Poisonous blood
Sometimes Arpita started to dream new house. She knew that she was not rich enough to get it. But she always thought that hoping for it didn't harm her. She began to feel so hopeful. She was small. She just managed to complete college. She needed to study further. But then she felt that she might needed to just get job. She knew that her future. would be great. She felt confident about it. She never felt anything could go wrong with her life. She was so sure about everything. She went to check out her face in mirror. She kept watching her face for sometime. She didn't able to see anything wrong in it. She was looking more and more beautiful day by day. She was so confident. She began to feel so much freshness. She thought that she could become most wonderful person in world if she decided to do that. She began to watch her face in mirror. She knew that she needed to apply proper make up. She needed to look great. She searched in her cupboard for her make-up. She searched for long time. But she didn't see it. She was so upset. She needed to do it. She was so upset she finally found make up. She began to look at each item. Every make up item had wonderful smell. She started to began enchanting effect on her. She began to think that item had strength to touch to soul. Her every item had new colour that looked so enchanting. Just by looking at every item had special effect on her mind. Her make up started to give hope to her. She was feeling so wonderful by each item. Her best friend gave it to her. She still remembered that day when her friend Kiran gifted it to her on birthday. She was in college for entire day. She was waiting for someone who could say happy birthday to her. She was hoping her best friend would remember her birthday. It was important to her. She needed someone who would remember her most important day. She saw other girls having friends who would plan their birthdays. She was part of one group. But she didn't seem to be truely belonged to it. She wanted to be part but she never felt like it. Still she kept following them. She dressed properly on each day. She was trying to adjust in college group. She tried so hard. She needed to enjoy her college life which was needed since all around her had it. She knew that wonderful college life was must thing. She started to search for ways to have it. She needed a group. Everyone told her that in college she must joined group of friends. She began to search on proper group. She didn't find one for long time. Finally she found one. That group looked promising at beginning but soon she sensed that it was not as nice as she thought. They didn't like her that much. They kept showing off. At beginning they pretended. There was one girl extra in their group who needed someone who could sit next to her during lectures. No one wanted to sit alone so it was causing argument in group so they kept her. But she still expected that girl who was sitting next to her would remember her birthday. She kept waiting but no one mentioned her. Then she decided to mention it personally. She was so happy when she mentioned it. She felt that they all would be happy. She wanted to give party but they all just said happy birthday. Then they all started to make their planning. Soon she sensed that they all were too busy. She smiled and decided that they didn't have time so it was okay. She didn't insist on anything. They all went away in their way. She was walking away when her friend called from behind. Actually she was not even friendly with that girl but she called her and said " Happy Birthday. This is your gift. I am so sorry. I can't make it to your birthday party.." She nodded. She smiled and took her gift. She was so happy. She didn't want to open it in college. But she managed to open it little bit. She was so shocked. It was a make up box. She was shy girl. She never did make-up. She was so simple. She felt that it was useless. Then she looked around. She sensed that every girl was using lipstick. She needed to use it. She needed to look just like them. She attended lecture. Then she went in rest room during recess. She observed herself in mirror. She slowly applied lipstick on her lips. She tried to draw it like her painting. She did line of lips first. When she managed to get her lips in shape as she wanted she smiled then she added colour inside. She did it in systematic way. She saw her lips. They were beautiful. She began to feel like enchantress. She started looking like some magnet. She was so sure about herself. She came back and sat on Bench. She was so confident. When professor asked question for first time she raised her hand and she answered. She was so sure of herself. She started saying it. She was stammering little. She felt that she was good. She kept doing it. She suddenly felt as if something was controlling her. She sensed it first time. She was so sure now that this makeup box had something. She was feeling so desperate for a makeup box. She knew that no one loved makeup box so much. Normally people ignored them. But she couldn't. She could sense that her friend did some trick. She started to sense that she was obsessed with that friend too. She knew that she was under hold of her friend. She could sense it by watching her. She was so upset. She wanted to scream on her but she couldn't. She kept answering. Her professor looked confused. But she was so lucky that her professor didn't say anything. He just nodded and said " You must try more. Your speech is not good today. If you keep on like that you will find it hard to get job. Public speaking is important. But I am happy you are trying to improve." She nodded. She sat down. She watched towards her friend who gave her gift. She could still feel her eyes on her. She could sense that her entire body was changing. She couldn't say how but it was changing. As if she was turning in some different creature. It seemed as if her entire body was becoming something unusual. She began to look towards her body. She felt so happy. But then she wanted to cry. She didn't understand why did her emotions kept changing. She began to sense that someone was controlling them. She knew that who was it. She knew that she was caged.
