Smita's new boss
Smita was counting different concept which opened different idea to impress clients. She needed to do all. Smita was so concerned that she might do something wrong to upset her Boss. At fixed time her Boss Pradip supposed to come. It was so fixed. She never dared to come late. Her Boss would get upset if she did. She felt so stressed by thought of coming late & listening angry voice of Boss. Pradip’s father was nice person. He was strict but he never insulted anyone. She still remembered Pradip’s father with positive vibes. She never thought this could turn this way. She always thought that it would be move ahead same way. She was so sad when Pradip’s father died. But he was old man. Entire world said that he died after living long & healthy life. It was clear that he was going to die one day & Pradip was going to take over. She knew that it was needed. But still she was hoping somewhere in her heart that her old Boss would live forever. Her family didn’t capable to manage all without her financial support. Her husband was working hard for hours but it was not enough. She needed to keep this job. She needed to find at least twenty concepts to impress client. She needed to present them full as project then Pradip read them. She needed to keep doing them one after another. It kept happening. She kept doing project after project. She wanted to keep creating them. She planned to make different concepts. She knew that out of them. Pradip would choose one. At beginning she was tried to tell but then she knew that she needed to do all. She kept doing it. Even today she did at least thirteen concepts. She created them all. She created all representations on slides. She managed to make it all perfect. She began to feel relaxed after she rehearsal them all. She was confident. She was ready. She was going to do all those projects at any cost. She began to feel so upset. She needed to do all. But she didn’t question. She kept doing it best way. Smita counted that they were thirteen. She smiled happily. She knew that they all had positive impact. Pradip entered in room. She immediately stood up. She smiled but he didn’t return. He never returned smile. It was okay for her. She knew that some people didn’t smile so easily. Then he came towards her table. Pradip “ So? Have you done all?” She nodded. She immediately started to showing it. Pradip gave them a look which showed that they all were disgusting. He always managed to criticise everything without even watching it. This was Pradip’s attitude. He liked all. He never showed positive attitude to anything. He always hated all. It was so upsetting. He needed to find something positive in her work but he didn’t. Pradip began to look towards papers carelessly. “ It’s okay. You need to impress client not me.” She nodded. “ Did you arranged snacks for them?” Pradip asked. She was confused. “ I don’t plan anything. I want to plan something properly. I need to arrange all but I thought project is important..” “ You are so stupid! Client get impressed by expensive snacks & VIP welcome! You need to do it.” Pradip began to arrange all in room. He said slowly “ My stupid Dad never understood value of interior decoration or luxurious showpiece!” Smita felt so hurt. She always liked her old Boss. She wanted to say something to support her dead Boss but she didn’t dare. She was scared Pradip might start taunting her character. Once one lady started to suggest Pradip that he must not talk like that about his Dad. It was so frustrating. Pradip was literally abusing his Dad. Pradip didn’t say anything on her face. But as soon as that lady was out of side he started to talk “ I feel this lady was attached to Dad. She might be dating..” then he laughed in strange way. She hated him so much. She didn’t dare to say. She was so scared that he might start abusing her too. Pradip was strange man. He was so obsessed with just himself. He didn’t think about anything more than himself. He turned to her & told her “ We need interior decoration. I want you to arrange for it.” “ What?” She was so shocked. She needed to pack so much for it. Pradip gave her angry look. “ I have discussed with client. They will come little bit late now we need to renovate office before it.” She nodded. She decided that she could pack up little bit but after that she could just relax. She knew that she did those projects unnecessarily in hurry. She could have done them slowly. But finally she couldn’t change it. “ Okay sir. I start packing step by step.” Pradip nodded. She began to pack things. She started to take all in godown. It was small & unique. She knew that her old Boss set code to open it. She was only one who knew it. She tried to tell it to Pradip but he didn’t care. He was not interested in those codes. She was ordered to keep things in that godown & take them out. Pradip was not supposed to be taking care of those matters. Pradip just needed to boss around. She knew that Pradip needed to pay attention to these matters but she didn’t want to argue. She packed all inside. She looked sadly towards projects she did. She practiced them all. She did thirteen projects for days. She felt so sad. She began to see how useless they would be now. She just packed them & then she put them carefully. She locked door. She went to Pradip & gave him keys. He just gave her angry look & told her that she could go home. She went home. She told all to her husband. Her husband Ravi gave her confused look. Ravi “ But you work for those projects for many nights. I don’t understand his attitude. Are you sure that he is not planning to close business?” She felt so scared. “ I never thought that way. But he is renovating!” “ Yes renovate then they sell that place. It will look great. Client agreed to purchase flat only when it look nice.” Smita gave nervous look. Smita “ Do you feel I need to search for another job?” “ Well I am not sure but you can start trying.” Ravi went to sleep after saying this. Ravi was so tired that he fall asleep in seconds. She was sleeping on bed without sleep for half night. She wanted to feel normal but she was not feeling normal at all.
