One morning Geeta woke up with strange sound.That voice was so strange.She didn't feel fine after hearing it.She felt that it was reminding her of thief.She decided to go out.But then she suddenly felt that it was all mistake.It was not safe to go out like this in night.But she could feel that it was coming out of her garden and at night going there would be risky. After all her husband Ramesh was sound asleep.She wanted to woke up him.But then she suddenly remembered the theft that happened in next society.That owner tried to stop thief and got killed.She was sure that Ramesh would try the same taunt.She didn't want Ramesh to be hurt so she forcibly shut her eyes.She was still hearing that sound.She was so scared that it would woke up Ramesh and her worst nightmare turned into true.But after some time it stopped. Geeta felt relieved. Geeta tried to sleep but she just couldn't. She was so scared that some thief had entered in her house.Whole time she was watching at fan and expecting that some one would jump inside from window.She suddenly began to feel risky so she decided to go down.She went in kitchen and took one knife from stand.She started walking slowly.She felt some one was moving towards her.Then suddenly Ramesh came before her.She screamed loudly.Actually she didn't want to scream on him.But her scream came even before she understood the fact that she was screaming. Ramesh "Stop screaming.Are you mad or some thing?Walking like this in midnight with knife.Are you planning to give me heart attack or planning to murder some one?""Actually I heard some voices.""I have heard same voices.But when I heard your footsteps,I thought that it's you.""No..No!!I have come in to kitchen just to get knife for our safety.""This is too much.You expect to fight with knife when you see that robber.Come on.Robber will snatch that knife and kill you.It is like getting weapon for him not for you.You are acting as if you know marshal arts..."Ramesh was so tense that he started screaming loudly on her. Geeta was also angry after this. Geeta "Blaming me is easy.But I was not sleeping like you.Even if mountain was moved,you don't wake up.""I work hard whole day.Not just sit at home like you.""Ohh!!I sit in home.While I do each and every work at house.Take care of your kids still you think that I just sit at home.How dare you?""Then why did you mention my sleeping?""Of course I can mention other things like your limited salary and promotions.."Ramesh started abusing her. Geeta could feel it that he was going to slap her.But still she didn't tolerate his behaviour any more.But it could not stop her from answering him.He slapped her.She began to throw things on him. After hearing their voice kids came out.
Geeta looked at kids. Pinki and Girish both looked scared.She saw both the kids were observing their argument or fight.She looked at Ramesh pointedly and he understood her meaning.He immediately stopped fighting and their argument stopped. Ramesh "Geeta I am going to sleep in hall."He went into hall. Geeta was sure that kids must had seen enough to guess what was happening there.Now a days their arguments were turned into daily routine.When ever they saw kids,they just stopped them.It was their strange unbroken rule between them. Geeta just didn't understood her relationship.At one moment they just couldn't stop fighting.She just couldn't convince her husband but whenever she saw kids.Her husband understood it in seconds.They just couldn't adjust with each other.But kids were their heart and soul so they had to adjust for them.But their continuous fights had already started disturbing kids.Girish came towards her. Girish"Mom did you and Dad fought again?"Geeta gave him artificial smile Geeta"Who told you that?Of course not.Your Dad is just angry with thief."Pinki"What thief?He slapped you.We saw it."This was getting worst for Geeta step by step.Kids were watching everything. Geeta "Nothing like that.You just imagine."Girish"No Mom.We also saw you throwing things at him."Geeta got frustrated now. Geeta"Stop this nonsense.There was no fight.We just thought that we heard a thief.Now will you go to sleep?"After hearing her anger both kids ran to room. Geeta could clearly see that their relationship was creating bad effects on kids.She decided to talk with Ramesh so she went in hall.
Ramesh was sitting on sofa.As soon as he saw Geeta,he turned towards her.Ramesh"Sorry.But now a days I just don't able to control my anger."Geeta was angry with him.She hated him few minutes ago.But after seeing tears in his eyes she once again melted. Geeta"Why don't you do some meditation or Yoga?" Ramesh nodded.He seemed to be convinced .Geeta was so relaxed.If Ramesh took her suggestion and took proper treatment for anger their all problems would be solved But then once again her thoughts were destroyed when she thought about her in laws.She was sure that when next day Ramesh would talk with his parents.They would convince him against it.They were so old fashioned that they never let Ramesh to go for any kind of treatment.They just stood against Geeta's any efforts to taking him to counselling. Geeta knew that nothing was going to change this time.But then she decided to live in that moment and gave Ramesh sweet smile.She told him to come in room with her.She knew that kids were looking at them from their room so she wanted them to see their fight was over.Then they went happily to their room.But Geeta couldn't able to sleep peacefully that night.She was tense regarding everything.Finally she started crying slowly like many nights.She went to sleep while crying.Both the kids saw patch up between parents. Girish"Pinki what do you think they will fight tomorrow?""Of course no doubt.They pretend like that every time and they fight next time.Don't trust this.Let's go to sleep."Girish nodded and they went to sleep.
