Her son Sunny
Rita was very careful while writing each word of letter. She could sense that this letter was going to be very important. She needed to write it properly. Rita used to study hard before writing them. Suddenly her son Sunny jumped from behind on her. She was so angry. “Sunny what are you doing? Why did you need to keep acting naughty like that?” Sunny didn’t say anything. Sunny just kept watching her. Sunny was so odd. He was her son but she didn’t like him. Sunny always kept watching her full attention. Rita smiled towards Sunny & asked “What do you want?” Sunny didn’t say anything just ran out of room. She felt so scared. She supposed to take proper care of Sunny. Her husband Ravi didn’t like if she did any mistake. Ravi’s parents kept telling her that she was most useless creature on this earth. She felt so sad & negative. She was not so smart. But she could still do small amount of letter writing for her uncle. Her Uncle was nice man. He worked for some magazine. Clearly his magazine was not giving him much money but still he continued. In that magazine many fans used to write letters as child Rita used to observe him working on his magazine for hours. She used to love it. Whenever she went in home, she always used to run towards Uncle’s room. At beginning he used to type on typewriter & sometimes he used to write actually write in notebook. But then he purchased computer & began to write all on computer. When it shifted in computer, she couldn’t able to read it so easily. It began to become a bit problematic for her. One day she asked uncle about it. But uncle didn’t like it. Uncle “I don’t want you to keep reading my articles like that. I will give you copy whenever they published.” She nodded. Then her uncle didn’t let her interfere for long time but when her uncle became too old. His Magazine didn’t get that success which he wanted. Then he decided to permit her answering letters of readers. Those letters were sort of mental harassment for him. He didn’t receive any positive letters. He just received negative letters. It was so upsetting for him. He wanted to feel hopeful but he was feeling sad & stressed. She didn’t actually ask him if she needed help. He called one day himself & asked her “Are you still interested in helping with Magazine?” She immediately agreed. She didn’t get anything in return but still she kept working for this magazine. She was married to Ravi by this time. She was pregnant for first time. She was not permitted to wander around. She was getting tense every day about her baby. Everyone in house kept lecturing her. She didn’t understand how could she manage to relax so she decided to start answering these letters which were send to this magazine. Actually, it was not her duty still she enjoyed it. Then Sunny was born. Now she supposed to take care of Sunny. They didn’t want any scream from Sunny’s mouth. Whenever Sunny cried everyone started to blame her. She was trying her best but still it was not enough for them. She felt as if Sunny was not her son but her boss. She supposed to please Sunny on every step. Even today Sunny was not permitting her to write answers. She wanted to scream on her son but she was too scared. Still, she tried to scold him. But she knew that this was useless.
Ravi was in office but he kept full
attention in his house too. Ravi kept calling to Rita from time to time. Rita
kept feeling so stressed. She began to understand from beginning she couldn’t
handle her son Sunny in best way. She needed to teach Sunny different sort of
things which could create positive impact on him. But she couldn’t do that
since Sunny was not interested in learning different things. Sunny just wanted
costly toys & he was interested in playing with them for hours. She wanted
Sunny to learn some disciple but whenever she tried Ravi & Ravi’s parents
screamed on her. She slowly took Ravi’s call. Ravi “So where is Sunny?” “He is
playing here.” She immediately called Sunny. She didn’t want to talk with Ravi
more time. Sunny was so happy to talk with Ravi. Sunny kept telling Ravi about
entire day. Luckily Sunny didn’t include her much. She was so happy. She knew
that if Sunny had said something about her, Ravi should be screaming on her.
Finally, Ravi asked “So what your mom is doing?” “She is working on computer.”
“Not working. Your mom does it just for time pass.” Sunny felt so shocked.
Sunny had little bit respect for his mom’s work vanished immediately. But Sunny
said “Dad it’s okay. When she keeps typing, she didn’t irritate me.” Ravi
laughed loudly. Ravi was so happy that Sunny was not giving any importance to
Rita’s work. Rita didn’t say anything. She just kept typing. She needed to
answer each letter carefully. Then after sometime she took mobile back from
Sunny. Ravi said slowly “I feel Sunny is sneezing little bit. Did you give him
ice cream or some cold drink?” She felt so nervous. She needed to tell truth.
She said “It was too much heat he insisted so I gave some fruit juice.” “It was
cold?” “Yes.” “You are much useless mother! Little children kept insisting but
adult needed to deny.” “I was trying but he started to cry…” “Due to your extra
pampering our son is getting spoiled. You didn’t understand how to handle that
child. I can’t even think about second child…” She didn’t say anything. Frankly
she didn’t have desire for second child. Sunny was so arrogant towards her. She
tried so hard to please Sunny. She felt so scared when Sunny screamed or cried.
It was such problematic situation for her but Ravi kept talking about second
child. It seemed as if Ravi was planning for second child but she immediately
objected. “ I don’t think this is wise. Sunny is very important for me.” On
that point Sunny began to scream “ I don’t want new baby in house.” She smiled.
