First salary
Pradip was so happy. He got his first salary. He was planning to do many things with it. He began to create different dreams with that money. He had decided so many things with that money. He had managed to create his entire world with it. He knew that it was small sum but it was important for him. He kept it carefully in pocket when suddenly his younger brother entered. Sunny started to touch his pocket but he immediately objected. Pradip was always planning different things with money. He began to do different plans. Sunny was trying to upset them. Pradip screamed on Sunny " Don't touch it. It belong to me." Sunny clearly looked upset. Sunny didn't say anything just left away. Pradip was glad. He knew that Sunny would tell this to Mom but he didn't care. He wanted that entire pocket money just for himself. He didn't want to use it for anyone. He worked so hard to get it. He felt every part of that money was precious for him. He was not ready to share it at all. He kept feeling importance of that money. He didn't want to share that money at all. He kept feeling that without that money he was nothing. He still remembered how hard he worked to get that money. He used to study so hard. But he never got enough marks to please his family. He always had to study more. He kept trying again and again. But he didn't manage to get much success. He kept feeling so upset. He tried so hard to get things as per his wishes. He wanted to get money as per his plan. He needed to show everyone that he was best. He never wanted people to point out towards him and say " Look at this fellow. He is good for nothing." He saw that happening with his cousin. They all seemed to be convinced that he was useless. Some used to show sympathy and some used to taunt him. But he didn't care what they did. He just wanted to feel useful and for it he needed salary and finally he got it today. He was not planning to let Sunny touch anything out of it. It was his salary. He was quiet possessive about it. He wanted to do many useful things with it. He wanted to plan regarding money. He wanted his money to be invested properly. He didn't want his younger brother to touch it. He wanted to value his every rupee. They were precious to him. He needed to give importance to his money. He must use that money as per his wishes. He needed to arrange plans for his money. He must set them properly. He needed plan it since it was his money. He screamed on Sunny " You must understand this is not just money. It was treasure. And no one suppose to touch it." Sunny looked shocked. Until now he always took money from his brother's table, he was never objected. This was something new. Sunny watched that money carefully. This was not that much large amount. He didn't imagine it to be some treasure just few rupees. They managed to purchase some chocolates that's all. But Pradip was creating big issue out of it. Sunny was taking it in hurry because one hawker brought chat items which he liked. He was screaming around society and Sunny needed to go out of Society door to take them since hawkers were not permitted in society. Sunny sensed that this time he needed to forget his chat. He needed to understand those items he couldn't manage to buy every time. He was so upset. He started to sense that sort of money was not going to give big thing. Sunny " Sorry. I will not take it." Sunny immediately vanished from that room. Pradip took breath of relief. It was his precious money. He needed to keep it safe. He opened cupboard. He kept it inside and locked. He started his laptop and began to work on next assignment. He wanted to do best. He knew that there was lot of competition in market for job. His salary was not large but he would get promotions then his salary would increase step by step. He needed to work hard for it. He began to create different plan to progress. He started to think about different ways which would show new hopes for him. He began to plan for better projects. He needed to increase earning of company. But then he began to feel confused. He suddenly began to feel he needed to find different types of jobs. He started to study those jobs in details. He needed to work on that idea too. He might find better job. He smiled and he created timetable with which he divided his work. He devoted half time to job he had and half for searching for job. He needed to work hard. He knew that he could get success only if he worked hard. He started studying every profitable way. He needed more money. He needed to make money otherwise people wouldn't respect him. He knew that he was nothing without money. He started finding different ways to earn profits for company. He did all. Then he started searching for better companies. He knew that at this point his biodata wouldn't look promising but still he studied. He was so occupied in his work that he didn't even sense that his Mom brought snacks for him. She kept it beside him. He just wanted to increase his salary. He saw clearly one thought written in Sunny's eyes that his money was so small. He wanted to stop those expressions. He needed to earn more. He needed to earn larger amount. He began to plan. He knew one thing that money which was hidden in cupboard It was not enough. He needed more money to store. He began to do his job. Soon he sensed that he was good in his work. He could get better. He didn't even eat his snacks. After sometime his Mom came in room to collect his empty dishes. She was shocked when she saw Pradip didn't even eat his favourite snacks. It was shocking. Mom " What happened? You don't like this snacks. It is your favourite?" " No..no Mom I was just too busy." " It is too cold now. Let me warm it." Pradip nodded. But his eyes were just stuck to computer. He was not interested in even looking towards her. His Mom felt upset. But she decided not to argue and went to kitchen. She started heating snacks. It was so nice that due to it's smell Sunny immediately came running inside kitchen. He started to demand some for him too. Mom smiled and included his snacks too.
