Tic
Rina was cooking when phone rang.Her daughter Charu ran towards phone. Rina was listening to that call from kitchen.After all Charu was big enough to attend call and Rina's hand was dirty while cooking.Charu was five years old but quite smart and talkative.Talking on phone was Charu's favourite work.Charu ran to that phone and started talking."Hello Uncle.."Rina heard that and she was shocked her brother was calling.Her brother Yogesh never called her due to his busy schedule.He was a sales representative of big firm.He was always busy with his work. Yogesh called that was biggest occasion. Rina ran to phone and snatch it from her daughter.She was totally ignoring her protest. Rina"Yogesh how are you?You have phoned after so many days.I have missed you so much..""I am coming there."Rina smiled."You are coming here.My god!!I just don't what to say.It seems like life time before we meet each other.I am dying to see you.I am so happy.."Rina was literally jumping with joy and Charu was observing her with strange way. Yogesh"I will be there in two days.""That's great.For how many days you took this vacation?""I have resigned."Now Rina was shocked.She just didn't understand Yogesh always liked his job.Why did he resign.Something was wrong.She could feel it.But she decided to discuss it personally.After all on phone she couldn't see his face so communication was impossible. Rina felt that she needed some time to understand him. Rina"Okay.Come here as soon as possible.Just keep this in your mind.I am with you." After saying that Rina decided that now she must contact her parents after all her parents would know that how to deal with this.But as she picked up the phone.She began to think that what did she tell her parents.She couldn't tell them that Yogesh lost his job.It would be shock to them and unfaithful to Yogesh. She decided to talk first with Rajiv,her husband.But she didn't like idea of calling him in office.In office he never answered anything properly.He get irritated by phone calls.She thought that she would talk to him in night with complete privacy.She didn't want Charu to listen these things.Then Charu suddenly screamed with joy.Charu"Mom Uncle is going to come.He will take me to fair again and we will go to cinema also.I like him..."Charu was dancing with joy.But Rina was worried about Yogesh's financial position.She surely couldn't tell this to her daughter.
At night as soon as Rajiv entered in house,Charu came running towards him and told him the good news.Rajiv also smiled with happiness.Rajiv always liked company of Yogesh.Rina could easily detect confusion on his face.Yogesh"Why don't you phone me at office with this news I could have arrange some tour for Yogesh's vacation."Then Rajiv noticed that Rina was pointing at Charu so he kept quiet.Whole time Charu made many plans with Rajiv to enjoy this stay of her uncle.Rajiv also actively participated in everything with enthusiasm.But he noticed that Rina was lost in her thoughts.Finally when dinner was over and Charu slept peacefully.Rajiv asked Rina"What's wrong?I hope Yogesh is fine.""Actually he is physically fine,but..""What happened?""He had resigned from his job.""But why?He used to love his job.""I know..I know.I will try to talk to him when he come here.""But this is too much.He use to love his work and now he suddenly took this decision and decided to quit his job this is not normal."Rina nodded."I know.But I can't do anything until I see him face to face."This time Rajiv was forced to say"I know."But Rina could see it on his face that he could not understand Yogesh's attitude.But he decided to keep quiet for that moment.She was sure that he was going to do bombarding on Yogesh when ever he able to spend some time with him.She didn't like it.But she knew that she could not stop Rajiv.After all this was question of Yogesh's entire life.Then suddenly Rajiv asked "Did you call your parents?"Rina was confused.She didn't want to bring that subject.By now she just didn't have any courage to face her parents.If Rajiv reacted so much her parents were suppose to act more aggressively.Rina"I decided to call them later.""You took right decision.What is use of giving them tension?May be we can handle it?"After saying this Rajiv started thinking.Rina wanted to talk to him but then after looking at his tense face she just went to sleep.
When Rina woke up next morning,she never thought that she could fell asleep so easily.She was so sure about her restless night.Then she felt touch of little hand.Charu"Mommy Papa had left for office.""My god??!!I must slept too much."Then she looked at watch.Rina got ready to start work when suddenly Charu came running in kitchen.Charu"Mommy Uncle is coming tomorrow.He phoned when you were sleeping.Papa told to tell you."Rina nodded and then gave sweet smile.Rina"So it is time for shopping.Let's go."Charu smiled and nodded.She loved shopping just like her mother so they went for shopping arranged everything to perfection.Rina changed everything including curtains.Then she opened recipe book and selected each recipe for each day.Charu helped her in everything.Then they added all items for recipe and went to grocery store and bought everything.Charu didn't complaint about anything because she knew her uncle want everything perfect.In fact Charu personally arranged her uncle's room perfectly according to her best.Rina smiled after seeing her efforts.After so much efforts and discussion finally Yogesh came.When he entered, Rina was shocked to see his face.Some thing was totally wrong with him.She could point out.He was pale but on other side he was quite plump.But she couldn't see freshness of health on his face.When she started looking at him,he suddenly got nervous and started playing with tie.It was his habit from childhood after seeing him doing it again.She couldn't helped.She laughed.She was suddenly reminded of all her childhood memories.After that she could clearly see pain on Yogesh's face.Some unknown pain which was cutting inside his heart.He felt that he was having hard time in controlling his emotion.He suddenly said that he wanted to go in washroom and ran inside.Every one was confused and upset.Rajiv"Why did you laugh?How mean!!"After saying this he angrily went inside with Yogesh's language and their daughter also followed her father.So Rina was sure whole house was angry with her for her mistake.She wanted to bang her head on wall and punish herself.Why did she have to laugh on wrong time?
