Hina's new house
Hina was walking down while watching every step carefully. She needed to be careful. She felt so sad. She kept feeling that she might fall. She wanted to be careful. She knew that she was walking peacefully while observing each step. She was looking around. She knew that it was her new house. She was so scared. She had just shifted in this new house few days ago. Actually, her old building was gone for redevelopment. She needed one temporary house. She was alone. She didn’t have any family. She remembered how hard she searched for one husband. Her parents kept searching too. Finally, she married to one man. He was so nice but then he got heart attack. All happiness went out of her life. People said that she was lucky that she didn’t have kids. It would have been difficult to survive with kids. But she still didn’t understand. She loved her husband. It could have been wonderful to have his children. But she was not earning so she knew that she couldn’t claim that she could have managed to grow up a kid. But now she was in this unknown house. It was just one small house which she could afford with money builder gave. She wanted to live in bigger one but everyone objected. Since her husband’s death her all finances were handled by her family. She was sad after that death. Her father used that opportunity to take over her entire financial accounts. Slowly she totally lost control. Now she literally needed to keep requesting to her family for money. Her in-laws came to visit her sometimes but frankly they were not much interested in her. Some felt sympathy but with it most of them felt that she has bad luck. They felt that if they gave much importance to her in their marriage ceremony then she gave bad luck but she didn’t object. In fact, she was no longer interested in those marriage ceremony. She felt that so frustrated when her father forced her to come. She needed to deny it but she was so scared. Her father handled all her financial matters she needed to obey it. She didn’t object them. She began to watch those steps that house was so disgusting. She needed to arrange everything properly. But still she knew that house would look worst. There was no chance of improvement in that house. She didn’t want to live in that house. Whenever she opened its window, she could see on ground which was full of dirt. It was totally neglected. When she talked about its agent who showed her this property told that it was property on dispute. She wanted to feel hopeful. But she didn’t after hearing this. Every day whenever she looked out of her window, she could see just one deserted ground which was full of garbage.She told herself that it was okay. But then slowly she began to sense that strange sort of voices came from that ground every night. It was so upsetting. She could do Police complaint but she was too scared. She didn’t want make enmity with those people who were coming there. She needed to stay in that home. She was so lost in her thought that she was about to miss one step but luckily, she was holding side bars of stair so she didn’t fall. She needed to keep herself happy in that house. She knew that it would take years to get new house in her old place. Work of their building was going but still it was slow. They couldn’t hurry up more. Builder told them clearly number of years & they agreed. Actually, other members who had other flats agreed. It was great for them. She didn’t have much power. She needed to go for redevelopment & then her father forced her to come in this flat. Her life was becoming so miserable. But she had no place to complaint.
Hina reached to ground floor. She began
to feel so nervous. She looked around. She didn’t know anyone on this street.
She slowly opened her purse. She looked inside it. She could see money in it.
She had desire to spend it but still she felt so scared. She didn’t know how
much money she had for herself. Her father never permitted to understand her
financial matters. Her father kept saying that she was lucky to survive every
day. She began to feel so stressed. She didn’t understand what was happening in
her life. She felt sometimes that she at least needed to feel positive. She
slowly went in market. She began to look around in objects they all looked nice
but nothing seemed so perfect. She started to think that she didn’t actually
need anything. She didn’t have much future. She began to remember her early
life. It was so wonderful. Her mom used to take care of everything but now her
mom was so sick. Her mom couldn’t able to do much. Her father & her brother
already began to call her mom a burden. Then she suddenly got one idea. She
could keep her mom with her for some time. She immediately called her father.
Her father screamed angrily “Why did you want to take her with you? She needs
to stay in home. She needs to lot of house chores.” It showed that her mom was
not so sick. She didn’t say anything. She felt so angry. She said slowly “I
want to take care of her for some time.” “If you took care of yourself properly
then it will be enough.” She felt so
nervous. She just said “Okay.” Then her father disconnected call. She wanted to
meet mom. She wanted to talk with her. She wanted to discuss this new house.
