Rich man's son
Pradip was so upset when he saw once again his purse was empty. He was fond of his father but sometimes he began to think they should not have wasted so much money on his treatment. He began to feel so sad. His father was suffering from cancer and every time they kept trying to save him. All their money was wasted. Since from first day they all knew that he was not going to be cured. But his parents never told him that fact. They kept lying. But he understood it from school. He was in school at this time. He sensed that his father was getting worst. He wanted his father to be fine. But he knew that it was not going to happen. He could see that his father was getting worst on every day and his Mom was spending money on his treatment without thinking. In that situation it was not easy to convince her. In fact he was also hoping for miracle. But then nothing worked. Finally his father started screaming due to pain. His father started begging for death. When he was died, they felt as if his wish was completed. Pradip was so upset by all this. But he hoped that after his Dad's death they would lead normal life. But then their financial struggle started. He sensed one thing. His old days were gone. He was never going to lead normal life. His Dad was not coming back and his normal life was not going to come back. He sensed one thing that he needed to accept it. He knew that he must not regret spending money on his father but he was regretting it after his death. They didn't manage to save his Dad and still they took his money. He hated them. Mom kept telling him that they tried. They just took those expenses which they needed to spend on curing of him. But Pradip just didn't understand why did they spend it if they couldn't cure him. Mom was trying to say that they must not give up until end. But he just wished only if they had gave up when he saw his empty purse and his Dad's photo in frame. His Dad was died and their money was gone. It was worst dream for them. He knew that he needed to accept it. But when he looked at his friends who were jumping with joy on every gift from parents. It started to hurt him. Pradip was so upset. Then suddenly he heard knock on his room door. It was his Mom. He noticed strange shy look on her face. He sensed that some thing was strange. But he never really cared for any thing else than money these days. He really needed some. Mom entered in room. He saw a man also followed her. That Man was wearing nice suit. It was clear that his Mom must have brought this man to introduce him to Pradip. He was so shocked when he sensed that his Mom had boyfriend. He was so angry at first thought. But then he saw that this man was rich. He didn't ask for money. But this man saw his empty pocket. Pradip noticed that this man slowly kept few notes on his dressing table. Then that Man said he must be getting late. His Mom " This is Mr. Amar. I want you to meet him." Amar smiled and slowly indicated that money. " Well Pradip I hope you like me." Pradip was so confused. That man was offering him money without embarrassing him. He just needed it. Pradip went to shake hand. Amar hugged him and said it in his ear " Took that money. It is my gift to you as to be Dad. I just wish only if you accept me. But don't tell your Mom. She will hate this." Pradip nodded. He needed some money. He smiled out of tears. He just ran out with that cash. He didn't know that man. He didn't want replacement of his Dad. But he wanted some money. He didn't want to do any thing wrong for it so he felt it was best way to do it. He apologized to his Dad in heart so replacing him so quickly. But he had no option. His Mom needed some one to run their house and he had to accept her decision. He just ran to college. But he was happy in heart. First time he could pay all those debts which he had created by asking money from his friends. Now a days his friends were avoiding him. He could pay them back and every thing would become normal. First time he felt hope of feeling normal finally in life. He thought that he could live normal life now.