Sunny started eating snacks. He liked it but those chat items were different story. He suddenly began to miss them. He decided that he needed to complaint to Mom. Sunny " Mom there was chat hawker on road..." Then he started eating snacks given to him. He liked it so much. He decided to ignore other things for sometime. Then he returned to matter. Sunny " I was planning to buy chat items from hawker and I took money from pocket of Dada and he started screaming on me like mad man. This isn't fair. I mean. I always took money and then I return it. I never stole it. No one objected like that. I felt like thief!!" " This was his first salary so he is little bit possessive. This feeling will be reduced with time." Sunny didn't feel convinced at all. He felt so hurt. " I don't feel it is going to change. I can tell you surely he will never take out that money. He will just keep increasing it." Mom smiled. Mom didn't believe it. She felt that he was exaggerating entire situation. It didn't seem right. Sunny was not going to believe it since he was so angry with his elder brother. He didn't like that situation. It was so upsetting. Sunny began to feel that now Pradip would keep storing his money like mad man from stories who kept storing their wealth and finally it became treasure. He might create cave full of wealth. Sunny " Mom I am telling you if you don't stop Pradip today one day he will store all his money and never give it to anyone until his death." His Mom started laughing. She felt that Sunny was exaggerating. She knew that Pradip was little obsessed with his salary. But it was common in case of first salary. Many people kept it with them as memory. Few even stored one of the currency note as token of gesture of good memory. Every one felt excited about first salary. She had heard about it from many people. She never did job herself. She never interested in it. She didn't understand why. But somewhere in her heart she knew that it was even impossible to get it. She needed to have so much good luck. She felt one thing that she was not so much ambitious any way to work hard to find it. But she heard from many how did they value their first salary. It was beginning of their first freedom. She knew that it was common that whenever anyone touched first salary of person that person reacted with anger. She heard that so she felt that it was common. She started to feel that Sunny was overreacting. He was creating issue out of nothing. He kept pointing towards Pradip since he missed that chat. Mom smiled and ignored. Mom was so confident that everything was fine. She managed to turn her snacks fresh again and went in room. Pradip was still busy. Mom felt so upset. It didn't seem right. Pradip supposed to at least eat. Mom " Pradip!! Stop working and eat some snacks." Pradip nodded. He was little embarrassed. " Sorry Mom. I was too busy in my work. But now I will eat." He immediately stopped his work and started to eat. Mom smiled happily. She felt so relieved. Mom felt confident that nothing was wrong with Pradip. He began to eat peacefully. Pradip began to enjoy that snacks. It was so tasty. He started to plan regarding spending money too. He was so happy. It was truly wonderful dream. He started to sense different meanings out of it. He was planning to spend that money properly on every day. He was planning to create different dreams out of it. He needed to store more money that money was biggest support for his future. He needed to keep it locked. He suddenly began to sense one fear. He never anticipated one question. What if his Mom started to demand money. He began to shiver with fear. He started to sense that his money was not safe. He felt so upset. He began to think about shifting in another house. He wanted to protect his money. Then he suddenly got one idea. He could put it in his bank account and kept it only on his name. He would not let anyone touch it. He had decided all. He was sure about it. He smiled happily at this thought when Sunny entered in his room. He began to feel so scared. That boy was evil for him. He needed to find some solution on him. He started to hate Sunny. He knew that Sunny was poisoning his Mom's mind. From first moment Sunny was after his money. Sunny was not as innocent as he pretended. Sunny had evil hidden inside him. Sunny was after his money. He knew it and sensed it from soul. Pradip decided to talk with Sunny. He needed to tell Sunny clearly. He went out after eating snacks. He observed carefully that Sunny was inside kitchen. Sunny was enjoying snacks and Mom was with Sunny. It was not proper timing. But Pradip