Arpita still remembered that day as yesterday. Kiran was sitting. Kiran was smiling. She felt that Kiran was planting something in her mind. She could sense it. She began to sense wonderful feeling in her soul. She sensed that some different sort of energy was entering in her body. That day when she sat after answering her question. She sensed for first time something was changed inside. She sensed that inside her vein something entered. She began to look towards her hand and she noticed. Her vein was blue. She began to shiver just by touching it. She sensed that some poision was entering inside her. She knew that this makeup box was some sort of gateway of this world. She knew that she was poisonous now. She was a beauty which had wrong appeal inside her. She shivered. She knew that she never did anything wrong in life. But now she was changed. She didn't understand what she needed to do now. It was her beginning. From that day she started watching Kiran. Kiran was very smart. Kiran never showed any friendship before others. She kept her strength hidden before world. She didn't let anyone understand trap she set for Arpita. Arpita waited but Kiran didn't provide any clue to her. Arpita didn't understand why did she changed her. But from that day Arpita began to feel strange desire to drink milk. Soon she sensed that she wanted to dance on specific music too. She began to sense that she was become snake. She knew that no one would believe her but it was actually happening. She was so upset. But she had no one to share her miseries with. She knew that no one would believe her. But she wanted some solution so she started to follow Kiran. She still remembered those days when she used to follow her. She needed to do it very carefully. She used to hide as much as she could. She tried to hide behind car. She began to walk slowly. She tried to do her spying her best. But Kiran always used to chat to one car driver and used to went away with him. She didn't understand who was that man or woman. But her search stopped after it. This Kiran changed her life. She was no longer that sweet and nice Arpita. She was changed. She started to talk too fast but in bold style. She began to apply different types of make-up. She started to feel different. She knew that she was changed. She could sense that poison inside her. She was moving in her veins. She was thinking about it when she was watching her body. She began to think how lucky she was that she understood trick to control it. She saw one person drinking a potion of leaves. She planted same tree. She was taking that potion daily. She could see her vein were blue but her blood was still red. She needed to confirm it time to time so she kept cutting herself sometimes. She knew that her Mom didn't like her this procedure. She didn't do it again and again. She just used to do weekly. Once in a week she used to cut vein. She used to check that blood must not become blue. One day she forgot it totally. Then she remembered. She didn't have her usual pin so she needed something. She went in kitchen and took of knife. She was very careful. It was not big cut. It was just small cut. She kept observing it. She confirmed blood was coming out of it. That blood was red. No one could doubt about it. That blood was red. She was so happy but she didn't sense that it fall on kitchen platform. Mom entered in kitchen on that time. She began to scream. Mom " What happened? How did you hurt yourself?" " I was cutting tomatoes." Luckily she noticed tomatoes in corner. She was not planning to tell truth to Mom. She knew that Mom might decide to send her to doctor. She knew that it all seemed like madness but it was not. She knew that change. Her Mom seemed concerned. But she was convinced that it was just for eating tomato. She was so fond of salads. Mom just insisted that she must not try to do it again. Mom " I will do it." She pretended. " Mom I am not kid." After it she kept doing same thing again and again. Her Mom tried to object her entry in kitchen. But entire house laughed. They all felt that Mom was overreacting. She was trying to learn cooking. Her Dad in fact said " Come on! Our daughter might become famous cook one day. Remember the one we saw on TV that day." Mom smiled and said " Her fingers were perfect and she was cutting so fast." " She is trying to just do that and in it she is cutting her fingers!" Mom didn't seem to be convinced. She was so happy that her brother and sister also supported her. They all felt that Mom was over reacting. She kept taking that potion and her blood didn't turn blue. She started to look at herself in