Pradip went in college. He was so happy today. Amar had given him enough money to pay back to his friends. He just took that money without counting. As he started approaching his friends he clearly sensed that they were moving back to benches. He finally called. " Hey guys wait. I need to pay back money." Immediately they came with big smile on face. He knew that it was not their mistake. He just kept borrowing and they needed to put stop on it at some point. He smiled towards all of them. He started returning money to them and on that point he decided that he needed Amar to move ahead. But he didn't want to see him in house with his Mom. But he knew that he needed to accept Amar if he wanted to live normal life. He needed that money but he just couldn't accept that thought. He couldn't just let his Mom to go with some other man since he had crisis. But then his Dad was dead and his Mom needed to move on. After all his Mom destroyed every thing just to save Dad so it was wrong to say that she didn't love his Dad. He knew that he must accept it. Then suddenly his friend came near him " So how did you get this money? Rob some bank?" " No I got it from Mom's friend." " My god!! So you are getting a step Dad. Interesting. I like to hear every detail of this. I never met some one who actually had step Dad. I just read in books." " This is not joke." " It is not. Truly? That man gave you cash just like that. You are lucky." " But he is replacing my Dad." " Who is already Dad for so many days and even before that he was just dead for you since he got that cancer. Come on. Your step Dad could be cruel but he is giving you money at beginning. You can use it. If something wrong happen then you can go out of house. You are not small kid." Pradip nodded. This was first time when his purse was full of cash even after paying debts. He needed money. His friend " Be good boy and tell your Mom. That this step Dad was nice man so you accept it or he might leave her." Pradip was confused. Friend " Come on. Hurry up or you will regret for entire life. Be practical. You can't manage without your step Dad." Pradip nodded and called his Mom. Pradip " Amar is nice person..so you can marry him." Mom started laughing. " Thanks ..thanks my son. If you have objected then I just can't say yes to him. If you must accept Amar then only I can move ahead.But you are sure." Pradip was getting irritated. His heart was against it still for his practical benefit he said yes. He didn't want to repeat it again but his friend punched him. " Yes Mom. You can marry him." Then his Mom started chattering about her dreams when he sensed that she was talking about some Pari. " Mom who is Pari?" " Your step sister." Now Pradip wanted to kick his friend for forcing him in this. He never wanted a sister but now he knew that he couldn't back out since he needed that money. He just decided that he would move ahead with tide. " Sure Mom. I like one sister." His friend looked shocked. Pradip knew that he had to accept all so he went in corner and tried to avoid his friend. He didn't want to hurt his Mom now. He knew that once he said yes. He couldn't turn back. But then somewhere in heart he was bored of poverty so he wanted to become rich man's son so he just said yes to every thing. He decided that he must act as per his friend's advice. He smiled and talked sweetly with Mom. " Sure Mom. I will like this Pari too." " So I will call her today on evening." "Sure." Pradip switched off his mobile. " That Amar had a daughter from first marriage." " Oh but it's daughter. She would not interfere in your life. She might take property but still you will get at least some of it. Think this way Pradip. You had nothing after your father's death. Now you have chances of at least getting some thing." Pradip " I know..I know let's go back to class. I don't want to score low in exams." His friend nodded. Pradip didn't like this but he had no option. He decided that he would stay in corner. He would not get too involved in his family.
Pradip was so scared. He just wanted to keep sitting in college on that day. He just didn't want to go home.But he knew that he didn't have any option. He had to go there. He had to meet them. He had decided this himself. He had chosen money so he had to face it. He came near his house. He just wanted to run away. But still he went inside flat. He saw that Amar was sitting with small girl. She was nice and simple girl. She gave him nice smile. But he didn't like it. He began to sense it immediately that this girl was going to interfere in his life too. Pari smiled and said " Dada had came home from college?" " Don't call me Dada?" He said it with anger without even sensing it. Amar looked at him with anger. Pradip smiled " I mean you can call me Pradip. I like it better." Pari smiled. " But I like it. I will call you Dada only. My friend had big brother. She called him with same name." Now Pradip had to nod. He just sensed one thing. He had to do lot of things for money. He just hated it. He never wanted to show emotions for money. He just started to regret his decision but his Mom was going ahead with every planning. He couldn't stop her. He was so upset. He was about to say something when suddenly his friend appeared. His friend Tushar " Hello Auntie." Pradip was so confused. Tushar " You have took away my mobile by mistake. " Pradip was so frustrated. He looked at his mobile. Tushar was right. He took his mobile by mistake. So he proved to all just one thing. He was so careless. He didn't want to start things in this way. He wanted to create different excuses for it when suddenly Amar invited Tushar inside. Amar started talking to him. Amar managed to get friendly with him. Pradip started to feel relax so this incidence was not going to cause trouble to him now. Since Tushar was happy, Amar offered him few tickets of game which he wanted. When Tushar started to return home, one thing was clear. Tushar was not going to hold grudge on Pradip for forcing him to come home and take mobile. In fact when they were on door