Storm in life
Wind was strongly making noises on window Isha came out. She was so excited. She never saw a storm. Before she used to stay in area where there were never storms. Many times there were news of storms but there was never actual storm. She was excited when her daughter came running out. Her daughter Tina was just angel. She always loved playing and reading books. But today she was excited about storm too. Tina " Mom can I sit in window to watch it?" Isha smiled. " No honey it will be risky. Go in your room." " But Mom I want to watch storm." " No. I don't want you to watch it." "Then I am watching cartoon." Isha was so confused. She was not sure even using TV was wise. Isha decided that watching storm was better. Still Isha tried to give another option to Tina. " Honey why don't you play with Dolls?" Tina screamed " No I am watching cartoon." Isha knew that she couldn't control her daughter. But then she decided that she might told her everything in right way to convince her. Isha sat near Tina. " Honey storm is risky thing. Lightning might enter through TV." Tina was about to start TV but she stopped. Tina got Isha's point. Tina " Okay then I will sit in hall with you." Isha nodded. " That's like good girl." Tina smiled. Tina ran inside room to get dolls. Isha was so happy. Her daughter was playing peacefully in hall. Everything was perfect. Isha started looking outside. Then she decided that it might be risky so she closed everything in proper way. She sat beside her daughter. Soon she started to hear loud screams and noises of wind. She began to hear lightning. She was so scared. She began to feel as if her entire house was moving. She was excited at beginning but now she was scared. Her excitement was totally replaced by her fear. It was so horrible. It seemed as if their entire house was shaking. She looked around. Then she noticed her lights. Something was wrong with them. She began to sense that something was not right. Before she could say anything. Suddenly light went out. She sensed things were falling. It was total darkness. She knew her daughter was sitting there before her. She ran to take hold of her daughter. She just hear her scream. She was in total darkness. She kept screaming but she felt so scared. Then she suddenly felt something. She fall on it. She sensed something wet on her hand. She was confused. Then she began to understand her hand were full of blood. She started to feel that she must had fallen on her small daughter. She began to touch things. She began to feel things but she didn't understand what was that thing. She started to feel scared. She began to think what if she had stepped on her little daughter and killed her by her feet. She started to shiver. She began to scream and cry like mad woman. She didn't stop until finally her neighbor didn't touch her. She looked around in darkness. She screamed " I killed my daughter.. I killed Tina." Then suddenly she heard faint voice " Mom where are you?" It seemed like far away voice. Suddenly neighbour started his flash light. They could see faint shadows in darkness now. Isha looked down. She could see blood. She screamed " Save my daughter." But someone told her whose face she couldn't see in darkness " This is not your daughter. This is some body of animal came inside due to wind." Isha " But I locked everything." " Your door is broken due to storm some tree fall down on it. You must have forgotten to cut that tree." Then they once again heard voice of crying which was calling her. " This is Tina's voice." " Ya but I think it is coming from far away point." Isha was so confused. She started to look at her hand. They were full of blood. It was not her daughter's blood but she was so scared. It was easily possible that next time it might be her daughter. She was so scared. She stood up on her injured leg. She was falling down but she didn't stop. Her neighbor hold her. " Stop here. We will bring your daughter here." " No..no I am coming." "Trust us. It take just few seconds." Soon she sensed that she couldn't walk and she wanted Tina to be with her quickly. She sat down. She kept holding breathe. She kept saying prayers. She wanted her daughter to be safe and unharmed. She looked at her mobile. It was useless since entire range was gone. She started cursing it. It supposed to work in emergencies and it was emergency. But it became just garbage on important time. She took breathe of relief when she sensed Tina near her hand. Tina was crying. " Are you hurt honey?" " No Mom but you are hurt. Your feet is bent in strange way." She sensed for first time she was hurt. It was paining so much .She wanted to scream. Her neighbor "My God you need Doctor." " Call ambulance." They waited in that darkness while she kept screaming due to pain. She didn't want to scare Tina but she couldn't stop herself. Finally ambulance came. They injected something to her and then she fall asleep. When she woke up, she was sleeping on bed of hospital. Her leg was already in plaster. She looked around. Mohan was sleeping on chair. She sensed that he had came in hospital. " Mohan where is Tina?" " Relax. She is with my Mom. No need to worry." She took breathe of relief. Her mother-in-law was nice lady. Mohan " You must take rest now." She nodded and went to sleep.
