House of dolls
When finally Ritika reached to that call centre where she hoped to get that job.She felt so relieved.Ritika was searching for that job since so many days.She was all alone inside this world with no more to care.Her whole family was settled now.No one really seemed to care for her.She remembered those days when she used to hope for some bright future but now all her hopes were gone.She was living her life just on money which was kept on her name so her life was so senseless in her eyes.She had to get something so that she could once again feel that life inside.But when she went inside it,she saw it clearly that they didn't want her.She just didn't understand that what was wrong in her but she could feel it.That they didn't want to give her a job.She had to go outside.She was upset.Once again she went inside her home.She was not feeling any peace now.She didn't want to go outside.She felt so nice when she was inside but whenever she went out side.She felt so scared.But every one was telling her that she must do something.She was just sitting inside her home.In fact she kept herself inside it.Ritika didn't want to go out side.Even inside her house she had created her nice paradise.She had made many types of dolls.This was her favourite hobby buying cheap dolls from market and then changing them into some thing like Barbie or she felt that they were more beautiful than that.She just went inside her room where she started creating dolls.She had selected perfect red colour out of her dress.She had cut her dress to create it because now a days her finance was not that good so investing more money seemed like useless.She had to do something for living.But inside her heart she knew that she could live on her investment but still her brother was insisting that she must do something.He suggested that she should at least go out for sometime to walk.But she hated it.She knew that she would get fat if she didn't exercise properly but she was not feeling much hungry now a days so that problem was solved.She didn't get fat if she didn't eat that much so she went inside kitchen.Once again she made that normal sandwich with limited spice and ate it.Then she once again went to do those dolls.Ritika had developed strange hobby of storing those dolls outside in gallery.She put her doll there.She was about to turn when she noticed a man looking at her.She hated him on first sight.She felt from heart that he was a criminal.She went inside immediately.
Just like her normal schedule Ritika started doing each and every thing.Nothing was changed.She was fully involved in her work.She once again ordered all needed things on phone.She felt that she was blessed after that she didn't want to go out in that hot weather.Ritika nodded to herself.When doorbell rang,Ritika went near door and saw from keyhole.She saw that a woman was standing outside.She dressed so perfectly that Ritika quickly guessed that she wanted to show Ritika that how good she was.Then she noticed that this woman was watching again and again at her door.Ritika felt that some thing was wrong.She knew her special ability but she didn't want to use it now.In fact she didn't want to think about it.Then Ritika felt that she had to ignore that woman so she went inside.After ringing doorbell for sometime that doorbell stopped ringing.That woman must had gone away.Ritika just didn't trust that thought she knew that people could do anything to such lonely woman like her so she went near keyhole again.She couldn't see any one.But she was not sure about it any way because in case of key hole they could see every one properly.She wished that she had created small window in that wooden door.That small window was something which needed to be done by carpenter.Her brother had suggested that she should do it but she didn't want those carpenter and noise inside life.From every point inside she thought that she did the right thing in life.On every point she thought that she couldn't tolerate them.Then she once again felt that something was not right.She was so scared inside life about every thing now a days.Then she suddenly noticed that she forgot to order things.Ritika smiled.It was such a small matter and she had forgotten to give so she phoned and gave order.Then she went back to Television and started watching her favourite shows.She was so involved in it.That she just jumped when some one touched on her shoulder.She was so scared.It was her brother.Ritika"How did you enter in house?"Her brother smiled."Of course with my keys.Now don't you tell me that once I used to live in this house?"Of course she knew it.The house in which she was staying was their old family home.Her brother shifted because he didn't adjust with parents.After her parent's death she was living there alone.Even her brother's family was not much welcomed in this house because at beginning her parents never liked that daughter-in-law who took their son away from them.But inside her heart Ritika never blamed her daughter-in-law for it.She knew that she was simple woman.Her brother was never fond of his parents.But she never said it because she didn't want to chat with some one for such a long time.She wanted to be alone in life and only her brother was one who never left her alone and kept coming every time inside life.She knew that it was not for love just for this house.
Ritika was acting most strange today her brother Yogesh felt it.But he wanted to stay with her for at least some days.She was acting in such way that he could convince her anything.He wanted her to shift with him so that he could sell this house.He knew that Ritika would never agree.At first he started visiting her just to convince her.But then slowly he began to notice that something was wrong with Ritika.She kept herself locked inside this house.Then his wife announced that she didn't want to stay with Ritika so question of selling house got scraped.But Yogesh was concerned about her sister.He didn't want his mind to blame him for anything if something happened to Ritika so he just kept coming.But he didn't understand what did he suppose to do.Ritika once again looked at him with suspicion.Ritika didn't like it when he came to meet her.He was so involved in his thoughts that he didn't understand that she was looking at her with anger.On that moment doorbell rang Ritika was so upset.Suddenly she knew that what was happen that man whom saw outside her balcony was a friend of her brother and they were planning this.She was so sure that this man would be outside.But instead of him it was that woman.She didn't went near the door.She just kept sitting there while doing her dolls.She was listening to them.That woman was pretending that she was her neighbour and she wanted to make friendship with Ritika.Ritika already sensed that something was wrong.Then that woman gave something to eat and then she went away.While going away she looked at dolls and admired them.That woman"Hello I am Radha,your neighbour.Glad to see you.."Ritika just kept stitching and tried her best to ignore her.Yogesh"When my sister is involved in her art.She never speak.""Those dolls they are so lovely.Actually my husband have a toy shop and we like to keep them for sale."Radha was about to touch the doll when Ritika slapped on her hand.Ritika"Don't touch it."Radha looked so hurt and upset.She suddenly went away.Radha turned around but Ritika knew that she could guess her mind.They had that ability in family.Her mother ..no..her grandmother..no her auntie..no..she was sure that all had that special secret power.She suddenly remembered it all.She could read those minds and then she looked at doll.She could even put soul inside them and then kill them.But she was not going to tell that to Yogesh.He didn't have that talent because he insulted his parents or...then she understood it that talent must be inside just woman's of their family so Ritika had it and Yogesh didn't.She could read that woman's mind.She knew that man under her balcony was her husband or some relative who sent her.Yogesh was so shocked by Ritika's attack that he just kept looking at her.Ritika"I can read her mind and tell you that this woman and her partner wanted to capture my dolls.""So what great in it ?She asked for them just a few minutes ago.""You just don't understand.They want to capture my talent with them.I got...""Stop that nonsense will you.If you have so much talent why don't you use it to get things you like.I mean like money,fame etc.?""I will use it but not now.I will use it on suitable time.""And who will tell you that suitable time?""I will understand that from my heart..""Enough.I am going and just talk properly with those neighbours or they will complaint about you to secretary of society and then you will have to go."Ritika started screaming on him."No one can take me out of this house.This is my house.This is place where my all powers will stay."Then after some time she relaxed and then once again she smiled and said "I am just joking."Yogesh nodded and went away.
