Replacement of wife
Seema started to hear mobile ringtone of her mobile. She was so upset. She was doing her work and she didn't want to pick any phone calls. She didn't understand why did people keep calling her. She wanted peace for doing her work but these phone calls managed to disturb her entire schedule. She needed to keep working hard to earn money but to keep good relationship with society she needed to adjust with situation too. She supposed to handle all. It was so frustrating. Sometimes she felt that she should just stop taking those phone calls but she knew that it would be useless they would call her husband Sameer. Then Sameer would call her. He would get upset since he was disturbed in office. She noticed that he would never scream on any relative. He would just scream on her. She supposed to handle all. He didn't need to handle anything. Her earnings were literally non existent so she needed to handle. But she was handling house too. He never did anything in house. But according to him he was earning so he was important. But he knew that she needed her time for do her things too. He didn't argue directly but he kept getting upset. He needed privacy in his office. She knew that she needed to take that call. She took deep breath and took call. It was call from her cousin. She didn't like her that much since they never had anything in common. Her cousin was interested in just earning more and more money. But she didn't care about other things. It was so frustrating. But still she had no option so she took that call. Her cousin Janvi started talking. After hearing her voice Seema started to feel upset. She didn't want to talk but she knew that she couldn't avoid it. Janvi " So how are you?" " Fine. Actually I am working on new project I have many hopes from it.." Janvi " Why did you keep doing those projects? I mean they are not that much useful. You work hard for such a long time and then finally you get nothing." Seema was so upset. She didn't understand why did Janvi needed to comment on her work. She didn't ever tried to interfere in Janvi's life. But Janvi always kept taunting her. Seema " I like to work." " But you have family and kids. Don't you understand?!! For growing up kids just one person's salary is not enough. You need to earn.!!" Seema was so frustrated. She didn't want to change her career. She knew that she didn't have earning but she didn't feel that just by changing profession she would not get better earnings. She wanted to live her life but Janvi didn't understand. Janvi " You must consider what you need to do now. Your kids will need more money and it is important." " I know I am trying. " She was so frustrated. She didn't understand what less she was giving to her kids. They had lots of things which she never had. They had computer, smart phone, laptop..but it seemed as if nothing was enough. Seema was so angry. But she knew that she needed to control herself. She didn't want to insult anyone. It would just create big drama. She tried her best to ignore her. So she just kept quiet. But in her heart she was so frustrated. Janvi kept talking " You must understand. You need one flat for each kid." " But we have two flats!?" " You call them flats!" Janvi started laughing. " Come on just one bedroom kitchen flat is useless. You need at least two bedroom kitchen flat. Kids need big thing. You need to earn more. You are giving just useless things to them. You must concentrate on positive side of matter but not so much that you don't understand negative side at all. I hope you understood me. The way you are trying to brought up your kids every thing will turn useless. It will be frustrating for them.." Seema didn't know if in future her kids would get frustrated or not but she was getting frustrated on that point. Seema " It's alright. I will handle it." " Why don't you understand?! You need a new job." Seema knew that she just needed to do her work peacefully. She took deep breath and said " I am trying hard and my best." " But honey! It is not enough. Look at your situation! You are giving nothing to your kids." Seema was so upset now. She wanted to stop this conversation. Then she suddenly remembered one excuse. Seema " Door bell is ringing. I think my vegetables delivery just came. I will talk with you later." Janvi was not happy. She didn't want to stop talking but she didn't have option so she said " Good bye." Seema took breath of relief and she returned to work. She tried hard to concentrate. But Janvi's words came coming back to her. Janvi got one nice job. Her earnings were good. She kept going abroad again and again. Everytime she went. She brought luxurious gifts for kids and also gave many things in house. So she was favourite to all except Seema who hated her. Seema never showed it. Seema needed to pretend since her family wanted those gifts. Her kids jumped with joy whenever she came. They all wanted Janvi's costly gift. They all felt that Janvi was most generous and wonderful person. But Seema hated her from soul. Seema didn't want Janvi to enter in her life. She began to feel so frustrated by it. Seema needed to get over her trouble. She needed Janvi to get out of her life. It was so frustrating. Janvi was not going out of it. Seema told herself to calm down. It was so upsetting. She needed to create plan to forget entire conversation. She started to think about way. She suddenly remembered her game on mobile. She knew that it would be perfect. She started playing that game. She began to feel relaxed. But suddenly her mobile rang again. She began to feel so frustrated. She needed to play that game. But her mobile was ringing and her game was stopped. She saw unknown number. She didn't want to take it but then she felt scared that it might be important call. So she took it. It was nothing but normal advertisement of credit card. She was so upset by it. She began to scream on that Audio recording without second thought. She was feeling so upset. She wanted to relax but no one was permitting it. She didn't understand what did she supposed to do. She suddenly decided to take walk so she changed her dress and went out.