After sometime Yogesh came out,he tried to give artificial smile.But he didn't succeed much.Then Rina suggested that they should have dinner.Yogesh nodded and went to change his clothes.Rina arranged everything perfectly.When Yogesh came out,he was dressed in casuals.Rina was happy that he looked little bit relaxed.But as soon as he entered in room.He started playing with top of the button of shirt.Rina was shocked.Since childhood Yogesh had bad habit of playing with tie.But he never played with an imaginary tie like he was playing now.It was so strange.There was no tie still Yogesh was playing with it.His tic was increased too much.Rina wanted to say something.But Rajiv looked at her pointedly and she shut up.But then suddenly Charu screamed"Uncle why are you playing with your button?"Now suddenly everyone was silent and no one said anything.Finally Rina opened her mouth"Come on let's start dinner."They all ate dinner but at that time every one was tense even small Charu felt that she made some mistake so she kept quiet.Whole time Yogesh was playing with that button with such obsession that Rina sure that it was going to come in his hand.But sadly that didn't happen and he just continued playing.Every one was looking at him in strange way.But they didn't say anything.Yogesh was upset but he didn't say anything for sometime.Finally he could not control himself and his button came in his hand.Yogesh "Excuse me."and he went out of his room.Rajiv"This is strange.I never saw Yogesh act this way.I just don't understand.What happen to him?"Rina"You are right.He always use to play with tie.But never this way."Charu"Uncle is acting strange."They didn't want to discuss this before Charu.But in excitement they made that mistake.Now they didn't know what to do.Suddenly Rina got a idea.Rina"Charu why don't you watch that cartoon?It is about time."Charu looked at watch and ran towards T.V.But before going she said just on line"Mom I think Uncle lost his job due to playing with tie,his tic."Then she went away.But Rina felt as if her words where repeating in her brain.Rina looked at Rajiv who nodded in agreement.
That night when Charu went to sleep,Rina and Rajiv went in Yogesh's room.When they entered Yogesh immediately started to be pretending that he was sleeping.But they both knew that he was fully awake.Slowly Rina went near him.Rina"Yogesh what happened?"Rina saw that there was tears in his eyes.Yogesh"I lost my job due to this habit of playing with tie."Rajiv"But I don't get it.Until now you had this habit.You had it for years.What happened now?""I just don't know.It is increased day by day.Don't you notice it on table.I started doing it when I was not even wearing tie.""This is really strange.""Let me explain you.One day I was standing before client.Important NRI and suddenly one of them asked that why were you playing with tie.Another said that I was so stupid.I was acting like child.Finally they all went away without giving contract.Boss looked at me with anger.Then he told me that either I quit this habit or I should quit the job.I can't quit my habit.It happens unknowingly every time so I had to quit my job.Now I am jobless because of playing with tie."Rina"But last time when you came,you were not doing it so many times.""Yes.It is increasing with time.It was not childish thing any more it is like disease which is destroying me."After saying this Yogesh started crying.Rajiv"Now don't worry with help of Rina.You can easily quit it.""It is not that easy.I tried but I just can't stop myself.""Don't worry now.We are with you."Rina and Rajiv were so happy.Finally their problem turned out to be simple.They were sure that they could do it.But Yogesh was not so sure.He was sure that they didn't find it as easy as they thought.So from next day it started.As soon as Yogesh entered, Rina looked at his hand.He was doing it again."Yogesh stop it."But Yogesh continued playing."Yogesh will you stop?"He stopped but after few seconds it started again.When Rajiv came down,Rina was literally screaming on him and telling him to stop it.Rajiv"What happened?""Look at him."Rajiv turned and looked at Yogesh.Yogesh was doing that moment so fast that it looked very strange.Charu was also shocked.He just didn't able to stop it for long time.It was worst.Finally Yogesh started crying.They all were shocked.Rajiv"I think he need a Doctor."Rina"How can Doctor cure this?""Come on at least give it a try.He need a help which we never able to give."Rina nodded.She was ready to do anything to stop this before she had to tell her parents.On evening they went to their family Doctor who suggested them a psychiatrist.Those were worst day of their life.They had to watch Yogesh suffering every day because of that habit.Finally they went to that Doctor who told them that Yogesh could be cured and suggested another proper Doctor.Then he began to discuss with Yogesh "When this started.""From childhood I use to do it.But it increase since last year when my new boss came and then those NRI..""Is he spend when those client came there.""Yes.""I don't know what is your boss motive.But is there any chance he want you to resign?""I don't know.I never thought.""Think about it.May be he was scaring you to fulfill his motive?"Rina"My god!!Then Yogesh must go back and fight back.""No need to do that.Life is not always about fighting.Yogesh can easily get better job and his problem will be cured.But if he once again decide to fight.He need to be strong."Yogesh"But I don't want to see his face.I will get new job."And from that day Yogesh started his new life with his treatment and in search of his new and proper job.
