Gita's life
Gita was so excited to find new music of her choice. Every year she used to listen to music of different moods. She used to like them. She wanted to listen them. She was searching for tunes. She was excited. She loved music so much. Music was her life. She was understanding world with music. She knew that in music store she could get all. She wanted to become musician. But she knew that it was impossible task. She remembered how did she used to sing with her grandmother for hours. They didn’t use to think about what was meaning of day or night. Her grandmother used to love singing for hours. She didn’t stop too. She still remembered the way they used to sing. She then suddenly remembered worst thing. How did her father came in room & began to scream on her grandmother for spoiling her. Her Dad screamed “ Mom you are mad woman. This music can’t give anything to her. She supposed to earn not follow your stupidity. Just keep stupidity of your music away from my daughter.” Grandma gave him angry look “ Music is good thing. She is enjoying it.” “ Old lady like you doesn’t understand anything. I need to pray to God I don’t have time to waste on this mad woman.” Her Grandma started to scream on her Dad too. It was too much. Gita was so upset. Gita began to sense that pain but suddenly she came to her senses when store manager asked “ How are you Madam?” She smiled. “ I am just fine.” “ Do you want something special?” She kept searching while he continued “ Madam you purchase regularly in our shop do you want to order something special?” She didn’t answer. She never thought this way. She smiled & said “ I need to search what I wanted I will bring list tomorrow is it okay?” “ Sure Madam.” Then she kept searching. But still on every moment she felt as if manager was watching her. She didn’t understand why. She began to feel nervous & she went away. While going out she read name of Manager it was Pradip. She went out. As soon as she went out Pradip returned to his desk. He was watching her for long time. He didn’t like her. He couldn’t point out why but he hated Gita. Gita didn’t look back but she sensed that someone was watching her with anger. She was so upset. She didn’t understand what’s problem of this manager. She always came in this shop. She liked wandering in mall. She had her job in shop next to it. She was accountant in one designer clothing store. She was always respected around mall. No one minded her wandering in mall. She was targeted by this new manager. She went back in her shop. She began to wait for customers to come. She knew that this was going to be long day. She needed to keep sitting & encouraging customers while most of them were not truly interested in purchasing them. She knew that was her job. She smiled & looked towards door when it opened with hope of customer. She was shocked when she saw that it was Pradip. One sales girl Nisha was standing there. Nisha immediately came ahead & asked “ May I help you Sir?” Pradip was searching in shop for something. Gita didn’t understand what. Gita kept standing behind computer in such way that he couldn’t see her. But he kept wandering. Then he finally managed to locate her. She sensed his odd smile. He just nodded. Then he turned to Nisha & began to talk “ I need some expensive dresses for my wife.” Gita relaxed. Pratap selected three expensive dresses & came to counter to make payments. Nisha was still standing beside him. She was folding those dresses. He clearly wanted her out of picture & Gita wanted her to stay there. Luckily new customer didn’t came so Nisha stayed there. Pratap made payment & went away. As soon as Pratap went out, Nisha came to Gita & asked “ Do you know him?” “ Yes. He is manager of that store which sell musical CDs.” “ Ohh so you visit regularly his store!..” “ No..no he just appeared today.” Nisha “ Do you like him?” Gita said “No” without hesitation. Nisha smiled “ I am so glad. I don’t like that creep at all. He was looking towards you in odd way. You just needed to stay away from his eyes.” “ I know. But I don’t understand why he is after me?!” “ Did you have any arguments with him?” “ No. I never saw him before.” Nisha didn’t say anything else since customer entered. Gita kept working & Pratap didn’t come back. Clearly Pratap was forgotten. Gita was no longer concerned about Pratap. She began to do her work. Then finally time came to close shop. She checked timing & decided that it was over. So she began to close all. Nisha was helping her. When it was over, they both got ready to go home. She didn’t share same route with Nisha. Nisha was going exactly on opposite route. Gita sometimes wished only if they were going by same route. Gita didn’t understand why did she kept feeling so nervous. Gita smiled & said “ Bye” to Nisha. Gita began to feel so nervous. Gita started walking then she sensed that Pratap was walking just before her. She knew that he was ahead so he couldn’t be following her. She couldn’t complaint. She was so upset. She didn’t want to see him again but he was there before her again. It was so stressful. Gita tried to control her fear & decided to overtake him. She was walking fast but he began to walk faster. She decided to walk as fast as possible. Then when she came beside him, he slowly said “ I will get you. You can’t escape from me.” She looked towards him in shock. But he was already reading messages on mobile. She sensed that he was not watching her. She suddenly sensed that her bus was standing. She ran towards bus & went in it. She took seat. But she didn’t sense that she was sitting beside one drunk man. She could smell alcohol from his breath. She couldn’t find other seat. That man was too drunk so he didn’t even look towards her. She sensed with relief that he was already sleeping. After some time conductor came near their seat & told that drunk man “ Wake up. Your stop will come soon.” That man stood up & went away. Conductor stood beside Gita’s seat & said “ In this job sometimes we even needed to wake up drunk people & help them to go home otherwise they keep travelling whole night.” Gita gave nervous smile. Then that Conductor went away to give tickets to new travellers.