After that day Isha needed to take lot of troubles to cure herself. It was worst day for her. She wanted to do things fast and many times Tina needed to work in home. Tina didn't complaint at beginning but then she began to get tired of it. It was not easy for her. She was so happy when she finally began to move normally. She was happy about it. She was moving around house with little pain. Soon she began to move easily around house. She started to purchase vegetables. She began to do necessary things like purchasing things for household. Mohan have no longer burden by it and he was happy about it. He was so pleased with it when he told him that she managed to buy vegetable that he wanted to dance with her. But she objected and started laughing. She didn't want to break her leg again. She was so happy. Every thing was back to normal. It seemed as if they needed to do lots of repairs. Mohan managed to get door done before her returning. It was her first desire when she managed to talk him in hospital. She was so scared that someone might steal something from house. He told her many times that their security guard was watching it. But she felt that security guard was useless before robbers. He started laughing at mention of robber. He said that robber didn't rob poor people like them. He started to look so confused when she started to discuss about cooking so they had to order everything from outside until she didn't become well. Now finally she was once again properly working. She was so happy to take hold of her house properly. She didn't want maids doing everything for her. She wanted to do it with her own hand. She didn't want to keep nurse but she didn't have option. She didn't even like that nurse's attitude. She just wanted to run away as soon as possible. She kept scaring Tina. She was so happy when she managed to stop that nurse. She had one maid but she didn't keep cook. She didn't like their style of cooking so she kept ordering lunch from simple household lady. It was not tasty but it was healthy. But now she was cooking again. She looked around her house. It was normal again. They needed to do lot of repairs but everything was fine now. She was so happy then it was over. But then suddenly she sensed one fear. She began to feel scared about storm.She began to look at weather report every day. It was so wrong. She knew that nature was creator. But it could destroy her this way was horrible thought. She didn't want to think about nature that way but when she looked out of window. She saw sky. She saw white clouds in blue sky with nice sun but still she sensed fear. She began to think how did it all changed in few moments. But she was warned about storm. She consoled herself. She was warned on that time so if something happened today they would warn her again. She needed to understand that it wouldn't happen suddenly. Then she felt scared. She didn't have much knowledge about storms. She needed to study them. She went on internet. She started to searching about storms. She began to study them in details. She began to watch every picture of storm. It was hurting her heart when she saw it carefully. She couldn't understand which was her storm. She was searching for that storm which entered in her house. Soon she found it. It was horrible but she learned another thing. Any storm could go anywhere. Person couldn't specify place of a storm. She started to shiver with fear. She sensed one thing that she couldn't guess what would happen next. She began to feel so scared. She looked out of window. She began to look carefully at sky. She sensed that there were small black cloud. She began to shiver. She sensed that nature was not friend of human as she hoped. She sensed that it had enemy inside. She began to think nature could only kill human. She began to sense that it was right. Nature managed to kill so many people. She started to count people than who died out of natural causes. Soon she sensed they are more numbers were died due to natural cause. It was not just storm but many other causes of nature which could kill person. She was so shocked to hear it. She began to close every window carefully. She started to learn about every precaution. She began to change every thing according to need of situation. She began to create every change which would make everything in right way. She started to create new changes for every need of crisis. She began to order every thing on internet. She started to search every thing in limited budget. It was hard but she would decided to do according to safety precautions. She decided that she would change costly thing step by step. She knew that Mohan would not mind. He was scared too. When she started to create changes, Tina came running. Tina " Mom why are you closing windows like that?" " To avoid storm wind." " But day is clear." " I know honey but storm can come on any time." Tina started to look scared. Tina " But Mom this will bring dark in house." " But it will stop wind." Tina was not happy about it. She wanted light and sunshine in house but she was so scared of wind so she went inside. Tina went inside her room. Tina was sad about everything. She wanted to enjoy everything in house when sunshine was there. She was feeling so happy in that sunlight. She was not feeling happy inside her house any more. Tina wanted to open door. But then she began to remember that storm again. She started feel sorrows about her Mom's pain. She began to sense that she must not insist on keeping open window. She must understood fear of her Mom. She decided that she needed to adjust with those closed window. But somewhere in her heart she felt that this storm might not return. Her neighbors were no longer scared of it.
When Mohan came from office, he was shocked to see his home. It was totally closed. Windows were shut down in strange way. He began to feel that Isha was doing little bit too much. When he entered, he asked her " Why did you close those windows?" " Since I wanted to stop storm from coming." " But storm didn't come in our area that frequently." Isha " But you can't guess time of that storm. And this interior is not that bad." " No..no it's okay. After all you are staying inside house for more time." But Tina came out with sad face. " But Dad I want sunlight in house." Isha gave her angry look. Mohan looked around. Tina was right that house was too dark. Mohan " But Isha kids needed little bit sunlight. " Isha looked so upset and scared. Isha " I can't take risk of storm. You know very well what storm did to me last time. It could have killed Tina..." " Stop..stop listen to me. I feel we can keep just Tina's window open. No one sleep in that bedroom in night. Tina always sleep in our room and during daytime you can take care of her if something happen." Isha smiled. Tina "But I am going to sleep in my room soon.!!" Isha " Fine honey. But now you are sleeping with us so we can open windows of your room. Isha smiled. She took out every protection of that room. She felt strange fear. She screamed " But you must keep that door closed during night." Tina nodded. So she managed to let sunlight enter in just that room of house. At night when Mohan went in his bedroom. he didn't sense much difference since it had Air conditioner. Isha came near him and kept his mobile away from him. Mohan screamed " What if I get some message stop this rubbish about storm. I need it." " No need to keep it near pillow. I will keep it on that table. It is not far away you can hear it from there." She said it in much sweet way that he couldn't able to deny it. He nodded. " But don't blame me for disturbing sleep. " She nodded. Then Tina once again came back to their room. Tina always claimed that she would sleep in her bedroom but she never did it. They all slept peacefully. Next day was normal. Slowly Tina got used to that dark interior. She stopped complaining every thing was just fine. One day Isha was cooking when she received call from her sister. Her sister " My daughter is going to get married." Isha felt happy but then she felt fear from her soul. She needed to go for it. She looked out. It was so scary. She looked out of her window. She felt tense. She didn't want to go out. Her sister " What happened?" " Nothing. I just felt that it might rain today." " Rain!! But I thought weather is clear." " Yes yes it is." Isha was confuse since she couldn't able to see anything