mirror today. She watched herself carefully. She needed a job now. She knew that Kiran would decide which one was perfect. She was just puppet. She felt so upset by all this. She wanted to control her life but sadly she lost all control long ago. She took deep breath. She was feeling so sad. She didn't understand how did she supposed to feel happy. But then suddenly her mood changed. That poison in her body started to give her new energy. She took internet and started searching for jobs. She found one company and went there. She felt so sure that she would get job here. She got ready with her pink lipstick. It was colour to get job. It would give her power over Boss who was planning to judge her. She applied it. She was about to go out. On that point her Mom came. Mom smiled and said " You must eat something. You must not go for interview on hungry stomach." She nodded and agreed. She needed to eat something. She took deep breath and went in hall. She was planning to eat before TV. She was planning to watch something interesting on it. She might see that new serial started on poisonous girl. She knew that it was fiction but she felt that it might have some angle of truth. She decided to watch it carefully while eating her lunch.
Mom was watching Arpita. She could sense that something was wrong. Arpita was talking so fast. She knew that people did it. Even normal human being had habit of talking fast. But still she felt something was wrong. She sensed that Arpita was cutting her finger without cause. She tried to explain all but no one believed her. She knew that something was wrong. She saw Arpita watching herself in mirror. She felt that Arpita sometimes started to talk to herself. But then Arpita stopped. She began to look at her hands. She started to touch her skin in strange way. As if she was confirming something. Mom didn't notice any difference in her skin. Arpita seemed totally normal in physical way. Mom didn't understand why did she kept watching her skin. Mom felt so nervous by this. Today Arpita was going for job interview. Mom wanted her to get job. Mom insisted in giving her some food. Mom was so confused. Arpita's Auntie had mental trouble. She never told about it to anyone. Her Auntie kept taking medicines. She seemed fine but it increased during pregnancy she needed to stop. Mom felt that Arpita was showing same signs. Sometimes she wished that she could just give same medicine to Arpita. She didn't want to tell anyone. She wanted to hide Arpita's trouble. Mom tried so hard to discuss her troubles with her father but sadly her father ignored. Her father kept saying " She is just fine." But Mom knew that she was not. She was acting so strange. She didn't chat with her brother or sister that much sometimes. But sometimes she began to chat so much. It seemed that she didn't make any sense since she was too fast. She kept jumping from one topic to another. She tried her best to call her normal. But she was not. Then she told herself that she was getting paranoid. She began to search for excuses for her nervousness about her daughter. But she found none. She took deep breath and said " I am so happy. You are planning to get new job." Then Mom noticed Aprita was holding her hand strange way. Mom came near her. Mom sensed that due to holding it strange way. Her hand got wounded. It was looking blue. Mom screamed " What are you trying to do?" She took deep breath. She was feeling so restless. Arpita's hand had blue marks on it. She began to feel so upset. How could Kiran hurt her hand like that. Arpita smiled and turned to Mom and said " Don't you see? I have blue hand. It is poison! Right?" " No it is clotting because you hold it in harsh way. Don't you feel it's pain?" Arpita was so confused. She didn't understand why did she do it? Her hand was paining but she needed to stop. She stopped. Mom looked at her hand. Mom " I don't think you should go to interview today?" But Arpita was feeling special energy inside her. " I must go today. I mean I have one wonderful chance of getting success. I am full of poison now. Kiran gave it to me." Mom shivered. Mom " Did you drink poison?" " No..no I am poison. Mom you don't understand. I am made of poison. I have strength of that poison. It start to reduce my heart beats. I can sense them with my soul." Mom was so confused. Arpita "Where is my lunch?" Mom kept looking at her for some minutes then she came to her sense and said " I will bring it!" Mom brought it. Arpita ate it in such way as if she never said anything mad like poison inside her. She ate properly. Then she cleaned her hands and went to interview. Whole