step. Tushar said " Pradip this man is nice. You must cooperate with your Mom." Pradip nodded. Pradip thought that he must give try to this. Pradip decided that he must not object his Mom. He needed to cooperate with her. He decided that he must had to move ahead in life. He needed to learn act mature and see things in different way in life. His Dad was died. He was not going to come back. His Mom needed some one. His Mom did every thing for his Dad. She needed some one now who would take care of her. He looked at Amar. Amar was okay. He was not trying to dominate him. Pradip just sat on sofa. He decided that he needed some one in house. He managed to tolerate Pari's comment. Pari was jumping with joy. Soon Pari started to show them picture of their banglow. It was really beautiful. They had such wonderful banglow in city. One thing was clear that they were rich. Pradip just didn't understood why did Amar decided to marry his Mom. His Mom was nice looking. But she had one son. Then Pari started telling every one that she wanted mother just like his Mom. Pradip was shocked so this Pari chose his Mom. But any way his Mom was happy. He was happy so he kept smiling. He just nodded to their every plan of marriage. From that day Pradip kept one good artificial smile. Sometimes his Mom doubted it. But then his Mom said that they had to do this. He knew that his Mom was right. They had no option at all. Pradip kept telling his Mom that he was fine. He was relieved when it all was over. He no longer needed to show all that he was happy with his Mom's marriage. When finally his Mom got married, he stopped smiling. He just went in restroom and cried. He just hated idea of giving someone else his father's name.
When Pradip came out of rest room, he started like his normal self. He was no longer laughing. Amar " I think we need to shift in our banglow as soon as possible." Pradip " Mom will go with you. I want to stay in our house." " But Pradip?" " I want to stay there Mom." His Mom was so upset but Amar put hand on her shoulder. Pradip was so upset when Amar did it. One thing was clear. His Mom belonged to this man now. Pradip just started looking away. He didn't want to see them together. Pradip decided that he should avoid them. Pradip " I am going back." His Mom looked so upset. Mom " You said that you are okay with our marriage?" " Mom just give me sometime." Pradip just called one auto. He sat in it. He just went back to his house. He liked to stay there alone. He didn't need any one. He was so happy. He started to settle down. He went in kitchen. He decided that he could cook for dinner. He was not expert in cooking. But he would cook in good way enough. Then he felt so relaxed. When Amar's car entered, he was so upset. Amar " We decided to stay here only." Pradip was shocked now. He couldn't imagine staying in this house with so many people. Pari already started to running in room. Pradip was so angry now. They couldn't just force themselves on him. He knew that Amar married his Mom but he was not his father. He didn't want it. Then he saw Pari entered in his father's room. He started screaming " Get out of my house." He took hold of Pari's hand. Pari started screaming in pain. His Mom started to try to free her from his hand. But it was not easy. Pradip was telling every one to get out of that house. They all ran outside. Then he closed door. He started laughing and crying. He didn't know what he wanted to do. He just wanted to one thing that he wanted that whole house for himself. He just locked door and started crying inside. His voice was so loud that it could be heard from outside. His Mom was trying to convince him. Amar was trying to help her. It was worst situation for his Mom. She sensed that all neighbors were looking towards her with anger. She knew that she did every thing with Pradip's permission but still it seemed as if things were not working properly. She didn't understand why did Pradip started acting this way immediately after marriage. She just kept telling every one. He was happy regarding marriage. Then finally Amar said with anger " This is enough. Look at hand of Pari." She was crying with pain. " I just say one thing. I manage to brought up my daughter properly. But your son? He is disgusting. I am going back with my daughter. Do you want to come with us?" " I will not leave behind my son like that." " Fine." Amar went away with Pari. Pradip's Mom was so confused. She married to a man and immediately her marriage was broken. She just didn't understand. She started crying. She just kept looking at her get up of bride. She just didn't understand why did her son acted this way. She asked him so many times. But he always said that he wanted her to get married. She started screaming " Pradip open the door. Amar is not here. I will not go with him. I will stay with you." Pradip suddenly felt hopeful. Pradip " So he is not going to come back." " No he will not." Pradip started to open door. But he suddenly began to feel scared. He started to feel sure that Amar was standing on other side of door. Pradip " You are lying I am not opening that door." Pradip's Mom was so confused. She kept waiting but Pradip didn't open the door. Finally every neighbor around her started convincing him. But Pradip was not convinced. His Mom " I just don't understand. He said yes to our marriage." " Stop lying. He must be against it." " No..no.." Then she looked around. She saw old Kaki who was there when Pradip decided to go for shopping. " Kaki tell them." Kaki nodded. " She is telling truth. He lied to us." " But why?" " I think he is having some attack." " Attack?" " Such things happen after sudden changes. I feel we might call Doctor." Pradip's Mom was confused. " Doctor?" "Yes." Every one agreed then that neighbor called Doctor. Pradip's Mom kept talking to Pradip. Pradip was talking from other side. He was making many accusations against Amar which was totally wrong. Pradip's Mom was getting sure step by step that her son was starting to loose his mind. She started to cry slowly.