from those closed windows. Still she said " Yes..yes it is clear." She lied. But she didn't want to tell full truth to her sister. "Forget it. I am coming to give you invitation is it okay?" Isha was more confuse now. She needed to hide it from her sister. She knew that her interior was normal but still she felt strange need of hiding it from her. She felt so frustrated. Her sister " Are you going somewhere?" " No..no I was just confuse since I don't know you are in my city." " I am not in your city. I am not going to come. My husband is coming." Isha was relaxed since she knew her brother-in-law would never question about her choice of interior. She smiled " I am in home." She managed to get everything ready in perfect way. She cooked nice snacks for her brother-in-law. It was arranged in perfect way. She started to arrange every thing in right way. She began to get ready. All was perfect. Then her door bell rang. She opened door with smile. But her brother-in-law was looking tense. Her brother-in-law " Are you going to have storm?" Isha started shaking like feather. " Storm who told you?" Her brother-in-law looked scared. " Relax why are you looking so pale? I just say because you took those precautions." Isha smiled " ohhhh it's just old precautions. I forgot to remove. Come in." She felt normal again. That evening went in perfect way. She was just tense about one thing. She needed an excuse to avoid her niece's wedding. She didn't want to risk picnic in that weather. She knew people were calling it clear but her sense was telling it would harm every one soon. She was sensing it was going to change everything. She knew that she was not going to go out in that weather. She began to dial number to Mohan. Mohan took her call " What happened?" " My niece is getting married." " Great what date? I will take leave on that time." Isha was so nervous. She didn't want to go. She thought that Mohan might find some excuse. But now she sensed that he was not going to provide any. " No need to hurry up. We need to check about storm." " Storm? Storm is coming. No one told me." Then he started to talk with others. He kept chatting for sometime while she kept screaming his name to tell him that she was just talking about risk of storm. Then he came on mobile " Storm is not coming it's rumour. Send me date and time. I will book tickets." " Okay." Her okay was like agreeing to sign suicide note. But Mohan was too busy to sense it so he just said " Bye." Then she opened invitation with heavy heart. She looked at date and she suddenly got idea. She could change date little bit such things always kept happening. She could make one silly mistake. She smiled and wrote date 20 instead of 2. She smiled with relief. Every thing happened with perfect way. She messaged it to Mohan and then called her sister. She showed full interest in marriage this time. She didn't want any one to suspect.
Mohan was busy in his work when he got call from Isha's brother-in-law. Brother-in-law " I called you about marriage." " I know Isha called me. I am going to book air tickets.." " Actually I am at airport I am booking tickets for my relatives. Do you want me to book tickets for you?" " But how could I get them?" " I am coming near your office I will drop them." Mohan smiled" Just great. I needed that help." " I know you need to cover your work before leave." " You know all." " Yes we sail in same ship." They laughed then it was decided that tickets would be delivered to watch man. Mohan said he would do money transfer. Mohan was happy that his time was saved. He saw Isha's message but he ignored it. He didn't need it now. He just waited. Then watchman brought tickets. He took them and thanked. Then he went back to work. He needed to complete it as fast as possible. He began to feel so happy. He needed a vacation and he got it. He needed air. His office and his house both were so closed. He began to feel he had to convince Isha to let some air enter in house. He didn't like it. After all storms were not every day occurrence for them. He needed to stay away from storm but he needed even wind in his house. It was totally strange to stay that way. He didn't want Tina to develop that habit. A small girl needed fresh air in house and he decided that he would talk with Isha on that day only. When he came home, he started removing covers of windows. Isha was inside. She began to sense touch of wind and light also began to come. She started to shiver. She began to feel that storm was entering in house. She started to sense fear. Her heart beats started to increase. She started to feel breathless. She began to see different horrible shadows. She began to scream loudly. Slowly whole world around her started to move in circles. She began to feel her legs were so weak like butter. She began to fall on ground. Mohan was shocked to hear that loud scream. He came running in kitchen. Isha was fainted on floor. He started to try to wake her up. But she didn't. Finally he called Doctor who suggested few methods and told him that he was coming. After trying that method she finally woke up. But she started to talking about storm like mad person. He tried hard to convince her that storm was not coming. Finally Doctor came and injected her then she went to sleep. Doctor " What happened? Why did you keep your house closed like that? You are creating bad atmosphere for her. You are increasing her fear of storm." " I don't do it. Actually I was removing it when she started screaming." Doctor looked around " She did all by herself?!!" " And what were you doing entire time? Sleeping in bed?" " I was in office." Doctor looked so frustrated by his simple answer. Doctor " I mean don't you feel something was wrong with her?" " But she looked normal." " In which way? She locked herself in house. Did she go out?" " Yes. She go out for groceries." Then Doctor looked more angry. Doctor" I saw groceries are available just on corner." Mohan nodded. " So you call it going out?" Mohan was so confused. But then he remembered about marriage. " We are going out on marriage soon. I have booked Air tickets." Doctor smiled. " Great take her outside. She needed air." Mohan smiled. He sat near Isha on bed. When Isha woke up, he gave pleasant smile to her. But she started shivering. Isha " Storm managed to destroy all protection of window." " No I have removed it." She started screaming on him. " Close it. Close it." He was so confused now. Mohan" But Doctor said we must keep them open!!" Isha just stopped talking. " When Doctor came?" " Few moments ago remember you fainted in kitchen then woke up started talking about storm." She looked totally confused. " I am confused. It is happening due to those open windows. Just close them." " We can't. Doctor said we need to get some air." Then he finally asked " Did you go out to buy groceries?" " No. It was too heavy. Grocery seller bring it at home." Mohan was shocked. " Did you ever go out of house?" Isha looked nervous. " I go out when needed." " When last time you went out?" Isha looked confused. Then she looked angry. " I am not criminal. Don't interrogate me like one." She once again fall on bed and began to pretend she was sleeping. Mohan didn't say anything. He sensed argument was useless. When he started to go out,she screamed " Close that door I don't want wind to enter in house. You managed to double my work now I have to close windows." Mohan was shocked nothing came out of his lips. He just went out and started searching for Doctor's number. He knew Isha needed help. Then he saw her message. He knew it was useless but he located date. It was wrong. Tickets had different date. He was shocked. Suddenly every thing began to look scary. He called Doctor. Doctor " I am giving you number of psychiatrist. Take her as soon as possible. She would not agree willingly. You have to force her otherwise she could become mad one day. She would never left house and keep screaming." Mohan saw a mad lady in neighbourhood when he was child. He started shivering with fear. Then he began to cry that storm managed to destroy his life. Soon he controlled himself. He looked at watch. He sensed soon Tina was going to come. He didn't want her to see all this he started planning way to keep his daughter out of this. He didn't want any image of her troubled mother before Tina's eyes. He controlled his sorrows and started thinking as father.