time Mom was shivering. Her Mom sensed that worst had happened. Mom sensed that she was dreaming like her Auntie. She was living in fictional world. It was so irritating. She knew that Arpita was having problems. Arpita went away. Mom didn't understand what she supposed to do. Arpita smiled and went away. Arpita was so happy. She knew that she could do it. She sat in car. On that point she sensed that someone was watching her. She looked out. She couldn't see anyone. But she knew. She took deep breath and went to her destination. When she entered in reception area, she talked with receptionist in such nice way that she got her appointment immediately. She was planning to go inside at any cost. She needed to do it. Then she went inside. She showed her every idea. She did it in such way that person who was taking interview was so shockd. He kept watching her enchanted way. It was so impressive. She told her every idea. She came home with confidence. When she told all her Dad was on top of the world, Mom knew that her suggestions wouldn't have effect but still she kept giving. Arpita was so happy. Kiran was holding her spirit but she was giving her success. She could sense that power of poison inside. She knew that she would win. It was so wonderful. She felt as if she was in some fast track wonderland ride and she was enjoying it. She kept drinking potion and kept confirming her blood was red. It was perfect. No one was objecting. Her Mom looked upset sometimes but Mom couldn't do anything. She kept watching whatever was happening. Arpita was getting success in her job. Her creativity was no doubt wonderful gift of God. But Mom was sensing one curse attached with it. Mom was observing day by day Arpita's make-up was increasing. Her entire face started to look strange by dark blue lipstick one day. Then next day she wore dark red. It was worst when she used green one. But no one could stop her. Arpita was earning money so she was precious treasure to all. Everyone loved her. Arpita was so confident. But then one day she sensed that something was wrong. She was working in office when she sensed that Kiran was telling her to laugh. She started laughing. She kept laughing for long time. Her Boss was upset since he didn't want her to distrub entire office like that. He didn't fire her but she lost her one important project. She sensed that it was beginning of her failures. She knew that she was doomed. She came home that day and went in her room. She kept crying for long time. She was so sure that Kiran took away something from her. She wanted it back but she was not sure that Kiran would gave it. She didn't have any contact number or connection with Kiran. She started to get more and more upset.
Arpita's Boss began to get upset with her work. She was living in dream. She didn't have any practical concept. He was not planning to waste his money on her stupidity. He started to remove her from project step by step. Arpita started to feel upset. She kept taking that potion. But she could sense that Kiran was taking control of her mind step by step. Kiran was taking her away from her object. Then one day she began to feel she needed to reduce blood from her body. She needed to take out poison. She started to cut herself. She began to feel pain but she was feeling happy. She was glad that finally poison was out of her body. She kept doing it until she didn't lost her conscious. Her Mom was shocked when she saw Arpit in blood and wound. Mom called hospital. It was hard to understand. Mom couldn't able to tell cause of this to Cops or Doctors. But when Arpita woke up, she confessed about poison in blood. Cops looked shocked. Cops came out and said " We will not make case against her if you start her mental treatment! But you must start it immediately." Mom and Dad nodded. Then they went to psychiatric ward of same hospital. Cops introduced them to psychiatrist who immediately agreed to start treatment. They did physical treatment on wounds first. Then she was admitted in hospital for mental treatment. Psychiatrist told them that she was suffering from Disorganised Schizophrenia. Psychiatrist said that she would become perfectly cured. She might need treatment again and again. But if she took medicine then she could easily move ahead and live normal life. They nodded. They went back. Mom cried so much on that night. But Arpita didn't mind staying in hospital. She was so upset and in so much pain. She talked with Psychiatrist and it helped. After such long time she felt that Kiran was losing grip of her mind. She was smiling in sleep. It was just wonderful thing.
The End