When Yogesh went down,he just felt that some thing was not right with his sister.He couldn't properly point it out.But he sensed it from mind and as days were going ahead it was increasing on each day.He didn't clearly point it out but he could sense that she believed all those nonsense.He just wanted to take her to Doctor.But he couldn't force his sister like that.She was not a child.If she didn't wish to go then he couldn't do anything.He was feeling so sad from inside that he couldn't help her.He knew that it was hard.But he had to go away for week on some business and he could expect his wife to come to visit Ritika every day.He had to leave Ritika that way for few days.He knew that he had done this before but this time his heart was telling.It was not right.As soon as Yogesh went away Ritika locked that door.After some time doorbell rang once again.There was unknown man outside.When she asked that man told her,he was from shop.She gave him all that money from gap of locked door and told him to keep those things outside.Then as soon as he went away,she just took them inside in few seconds.It was her every day routine.After that day when that woman asked about those dolls.She became more careful.Now she had started locking those dolls in cupboard.Then she even started to putting two or three chairs before her door.She noticed once and twice.Some people were looking at her window in strange way.She noticed that some people were also talking about it.She didn't hear their words but she sensed it.One person even pointed out at her window.One day once again that woman came outside.This time that man was also with her.Ritika sensed it all.She knew that they were doing it for dolls.But she kept them locked.She checked inside.After ringing bell for sometime they just went away.She smiled happily on every moment.She knew that they were coming for dolls but she never understood which way so she just kept every door and window locked.She had to save her talent.As days passed slowly banging of that door decreased.She felt so glad.She was sure that every one thought that she was not in house.But slowly her food supply was finished.She decided to phone for it but then she felt scared.She didn't want to take risk.She was so scared by that idea.She could still remember that evil couple.She was sure that they would take away her dolls so she just kept inside.Her hunger was killing her but she just didn't want to bear this.She had eaten everything.She could but after some time knew that nothing was left to eat.Slowly she started feeling so weak.She just couldn't able to move so she just sat beside her dolls.She could sense that now banging on her door was increased.But she was so helpless and useless that she kept sleeping near those dolls.
Radha was watching that door every day.She didn't see her neighbour going out for some days.She sensed that something was wrong but she couldn't just go and tell it.On first day she kept ringing bell.On second day she just started looking inside from corner of door.She knew that it was wrong but still she felt that she was doing it.She sensed that this strange woman was inside and not opening her door.On third day she finally asked watchman who told her that Ritika did things like that but mostly she called people to deliver her food.Radha"But this time no one was coming.I think something was wrong with that woman.""Madam that is her house.She could act as she wish.That woman never like to come outside."That watchman also ignored that matter for that day.But after fourth day he was also tensed.He went there and started ringing then he started hitting door.Then finally he was convinced that something was wrong so he went to secretary who phoned to Yogesh.When Yogesh told him that he was out of town,secretary had become tense.But when Yogesh told him that he would come.He was little relieved.Radha,her husband and whole building was standing outside now.Every one tried everything.Finally they all thought that Ritika was murdered inside.Then finally Yogesh came and they went inside.Ritika was sitting beside dolls and she was looking so weak.They called ambulance and took her into hospital.Doctor told them in hospital that she was not eating for four days so she was such a weak.Radha"Yes.She locked herself inside that house but why?"Yogesh"I don't know."Then when Ritika woke up,she once again started screaming for dolls.Finally Doctor forced her to sleep.Then they called psychiatrist who went near Ritika and started talking to her.Slowly she told him"In my house I have those dolls in which I have special power our whole ancestor had it."Then she explained that how did she capture souls in that dolls."Did you ever saw those dolls flying?""No.Never.""Or any sort of unreal stuff?""Never Doctor.I am not mad.I have just one special power that's all."After that psychiatrist came out,and said"I think she was suffering from Schizotypal Personality Disorder.Did you have Schizophrenia in family?"Yogesh nodded."Yes my uncle had it.""So she had this disorder which we get due to genetic defects.I think there is risk of increase in this.If that happen it will turn into Schizophrenia.I will admit her to hospital and when she would be cured.I will send her home."Yogesh nodded but inside his heart he knew that his sister would never be cured.He saw that in his Uncle.He even knew that his father had some problem but he used to take medicines.He hoped that Ritika would do the same.He knew that Ritika had to live alone entire life now and he also knew that his wife would not take this lightly because now even their children might suffer like this.But he had to bear it.Some where in his mind he felt as if he was also going to have same disease one day.After all many people inside their family had it.But that shouldn't stop them from living their life,should it?He just kept thinking about one thing that did he do crime by getting married.