Mohan started thinking different ways in which he could avoid Tina. First he thought about his parents but he felt Tina didn't enjoy staying there again and again. Tina would question him this time why he was sending her off like that again. After all Tina was going to skip her school. Then he suddenly saw tickets. He smiled sending his daughter where wedding was going to take place was perfect solution. She could go there happily. He called Isha's sister and told her every thing. Isha's sister" you can send her with Ravi. I will handle every thing. Every one would like to have Tina here. When she is returning from school?" " In half an hour. " " Then pack her clothes send her. I will manage just take care of Isha. She was talking in strange way on phone too." Mohan relaxed little bit. Then he took out small bag. It was hard to understand which clothes needed to be packed. But he slowly made list and managed to do. Then he wrote everything on paper and decided to give it to Tina since she needed to find all. He just prayed to God that Tina should say yes willingly. Ravi came before Tina. Ravi bought big doll with him. Ravi" This should act as incentive for coming." Mohan nodded. He knew that it was going to be hard for them. Then Isha came out. Isha looked at Ravi with confused expression. Ravi smiled " I came to give this ticket." Isha started to look pale. She sensed that her plan was destroyed. She took hold of chair to steady her feet. Ravi " Are you alright?" Isha gave weak smile. " I am fine." Then she noticed bag. " Who is going out in this storm?" " Storm? Weather is perfect there is not any verdict about storm and Tina was going out with Ravi." Isha looked more pale. Isha " You can't do that to me. Don't take away my daughter." She started crying loudly. Ravi was shocked. But Mohan forced bag in his hand and said " I will call watchman take away Tina from gate." Ravi nodded. Isha tried to stop him. Mohan took hold of her. Isha " You will kill our daughter." " No body is killing her. She is going to stay with auntie and enjoy her time." Mohan's determination managed to weak her argument. Mohan " And you are going to Doctor with me." She smiled " Nice. You must call Doctor." " I am not going to call Doctor you are going to visit him." " No I am not going to go out of this house." " Why?" " I am sick. I can't walk." " Fine. I will take you in arms." She started laughing. " Stop talking in that romantic style you can't manage to carry my weight." " Fine I will call Doctor and ambulance." Isha started to shiver and crying. Mohan " Listen to me. Just get dressed I will call taxi. You just need to go out and sit in Taxi." She nodded. He booked Taxi. He waited. Isha came out dressed in strange way. She dressed in such way that nothing could touch her body. Her entire body was hidden from sunlight and air. She sat in Taxi while looking scared at everything. She kept holding Mohan's hand on every touch of wind. Taxi driver looked strange way but he didn't ask anything. Mohan took breathe of relief since it was going to be hard to answer him. When they sat in clinic, she took breathe of relief. Then she called her sister and kept discussing weather with her. It was so frustrating. Mohan wanted to scream on her. He wanted to tell her. Weather was fine. She was not fine. But he controlled himself. He began to look outside. Soon sun started to set. In few hours his life was changed or he faced that change which was happened long time ago. Finally their number came. They went inside. Psychiatrist have nice smile to them. Then he began to talk with Isha. She told him everything. He looked relaxed. " Your wife is suffering post traumatic symptoms due to which she developed Astraphobia it is specific phobia but then she did too research on it so it turned in worst way. She began to feel every wind is storm." " But Doctor any wind can turn in storm. Let me show you." She started searching something on internet then she told name of some great person who said storm could happen anywhere. Psychiatrist smiled " Show it to me. Let's discuss it." Then they started to talk slowly Mohan sensed Psychiatrist was reducing her fears . He took breathe of relief. He started his Android and began to work on it. After all nothing was free so he had to work hard to pay for all. He hoped from heart at least Tina was enjoying herself. He went out of room and called her but his hopes shattered when she started crying on phone. She wanted to come back. She was alone there every one was busy in marriage preparation. He felt more frustrated but then when he came back Psychiatrist asked " Why did you send your daughter away?" " I thought this might effect her." " You did wrong thing . Your wife is not that sick. This is small trouble it will be solved. Don't pack and send away daughter like that it will create bad effect on all bring her back." Isha smiled. Psychiatrist " Isha promised me. She will listen to me. Bring Tina back." Mohan smiled and nodded. " I need to go there to bring her back." Isha looked scared. Psychiatrist " I got better idea. Let her stay for week then you both can join her." " But Doctor.." " Do you want to keep your crying daughter there." Isha " No I will go." Psychiatrist smiled. When she went out with nurse for physical check up. Psychiatrist told Mohan. " I give instructions take her on journey. I feel she will manage." He smiled. He called Tina and told her that he would come next week. Tina agreed since she made friendship with few kids so she could stay for a week. Mohan took breathe of relief. He hoped from heart this storm would vanish soon out of his life.
