A pain
Namita was sleeping quietly when she felt that on other side a scream of pain.She turned around.Her husband Prabhat was screaming and holding his head.Namita"What happened?""My head is pain..."It didn't shock Namita much after all for many days Prabhat was working continuously for his order.Namita"I told you to take it easy.But you just don't listen to me."Prabhat screamed on her."I was doing my job.Do you think these luxuries are free.That costly jewelry, that cricket kit of your son.."Prabhat wanted to count many things but suddenly his head pained so he stopped.Namita knew that Prabhat was aggressive by nature but this time he was saying too much.After all Namita bought just one costly artificial set.She knew that it was costly.But she was going for marriage and she didn't want to use real gold ornaments so she bought it.Now she was feeling guilty for it.Namita"I am sorry.I will not buy such a thing again."Prabhat"Will you stop talking give me some painkiller for this headache?"Namita was so confused.Until now Prabhat never had so much headache.He used to complaint about it after work but this was something totally different.Namita"May be you shall have to see Doctor?""Come on.I overworked.Few minutes ago you were saying same thing now suddenly why did you change your view?Now give me that painkiller."Then Prabhat took one painkiller and went to sleep.Namita never liked Prabhat's habit of taking painkiller without Doctor's suggestion.But he never listened to her.Prabhat always did as he wished.Namita wanted to protest but she knew that it was useless so she went to sleep.But even after taking medicine Prabhat's sleep was disturbed.Namita could feel it.She wanted to suggest something but then she decided against advising.Prabhat just hated suggestion and if they came from Namita,they were worst in his eyes.Even Namita could not able to sleep that night because of Prabhat's continuous movement in bed.
Next morning when she woke up,Prabhat was already sitting on his lap top and doing his work. Ritu was sitting near his brother and looking at him in strange way. Ritu was Namita's sister-in-law.She always loved to live her life on her terms.Namita just didn't understand her moods.Some times Ritu was like her younger sister and some times like her enemy.No one could guess her mood.Namita looked around for some way to stop Prabhat as if those walls could suggest her some idea to deal with her husband in better way.Even after four years of marriage she didn't understand him.But she was sure one day that she would understand it.Ritu" Prabhat dada had wake up so early.It seems as if he has not slept whole night.What happen do you fought with him again?"So Ritu was in taunting mood again.Namita was very nervous now.Ritu was blaming all fights on her when Prabhat was the one who just loved to fight with her.Namita wanted to say it but she was scared that they both would attack on her so she just kept quiet and said"No.There was no fight between us on yesterday night."Ritu smiled meanly.Ritu"Good so Prabhat dada did able to sleep yesterday."Namita was so irritated by this that she was about say something.When Prabhat screamed"Will you stop picking up a fight Namita Ritu?We don't have any fight.I couldn't sleep yesterday because I didn't able to sleep.My head was paining.""My god you didn't tell me about it.I could have helped you.My husband Kishor knew special medicine..."So Ritu started suggesting Prabhat a medicine. Namita just didn't understand.Why did Ritu love to stay here and interfere in her life when her husband Kishor was nice man and Ritu was happy with him.Still after few days Ritu came here and interfered.Namita could understand that it was her house also.After all she was Prabhat's sister.But when she interfered Namita hated it.Prabhat was very pleased when his loving sister started suggesting medicine while Namita came there for insisting him to visit a Doctor.After Ritu's suggestion Namita's suggestion was going to be useless because Prabhat always trusted his sister a lot more than his wife or his Doctor.But then Namita decided to talk after all it was her duty that she must say.She didn't want to feel guilty for entire life.Namita"I think you must visit Doctor.Please think about it."Prabhat looked at Namita.She could see that he didn't want to go to Doctor.It was written in his eyes.He always hated Doctors.But this time he was fully determined not to go there.Before he could say anything Ritu spoke"There is no need of Doctor just take the medicine and you will be fine." Prabhat nodded and Namita understood that her chance was lost.Namita just went inside.
