Not so rich
Tushar was looking forward for new job. He started thinking about it as new hope of his life. His life was so different before his Dad's death. He knew that he never thought that his Dad would die like that. One day he was perfect. He was discussing their future. Next morning he was dead. It was heart attack. His Mom went in shock. His Mom didn't speak for few days. But then she needed to go to job. She needed to feed all after Dad's death. One day she came in their room. He had two elder sisters Priti & Charu. They all used to share one bedroom. But slowly he started to grow & his sisters wanted him out of their room as soon as possible. He didn't understand why. He never distrubed them. But soon everyone began to say boy must not stay in room of girls. He was so upset. But they told him that he was heir. He needed to get training. Those girls could stay like this. They just needed to learn cooking. He was happy by this thought. He began to plan his future. But then suddenly his Dad died. Mom started to scream on him whenever he demanded something. But he knew that he was male member of family. He needed to take hold. He always gave suitable answer to his Mom. One day he said " Why you never suggested medical check up to Dad?" His Mom was laughing about something. He wanted her to cry so he asked her. She was so shocked. She began to scream on him. " What are you suggesting?" " Nothing I am just saying we need to do check up again & again. You can see worst results of it." He began to watch her carefully. She was no longer angry. She was depressed. She was going under his thumb. He needed to do that. He knew that he needed to control them all if he wanted happiness in his life. He started to do it. His Mom immediately went to family Doctor discussed about medical check up who appreciated idea. Then they decided to go there. He planned all. He managed to collect all information regarding it before then he started acting as if he was some hero who knew everything. Actually he knew where his family Doctor would send them. He planned all. He began to arrange everything. He acted with such attitude that his sisters got scared. He screamed on them. He began to convince them that like their father they might die too. They all started obeying. Dad's death created impact on their mind. They were so scared. He began to use their fear on every point. He started to enjoy it on every point. He began to sense happiness when they started to shiver on each word. They started to feel fear inside. He began to use it to dominate them. Tushar was so happy. His Dad's death was proving beneficial to him. Tushar was becoming strong due to it. Today when he went out, Priti came running to him. "Tushar can I join those Gitar classes?" Tushar kept thinking for long time. He didn't know much about them. But he was not planning to tell her truth. She was elder. She supposed to be married off by now. But they didn't find a suitable husband. He loved to taunt her about it. So he said " I don't think Gitar classes can impress boys? You must go to cooking class or try to find job! Truthfully everyone love money. That love between girlfriend & boyfriend can't feed.. can't give AC or car.. people want money from wife." Her face became sad. She said it herself. " You are right this is just waste of money. You are so wise." He smiled & said " I did this all just for you." Priti nodded. He was so happy. Priti was following his every advice blindly. She began to think that he knew all. He smiled. He could tell them anything & they would believe him. Now he needed to find boys who were beneficial to him when he needed to married them off. He began to do that research he needed to two boys who would give benefits to him. Today he was going to go for this job then afterwards he would meet one boy. He seemed nice to him. That boy was offering a free membership to gym. Now that was perfect boy. He had so much influence. They said that he drank little bit too much on few occasions. But it was common. He didn't want to waste money on gym & but he wanted to remain slim. He was so happy to get that chance. He wanted her sister to marry him. He was going to introduce him to both sister. Today he was in hurry for his job still he stopped & slowly turned to his sister Priti " Actually I have one friend. Remember that one who sent those foreign chocolates!" Priti immediately started to get pink with excitement. It was so much fun. He knew that she loved those chocolates. Truthfully she needed to understand that she must stop eating them. Her teeth had cavities & her skin was getting effected. But at this moment he just wanted her to see how important that boy was for her. He began tell her " He bought those chocolates specifically for us.." now Priti asked most important question which he didn't sense as next question. Priti " For whom? Me or Charu?" Tushar sensed that there was entry of jealousy between both sisters. He was so happy. He could use it for his benefits. He smiled & said " How could I ask him? Let him come. I will introduce both then he will select." Priti nodded happily. He smiled then he once again got tense about this job. He got it due to his Dad's connection. That man had sympathy for his family. It was so upsetting. He wanted not sympathy but respect from others. Any way he wanted this job at any cost then he would manage to get control there too. He went ahead with interview with full confidence. But he soon sensed that they didn't like him. He seemed little bit too arrogant. It seemed as if they didn't like him. He was so upset. He knew that he was not going to get job. So he decided to meet Rocky that rich boy who was offering his gym membership & he was planning to marry his one sister to him. It was perfect arrangment in his eyes. He felt just one thing that he needed to find some way to settle it. He called Rocky. Rocky immediately invited him. He was so happy. Now he needed to just convince Rocky to meet his sisters. He needed Rocky on his side at any cost. He began to smile. He looked towards company office which rejected him. He angrily threw away their interview letter in dustbin & said "I will teach you a lesson. You rejected me. You will regret it."