The End
Wind was strongly making noises on window Isha came out. She was so excited. She never saw a storm. Before she used to stay in area where there were never storms. Many times there were news of storms but there was never actual storm. She was excited when her daughter came running out. Her daughter Tina was just angel. She always loved playing and reading books. But today she was excited about storm too. Tina " Mom can I sit in window to watch it?" Isha smiled. " No honey it will be risky. Go in your room." " But Mom I want to watch storm." " No. I don't want you to watch it." "Then I am watching cartoon." Isha was so confused. She was not sure even using TV was wise. Isha decided that watching storm was better. Still Isha tried to give another option to Tina. " Honey why don't you play with Dolls?" Tina screamed " No I am watching cartoon." Isha knew that she couldn't control her daughter. But then she decided that she might told her everything in right way to convince her. Isha sat near Tina. " Honey storm is risky thing. Lightning might enter through TV." Tina was about to start TV but she stopped. Tina got Isha's point. Tina " Okay then I will sit in hall with you." Isha nodded. " That's like good girl." Tina smiled. Tina ran inside room to get dolls. Isha was so happy. Her daughter was playing peacefully in hall. Everything was perfect. Isha started looking outside. Then she decided that it might be risky so she closed everything in proper way. She sat beside her daughter. Soon she started to hear loud screams and noises of wind. She began to hear lightning. She was so scared. She began to feel as if her entire house was moving. She was excited at beginning but now she was scared. Her excitement was totally replaced by her fear. It was so horrible. It seemed as if their entire house was shaking. She looked around. Then she noticed her lights. Something was wrong with them. She began to sense that something was not right. Before she could say anything. Suddenly light went out. She sensed things were falling. It was total darkness. She knew her daughter was sitting there before her. She ran to take hold of her daughter. She just hear her scream. She was in total darkness. She kept screaming but she felt so scared. Then she suddenly felt something. She fall on it. She sensed something wet on her hand. She was confused. Then she began to understand her hand were full of blood. She started to feel that she must had fallen on her small daughter. She began to touch things. She began to feel things but she didn't understand what was that thing. She started to feel scared. She began to think what if she had stepped on her little daughter and killed her by her feet. She started to shiver. She began to scream and cry like mad woman. She didn't stop until finally her neighbor didn't touch her. She looked around in darkness. She screamed " I killed my daughter.. I killed Tina." Then suddenly she heard faint voice " Mom where are you?" It seemed like far away voice. Suddenly neighbour started his flash light. They could see faint shadows in darkness now. Isha looked down. She could see blood. She screamed " Save my daughter." But someone told her whose face she couldn't see in darkness " This is not your daughter. This is some body of animal came inside due to wind." Isha " But I locked everything." " Your door is broken due to storm some tree fall down on it. You must have forgotten to cut that tree." Then they once again heard voice of crying which was calling her. " This is Tina's voice." " Ya but I think it is coming from far away point." Isha was so confused. She started to look at her hand. They were full of blood. It was not her daughter's blood but she was so scared. It was easily possible that next time it might be her daughter. She was so scared. She stood up on her injured leg. She was falling down but she didn't stop. Her neighbor hold her. " Stop here. We will bring your daughter here." " No..no I am coming." "Trust us. It take just few seconds." Soon she sensed that she couldn't walk and she wanted Tina to be with her quickly. She sat down. She kept holding breathe. She kept saying prayers. She wanted her daughter to be safe and unharmed. She looked at her mobile. It was useless since entire range was gone. She started cursing it. It supposed to work in emergencies and it was emergency. But it became just garbage on important time. She took breathe of relief when she sensed Tina near her hand. Tina was crying. " Are you hurt honey?" " No Mom but you are hurt. Your feet is bent in strange way." She sensed for first time she was hurt. It was paining so much .She wanted to scream. Her neighbor "My God you need Doctor." " Call ambulance." They waited in that darkness while she kept screaming due to pain. She didn't want to scare Tina but she couldn't stop herself. Finally ambulance came. They injected something to her and then she fall asleep. When she woke up, she was sleeping on bed of hospital. Her leg was already in plaster. She looked around. Mohan was sleeping on chair. She sensed that he had came in hospital. " Mohan where is Tina?" " Relax. She is with my Mom. No need to worry." She took breathe of relief. Her mother-in-law was nice lady. Mohan " You must take rest now." She nodded and went to sleep.