After that for few days Prabhat's head was paining every day.Namita was watching it.But she didn't understand what did she suppose to do.It was miserable for her.Then suddenly Prabhat began to complaint about stomach one day.He vomited this time Namita insisted on visiting Doctor.But Prabhat just smiled.Prabhat"Why did I need a Doctor for acidity?It is very common.Yesterday I worked whole day and ate just one sandwich.""But why did you do that?That is enough from tomorrow.I will pack lunch box for you."Prabhat agreed willingly.Namita was relaxed now.Since suddenly Prabhat's complaint were stopped.Namita was so happy.Her life with Prabhat was never so happy because of his stubborn attitude but she was most scared this time.After all she was fully dependent on his moods about his medical help.He was just fine.Namita"I want tell you that Rahul's fee have to submitted in three days."Namita was careful this time.She didn't want to discuss this subject before Ritu so she waited until Ritu decided to stay at her home. Rahul was in boarding school.It was Rahul's decision to go there.Prabhat was upset to see those high costs of boarding school that school was really good so Namita convinced him on Rahul's insistence.Everything went fine but still when ever question of paying fees came Prabhat got upset.Namita just didn't understand that how could person act like that after all they didn't have any financial problem then why did Prabhat was so upset regarding payment of this fees.Any way she didn't want to bring up this issue before Ritu after all she didn't to add more oil in fire.Ritu always complicated all the issues.Prabhat Just looked at her for some time and told her "Will you give me that glass of milk?"Namita was confused.Prabhat never drank milk before lunch.But she nodded and went inside kitchen.Then she gave him milk.She forgot to put sugar in it.When Prabhat drank it.He just threw away that milk and began to scream on top of his lung.Prabhat"Do you want to kill me by giving this milk?""What are you talking?""This milk is sugarless.How dare you give this milk to me!!Never ever dare to do this or be ready to suffer consequences.I will never tolerate this type of negligence toward me.Never try to act over smart.You are just a stupid useless woman.You are so ugly.I gone a favor by marrying you on your mother and father..."Namita was so shocked to hear this.Never in their married life ever Prabhat spoke to her like that.He had his faults.But he always treated her with respect and never ever called her such a names.Namita could feel that she couldn't control her tears any more.She just ran into her bedroom.She was crying for some time.Then she felt Prabhat's touch on her shoulder.She just pushed away his hand.Prabhat"I am sorry.."Namita felt that catch in his voice that told her he was really sorry.Namita turned.Prabhat had tears in his eyes.Prabhat"I am so sorry.I just don't know what happened.I just lost my temper.""I am telling you.You must take care of health.Money is not that important.""Then what about Rahul's school fees.Namita it is expensive school.I know because of it our Rahul will touch the sky one day.But still it is expensive.I have to work hard to keep Rahul in it.""I know.I want best for our son.But not on cost of your health."Prabhat smiled.Prabhat"Don't worry.I am not going to die.Due to this headache."Namita"Don't say it."Namita was fully convinced some thing was wrong with Prabhat's health but she was finding it hard to convince him.
After that Namita noticed strangeness in Prabhat.She just didn't able to guess how did he would react to any thing.Like one day when she told him about Rahul's good marks.Prabhat suddenly got upset.Namita"What happened?I thought that you will be happy about it.""What?""Why are you not happy?Your son got such good marks.""I don't know.I just don't feel that way."Then he suddenly went out of room looking very sad.Namita just didn't understand.But then she began to think that Prabhat might be wanted to Rahul score less so that he could take him back from hostel.When she thought that way,she couldn't blame Prabhat for it.After all he was working so hard to get that money,he might be wanted to live a normal life.Namita felt so sad.On one hand there was a good future of her son and on other hand she saw bad health of her husband.Some times she even began to think that if Rahul was not that much intelligent and prefer to study there only.It would be a lot better for them.But fact was that Rahul was their intelligent son and he needed money for future.Namita started doing her work.After that slowly she saw that Prabhat was acting strange on many occasions.Then one day suddenly Ritu came and started crying.Namita and Prabhat ran towards her.Ritu just couldn't able to talk for some time.Finally Namita gave her a glass of water.Ritu was nervous minded girl.But Namita never saw her that pale and scared.Then slowly Ritu spoke"I just had a phone.Do you remember our cousin Suresh?"Prabhat nodded.Namita hardly remembered him.But she heard his name lot of times by Prabhat.He was Prabhat's childhood friend.Prabhat always admired him.Namita could sense that some bad news going to come.Finally Ritu controlled herself and told"Suresh is dead.He died in car accident."Namita was shocked.It was worst.She expected sound of painful crying from Prabhat.But he suddenly began to laugh.He was laughing so loudly and freely.Namita and Ritu were so shocked.Ritu screamed"Why are you laughing on death of your best friend?Are you out of your mind?.."Ritu was very upset now.But still Prabhat continued laughing.He just couldn't control himself.Namita was so shocked.She just didn't understand.Then she thought that Prabhat was so stress by it that he just reacting such a strange way.Slowly Prabhat stopped laughing.But Namita could sense it that he was not normal.She just didn't understand.What was wrong with her husband?
Then one day just like normal routine Prabhat went office.Every thing was looking perfect.Namita was began to believe finally Prabhat was out of his stress.She was so happy.When suddenly phone rang.It was Prabhat's boss.Boss"I am sending Prabhat home.Will you come and take him?""What happen?""Some thing is wrong with him.Now a days he just couldn't work properly.You know his position is important in factory.Today he made some mistake which can prove risky for customer if that product come out.Likely his junior was stood there when he tried explain this to Prabhat.He just screamed on him.Finally I went there after hearing those noises.I can't explain you that technical thing.But trust me your husband is out of his mind.Take him to some Doctor."After hearing this Namita immediately went there.Prabhat was quietly sitting on one chair.When Namita asked about that incidence.He just couldn't able to explain.Finally that day Namita took him to Doctor who suggested many reports.That was just beginning of worst for Namita because slowly Prabhat's headache returned.Then after many visits Doctor confirmed that Prabhat had tumor because of which he was acting such strangely.That tumor was effecting his brain.That day Namita phoned Ritu to tell this.Ritu showed full sympathy and came to meet him.But Namita needed financial help now because she wanted money to operate on Prabhat as well as to keep Rahul in hostel.Namita "Ritu I just don't know how can I manage both?"Ritu"Come on health of Prabhat dada will come first.You can forget about that hostel.Rahul can study in normal school.This is like spoiling kids.Just learn to say no."And Ritu went away.Every day Ritu came there,but never offered any help.Ritu didn't even helped Namita at house when she had to go to hospital during Prabhat's operation.She always came and went as a guest.Namita had just one question who was spoiled kid Rahul or Ritu who never even offered his brother any kind of help.But Prabhat still loved his sister.Some things never change.