Gita began to feel so nervous. She didn’t understand why she was feeling so shy. She was no longer a child. She was mother of one kid. Her husband Tushar was waiting at home for her. She was so upset. She needed to reach on time. She began to check time. She was clearly late. She didn’t understand why she always became late. But she knew that she immediately took bus as soon as her shop closed. It was timing of shop closing. She couldn’t change it. She was lucky that her shop closed earlier than remaining shops but she knew that when she reached home Tushar would start to scream on her for coming late. It was happening daily. She didn’t want to live life like that but she didn’t have much option. She could quit job as Tushar suggested but that would indicate her total dependence on him. She started this job from her college days. Her mother-in-law was always supportive on doing job. Tushar was happy with all arrangements until his parents were alive. Now after their death his attitude was changed. He wanted her to come home on fixed time. She was not sure if he really wanted her to quit job. Sometimes she felt that if she suggested it then he would scream on her too. She didn’t understand what he wanted. She sometimes felt that Tushar wanted to show his frustrations only. He didn’t care what she did. She finally decided to think about positive things. She began to remember her first months of job. She started to remember how did she used to sell products. She started to remember first time when she met Tushar. She was so happy. In fact they were happy couple. Even now sometimes they lived so happily. She began to remember her happy moments. Soon she found lots of them. She began to smile easily. Then her mobile rang. It was her daughter Lina. She was crying slowly. Lina“ Mom when will you come?” “ I am on way..” “ Dad went away. I am alone. He said I am big enough.” Lina was 12 years old now. But she didn’t feel that she was happy at this arrangement. She was stressed. She told “ I will come soon.” She began to watch road. Luckily there was not much traffic. She was so scared that she wanted to hurry up. She didn’t like to keep Lina alone for such a long time. It was scary thought for her. But Tushar needed to go on job too. She just wished only if Tushar’s parents were alive. But she knew that she couldn’t change it. She felt so nervous. She was so upset. She began to look out. Finally she reached home. She literally ran towards her house. When her building came before her eyes, she looked towards it with smile. She went inside lift. She got nice flat since they invested so much in this. But while getting flat she totally was so upset, her daughter was alone. Then she saw one man standing outside her flat. She literally screamed on him “ What did you want?” That man gave odd look & said “ Delivery.” Clearly that man didn’t like her attitude. She immediately changed voice. “ Odd I totally forgot. I ordered..” she didn’t remember anything she ordered. Then suddenly Lina opened door. Lina “ Dad ordered Pasta.” She smiled & made payment. Gita was happy that she didn’t needed to cook now. Tushar was always considerate. It was not Tushar’s mistake that he kept screaming. Actually this flat was too costly for their budget. It was their dream house but it was managing to eat their every regular dream. Sometimes she regretted taking this house. She could have selected some cheaper house. She was feel so tired by this working. She just kept telling herself to relax but it was not actually enjoying her work any more. She didn’t understand why. Then she suddenly began to think Pratap was cause of it. He kept looking towards her in strange way. It was so upsetting. She came inside. Then she slowly opened bag on that point her mobile rang. She felt strange shiver. She didn’t understand cause. She just smiled to herself & turned towards mobile. It was unknown number. She kept watching it. She was not ready to take that call. She was so scared. She kept taking out Pasta. Then Lina came. Lina looked towards her. Lina looked towards mobile. Lina took that call. Gita wanted to stop her but it was too late. Lina