After that day Isha needed to take lot of troubles to cure herself. It was worst day for her. She wanted to do things fast and many times Tina needed to work in home. Tina didn't complaint at beginning but then she began to get tired of it. It was not easy for her. She was so happy when she finally began to move normally. She was happy about it. She was moving around house with little pain. Soon she began to move easily around house. She started to purchase vegetables. She began to do necessary things like purchasing things for household. Mohan have no longer burden by it and he was happy about it. He was so pleased with it when he told him that she managed to buy vegetable that he wanted to dance with her. But she objected and started laughing. She didn't want to break her leg again. She was so happy. Every thing was back to normal. It seemed as if they needed to do lots of repairs. Mohan managed to get door done before her returning. It was her first desire when she managed to talk him in hospital. She was so scared that someone might steal something from house. He told her many times that their security guard was watching it. But she felt that security guard was useless before robbers. He started laughing at mention of robber. He said that robber didn't rob poor people like them. He started to look so confused when she started to discuss about cooking so they had to order everything from outside until she didn't become well. Now finally she was once again properly working. She was so happy to take hold of her house properly. She didn't want maids doing everything for her. She wanted to do it with her own hand. She didn't want to keep nurse but she didn't have option. She didn't even like that nurse's attitude. She just wanted to run away as soon as possible. She kept scaring Tina. She was so happy when she managed to stop that nurse. She had one maid but she didn't keep cook. She didn't like their style of cooking so she kept ordering lunch from simple household lady. It was not tasty but it was healthy. But now she was cooking again. She looked around her house. It was normal again. They needed to do lot of repairs but everything was fine now. She was so happy then it was over. But then suddenly she sensed one fear. She began to feel scared about storm.She began to look at weather report every day. It was so wrong. She knew that nature was creator. But it could destroy her this way was horrible thought. She didn't want to think about nature that way but when she looked out of window. She saw sky. She saw white clouds in blue sky with nice sun but still she sensed fear. She began to think how did it all changed in few moments. But she was warned about storm. She consoled herself. She was warned on that time so if something happened today they would warn her again. She needed to understand that it wouldn't happen suddenly. Then she felt scared. She didn't have much knowledge about storms. She needed to study them. She went on internet. She started to searching about storms. She began to study them in details. She began to watch every picture of storm. It was hurting her heart when she saw it carefully. She couldn't understand which was her storm. She was searching for that storm which entered in her house. Soon she found it. It was horrible but she learned another thing. Any storm could go anywhere. Person couldn't specify place of a storm. She started to shiver with fear. She sensed one thing that she couldn't guess what would happen next. She began to feel so scared. She looked out of window. She began to look carefully at sky. She sensed that there were small black cloud. She began to shiver. She sensed that nature was not friend of human as she hoped. She sensed that it had enemy inside. She began to think nature could only kill human. She began to sense that it was right. Nature managed to kill so many people. She started to count people than who died out of natural causes. Soon she sensed they are more numbers were died due to natural cause. It was not just storm but many other causes of nature which could kill person. She was so shocked to hear it. She began to close every window carefully. She started to learn about every precaution. She began to change every thing according to need of situation. She began to create every change which would make everything in right way. She started to create new changes for every need of crisis. She began to order every thing on internet. She started to search every thing in limited budget. It was hard but she would decided to do according to safety precautions. She decided that she would change costly thing step by step. She knew that Mohan would not mind. He was scared too. When she started to create changes, Tina came running. Tina " Mom why are you closing windows like that?" " To avoid storm wind." " But day is clear." " I know honey but storm can come on any time." Tina started to look scared. Tina " But Mom this will bring dark in house." " But it will stop wind." Tina was not happy about it. She wanted light and sunshine in house but she was so scared of wind so she went inside. Tina went inside her room. Tina was sad about everything. She wanted to enjoy everything in house when sunshine was there. She was feeling so happy in that sunlight. She was not feeling happy inside her house any more. Tina wanted to open door. But then she began to remember that storm again. She started feel sorrows about her Mom's pain. She began to sense that she must not insist on keeping open window. She must understood fear of her Mom. She decided that she needed to adjust with those closed window. But somewhere in her heart she felt that this storm might not return. Her neighbors were no longer scared of it.
When Mohan came from office, he was shocked to see his home. It was totally closed. Windows were shut down in strange way. He began to feel that Isha was doing little bit too much. When he entered, he asked her " Why did you close those windows?" " Since I wanted to stop storm from coming." " But storm didn't come in our area that frequently." Isha " But you can't guess time of that storm. And this interior is not that bad." " No..no it's okay. After all you are staying inside house for more time." But Tina came out with sad face. " But Dad I want sunlight in house." Isha gave her angry look. Mohan looked around. Tina was right that house was too dark. Mohan " But Isha kids needed little bit sunlight. " Isha looked so upset and scared. Isha " I can't take risk of storm. You know very well what storm did to me last time. It could have killed Tina..." " Stop..stop listen to me. I feel we can keep just Tina's window open. No one sleep in that bedroom in night. Tina always sleep in our room and during daytime you can take care of her if something happen." Isha smiled. Tina "But I am going to sleep in my room soon.!!" Isha " Fine honey. But now you are sleeping with us so we can open windows of your room. Isha smiled. She took out every protection of that room. She felt strange fear. She screamed " But you must keep that door closed during night." Tina nodded. So she managed to let sunlight enter in just that room of house. At night when Mohan went in his bedroom. he didn't sense much difference since it had Air conditioner. Isha came near him and kept his mobile away from him. Mohan screamed " What if I get some message stop this rubbish about storm. I need it." " No need to keep it near pillow. I will keep it on that table. It is not far away you can hear it from there." She said it in much sweet way that he couldn't able to deny it. He nodded. " But don't blame me for disturbing sleep. " She nodded. Then Tina once again came back to their room. Tina always claimed that she would sleep in her bedroom but she never did it. They all slept peacefully. Next day was normal. Slowly Tina got used to that dark interior. She stopped complaining every thing was just fine. One day Isha was cooking when she received call from her sister. Her sister " My daughter is going to get married." Isha felt happy but then she felt fear from her soul. She needed to go for it. She looked out. It was so scary. She looked out of her window. She felt tense. She didn't want to go out. Her sister " What happened?" " Nothing. I just felt that it might rain today." " Rain!! But I thought weather is clear." " Yes yes it is." Isha was confuse since she couldn't able to see anything