knew that Sunny was restless by nature. Sunny was not going to stay there forever. He waited. Sunny kept eating his snacks. Pradip began to feel so tense. He was eating snacks slowly step by step. He was enjoying it's every bite. It was tasting so wonderful for Sunny and so irritating to Pradip. Pradip wanted to chat with Sunny. He needed to scare Sunny. Pradip shivered with anger. Pradip felt that it was good sign so he could show entire anger to Sunny. Then he noticed Sunny running down to play. He knew that now Sunny would take lift and it was perfect place to scare him. Normally lift used to be empty on this time. He ran. When he entered, he immediately noticed fear in Sunny's eyes. He sensed that it was working. Pradip felt as if he was some character of movie which was going to scare that small boy. He saw such situation in many movies. He sensed one thing that he just needed to repeat one and everything would become perfect. He started thinking of movies and then he planned a scene. He turned towards Sunny and gave him sinister smile which he reserved just for this purpose. He decided that he needed to plan everything. He wanted it to be perfect. He smiled in such way that Sunny immediately started shivering. He sensed that Sunny wanted to run out of lift but it was too late. Lift door was already closed. Pradip smiled happily. Everything was working just the way he planned.
Sunny was so happy when he ran out of kitchen. He was planning to play. He had managed to complete his studies quickly today so it was happiest day for him. He was going out to play first. Then he would search for his friends. If his friends were not available, he was playing by himself. He could create drama and started acting. He knew that finding friends on time was not easy. He never thought that it would help even to find friend. He liked to play alone sometimes. That way he would always remain hero in game. He would always remain successful. He needed that kind of game too. He entered in lift then he suddenly sensed his elder brother Pradip entered in it too. Sunny was not much fond of Pradip since few days. Pradip was acting so strange. Pradip kept telling him to stay away from his things. Sunny tried to do it but sometimes he get tempted to use them. He began to feel desire to take them like today. He wanted to eat chat items so he took them. He was so upset now. He could sense strange look in his elder brother's eyes. Pradip was no more his brother. He was a monster from movie. Sunny wanted to run out of lift but it was too late. Pradip was laughing. He was enjoying his stunt while Sunny was shivering. It was horrible for Sunny. Pradip " Do you remember that monster Sunny?!!" Sunny didn't remember it and didn't even wanted to remember it. Sunny said in low voice " Let me go." Pradip " Well I didn't stop you. Go ahead press button of lift." Sunny started to touch button and suddenly Pradip's hand appeared near it. He shivered with fear. Sunny was so scared. He didn't want to touch it. Pradip started laughing. Pradip removed hand and said " Go ahead. No need to feel shy. Press lift button." Sunny shivered. Sunny didn't dare to press it. Sunny was too scared. Pradip was laughing. Finally Pradip pressed it. They came to ground floor. Sunny ran out of lift without second thought. Sunny ran away as far as possible. He was so scared. Sunny caught his breath only after confirming Pradip was not behind him. He sensed that Pradip had became his new biggie man for him. A monster of every nightmare. Sunny was shivering like leaf while Pradip was laughing. Pradip really enjoyed his little joke. He was happy that he took proper care of his salary. He didn't want to be scared about salary. He wanted to be confident about it. Sunny was small thief and he managed to handle him. Pradip went back in his room. He started working. Sunny came home after sometime. Sunny wanted to tell all to Mom but he was scared. Last time when he told, everything went against him. Mom didn't help him much and Pradip managed to scare him. Pradip was so scary. Sunny decided to stay away from him. Sunny came back and took TV remote in his hand. He was hoping to watch some interesting TV show. He was watching it when in middle Pradip appeared. Pradip gave him that special smile and he managed to shiver in fear. It was clear that he was too scared even to talk. Pradip just took away TV remote out of Sunny's hand forcibly. Sunny was so scared. He didn't objected. He just went in his room. Sunny started crying. He sensed one thing that something was wrong with his brother and no one was going to believe