He looked at it with curiosity.It was so strange,No one had mentioned to him that someone was coming to stay there. It was so confusing. But then he felt that he was so busy with his mother that they must had forgot it.He knew that his father was helping him. But his mother was so getting more and more violent day by day.He just couldn't able to ignore her.It was just case of yesterday when at midnight his mother came in his room. His Mom"Saket will you tell that girl,you are not interested in marrying her?" Saket was in his deep sleep but when his Mom said this. He was so shocked. He was in half sleep so instead of understanding it was all wrong, he start looking around for a girl. But when he came his senses,he felt so much hurt.How could his mother joke like that about his personal life.He felt so stupid when he searched for that girl. Saket" Mom do you think this is funny?" He was so angry and upset. He was searching for that girl in middle of night.It was so horrible. Mom "I am not joking.Can't you see that girl?"Then she started pointing out in air. His Mom started telling that girl to come. Saket was so scared. It was like some horrible nightmare.His Mom was talking to air.For some few moment he felt that he might also began to see that girl but it didn't happen.It all just forced him to get more panic. He was so scared that he would began to see people like his Mom.He started screaming on his Mom."Mom no one is there. See it's just air."He went to that place where his Mom was pointing.He stood and said "See I am standing here.No one is here."His Mom started laughing. "Come on. You can't stand on her.She is not stupid or mad. She had moved.""What?Tell me where is she?""There."His Mom pointed place which was far away. Saket ran there and stood. His Mom"You naughty girl!!She moved again.I feel she is playing game with you.When you try to caught her,she just ran away. "His Mom was laughing.But today he just wanted to prove.He was so upset that he just kept running around on every time. He wanted to prove his Mom that no one was there. He just felt one thought from his heart that if he convinced her today then it would be over. He just kept running on that point which his Mom showed to him. He never sensed that he was screaming with mouth "I am going to prove it today." There was so much noise in that room.He never sensed that his father had came to near door. But his father came inside and stopped Saket. His Dad"What are you doing?" Saket started crying. He just didn't want to stop crying.It was so horrible for him.He just couldn't control his feeling. His Mom was making joke out of his dreams. His Dad"Relax.She don't understand what she is talking about.""Dad she is telling me that there is girl standing there.Can you believe it?She is telling me that this girl want to marry me.""Ohh god!!Just relax.I will take her with me and forced her to sleep.""You know her very well Dad.She would not listen to you.""Come on.I will do it."Then his Dad forcibly took his Mom away from his room. He cried whole night.
        It was happening again and again. His Mom kept telling nonsense things and they kept convincing her.But it never happened. He wanted to take his Mom to Doctor but his Dad told his that his Dad already tried but it never helped since his Mom was not curable. But still when Saket insisted his Dad started treatment again.It was not curing but they at least got some medicines to control her fits. But still they were not getting rid of that problem. His Mom was just having same problem day after day he felt that it might possible that people of society decided to ignore them. He was so angry but he had decided one thing that he would not let them know that he was hurt.Instead of that he felt that he should go there and make friendship with those new people before any one else. He decided to take it as challenge. He just took vegetables with him.He looked at watchman with anger.Then he went to that flat.He started ringing that door bell but no one opened door for long time.Then he felt touch on his feet. A small boy was standing near him.He was holding that ball. There was sweet smile on that boy's face. That boy"Mom and Dad were gone out.""What you are alone at home?""No.I am staying with my Auntie.""What Auntie?""He pointed a flat of next building. Saket smiled."What are you doing here?""Playing ball."That kid was really cute with his chubby cheeks. There was chocolate on his cute cheeks. Saket had not noticed chocolate on his face before. He started cleaning boy's face with his handkerchief. That boy gave him a nice smile. Saket "What is your name?""Bobby.""Ohh..""Uncle can you come with me in garden my auntie insisted on going with elder?"Now Saket was confused.He never took responsibility of a kid. But then he looked at that kid.He was so cute and he looked out towards his Auntie who was standing in balcony and screamed "I will take him." Bobby's Auntie looked Saket with confusion, But she didn't say anything. So Saket decided to assume it as "yes". Then Saket took Bobby in garden.He was playing with him. He saw Bobby was playing with ball.Then he noticed other kids so he asked Bobby " Why don't you play with them?""No.. I want to play with you only.""Why?""Because you play just those games which I like and they will play what they like."Saket started laughing. Logic of that small kid was really cool. Bobby was so nice. It was so nice to enjoy playing with him. When Bobby was playing with so much fun that Saket began to remember his childhood. Saket started to remember each and every day of his perfect and nice life. Saket began to remember each days of childhood that were so important inside his life.When every thing was turning out to be perfect and normal for his life, he would like to live it again when his Mom was normal and he used to play in same way with Mom until one day suddenly his Mom saw her first imaginary creature. It was dog whom she called Tommy. He still remembered it that how did his Mom wanted him to pat on that dog's head. But he didn't able to see that dog so it was not possible for him. It was so horrible. They took that invisible dog at home and Saket had to play with Tommy until his Dad came from that day his childhood was destroyed. Every day his Mom started creating different dramas. Saket just hated it. Many times his Dad tried to convince him that it was not his Mom's fault. But he just never agreed to it. He felt that she could accept when it was told her. He felt same even now. Only if his Mom had accepted things after she visited psychiatrist then things would turn properly.But she never accepted it. She just kept imagining those characters and leading to lot of problems. Then Saket started playing once again with Bobby.