Seema was taking walk in garden. She was observing every one around her. She kept imagining every cost of their items. She was thinking about the way other people live their life. She didn't understand exactly costs. But she noticed few costly items. They were branded items. She knew that they were costly. She didn't want to think about their value. Soon she sensed that she didn't have enough money. She needed to earn more. She started to think ways but they were not so easy. She didn't understand what would be best way for her. She kept consoling herself that she was trying hard. But it didn't seem enough. She kept feeling so upset. She wanted to earn more money. Then she began to get breathless. She didn't understand what was wrong with her. She was so upset. She began to sense that she needed money. She didn't have enough money. She wanted more. Her desire for money was small until now but now she began to make big plans. She started thinking. She loved stitching. She knew that business of readymade garment was great one. She could go to whole sale market and purchase dresses. Then she could sell them to people. She would began to like this idea. She knew few locations from where she could purchase dresses in cheap rate and then she could sell them on higher rate. It would be so promising. She felt so happy and hopeful. She started planning to rent a shop. She was setting dresses on different shelves. They were looking so great. That shop had wonderful interior. Decoration of that shop was enchanting. It was creating wonderful impact on her mind. She began to move ahead in her dream step by step. She started looking around in shop. It had colourful decoration but soon she sensed that customers were missing. She began to sense that such shops might remain empty for entire life. She started to feel tense. She was not happy with this plan. She knew that she couldn't able to face her husband if she failed in business like this. It was not easy. She decided that she didn't need a business with large investment. She required business with small investment. She started to think with that idea. She was so confused. She needed to find way to start business. She knew one thing that business was not possible with small investment. She started to find different plans. Then suddenly she sensed that there was not any plan which was without investment. She was so upset. She began to feel so breathless suddenly. She wanted to stop. She sat on bench. She didn't want to think about negative things told by Janvi. She tried to concentrate on nature. She began to search for flowers. She knew that flowers always managed to relax her soul. She was so upset. She started observing different flowers. Each flower had different colour and beautiful smell. She loved watching them. She kept looking at each petal of flower. She decided that she wanted to touch them. But then she stopped. She knew people in park might get upset. After all she could damage public property. She looked around. She saw different wrappers and packets on floor. She sensed that many people were not using dustbin properly. She felt if they could do this then she could touch one flower. But then she felt scared. She didn't want to break rule. She kept sitting on that bench. She started to think about her life. She began to regret many decisions which she took. She started to feel so sad. She knew that she married to Sameer with hope of secure life. He was not rich but he belonged to well to do family. When she met him, she was staying in bangalow with joint family. She was impressed by it. She started going out with him. He didn't lied to her. He immediately told her that this bangalow belonged to his grandfather so it had lots of owner so they might not get much after selling it. She nodded since by then she was in love with him. He was so good looking. Even today he had those good looks. She could have easily liked with limited money which they had but Sameer wanted more. Sameer was never happy with what he got and he was teaching same thing to kids. He kept telling them to keep big ambitions so she was only one with small ambitions in house. She tried hard to adjust but it was not happening. She was feeling so frustrated. She knew that she needed to earn money to win some respect but she knew that this greed would not take her to any point where she would feel satisfaction. She didn't understand what she supposed to do with her life. She was so upset. She told herself to relax. She looked at watch. It was time to go back. She didn't want to go back. She just wanted to stay in that garden on that bench. But soon her mobile rang. She sensed that her son was not inside house. He returned form school. She needed to serve snacks to him. She totally forgot about him. She sensed that he had managed to go inside house by key from neighborhood. He didn't call her for long time. After all he must had returned long time ago. But he didn't complaint. He was so nice. But she knew that he must be upset. She literally ran back to her house. She saw her son Naresh was sitting in hall. He was watching TV. His shoes were thrown in corner near door. He didn't change his clothes. He never did it without her instructions. He never put his things without her screams. She hated his attitude. She wanted to him to be more responsible. But he never acted that way. His behaviour was always childish. He always expected from Mom to handle all. She knew that if she started doing all for him then he would become more lazy. She screamed " Come on pick your things!!" Then suddenly Janvi came out of kitchen. Janvi screamed " Surprise!! I got one project here so decided to stay here. I talked with Sameer and you both wanted it as surprise." She wanted to cry but she gave artificial smile. She just keeping standing on her spot but Janvi ran towards her and gave her a hug. Seema did nothing. She had told Sameer many times about her dislike towards Janvi. It was so upsetting. He didn't think about her before inviting her. But she knew that it was too late. Janvi was staying with her and it was decided. She needed to pretend so she kept smiling and talking nicely with her but she didn't want to live anymore in that house.