Next morning Smita woke up feeling tense. She wanted to feel secure. But she was feeling sad. She kept thinking about job. She was not ready to change job. She wanted this job. It was perfect for her. Her salary was good too. She knew that Pradip was not great Boss. But she liked it. She wanted to feel safe. She began to get restless at thought of finding new Boss. It was so upsetting. Her job seemed so uncertain. She began to think what she supposed to do. She didn’t cooking as normal housewife. She was not fond of that life style now. She knew soon maid would come & she would receive questions about why she was in her house. It was so odd. She owned this house but when she stayed in it she felt guilty. Entire world kept telling her that she needed to earn. Sometimes she just wished that she should fire servant. She would start staying at home. She loved this idea. She was not sure that she could go back so it seemed best. She couldn’t fire her maid. Of course she could. She would tell that she lost her job so she wanted to do all herself. They would accept it. She was so confused. She didn’t understand what was her hope. She was hoping for job or just wanted to settle in simple life in house. She didn’t understand what she supposed to do. Her doorbell rang. Her maid came in. Her maid immediately made face of approval. “ You are in home today.” She nodded “ & I feel it can be permanent. I am doing work from home.” “ Ohh.” Maid said it in such tone that Smita sensed that Maid wanted her to go back to work. She was so upset. She didn’t comment much & immediately she went back in her bedroom. She decided that she was not planning to live this way. She began to plan life inside her house. She began to start surfing on internet. She started to search for music. She loved singing from childhood. She never had time to sing. Today she decided that she could try. She kept singing in room. When maid came she stopped for sometime then she continued again. Her maid was convinced that she was busy. Then when maid went away, she went in kitchen & cooked snacks for her son. Her son was coming home soon. She was so upset that she planned nothing. In emergency she planned one snack. When her son came, she gave it. He ate some then he ran to play. Soon she started cleaning his stuff. Now she was doing all peacefully. Then she started cleaning her house. She began to feel so involved. Then she sat before TV. Her entire day was nice. She planned to stay at home only. She wanted to live some happy married life too. But then she sensed that money might be issue but her Ravi’s Mom called her on that time. She took her call. She slowly explained her situation to her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law said happily “ Honestly I wanted you to quit job for long time.” Then they chatted for long time. Smita felt so happy by singing. She began to think that she started to feel singing different song. It would give pleasant appeal. She wanted to sing & she knew that Ravi would do it if her mother-in-law supported her. Smita wanted to sing & relax now. She wanted pleasant life but she decided that she would quit her job. When Ravi came home, she started to convince him. He agreed easily. He was no longer hoping that she would get another job. It seemed so hard. He suggested that it was better to do household work. Smita soon started to practice her music & take care of her house. Her life began to become normal. On that month she didn’t receive her salary. She felt so upset. But then she couldn’t argue. She was not going in office. She was in her home. She didn’t call Pradip. She decided that she would just ignore it. She didn’t want to talk with him. She kept working in home. Slowly her singing videos started to get admired too. She began to think that she one day might participate in some talent show. She started to sing different songs which showed different appeal. At beginning she thought that her son would object but son started enjoy it too. Overall her life was pleasant. She didn’t miss her office that much. She kept thinking positively in mind. She started to sing different song. She began to think that she didn’t need job. But one day suddenly Pradip called her. Pradip “ You can come to office from tomorrow.” She didn’t recognise his voice at beginning. She just asked “ I don’t understand with whom I am talking?” Pradip “ Stupid lady! I am your Boss. How could you forget voice of your Boss? Don’t you want to earn salary again?!” She was so confused. She just wanted to say no to all. But Pradip began to scream “ I want to start office immediately. Go & arrange things back in office. I just called clients they are coming.. & bring your 13 projects. You must present them before clients.” She was so shocked. She didn’t remember much about those projects now. She said in confused voice “ I totally forgot about them!” Pradip screamed with anger “ Are you out of your mind? You were at home just for three months! How could you forget all?!” She felt so shocked. She looked towards calendar. She was in home for just three months but it felt like three years. She gave so confusing look to days. She said slowly “ Sir I thought about it. I like to quit this job.” “ But why? You want salary of those three months? I will give it to you. I send it in your bank account..” “ No sir. It’s not about salary. I just don’t remember it.” “ What? I don’t understand what did you forget? Any way do you remember code of godown? Come & open it. Then you can quit this job but I will not pay you that three months salary. You managed to quit job without warning.” She didn’t understand what she supposed to say. But she didn’t remember that code. She knew that she must had kept it somewhere. She started to try to remember it. She couldn’t. She said slowly “ I don’t remember it.” Pradip immediately started threatening & abusing her. She was so scared. She tried to think hard. Finally Pradip said “ I heard enough of your nonsense! Now I want you to understand that I will file Police complaint against you. I want that code.”then he disconnected call.