         Bobby was playing with ball and Saket was enjoying it so much that he started playing with ball for hours. Bobby was enjoying ball on every moment with Saket. Saket was enjoying game of ball with his open heart. Saket was so involved that he totally forgot about vegetables which he had bought.Then he looked at his bag which were in one corner. He looked at them. He went near and took proper look at them.They were looking good.He thanked his stars that those vegetables were not spoiled. Saket"Bobby now I must drop you at home.""Don't worry. I will go.""But I can't let you go alone like that.""I will go."After saying this he just ran away from Saket.Saket ran after Bobby but he was already gone. Saket smiled at himself.Then he took bag of vegetables and went home. When he came back home,he saw that his Mom was in kitchen.Today she was looking normal so he could expect dinner from her. Saket "Mom how are you?""I am fine. Why are you asking that? Ohh Vegetable!! I was waiting for them."Then Mom started cooking. Whole time Saket was keeping watch on her. He was scared to let her cook alone in kitchen. Saket saw that his Mom was acting normal today.She was doing every thing just as per normal lady.It was lucky day for them.Saket was so happy on that day his Mom behaved perfectly. After eating his dinner he went into his room and started getting ready for next day.He had to complete his work. When he started completing it,he sensed that something was wrong.He felt that some one was laughing on him.When he turned,he was shocked. Bobby was standing at door. He was observing Saket with full interest. Saket was so confused. Saket "How did you came inside?""By door."Saket started laughing."Funny.But who open it for you?""Your Mom.""Ohh."" Let's play. No I need to do my work." Saket would wanted to work."Sorry but I have to work.But how did your parent permitted you to come here at this time?"Bobby"I have just decided to come.."Then suddenly his Mom entered in room. His Mom"Food is ready.But you are talking with whom?""Bobby Mom."Saket pointed at Bobby. "Who?""Can't you see Mom? This small boy standing before me?""Whom? I can't see."Saket now understood one thing that his Mom was not normal.She was still having problem.He just turned to Bobby. Saket "Bobby you can't stay with us like that. You have tell your parents."Bobby just smiled. Then Saket took hold of his hand but Bobby started running around. Saket started trying to catch him. Then Saket started crashing with things. Saket noticed one fact that his Mom was not able to see Bobby on any point. Finally he forced Bobby to stop.Saket "Stop now.... Stop now. Fine you can stay for dinner. But I will call you parents."Bobby "I will call."Then Bobby ran to phone.When Bobby started calling,Saket turned to his Mom."Mom he will stay with us.You can arrange dinner for him.""But..But... I can't see him."Saket screamed "Mom do as I say. I am telling you to bring plate.Do it."His Mom looked scared.Bobby"I will stay for dinner. In fact I can stay as long as I want."Saket started laughing. It was perfect joke.