Next morning when Seema entered in kitchen, she saw Janvi was already inside. Janvi turned towards her and smiled. Janvi " Due to staying in abroad all my schedule of sleeping changed." Seema never went abroad so she just nodded. Seema didn't want to chat with her that much. But she knew that no one was awake so she needed to entertain her. Last night she wanted to argue with Sameer for inviting Janvi in house. But when she started talking he said that he was sleepy and he immediately fall asleep. He was exhausted due to work and he was sole earner of family. He needed to take rest so she didn't interfere in his sleep. She was watching him. He was soft towards Janvi since morning she sensed that something was changed between them. When last time Janvi visited him, he was not interested in her that much but this time it was different. He was sitting exactly on opposite side of table. He was watching her carefully. He was observing her every move. It was important for him. Seema was observing his obsession with her. Something was wrong. She sensed it. Janvi was giving sweet smile to him. He kept passing dishes to her. She was so upset. She decided to stop it so she demanded attention. Seema " Sameer pass curd to me." Sameer didn't pay attention. She was so hurt. Actually no one was paying attention to her. She wanted to scream and argue but she did nothing. She felt that she could discuss this with Sameer in bedroom. But as soon as he entered in bedroom he claimed he was tired and fall asleep. She knew that she was overreacting. But then he was clearly ignoring her. She decided that she could ignore that matter. She knew that no one was going to pay attention to her. They all were just busy in admiring Janvi. Janvi was already in kitchen. Now she was going to give inferiority complex to her. She knew it. Janvi " Sameer was discussing your financial issues with me yesterday." Seema was not truthfully shocked. She knew that now Sameer was going to discuss everything with her. Many times she thought that Sameer was interested in marrying Janvi. Because he kept asking about her. But then in few days everything was changed. Sameer began to ignore her totally. It was so frustrating. She needed to move ahead. She knew that she didn't need to pay much attention to Sameer. She needed to get over him. She took deep breath and started to talk with Janvi. " So what did you want to eat in breakfast?" " Come on!! This is not time to joke. You must understand!! Financial crisis are big thing." Seema took deep breath. Seema " We are not so weak on financial level. Sameer is exaggerating matter." " Are you sure? I mean you are taking it too lightly." " Seema was so upset now. She didn't want Janvi to tell her how to handle her life but Sameer was including her inside their life and it was frustrating. She didn't want it to happen but she couldn't avoid it. Seema " I am trying my best." " But your best is not enough." She was so frustrated. She wanted happiness in life and Janvi was taking it away from her. She knew that Janvi was instigating wrong things. Janvi was taking every one on path of greed. She noticed that her kids no longer cared for her. In one day they changed. Seema took deep breath and said " I think you are lot better than me. Maybe I did mistake by marrying to Sameer?" Janvi was shocked by her statement. Janvi " I don't get it what is wrong in Sameer? " "Nothing but he deserve better wife than me. Maybe someone like you?" She looked at Janvi. Janvi was shocked. Janvi " Are you out of mind? You are suggesting I am interested in Sameer?" " No..no I am not saying exactly you. But someone smart like you!!" Seema changed her statement. But in her heart she wanted to say just that thing which Janvi claimed. She was so upset. Janvi " I am saying you are something less no..no not at all. You are perfect." Seema smiled and said " Thanks." Seema was so angry and upset. She didn't understand what did she supposed to say. She just started cooking breakfast. She kept paying attention to her cooking. On that point Sameer entered in kitchen. Janvi lost interest in Seema. Seema saw how did Janvi ran to Sameer. Janvi was clearly trying to impress him. Janvi " I brought some chocolates from abroad did you like to taste them?" Sameer smiled. " Sure!!" Seema kept another wave of anger. Sameer never ate sweet in morning. One day by mistake she baked sweet biscuits in morning. He threw big tantrum and went to office without breakfast but now it seemed as if it was okay. Seema sensed that Sameer had different rule for her homemade things and costly chocolates from abroad. She didn't say anything. Janvi went to her room. Janvi brought big box of chocolate. Then kids came too. Janvi distributed Chocolate to all. They all admired her. Seema sensed that no one was interested in her breakfast. She just wasted time in cooking it. She looked at her breakfast. She took deep breath and she put it in refrigerator. She knew that it was wasted. She wanted to argue but then she decided against it. She knew that no one cared for her so entire argument was waste of time. She just went back in her room. She took out one book and started reading but soon Sameer started to scream her name. When she went in kitchen, he began to scream " I am getting late where is my tiffin!!" She was so frustrated. She knew that she never packed tiffin so early. But now Sameer wanted it. So she started preparing it. During that entire time she didn't look behind she just worked and did everything then she went out. She didn't want to talk with anyone. She kept tiffin in line. She went in room and started working. Her work was her greatest relief. No one cared for her but her work was helping her to survive so she kept working. She knew that her life was not going to change.