him. Sunny just decided to stay in his room and he planned to avoid his brother Pradip as much as possible. Sunny kept getting upset. Sunny didn't like this change. He could see easily how did Pradip managed to get everything as per his choice. Pradip was laughing and pretending to be perfect before everyone. When Sunny returned home, he locked himself in room and Pradip kept enjoying TV and other things. Pradip could get whatever he desired. While Sunny kept hiding in room, few times his Dad said " What's wrong with this boy?" So they were feeling something was totally wrong with Sunny. Sunny didn't understand why he was considered odd. He was normal. Pradip had problems. Then he began to feel confused. He started to sense that he might be wrong. Pradip didn't have problems. He had. Sunny started to cry slowly in his room. Mom was observing all. She was sensing that something was wrong. Sunny was not going out to play. Sunny was avoiding lift. She sensed that Sunny was watching behind his back every moment as if someone was coming to grab him. She didn't understand what was wrong with her younger son. She was happy the way Pradip was progressing but whatever happening with Sunny was shocking. Sunny was spending his days in room. Mom noticed that in school Sunny was performing excellently and everyone was admiring him. But in house Sunny seemed so scared. Mom began to sense one thing that she needed to pay attention. She needed to understand what was scaring Sunny so much inside house. Sunny was very important to her. She loved Sunny from heart. She kept admiring Sunny every day to encourage him. She could easily notice that Pradip was grabbing attention while Sunny was hiding behind. Mom didn't like. Most importantly she began to feel that Pradip was doing this with intention. She noticed those eyes of anger which Pradip was showing little Sunny again and again. Sunny noticed all. He was so upset and scared. Mom noticed them too. Mom decided that she couldn't ignore this matter. She decided to pay attention to him. She needed to go in depth of matter. She was not going to let anyone destroy future of her younger son Sunny. Sunny was important to her. She decided to pay full attention to Sunny. She knew that on this moment her husband was fully under charm of their elder son. Pradip was so good in admiring people. But he was also good in scheming against them. Pradip was never innocent child. Mom didn't took comments of his teachers seriously but now she sensed that she needed to take them. She needed to see carefully what Pradip was doing to Sunny.
At beginning Sunny used to stay out of Pradip's sight and it worked perfectly. Sunny never argued. But after sometime it didn't. Now Pradip was even coming in his room. Even on that day Sunny sensed that Pradip was going to come his future seemed like doomed. Pradip " So what are you doing?" Sunny showed him book which he was reading. Pradip " I don't understand why did you read those books? Do you feel they make you smart?" Sunny felt so confused. No one criticised his books until now. Then Sunny sensed it was lie. Their father criticised indirectly many times. Dad said " This boy is going to become useless coach potato one day if he keep sitting in his room like that." But Sunny never responded to anything so matter didn't move further. Sunny was always careful regarding not increasing matter. Sunny didn't want to face Dad's anger. Sunny was scared of everyone. Sunny didn't understand why did this happening to him. But matter were becoming worst for him daily. Pradip was so happy since he got Dad on his side. Pradip was showing off his salary. Pradip was not giving anything but he was storing everything. But still he was talking about his money and Dad was getting impressed. But he sensed one thing that he needed to control Sunny. Sunny was threat to his every plan. He needed to store everything and Sunny kept demanding all. He needed to control him. Pradip observed for long time and sensed that Sunny was biggest pressure in their house budget. They spent too much money on him while Sunny never gave anything back. Pradip wanted his brother stop spending anything. Pradip sensed planting fear in Sunny's soul would help him. Sunny would stop purchasing. Pradip knew very well that Mom was not going to stop buying for Sunny unless Sunny stopped demanding. Sunny was Mom's angel. Pradip never understood why. Then he felt that Mom's love might be blind. But Pradip saw it all clearly. Sunny was biggest liability. He looked around room. It was full of costly things. Pradip was counting them. He was calculating how