           Then at dinner Saket arranged plates perfectly on table. He kept telling his Mom Bobby's each and every word.It was so embarrassing. His Mom just couldn't able to communicate with Bobby.Worst thing was that on one spot. His Mom was about to sit on Bobby. Saket had to scream on her. Bobby just laughed as if it was just a joke. It was hard for her. Saket was not that much happy about this.He just hoped one thing that his father would come soon and attend this small boy. Saket was so upset by this. He was waiting for his father.He had dictate  to his Mom every thing.His Mom was just seeing his plate. Finally his father came. As soon as his father entered Saket ran towards him. Saket "Dad there is small boy as guest in house."His father smiled"That's great,""But Mom is not able to see him.""What?"Now his father looked tense. "Don't worry. I will manage." Then his father went inside and stood near table. Saket thought that his father would smile at Bobby and say something. But his father turned to him and asked" where is our guest? Did he went to washroom?"His Mom clapped happily and said" So you don't see him? I am right. That boy is not there.""What?""Saket is saying he is sitting here."Then his Mom pointed at Bobby. Bobby was smiling happily while eating his food. Saket screamed"Can't you see him? "His Dad turned head negatively. It was so confusing. Saket went near Bobby touched him.He was seeing him clearly.He was touching that boy with affection. Saket"Can't you see him?"Suddenly his Dad started crying. Saket was so shocked.Saket ran near his Dad. Saket "What happened?""Doctor warned me.But I was hoping until now it will not happen. You have never show any sign.""What sign?""Nothing.""Dad can't you see Bobby? Bobby go near Dad and pat him on his shoulder."Bobby went there and did it.But his father didn't reacted at all. Saket was so shocked. Saket could see Bobby clearly. He wanted his father to see it. Saket was watching Bobby carefully. Bobby was dancing around his home. Saket was so upset. Saket"Dad it is not possible.You have to see him."Saket forced his father to go near Bobby.But it was clear that his father didn't able to see him at all. It was so hard for him to understand every thing. Saket was on verge of crying.He was locating Bobby on every point. Then suddenly he felt frustrated that Bobby was around him.Saket started screaming on him"Go away,You are not real."Bobby kept laughing. Saket got so angry and that he started throwing things on him.It was worst. His parents came running inside. Today even his Mom tried to stop him. But he just wanted that Bobby to vanish. He started to convince his heart that Bobby was not there but he could not able to vanish Bobby.He was running before him like real boy.Saket was getting more and more upset with Bobby's each moment. Saket started crying and screaming at same time. Every thing was worst on each moment. Finally his father gave Saket some water.When he started drinking water on every point,he had same feeling.He went to sleep immediately after having it.
         When Saket woke up next morning,he looked around. No one was there.He was so happy. He felt that it was all just dream.He was on top of world. It looked around then called his father. Saket"Dad Bobby is not there."His father gave forced smile. Saket could sense something was wrong. "What is it Dad?""We are going to psychiatrist today.""But I can't see him now.Bobby is gone.""Come on Saket.Don't act like your Mom . Don't make it worst for me."Saket just looked at his father with shock. Saket didn't said any thing for long time. Then he went to psychiatrist. Saket waited in that line. It was fine for some time. Then he felt some sort of fear inside himself.He remembered psychiatrist's warning.Of course his Mom had schizophrenia and he could have it.It was hereditary. But he hoped that it would not happen.Then he senses it.It was just beginning. Bobby would come back. Saket wanted to forget him.But he knew that it was going to happen. They waited finally their number came. They went inside and on that moment he saw Bobby suddenly he lost his control and started screaming on Bobby.He was abusing to Bobby. Saket  felt that he was screaming in air. But he just didn't want to stop.Finally his father pushed him inside psychiatrist's room who helped him to relax. Then psychiatrist talked to him. Saket felt little relaxed by talking to psychiatrist.He knew one thing now that his life was not normal now. But slowly psychiatrist told him many things.He convinced him and told him about many people who were so famous.But Saket never knew that they had schizophrenia. "But my Mom was not acting properly.""I know but it is so problematic.But she is not taking medicines properly.If you took them then you can stay better."Saket nodded. Somewhere in his heart he was scared but then he looked at his father who seemed as if his age was increased in just few days. Saket knew one thing.He was only hope of his father.He could see Bobby before himself but still he wanted to act normal for his father. He needed to control himself.He just had to keep check on his feeling.He smiled at psychiatrist"I will try my best. My father need me. Doctor can we manage it?""Of course.If you decide then you can do it."Saket smiled from heart. Saket looked so relaxed but inside his heart he was tense. He knew that his life was not normal but he looked at his parents.His Mom needed him.He had to control so then he looked happily at another side.But Boddy was standing there. He decided to ignore him.Bobby was looking so real but still he was false.Now he knew that why did his Mom reacted this way.But he was not going to communicate with Bobby.He knew that he had to do it.Saket "Doctor give me my medicine.I will take them."Psychiatrist smiled and gave them list of medicines. Saket took them. Saket smiled and saw in psychiatrist's eyes then asked" you will help...right..Promise me.""Of course."Then psychiatrist took his hands in hands and patted them."You are brave boy,Just like my son I will  always stand with you."Saket smiled and then he went away with medicine.But he could sense that Bobby was following him.But he had to ignore Bobby after all he was his father's only hope.