When Psychiatrist was called, he was confused. He didn't understand what was happening. Slowly Pradip's Mom told him every thing. Psychiatrist " Let me come in. What happened?" " Oh Amar finally you are here. You want to throw me out. You are going to abuse me now then you will beat me with stick." Pradip's Mom intervened " Amar never did that. He just went away as soon as Pradip told him to go. He never tried to hurt him. In fact Pradip hurt him by first agreeing to marriage and then disagreeing like this." Pradip " So you started supporting him." Pradip started laughing. " I know it all very well. You want me out of your way." " Why did I want such a thing? Are you out of your mind?" " Not you Mom. You are stupid. That's why you are ready to spend your so much money on Dad when he was not going to survive. You never understand when you need to move ahead with things." Pradip was talking in strange way. Psychiatrist " Why don't you open door then we can discuss it properly?" " No way. I know Amar is standing there." Pradip's Mom nodded negatively. Pradip's Mom " He is gone. Why don't you believe me Pradip? I never lied to you." Pradip started laughing again. Pradip " Really? You lied when Dad was sick. You said that he was going to be okay. You lied to me. You never told me that you are going out with Amar. Did you told me?" " But I never planned to marry him without your consent." " Wow so you feel you did big favor to me by doing this?" Pradip's Mom was confused. Doctor " He is not going to open door. Do you have key?" " Yes but he might hurt himself." "Trust me." Then Pradip's Mom opened door. Before Pradip could react, Doctor injected him. Pradip slowly fall on floor. Psychiatrist " Your son is suffering from post traumatic symptoms. It happened after shock or tragedy." " But he agreed to this marriage." " This is not about your marriage. In fact I suggest that I like to talk with your husband." " Amar?" "Yes. I need to admit your son in hospital. Will you call him?" " Sure." She called Amar who took mobile immediately. Amar " Sorry I have overreacted." " Listen to me. I need to admit Pradip in hospital." " Why?" Then psychiatrist took phone. He explained Amar that Pradip was having mental trouble since his father's death. According to psychiatrist's guess he wanted money but he couldn't get it so in one side of heart he hated his Dad for wasting it on other side he loved his Dad so he was confused. Then his Dad died. He wanted to live normal life but he still didn't have money so psychiatrist felt that he must had agreed to marriage just for money. That lead to his mental break down. Amar " So what I suppose to do?" " Take your wife with you? Admit your son in mental institution but tell world that he was upset regarding marriage so you sent him in hostel. Psychiatrist was away from every one. He made sure that no one could hear it. Amar " Thanks." Then Psychiatrist came back and he lied before people. Psychiatrist " This is just low blood pressure due to tension. We shall take him to hospital. He will be fine. But I feel he need time to adjust so send him somewhere." One neighbor " Yes. Hostel will be better. There he can have freedom." " Yes you are married now. Frankly you need money so don't left Amar." Kaki " Marriage is not joke. You must stay with Amar." Pradip's Mom nodded. So they pretended to world. Pradip's Mom was crying slowly. When she reached in hospital, Amar and Pari were waiting for her. Pari hugged her. Pari " Mom don't leave me." Pradip's Mom felt that she must not cheat Pari for Pradip. " No I will not." Then Psychiatrist smiled and told Pari " Don't worry. Just give some time your brother will be fine then he will stay with you too." Pari and Amar smiled. They all were so glad since they just wanted every thing to be normal. They wanted a happy family and that psychiatrist promised it to them. But all of them were crying slowly when Psychiatrist took Pradip inside hospital. Pradip's Mom " Only if I sensed this before.." Amar " Stop it. Psychiatrist said he would be fine so don't cry." Then they all turned back with one hope from mind that one day they would took Pradip with them and he would be perfect.