She hated this new house. She decided that she might be just needed to find
another house. But she didn’t have that much budget. She told herself that she
needed to return. On that point in market, she suddenly saw one shop. She
looked towards that shopkeeper. She was so shocked. He looked exactly like her
husband. She smiled nervously. She was feeling so stressed. She was trying to adjust.
She slowly asked “What is cost of this?” She was not looking towards product at
all. That man looked so scared. He couldn’t say any word. He just kept looking
towards her. Suddenly one woman appeared. She told her cost. Then Hina sensed
that it was one sofa. She couldn’t purchase such big thing. She nodded &
went away. She was sure that he was her husband. He was giving her scared look
too. She immediately called her father “Did my husband really died?” “Are you
out of your mind? Of course! We all did ritual to his body. Didn’t you remember
it?” “But I was not present when body was burnt.” Her father suddenly didn’t
speak. He said slowly in control voice. “Where are you & where is your
so-called husband alike?” She was about to tell his place but she didn’t. “No,
you will help him to vanish. I know you planned all this against me.” Her
father began to stammer “What…what are…you?” She just disconnected all. She
knew one thing that she needed help. She went to that shopkeeper once again
& asked “Why did you do this to me?”
That shopkeeper kept looking towards her with shock. Then he slowly
asked “Me? What happened Madam?” “You are my husband!” Suddenly every one in
market began to look towards them. She felt so sure about herself now. That
shopkeeper began to get angry. His wife was also beginning to look in accusing
way towards him. He screamed “This woman is mad! I never saw her.” But Hina
didn’t give up. She kept screaming. Finally, one Cop came. She began to explain
all. Cop slowly asked her to show photo of marriage. She immediately agreed.
She showed photo. Cop looked towards confused expression. Cop slowly said “This
is different man.” She began to scream loudly “No. This is same man.” She began
to accuse Cop of taking money.
All crowd was watching entire
incidence. They all observed that photo was different. Slowly Cop called psychiatrist.
It was clear to them that they were dealing with mad woman. Hina didn’t sense
it. She was happy when shopkeeper’s wife talked sweetly with her. Shopkeeper
didn’t say anything. She felt that they all managed to see what she was seeing.
She said “He is my husband. He never died.” Then slowly one ambulance came. Hina
was so shocked when Doctors & nurses started to force her to enter in
ambulance. She began to scream for help. That shopkeeper said slowly “I am so
sorry sister. Your husband is dead.” She was so angry when he called her
sister. She was his wife. She began to search for things. She wanted throw them
on him. But Nurse took hold of her hand. Nurse had injected her. She slowly
fell down. But they didn’t permit her to fall. They managed to catch her. Soon
she was taken in hospital by ambulance. In house Hina’s father was so upset. He
immediately called her brother. They ran to her building but when they reached
they sensed it was too late. They knew that Hina had mental issues. After her
husband’s death they kept her in house. Their family doctor suggested
psychiatric treatment but they didn’t do it. They wanted control on her
finances. She was living perfect life under their control. But now it was too
late when they reached to hospital Cops were there. Hina was declared unsound.
They admitted her already. Cops informed them that now her financial
transactions while sealed until she didn’t declared sound. Her father asked
“But who will pay money for her psychiatric treatment?” Cop gave shocked look.
Cop “Until now you used all your authority to handle all finances now you can’t
pay for her mental treatment?” Then Cops
said “Don’t worry. Court will tell us what we supposed to do.” Her father was
so frustrated when he came out of hospital. While Hina was sleeping peacefully
first time after her husband’s death her father was going to suffer with
sleepless night first time after her husband’s death since now, he needed to
answer Court regarding his action towards his daughter Hina. It was going to be
hard for him. He knew that when Hina came out after psychiatric treatment she
would take control of her entire finances so she was out of his control. Her
father regretted keep her mother away from her but it was too late. Now Hina
was in care of hospital where her father didn’t have much hold. He might try
but he knew that it was too risky. So, her father returned home with regret.
But Hina’s mother smiled happily when she understood finally her daughter was
getting treatment.