Rocky was drinking again. He was excited that Tushar was coming. It was nice to meet Tushar. He always offered him some news of entertainment. Today he sensed that Tushar had some plan. Rocky didn't mind entertaining Tushar for few hours. When doorbell rang servant ran to open it. Rocky kept watching. Tushar came in. Tushar noticed that Rocky was drinking in morning. It was too early to start drinking but he didn't mind. He just wanted to convince Rocky to meet his sisters. Tushar sat next to Rocky. Then he felt that he must not sat so near. Rocky clearly didn't like it so he sat on sofa which was located on opposite side. Rocky " What happened?" He gave sweet smile. Then he said " I have two sisters." Rocky smiled. Clearly Rocky was enjoying this game. Rocky must be meeting plenty of girls. He was dating with plenty of girls. They all wanted to marry. Tushar sensed that Rocky might be playing with girl's heart. But he was not concerned. He just wanted to give it a try. Rocky " Show me pictures." He showed. Rocky smiled. He began to criticize his sisters. Rocky " I don't like Priti's overweight. She needed to reduce it." He nodded. " Then her skin is not good too.." then Rocky took Charu's photo. " Her complexion is not as white as Priti & she is too thin. In fact her height is so small." Rocky gave him angry look. " I don't like them." Tushar felt so irritated. He wished that he could change them. Tushar smiled "Come on just give them one chance." Rocky kept thinking for some time then he nodded. It was so upsetting. Tushar wanted him to say yes. Rocky took deep breath. Then Rocky nodded. " Fine I will come in next week." Tushar was so happy. Tushar returned home with smile. Mom thought that he got job. But Tushar smiled & said " No but I managed to do better thing." Mom looked shocked. Mom " What?" " I have one friend called Rocky. He is rich & smart. He is coming in evening. He will select on out of Priti & Charu." Mom was shocked. Mom " But you should have selected one. You can't just show them both.." " It's okay Mom." He turned. Priti was so happy. Charu was clearly not interested. Charu " Mom I don't like this system. I want to decide my husband by my choice." Tushar screamed " Shut up, do you have enough sense to decide? Remember that friend of yours did love marriage then came back home with two children after divorce. Love marriage never turn out to be successful." Charu began to get confused. He told Mom about financial status of Rocky. His Mom managed to fall in trap. So they all got ready. Rocky was most important. Then finally that day came. Rocky came. Rocky began to talk with all. Soon he managed to impress them all. Charu didn't got dressed like Priti. Priti kept trying hard to impress him. But Charu sat in corner quietly. Rocky was clearly impressed by Priti. Priti was so nice. Rocky decided one date with her. After that Rocky started going out with Priti. Tushar got gym pass. Rocky was planning to marry Priti but soon Tushar sensed that he was having affairs too. Tushar knew that Mom would never permit such marriage but he didn't told it to Mom. Priti was so impress by money that she didn't pay attention. But one day Charu knew it. Charu went to Mom & told all. Mom " Let's talk with Tushar first." Tushar felt so scared. Tushar knew that if Priti got married then he would get nice job in Rocky's company too. Tushar smiled & said " It might be some colleague." Then Charu told everything. Tushar looked sad. Tushar called Priti. Then let Charu told everything. Priti started crying. Then they decided to break marriage. Tushar went to Rocky told him all in advance. Rocky was fully prepared. Rocky gave excuses.. apologizes. Priti kept showing anger for few days. But she didn't want to break that marriage. She was getting so much respect due to rich husband & she knew that Tushar would never let her live peacefully in that house. She could see Tushar's attitude. Tushar was saying again & again that Priti dated Rocky..people were talking about it. So one day she called Rocky. They fixed marriage & Priti got married. Charu was so scared. She didn't say anything. Charu just kept to herself. Tushar was not interested in her. Tushar managed to use Rocky as ladder. Tushar got new flat & enjoying his life. Tushar was so happy. Tushar shifted so Charu