Seema kept sitting in her room for days. It seemed as if no one mind it. For them Janvi was perfect. They didn't need Seema that much and Seema was also happy with that arrangement. Then one day Janvi came running in her room. Janvi " Seema..Seema it was my lucky day. I got transfer to country where my husband stay. Finally we will join again." Seema felt so confused. She knew that Janvi couldn't stay permanently but Janvi was acting as if she would. It was confusing. She never thought that Janvi would suddenly vanished. Janvi was jumping with joy. Janvi began to tell everyone about it. Seema could see everyone was upset. They wanted Janvi as permanent member. They wanted her to replace Seema. But clearly it was not going to happen. Janvi never planned to marry Sameer. Seema could stop herself from laughing at that thought. They insulted her and now Janvi was insulting them. When she laughed Sameer gave angry look but Janvi hugged her with affection. For Janvi she was her kind sister who was happy for her. But all other were upset by this change. On that day everyone cried except Seema. Seema was not happy about her departure but she was not even sad about it. Then finally Janvi went away. Seema didn't change much. She didn't talk much. She kept doing her work. But Sameer started to get upset. Sameer " What's wrong with you?" She turned towards him with surprise. She was acting same way. " I am acting normal." " Normal!! You are not acting normal. You are acting strange. Not even like human! " She was so frustrated. Until now she used to live her life and no one was abusing her. She was feeling promising. But now Sameer started to scream on her. When she didn't say anything, he took hold of her arms. She began to feel hurt. It was hurting her so much. She kept telling him to leave her. But he kept insisting that something was wrong with her. On that moment everything went blank. She felt so much anger inside. She took object and started hitting with her. She was doing it without second thought. She totally lost sense of everything. She didn't even heard screams. She didn't sense anything wrong. Then finally she sensed that people were pulling her and taking her away. She slowly began to lose her consciousness. Sameer was so shocked when she began to hit him. He never thought that she would do it. He kept thinking that she was weak but on that day she had strange strength. She was standing with strange power. Her entire body was so full of anger that she began to shiver with anger. She was feeling so upset. He needed to fight back. But he was nothing before her strength. She was hitting in such way as if she would kill him. Kids came. He thought that she would stop but she didn't. He kept trying to run but her movements were so fast that he couldn't. Finally Kids managed to call people of society. They came inside running. They tried to control her. But it was so hard. He thought that she was going to kill him. But then slowly she lost her sense and fainted. He was so happy. He immediately tried to stand up. But he sensed that he couldn't. His leg was bend in strange way. He was screaming in pain. He wanted to abuse Seema but he was no longer in condition. They took him to hospital. When he came to sense in hospital, he felt so helpless. He remembered Janvi. He called her " Janvi something very wrong happened?" He told all to her. Janvi took deep breath and said " Really sad. I was warning you again and again. She was not coming out but you were not interested." Sameer felt so sad. He was not interested since he began to get interested in Janvi. He sensed that he was totally wrong. He didn't have anyone of his side now. Janvi suddenly stopped talking. Then he heard her sweet voice while talking to her husband. She was not interested in his family. She just disconnected his call. He switched off mobile. Then he noticed his Kids. They were watching him with full attention. " Dad Auntie is not coming." He nodded. Sameer started crying. He sensed one thing that he lost everything. After some time psychiatrist of Seema contacted him. He told him that she was suffering from Depression which lead to maniac attack. Did you have dispute between husband and wife?" He told all honestly. It was upsetting. Then Psychiatrist said slowly " I doubt that she might not want to patch up.." " I know. And I am not interested in it too. We have lost those emotions between us. But I will make payment." Sameer did as per he said. But he was expecting her visits for kids but she never came. Even during divorce case she tried to stay away from him. He sensed that she didn't want any connection with him. He remarried. But his wife was not like Seema. His kids never adjusted with stepmom. Soon they shifted in hostel and went away from him. He managed to remain stuck in that marriage which was meaningless. He had two kids but he never had that affection towards them. He never sensed that he managed to damage his life when he started to get attracted towards Janvi but it was too late. It was his fault but he couldn't correct it so he kept moving ahead in life the way it went.
The End