The End
Pradip was so upset when he saw once again his purse was empty. He was fond of his father but sometimes he began to think they should not have wasted so much money on his treatment. He began to feel so sad. His father was suffering from cancer and every time they kept trying to save him. All their money was wasted. Since from first day they all knew that he was not going to be cured. But his parents never told him that fact. They kept lying. But he understood it from school. He was in school at this time.

His Mom belonged to this man now. Pradip just started looking away. He didn't want to see them together. Pradip decided that he should avoid them. Pradip " I am going back." His Mom looked so upset. Mom " You said that you are okay with our marriage?" " Mom just give me sometime." Pradip just called one auto. He sat in it. He just went back to his house. He liked to stay there alone. He didn't need any one. He was so happy. He started to settle down. He went in kitchen. He decided that he could cook for dinner. He was not expert in cooking. But he would cook in good way enough. Then he felt so relaxed. When Amar's car entered, he was so upset. Amar " We decided to stay here only." Pradip was shocked now. He couldn't imagine staying in this house with so many people. Pari already started to running in room. Pradip was so angry now. They couldn't just force themselves on him. He knew that Amar married his Mom but he was not his father. He didn't want it. Then he saw Pari entered in his father's room. He started screaming " Get out of my house." He took hold of Pari's hand. Pari started screaming in pain. His Mom started to try to free her from his hand. But it was not easy. Pradip was telling every one to get out of that house. They all ran outside. Then he closed door. He started laughing and crying. He didn't know what he wanted to do. He just wanted to one thing that he wanted that whole house for himself. He just locked door and started crying inside. His voice was so loud that it could be heard from outside. His Mom was trying to convince him. Amar was trying to help her. It was worst situation for his Mom. She sensed that all neighbors were looking towards her with anger. She knew that she did every thing with Pradip's permission but still it seemed as if things were not working properly. She didn't understand why did Pradip started acting this way immediately after marriage. She just kept telling every one. He was happy regarding marriage. Then finally Amar said with anger " This is enough. Look at hand of Pari." She was crying with pain. " I just say one thing. I manage to brought up my daughter properly. But your son? He is disgusting. I am going back with my daughter. Do you want to come with us?" " I will not leave behind my son like that." " Fine." Amar went away with Pari. Pradip's Mom was so confused. She married to a man and immediately her marriage was broken. She just didn't understand. She started crying. She just kept looking at her get up of bride. She just didn't understand why did her son acted this way. She asked him so many times. But he always said that he wanted her to get married. She started screaming " Pradip open the door. Amar is not here. I will not go with him. I will stay with you." Pradip suddenly felt hopeful. Pradip " So he is not going to come back." " No he will not." Pradip started to open door. But he suddenly began to feel scared. He started to feel sure that Amar was standing on other side of door. Pradip " You are lying I am not opening that door." Pradip's Mom was so confused. She kept waiting but Pradip didn't open the door. Finally every neighbor around her started convincing him. But Pradip was not convinced. His Mom " I just don't understand. He said yes to our marriage." " Stop lying. He must be against it." " No..no.." Then she looked around. She saw old Kaki who was there when Pradip decided to go for shopping. " Kaki tell them." Kaki nodded. " She is telling truth. He lied to us." " But why?" " I think he is having some attack." " Attack?" " Such things happen after sudden changes. I feel we might call Doctor." Pradip's Mom was confused. " Doctor?" "Yes." Every one agreed then that neighbor called Doctor. Pradip's Mom kept talking to Pradip. Pradip was talking from other side. He was making many accusations against Amar which was totally wrong. Pradip's Mom was getting sure step by step that her son was starting to loose his mind. She started to cry slowly.