was living her own life. On that point Tushar started to see dream Priti was standing in her balcony. He was so sure that she was standing there. He went there & started chatting with her. Priti screamed " You destroyed my life. Now I will kill myself." He shivered & started screaming. Priti jumped. He ran downstairs. He totally forgot to take lift. He reached down. He saw no one was there. He didn't understand what was wrong. He called Priti. Priti sounded perfectly normal. Then he decided to visit her. Priti was now rich. She was living in style. Rocky was having affairs. But Priti was more interested in his money than his honesty. Priti kept saying positive things about her life. He didn't see any depression in her. He went back home. He was relaxed. He felt that everything would vanish now. But on that night once again he saw Priti. She was screaming & crying. He didn't understand what he supposed to do. He began to feel that this house might had ghost. He decided to stay in his original house for one day. He didn't see anything in that house. He felt so relaxed. Then he started searching priests or people who could throw out ghost. He did all. But whenever he went to stay in that house. He started to see that ghost. Priti was perfect. She was happy. But Tushar started to feel so upset. He began to suggest her divorce. Priti was so angry. One day she decided to talk with entire family about Tushar. She called all in her house. Rocky was gone on tour. Tushar agreed to meet since once again he got pictures of Rocky with another girl on that tour. He wanted to show them to all. Charu was not interested but she was forced to attend that meeting.
Tushar came in Priti's house. Charu joined them with Mom. That house was like house of some queen. It was perfect for Priti. Then servant took them inside. Servant served them snacks & drinks. Slowly servant went inside. Then Priti started talking but Tushar stopped her. Tushar showed them proofs that Rocky had affair. Priti screamed " Stop it. That is my personal issue. I am happy in my married life." Charu " All know that Rocky had affair before marriage. It is his nature & Priti decided to adjust with it. So why you want to keep pointing Tushar?" " Because it is wrong." Priti was so shocked. " It was okay to you before marriage. Now I am married living happily & you are objecting my marriage. It is meaningless. He is calling me daily. He is irritating me." Charu was shocked. Mom screamed " Tushar I never thought this way about you. Remember once you don't got job but you were happy to get husband for your sister! Now you are hurting her marriage." He was so shocked. He was acting right. Then he slowly began to tell them all truth. Priti started laughing. " I am happy. I feel you are getting over protective." Tushar nodded. Charu said slowly " You should go to Psychiatrist." Tushar screamed on her. " You are stupid. You need one. You are mad." Then he started abusing her. He went out immediately. That night he decided to ignore Priti. But he couldn't. She kept screaming on him. He knew that it was fake Priti. It was imagination. But it kept coming back to him. Finally he took Charu's advice. He went to psychiatrist. Psychiatrist listened to him. Psychiatrist " This is not about your sister. This is about yourself. You used your sister & this is your guilt which is upsetting you." Tushar was so shocked. " You don't want to act like that. But you changed yourself since you were insecure after your father's death. You can be fine. Do you sense why you see ghost just in your flat?" Tushar "Since it is haunted." Psychiatrist laughed. " No because Rocky gave it to you since you manage to confuse your sister but it is not true. Priti was confused you. But Charu told her all. So Priti decided all willingly. You are not guilty." He nodded. He cried on that point. Then he started treatment. He shifted back home. He managed to get one small job on low salary stayed with Mom. He never saw Priti in his hallucinations again. He just saw her when she kept taunting him for acting so stupid. For Priti money was everything but he didn't want it now. He started living happily his life. He never thought that he could be happy like that. He was once again that Tushar who he was before father's death. He was happy & not so rich.
The End