Next morning when Geeta started arranging for breakfast,she noticed that Ramesh was on phone.She knew whom he was calling.But she decided to ignore.Then she saw ,kids came out to sit on table.She began to arrange their breakfast.After some time Ramesh joined them.She could clearly see change in his expressions.Once again he had turn against her and his own good. Ramesh"So what are your plans today?""Nothing.Just normal."Ramesh was about to say something insulting to her.When they both heard strange voice,Pinki was rubbing her hands on one spoon. Geeta"What happened?""Mom it is dirty."Ramesh took that spoon out of her hand. Geeta knew that he was trying to find her fault.If he found any dirt on spoon,he would be screaming and insulting her.She was expecting screams.But instead of screaming Ramesh continued looking at spoon. Ramesh"What is wrong with that spoon?""Dad it is dirty.""What dirt?"Girish"She can see special dirt and dust.At night she even clear our floor."Pinki looked angrily Girish. Geeta"Clear floor.But maid clear your room every day."Girish"But not the way in which Pinki do."Ramesh"What is so special about Pinki's clearing?""She.."Pinki"Will you shut up?Dad Mom don't believe him.He is just kid.He is exaggerating.""How do you know before listening to him?Come on Girish. What is it?""Nothing."Girish was scared to go against his sister.But Ramesh and Geeta sensed that some thing was wrong with their daughter. Geeta"Let's search your room."Pinki"No you can't."Ramesh angrily"Yes we can you.""YOU CAN'T.How dare you enter in my room?You hit my Mom every day.You are bad person.You don't have any right to teach me anything."Ramesh was so sad and confused that he just stopped there.But Geeta just went directly in kid's room. Geeta opened the door.She started searching room.Slowly she found many new things which didn't belong to Pinki. Geeta started crying.Then Pinki came running inside that room. Geeta"So you started stealing once again.""Sorry Mom.But I need those things."Ramesh"Then you can ask to your Mom for money.""I just don't want you suggestions.If I am criminal,you are not better than me.You hit my Mom every day.You are also criminal."Geeta was so angry.She was about to slap her daughter when Ramesh stopped her. Ramesh "Not now.I think.We need to talk to her principal."Pinki"No please.Don't tell my principal She will throw me out of school."Geeta"We are going to call."After saying this Geeta was about to go out of room.When she suddenly looked at it's cleanliness.Room was too much clean as if some one was rubbing each part of it.Then she noticed scratches on wall paint.She was confused.Then she remembered the voice at night.She knew that it was not from outside.It was from this room.Due to echo it felt as if it was coming from outside.Someone was scratching on the walls of this room. Geeta"Who scratched that paint from wall?"Girish"Pinki did to clean a spot from wall.""Yes Mom it was so unclean."Then suddenly Pinki once again began to place all things properly which were misplaced during Geeta's search. Pinki looked so strange while she was cleaning it.Pinki was just obsessed with that cleaning task.She forgot all her problems.
After some time Ramesh and Geeta contacted her principal.They took her in office.Principal"I think your daughter is having some psychiatric problem..."Ramesh screamed"My daughter is not mad.""I think your this attitude is creating problem for her.Do you notice that she is having lot of problems?Look at her.She is not even sleeping properly."Geeta looked at her daughter.Principal was right.In efforts to hide her problems from kids she just didn't able to look at her kid's problems properly. Ramesh also stopped talking.Principal gave them a number of psychiatrist "Take her to Doctor or I will force to rusticate her from school."Ramesh"You can't force us like that.."Geeta"Enough.She can do it and my daughter is going to meet that doctor."After seeing Geeta's anger first time Ramesh nodded and agreed with her.Then they took Pinki took doctor.Doctor first became friendly with her.Then he told Ramesh and Geeta to wait outside.After some hours Doctor told Pinki to sit with receptionist and asked her parents to come inside.Doctor looked angrily at Ramesh."You hit your wife."Geeta"Actually sometime....""Don't give excuse for your husband.Don't you know it is crime.""Actually sometimes I lose my temper.""Then why didn't you took treatment for it?You are an educated man don't you have enough sense."Ramesh was nervous now."This all has happen due to your problem."Geeta "I don't understand.We tried to hide...""You can't able to hide such a big things from kids.Now listen to me. Pinki Stole those things only when you fight with each other.She is doing it because she is jealous of those kids who enjoy happy and stable life at home.Then she began to feel guilty about it so she became obsessive compulsive.I mean she began to clean her guilt by cleaning her room.I will start her treatment.But I also suggest you to take treatment Mr.Ramesh or else may be your wife one day divorce you or you may land in jail due to some other wrong thing,you done in your anger.It is your choice."Ramesh was scared now so he started his treatment.The thing which could have done easily some years ago was turned into complicated thing.Just because Ramesh didn't want to go to Doctor.Is Psychiatrist that bad?
The End