When Psychiatrist was called, he was confused. He didn't understand what was happening. Slowly Pradip's Mom told him every thing. Psychiatrist " Let me come in. What happened?" " Oh Amar finally you are here. You want to throw me out. You are going to abuse me now then you will beat me with stick." Pradip's Mom intervened " Amar never did that. He just went away as soon as Pradip told him to go. He never tried to hurt him. In fact Pradip hurt him by first agreeing to marriage and then disagreeing like this." Pradip " So you started supporting him." Pradip started laughing. " I know it all very well. You want me out of your way." " Why did I want such a thing? Are you out of your mind?" " Not you Mom. You are stupid. That's why you are ready to spend your so much money on Dad when he was not going to survive. You never understand when you need to move ahead with things." Pradip was talking in strange way. Psychiatrist " Why don't you open door then we can discuss it properly?" " No way. I know Amar is standing there." Pradip's Mom nodded negatively. Pradip's Mom " He is gone. Why don't you believe me Pradip? I never lied to you." Pradip started laughing again. Pradip " Really? You lied when Dad was sick. You said that he was going to be okay. You lied to me. You never told me that you are going out with Amar. Did you told me?" " But I never planned to marry him without your consent." " Wow so you feel you did big favor to me by doing this?" Pradip's Mom was confused. Doctor " He is not going to open door. Do you have key?" " Yes but he might hurt himself." "Trust me." Then Pradip's Mom opened door. Before Pradip could react, Doctor injected him. Pradip slowly fall on floor. Psychiatrist " Your son is suffering from post traumatic symptoms. It happened after shock or tragedy." " But he agreed to this marriage." " This is not about your marriage. In fact I suggest that I like to talk with your husband." " Amar?" "Yes. I need to admit your son in hospital. Will you call him?" " Sure." She called Amar who took mobile immediately. Amar " Sorry I have overreacted." " Listen to me. I need to admit Pradip in hospital." " Why?" Then psychiatrist took phone. He explained Amar that Pradip was having mental trouble since his father's death. According to psychiatrist's guess he wanted money but he couldn't get it so in one side of heart he hated his Dad for wasting it on other side he loved his Dad so he was confused. Then his Dad died. He wanted to live normal life but he still didn't have money so psychiatrist felt that he must had agreed to marriage just for money. That lead to his mental break down. Amar " So what I suppose to do?" " Take your wife with you? Admit your son in mental institution but tell world that he was upset regarding marriage so you sent him in hostel. Psychiatrist was away from every one. He made sure that no one could hear it. Amar " Thanks." Then Psychiatrist came back and he lied before people. Psychiatrist " This is just low blood pressure due to tension. We shall take him to hospital. He will be fine. But I feel he need time to adjust so send him somewhere." One neighbor " Yes. Hostel will be better. There he can have freedom." " Yes you are married now. Frankly you need money so don't left Amar." Kaki " Marriage is not joke. You must stay with Amar." Pradip's Mom nodded. So they pretended to world. Pradip's Mom was crying slowly. When she reached in hospital, Amar and Pari were waiting for her. Pari hugged her. Pari " Mom don't leave me." Pradip's Mom felt that she must not cheat Pari for Pradip. " No I will not." Then Psychiatrist smiled and told Pari " Don't worry. Just give some time your brother will be fine then he will stay with you too." Pari and Amar smiled. They all were so glad since they just wanted every thing to be normal. They wanted a happy family and that psychiatrist promised it to them. But all of them were crying slowly when Psychiatrist took Pradip inside hospital. Pradip's Mom " Only if I sensed this before.." Amar " Stop it. Psychiatrist said he would be fine so don't cry." Then they all turned back with one hope from mind that one day they would took Pradip with them and he would be perfect.
The End