She was glad Sunny felt that way. Ravi heard it too. Ravi “I can understand
Sunny is important if Sunny doesn’t want sibling. Then it’s not time to plan
one.” Ravi disconnected all & she took breath of relief. She shivered. She
looked around. There was high temperature. All were sweating only she was the
one who was shivering. She didn’t understand why this was happening. She began to feel that she was
getting sick. She decided that she needed to go to some doctor. She knew that
doctor could surely cure her. She didn’t want Sunny to fall sick because of
her. She went to check her temperature. Her hand was literally shivering. She
slowly checked her temperature. She was glad to find that she didn’t have
temperature. She smiled happily. Then she looked at time. It was time to cook
snacks for Sunny. She needed to do all properly. It was important for her. She
kept telling herself that everything was fine but, in her heart, she knew that
it was not.
After marriage
Rita suddenly reduced visiting her parents so much. Her brother Rakesh didn’t
like it. Rakesh wanted to know what was happening. When rich boy like Ravi
proposed Rita, Rita said yes without second thought. Rita kept admiring every
gift given by him. Rakesh was only one who wanted Rita to be careful. But Rita
never took him seriously. It was frustrating for Rita. Rita told him one day
clearly “Ravi is rich & prosperous man so he has few demands from me. I
don’t know much about his rich lifestyle so I need to learn it. You are my
brother you need to cooperate with me. I don’t want you to spread negativity
around. It hurt me a lot.” Rakesh nodded. After that Rakesh kept away from her
matters. But now he began to feel something was odd. Rita was no longer coming
to meet them. It was so upsetting. He was feeling so frustrated. He decided
that he needed to visit his sister if he felt that she was still upset with
him. He could apologise. He was about to call her but then he decided that he
didn’t need to do that he could suddenly visit his sister & surprise her.
He decided that he needed to purchase some gift too. He went for shopping.
While Rakesh was planning for shopping, Sunny was busy in playing. Sunny was
playing with ball. His ball went under cupboard. Normally Sunny would have gone
under cupboard himself. But today Ravi told him that Rita was just wasting her
time. Sunny began to think about his mother, Rita supposed to just take care of
him. He screamed loudly “Mom Give me that ball.” Rita was so involved in that
letter. She didn’t heard him. She kept writing each word every carefully. It was
important for her. She was not interested in anything else. On that point
suddenly she felt so tense. She looked towards Sunny. She said sweetly “Will
you please take your ball?” Sunny began
to abuse her. She was so shocked. On that point Rakesh came. Rakesh was so
angry. Rakesh screamed on Sunny “How dare you talk with your mom like that?”
Rakesh raised his hand to hit Sunny but Rita immediately stopped him. But it
was too late. Sunny immediately called Ravi & then he immediately called
Ravi’s parents too. Ravi called Rita “Tell your brother to go out. How could he
hit my son?” “He didn’t I stop him. He will never do that.” “I don’t want your
brother in my house. Send him out.” Rakesh was so nervous. Rakesh already left
house. Rita “He left house.” “Why did he go alone? You need to go with him.” She
was so shocked. “I didn’t do anything. I stopped Rakesh. I even told him not to
come.” “You didn’t give ball to Sunny.” She didn’t understand. Sunny was giving
her one look which told her that Sunny was no longer going to behave nicely
with her. Rita slowly said “I will go away.” She just disconnected call. She
kept walking. She went out of that house. She kept walking for long time. Finally,
she reached to beach. She sat near sea. She kept watching it. Soon she totally
lost herself in those tides. Soon Sunny began to cry. He sensed that Rita was
not coming. He needed someone to take care of him. He called Ravi. Ravi was so
angry. Ravi called Rita’s parents but they didn’t know anything. Then Ravi even
called Rakesh. But Rakesh didn’t know much. Ravi called his parents. They went
in home. Now Ravi’s parents started to take care of Sunny. They were not happy
with behavior of Sunny. They declared that he was spoiled because of Rita.
Ravi was so frustrated. He didn’t go out to search for Rita. He just kept abusing
her parents. Finally, Rakesh searched hard for her. Rita was found on beach by
cops. She was just sitting. They tried to ask her about her house but she just
gave Rakesh's number. She cried & told Rakesh that she didn’t want to stay
with Ravi. Finally Cops suggested psychiatrist to Rakesh. Rakesh called
psychiatrist & admitted Rita in mental rehabilitation. Then he called Ravi.
Now Ravi didn’t want her responsibility. Ravi began to discuss divorce. Rakesh
agreed. So finally, when Rita came out after treatment, she was divorced woman
who didn’t have rights to even visit her son Sunny. But she was okay with that.
Rita began to live peaceful life with her parents. She never talked about her
son at all. Rita just said one thing time to time. “I am scared of Sunny. He might
punish me.” They never pressured her further. They decided to move on in life
& permitted her to move on.