from those closed windows. Still she said " Yes..yes it is clear." She lied. But she didn't want to tell full truth to her sister. "Forget it. I am coming to give you invitation is it okay?" Isha was more confuse now. She needed to hide it from her sister. She knew that her interior was normal but still she felt strange need of hiding it from her. She felt so frustrated. Her sister " Are you going somewhere?" " No..no I was just confuse since I don't know you are in my city." " I am not in your city. I am not going to come. My husband is coming." Isha was relaxed since she knew her brother-in-law would never question about her choice of interior. She smiled " I am in home." She managed to get everything ready in perfect way. She cooked nice snacks for her brother-in-law. It was arranged in perfect way. She started to arrange every thing in right way. She began to get ready. All was perfect. Then her door bell rang. She opened door with smile. But her brother-in-law was looking tense. Her brother-in-law " Are you going to have storm?" Isha started shaking like feather. " Storm who told you?" Her brother-in-law looked scared. " Relax why are you looking so pale? I just say because you took those precautions." Isha smiled " ohhhh it's just old precautions. I forgot to remove. Come in." She felt normal again. That evening went in perfect way. She was just tense about one thing. She needed an excuse to avoid her niece's wedding. She didn't want to risk picnic in that weather. She knew people were calling it clear but her sense was telling it would harm every one soon. She was sensing it was going to change everything. She knew that she was not going to go out in that weather. She began to dial number to Mohan. Mohan took her call " What happened?" " My niece is getting married." " Great what date? I will take leave on that time." Isha was so nervous. She didn't want to go. She thought that Mohan might find some excuse. But now she sensed that he was not going to provide any. " No need to hurry up. We need to check about storm." " Storm? Storm is coming. No one told me." Then he started to talk with others. He kept chatting for sometime while she kept screaming his name to tell him that she was just talking about risk of storm. Then he came on mobile " Storm is not coming it's rumour. Send me date and time. I will book tickets." " Okay." Her okay was like agreeing to sign suicide note. But Mohan was too busy to sense it so he just said " Bye." Then she opened invitation with heavy heart. She looked at date and she suddenly got idea. She could change date little bit such things always kept happening. She could make one silly mistake. She smiled and wrote date 20 instead of 2. She smiled with relief. Every thing happened with perfect way. She messaged it to Mohan and then called her sister. She showed full interest in marriage this time. She didn't want any one to suspect.
Mohan was busy in his work when he got call from Isha's brother-in-law. Brother-in-law " I called you about marriage." " I know Isha called me. I am going to book air tickets.." " Actually I am at airport I am booking tickets for my relatives. Do you want me to book tickets for you?" " But how could I get them?" " I am coming near your office I will drop them." Mohan smiled" Just great. I needed that help." " I know you need to cover your work before leave." " You know all." " Yes we sail in same ship." They laughed then it was decided that tickets would be delivered to watch man. Mohan said he would do money transfer. Mohan was happy that his time was saved. He saw Isha's message but he ignored it. He didn't need it now. He just waited. Then watchman brought tickets. He took them and thanked. Then he went back to work. He needed to complete it as fast as possible. He began to feel so happy. He needed a vacation and he got it. He needed air. His office and his house both were so closed. He began to feel he had to convince Isha to let some air enter in house. He didn't like it. After all storms were not every day occurrence for them. He needed to stay away from storm but he needed even wind in his house. It was totally strange to stay that way. He didn't want Tina to develop that habit. A small girl needed fresh air in house and he decided that he would talk with Isha on that day only. When he came home, he started removing covers of windows. Isha was inside. She began to sense touch of wind and light also began to come. She started to shiver. She began to feel that storm was entering in house. She started to sense fear. Her heart beats started to increase. She started to feel breathless. She began to see different horrible shadows. She began to scream loudly. Slowly whole world around her started to move in circles. She began to feel her legs were so weak like butter. She began to fall on ground. Mohan was shocked to hear that loud scream. He came running in kitchen. Isha was fainted on floor. He started to try to wake her up. But she didn't. Finally he called Doctor who suggested few methods and told him that he was coming. After trying that method she finally woke up. But she started to talking about storm like mad person. He tried hard to convince her that storm was not coming. Finally Doctor came and injected her then she went to sleep. Doctor " What happened? Why did you keep your house closed like that? You are creating bad atmosphere for her. You are increasing her fear of storm." " I don't do it. Actually I was removing it when she started screaming." Doctor looked around " She did all by herself?!!" " And what were you doing entire time? Sleeping in bed?" " I was in office." Doctor looked so frustrated by his simple answer. Doctor " I mean don't you feel something was wrong with her?" " But she looked normal." " In which way? She locked herself in house. Did she go out?" " Yes. She go out for groceries." Then Doctor looked more angry. Doctor" I saw groceries are available just on corner." Mohan nodded. " So you call it going out?" Mohan was so confused. But then he remembered about marriage. " We are going out on marriage soon. I have booked Air tickets." Doctor smiled. " Great take her outside. She needed air." Mohan smiled. He sat near Isha on bed. When Isha woke up, he gave pleasant smile to her. But she started shivering. Isha " Storm managed to destroy all protection of window." " No I have removed it." She started screaming on him. " Close it. Close it." He was so confused now. Mohan" But Doctor said we must keep them open!!" Isha just stopped talking. " When Doctor came?" " Few moments ago remember you fainted in kitchen then woke up started talking about storm." She looked totally confused. " I am confused. It is happening due to those open windows. Just close them." " We can't. Doctor said we need to get some air." Then he finally asked " Did you go out to buy groceries?" " No. It was too heavy. Grocery seller bring it at home." Mohan was shocked. " Did you ever go out of house?" Isha looked nervous. " I go out when needed." " When last time you went out?" Isha looked confused. Then she looked angry. " I am not criminal. Don't interrogate me like one." She once again fall on bed and began to pretend she was sleeping. Mohan didn't say anything. He sensed argument was useless. When he started to go out,she screamed " Close that door I don't want wind to enter in house. You managed to double my work now I have to close windows." Mohan was shocked nothing came out of his lips. He just went out and started searching for Doctor's number. He knew Isha needed help. Then he saw her message. He knew it was useless but he located date. It was wrong. Tickets had different date. He was shocked. Suddenly every thing began to look scary. He called Doctor. Doctor " I am giving you number of psychiatrist. Take her as soon as possible. She would not agree willingly. You have to force her otherwise she could become mad one day. She would never left house and keep screaming." Mohan saw a mad lady in neighbourhood when he was child. He started shivering with fear. Then he began to cry that storm managed to destroy his life. Soon he controlled himself. He looked at watch. He sensed soon Tina was going to come. He didn't want her to see all this he started planning way to keep his daughter out of this. He didn't want any image of her troubled mother before Tina's eyes. He controlled his sorrows and started thinking as father.