much amount was wasted. He felt so sad. Then Pradip decided that he might use some of those things. He started to look around. He saw costly watch. It was perfect. Pradip took it and said " This is lovely. Can I use it?" Sunny was so shocked. He knew that once he demanded to borrow some money from Pradip's room but Pradip didn't give it so he didn't needed to let him use his things. Sunny " No. I want.." "Come on you are not true owner of these things. You don't even earn." Sunny was feeling so sad. He was so small and weak. He was not even sure that he would earn some amount one day. He was not as smart as Pradip. He was weak and stupid. He knew it since his Dad and brother told him this every day. Sunny felt so sad when Pradip took away his watch. But Sunny couldn't stop him. Sunny was too scared. He kept shivering with fear. His life was not what once it used to be. Mom was watching from outside what was happening. She was shocked to see that watch in Pradip's hand. She was so upset. She stopped Pradip. " Why did you took that watch from Sunny?" " Because he doesn't need it." Mom gave him angry look. She knew very well that he was lying. It was not right. In her eyes Pradip forcibly took it from Sunny. She wanted to stop this. Mom " Then give it to me. I need it." Pradip was shocked. He was not going to let her take his things. When Pradip took it away from Sunny, it became his thing for him. " No Mom I need it more." Mom screamed on Pradip " Give it back." Pradip screamed " I will not." First time Mom sensed that something was wrong with Pradip. Mom tried to take watch and Pradip started fighting with her. Soon Mom sensed that she was weak before him. But Mom was so determined that she kept trying. Then she suddenly noticed. Pradip took flower vase and started to hit her with it. She managed to duck and protect her head. But she was upset since she needed to let Pradip won. Pradip started laughing loudly. It was strange. Mom sensed that something was wrong with him. Mom decided to talk with his Dad. When Dad came from office she told everything to him. Dad didn't believe her. Then Dad started to call Pradip. Dad asked about watch. Pradip looked at him in strange way. Pradip screamed " No one can touch my things. Once I took it then I took it. I am owner of those things." He started to smile in strange way. They sensed something was wrong. Dad suddenly started to talk carefully. Dad " Are you alright?" Pradip gave smile and said " I am perfect. And I am shifting from here tomorrow. I know I am surrounded by robbers." Dad screamed " Are you trying to call your father a robber?" Pradip smiled and said " I am." Dad was so shocked. Dad wanted to argue but Mom stopped him since Pradip was already searching for some weapon. They sensed that their son was mad. They needed to treat him. But at same time they sensed that they didn't have any right. Pradip was grown up and he was earning too. They couldn't force him to do it. Pradip smiled happily. During that entire day they didn't went near Pradip's room. They could sense that he was careful against them. They didn't want to get hurt. Finally next day Pradip packed his bags and went away.
Mom supposed to feel sad about Pradip's desertion. But she was glad. She sensed on every movement that something was wrong with Pradip. He was not acting normal. She was so upset since it was showing impact on Sunny's mind. She knew that Pradip was not normal. But she did her best for him. So she decided that she needed to stop worrying about him now. She couldn't change Pradip's destiny while she could still do something for Sunny. Sunny was still staying in his room. Mom decided that she should take him to counselor. Mom started inquiring. Finally Sunny's teacher suggested one. They went there. They told all to counselor. He heard everything and said " Don't worry. Your younger son didn't have major mental trouble. This is just trauma developed due to reaction of your elder son's mental trouble. I will cure him easily but what about your elder son?" Mom gave sad look to psychiatrist. Mom " I did all I could for Pradip but if he is not ready to come for psychiatrist and I can't do anything." Counselor gave sad look. Then counselor said " I hope he will not do big harm." Then he turned attention to Sunny. Mom smiled towards Sunny and said " Don't worry." Mom was feeling sad on one point about Pradip but she decided to control herself and smiled for Sunny. She wanted her at least one son to be normal. She began to work on doing it. Sunny began to look relaxed and Mom started to feel glad about visiting counselor.
The End