Smita shivered with fear. It was so hard. She tried so hard to remember that number. She kept thinking about alternative numbers. She started thinking about all numbers. She was so confused. She kept creating list of numbers in mind. She was not sure about them. She wanted to sing but she couldn’t. She was scared. She cooked perfect snacks for her son. She needed to hide it. She controlled all her feelings. When Ravi came before her she wanted to cry. She controlled her tears. Ravi was so shocked. He asked “ What happened?” & she lost her control. She began to cry uncontrollably. She kept telling herself with sorrowfully. It was so upsetting. Ravi was observing her with shock. She didn’t understand her troubles until she didn’t hear her own voice. It seemed as if someone else was crying. She could hear her own voice. It was strange sorrow. It belonged to her but still she felt as if she was observing it. She kept understanding those pains. She wanted to stay away from them. Ravi kept telling her to calm. Then step by step she slowly told everything to Ravi. Ravi was so shocked. He never thought that he needed to get involved in such big trouble. He was so confused. He began to think about his lawyer friend. He was so scared that she might land in jail. He called his lawyer friend. His lawyer friend asked about name of security company who did that lock. She was so scared. She didn’t remember it. She didn’t remember anything. She was trying so hard. She started crying slowly. Ravi said softly “ Just relax.” Then he told his lawyer friend that she didn’t remember. His friend said “ Just gave me number of her Boss. I will manage it.” Smita was so scared. She was shivering. That night she didn’t eat anything. She was feeling so sick. She kept crying. Ravi thought that she would relax after sometime. Ravi was hoping his lawyer friend would help them. For two days Smita kept crying. She was literally locked it her room. Their son also started getting nervous. Ravi could see fear in his eyes too. Ravi sensed that entire house was getting scared. Smita’s fear was shifting in other people too. It was impossible to control it. She kept feeling so upset. He didn’t understand what he supposed to do. He waited for his lawyer friend to response. Finally after a week his lawyer friend called & told “ I settled all. We contacted company & godown is opened. Actually Pradip seem okay if Smita wanted to come back on job..but I feel he is little bit too harsh. I know getting job is hard but still..” “ She is not going back there.” Then Ravi told how did she was reacting. His lawyer friend sounded nervous then slowly said “ Why don’t you take her to psychiatrist?” “ Psychiatrist? She is fine. She is just scared.” “ I know but my wife use to have a irritating dream repeatedly. I was feeling so nervous! I felt that I will get over my troubles then it will stop. I had one serious case. I need to fight for victim. For long time I waited but nothing seem to work. She kept getting irritated. She started to stay awake with coffee instead of sleeping in night. It began to get worst. So I decided to go for Psychiatrist. I feel we need to do something to cure her. It worked. At beginning she use to dream but she tried to sleep it was success in our eyes. Now she sleep so peacefully even I envy her sometimes.” Ravi was listening to this. Ravi began to feel that it was worth trying. Ravi took number then without second thought Ravi took appointment. Ravi told Smita later that they might go for walk but she was so scared. She was not ready to go out. She was feeling totally nervous. She kept thinking in different ways. She felt so upset. She was telling herself that Pradip was not going to arrest her but Pradip’s fear was still strong in her mind. She kept thinking about it. She wanted to forget all but she couldn’t. She felt so sad. When Ravi took her out for lunch whole time she kept looking behind. Smita sensed one thing that she needed to reduce her fear. She kept trying hard to remain positive but it was not working. She kept feeling nervous. Ravi slowly told her about appointment of Psychiatrist. She was nervous at beginning but then she slowly agreed to it. She smiled & agreed. She told Ravi “ I can sense I am not normal & most importantly I can sense my fears are shifting to our son. It is so scary. I don’t want to my son to feel that way. Let’s go to Psychiatrist. But then I feel if I visit Psychiatrist do you feel they will consider me mad?” Smita gave Ravi a nervous look. Ravi smiled & said “ Why does you need to tell world? We can go anytime we want! No one is here to follow us.” She nodded. Then he told about appointment. She was nervous but then she felt okay. She decided to go along with Ravi’s idea. Smita began to feel little bit relaxed about that idea now. She wanted to feel happy about it. She couldn’t but she knew that she needed to do it. So she decided to do it. She went with Ravi with tense mood. But when she entered in room, Psychiatrist managed to relax her. She began to feel okay. She started to go out with pleasant thoughts. She kept getting nervous. She was so scared. She decided that she could feel happy about all. She began to sense that Pradip managed to instigate Anxiety disorder in her. Psychiatrist explained that it was common. She sensed that it was not something unique. She could easily get over it. She began to tell herself that she would be happy if she could manage to get positive in her life. She started to think that she needed to get over her Anxieties. Psychiatrist taught her that how did she supposed to do it. She began to understand it. When she came back home, she was not cure but she knew her trouble & it helped her a lot. She began to think positively about all. She started to get nervous due to her fears. But after this treatment she finally got over them. She began to feel she could be happy. She smiled herself with positive hope. She smiled happily. Ravi was watching her. He was so happy first time after so many days she finally smiled & it was biggest achievement for him. He knew that he did right thing. He received one call from office. She gave him nervous look. Fear was there but when he said “ I need to go to office. My office needed be daily can’t manage one vacation. I hope you understand.” These days she just wanted him to stay with her but this time Smita smiled & said “ Of course I understand otherwise I will not get money to feed me & my child. I hope it will be in one five star hotel soon.” Then they both laughed. It was their dream. They never visited five star since they didn’t want to waste money they wanted to save it.
The End