Mohan started thinking different ways in which he could avoid Tina. First he thought about his parents but he felt Tina didn't enjoy staying there again and again. Tina would question him this time why he was sending her off like that again. After all Tina was going to skip her school. Then he suddenly saw tickets. He smiled sending his daughter where wedding was going to take place was perfect solution. She could go there happily. He called Isha's sister and told her every thing. Isha's sister" you can send her with Ravi. I will handle every thing. Every one would like to have Tina here. When she is returning from school?" " In half an hour. " " Then pack her clothes send her. I will manage just take care of Isha. She was talking in strange way on phone too." Mohan relaxed little bit. Then he took out small bag. It was hard to understand which clothes needed to be packed. But he slowly made list and managed to do. Then he wrote everything on paper and decided to give it to Tina since she needed to find all. He just prayed to God that Tina should say yes willingly. Ravi came before Tina. Ravi bought big doll with him. Ravi" This should act as incentive for coming." Mohan nodded. He knew that it was going to be hard for them. Then Isha came out. Isha looked at Ravi with confused expression. Ravi smiled " I came to give this ticket." Isha started to look pale. She sensed that her plan was destroyed. She took hold of chair to steady her feet. Ravi " Are you alright?" Isha gave weak smile. " I am fine." Then she noticed bag. " Who is going out in this storm?" " Storm? Weather is perfect there is not any verdict about storm and Tina was going out with Ravi." Isha looked more pale. Isha " You can't do that to me. Don't take away my daughter." She started crying loudly. Ravi was shocked. But Mohan forced bag in his hand and said " I will call watchman take away Tina from gate." Ravi nodded. Isha tried to stop him. Mohan took hold of her. Isha " You will kill our daughter." " No body is killing her. She is going to stay with auntie and enjoy her time." Mohan's determination managed to weak her argument. Mohan " And you are going to Doctor with me." She smiled " Nice. You must call Doctor." " I am not going to call Doctor you are going to visit him." " No I am not going to go out of this house." " Why?" " I am sick. I can't walk." " Fine. I will take you in arms." She started laughing. " Stop talking in that romantic style you can't manage to carry my weight." " Fine I will call Doctor and ambulance." Isha started to shiver and crying. Mohan " Listen to me. Just get dressed I will call taxi. You just need to go out and sit in Taxi." She nodded. He booked Taxi. He waited. Isha came out dressed in strange way. She dressed in such way that nothing could touch her body. Her entire body was hidden from sunlight and air. She sat in Taxi while looking scared at everything. She kept holding Mohan's hand on every touch of wind. Taxi driver looked strange way but he didn't ask anything. Mohan took breathe of relief since it was going to be hard to answer him. When they sat in clinic, she took breathe of relief. Then she called her sister and kept discussing weather with her. It was so frustrating. Mohan wanted to scream on her. He wanted to tell her. Weather was fine. She was not fine. But he controlled himself. He began to look outside. Soon sun started to set. In few hours his life was changed or he faced that change which was happened long time ago. Finally their number came. They went inside. Psychiatrist have nice smile to them. Then he began to talk with Isha. She told him everything. He looked relaxed. " Your wife is suffering post traumatic symptoms due to which she developed Astraphobia it is specific phobia but then she did too research on it so it turned in worst way. She began to feel every wind is storm." " But Doctor any wind can turn in storm. Let me show you." She started searching something on internet then she told name of some great person who said storm could happen anywhere. Psychiatrist smiled " Show it to me. Let's discuss it." Then they started to talk slowly Mohan sensed Psychiatrist was reducing her fears . He took breathe of relief. He started his Android and began to work on it. After all nothing was free so he had to work hard to pay for all. He hoped from heart at least Tina was enjoying herself. He went out of room and called her but his hopes shattered when she started crying on phone. She wanted to come back. She was alone there every one was busy in marriage preparation. He felt more frustrated but then when he came back Psychiatrist asked " Why did you send your daughter away?" " I thought this might effect her." " You did wrong thing . Your wife is not that sick. This is small trouble it will be solved. Don't pack and send away daughter like that it will create bad effect on all bring her back." Isha smiled. Psychiatrist " Isha promised me. She will listen to me. Bring Tina back." Mohan smiled and nodded. " I need to go there to bring her back." Isha looked scared. Psychiatrist " I got better idea. Let her stay for week then you both can join her." " But Doctor.." " Do you want to keep your crying daughter there." Isha " No I will go." Psychiatrist smiled. When she went out with nurse for physical check up. Psychiatrist told Mohan. " I give instructions take her on journey. I feel she will manage." He smiled. He called Tina and told her that he would come next week. Tina agreed since she made friendship with few kids so she could stay for a week. Mohan took breathe of relief. He hoped from heart this storm would vanish soon out of his life.
The End
