At beginning Priya was hoping then after some point her hopes vanished too. Priya started to feel so inferior. Soon Tara’s husband & son also began to come in her home. Tara became second daughter. In fact Priya felt like only daughter. Priya didn’t understand what she supposed to do. She was listening to her music. She was posting videos of her dance daily. She started to dance. Her dance became only way to present her feelings all other ways were vanished. She managed to just get one small room for her dance. Even while recording it she felt scared that Tara or her Dad could enter in her room. She still kept dancing. She had many fans. Suddenly one of them began to talk on chat. It was lady so she felt that it was okay. She began to chat with that lady. At beginning she avoided telling issues inside her house but soon she began to type them. That lady was very nice towards her. She kept listening to that lady. Until now all told her to just do whatever people around her wanted her to do. But this lady began to tell her different things. She slowly began to demand few things from her Dad. Her Dad wasn’t ready to give them. But when her Dad rejected she started to question her decisions of obeying him. Her Dad was nice person according to all but she didn’t feel that way. She felt hurt when all told her to obey her father. Her Dad didn’t admire her. She couldn’t dance because of him. She forced tp give up dancing but her Dad never admired her sacrifice. He treated her in worst way. She wanted her life in her way. Slowly she began to go out to wander around. Sometimes she sat in park. Sometimes she talked with different people. Soon she sensed that she could find few people who admired her. Then one day when she was walking in park she noticed on one bench. Tara was sitting with some man. They were talking with each other in friendly way. They were so involved in their conversation that they didn’t sense that she was there. Tara said “ I had enough. I want divorce from that man. He is bossing too much. But then I can’t survive without him. I needed that money.” “ I know as friend I tell you now that you are married with one boy don’t divorce him. Does boy stay with you?” Tara didn’t say anything then Tara said “ He dislike me. I get angry sometimes. I irritate him..he prefer his father.” “ Then don’t think of Divorce.” After this Priya didn’t listen further. She sensed that Tara was pretending. She didn’t like her husband so she needed to shift so she used Priya’s Dad. Priya laughed. Of course in low voice Priya didn’t want Tara to hear her. Priya sensed one thing on that point. She was scared & feeling inferior about Tara who couldn’t live without money & Tara couldn’t able to get place in heart of Tara’s own child. So Tara was failed. She immediately opened chat & started messaging. That lady took some time. Then that lady typed “ Tara have life full of failures since Tara is selfish. She can’t see behind herself. She kept admiring just her qualities which are becoming limited. You have many qualities so she is jealous of you. She admired it when your Dad criticised you.” Tara wrote “ So true.” Then that lady wrote “ Join this Dance Academy they will teach you free. But you need to do some charity shows for them.” Priya immediately took address. Priya didn’t wait. Priya just went to that address & joined it. Then she declared in her house that she was dancing for charity show. Her Dad made faces. Her Dad kept trying his best to scare her but she didn’t feel scared. She decided her life & she planned to move ahead that way. She was lucky that she didn’t needed money. Then she felt tense until she didn’t go there. But when she went there, she was so happy. She started enjoying her dance. She began to feel so nice. When she came home her Mom was interested in her new job. Her Mom was admiring it while her Dad was criticising it. She decided to ignore him. She kept telling stories to Mom. Then her Mom asked “ Who told you about it?” “ You must thank that person.” She told Mom about that lady. Then her Mom sat beside her when she messaged that lady for thanking her. Then her Mom slowly typed “ Who are you?” “ Don’t worry. I am not some fraud I am psychiatrist. Your daughter was depressed so I helped her. I hope you don’t mind her friendship with psychiatrist.” Her Mom laughed & typed “ I welcome it. I like to be your friend too. But it’s wrong to use your talent like that.” That lady typed “ Your daughter showed her dance free of cost for long time for such long time so I can surely advise you free of cost” then that lady typed two smiley. After that they found true friend. Tara couldn’t harm them by help of Priya’s Dad since they were strong now.