kept listening. No one was talking. It was really odd. Lina screamed loudly “ Who is it?” Gita looked towards mobile. It was unknown number. She understood all. It was Pratap. She was so angry. She needed to teach him lesson. But she couldn’t prove that he was calling & Pratap knew that very well. She felt so angry. She didn’t say anything. After sometime that call came again. She took it. Tushar “ Why you are not taking my call?” She felt so confused. “ It was unknown number.” “ I know. I forgot my mobile at home. That stupid girl was playing with it.” She knew that he was talking about their daughter. He began to call Lina now a days. It was so upsetting for Gita. But she just smiled & said “ I think I need to search for it & keep it in side. You can check in on morning.” “ Okay.” Tushar disconnected call. She knew that something was wrong. She could clearly hear some woman was talking behind. She began to feel that Tushar might be spending night with some woman. She felt so nervous & scared. She knew that she needed to argue but she didn’t. She was not ready to begin her life alone without husband. She needed him. She was so scared that he might just declared that he wanted divorce from her. It was so stressful. She knew that he was not showing interest in her or her daughter. She was about to put mobile aside when her mobile rang again. She gave confused look. She decided to took call. Gita “ Hello!” “ Tell your husband to stay away from my wife or I will not spare you! If he spend time with my wife I will spend mine with you.” Then that fellow started laughing in strange way. She began to shiver. She just disconnected call. She decided that it was one call done to upset her. She didn’t want to ask questions to Tushar. She knew that it was nonsense. She turned her attention to pasta. She suddenly decided that she needed to drink something. She went towards refrigerator. She observed drinks. She selected one bottle of Mojito & added some Soda. Lina immediately joined her. Soon they began to enjoy unhealthy dinner of that day. She looked towards her body. Her weight was increasing. She decided to do diet from tomorrow. On that day she needed to relax on that day. She looked towards Lina. Luckily Lina didn’t got overweight but she was still thin. Gita kept discussing different stories.
Next day Gita went to shop. Once again Pratap was there. Gita just started to change her direction. But he took hold of her hand. She began to scream as he started punching. Many people started to gather. They tried to keep him away from her. But Pratap kept screaming “ She is mine.” She was so scared. She wanted to run but her legs were hurt. She couldn’t walk. She kept searching for someone who knew her. Finally Cops came, they called ambulance & she was taken in hospital. When she woke up, Tushar was standing near her. Tushar screamed “ Who was that man? Do you have affair with me?” Gita was so shocked. “ No..no. I don’t know him.” Cop looked towards her. Tushar screamed “ You are lying.” “ No. I really don’t know him.” Then Cop interfered “ Let me talk.” “ Have you seen him before?” “ Yes. He is manager of Music store. I met him just once when he told me that I can order if I want something..after it he came once in our shop for shopping. That’s all.” Tushar began to abuse her. Soon she sensed Lina was standing beside him. Lina looked angry too. She said slowly “ I truly don’t know him.” Tushar said “ You are lying. I am filing for divorce. Lina will live with me.” Gita was so upset. She tried to call Lina but Lina didn’t even look towards her. Gita began to cry. She slowly told Cop “ I don’t have affair.” Cop “ I know & all are supporting your statement except your husband.” She kept crying slowly. After sometime she fall asleep. When she woke up Nisha was there, Nisha smiled & said “ Don’t worry. I told to Boss. He is fully supporting you. In fact that Pratap would needed to compensate you.” “ I don’t understand why he did this to me.” “ Come on! You are lucky. You suffered just few punches. You will be okay by tomorrow. Imagine it could have been worst!” Gita shivered with fear. Gita “ But my husband..” “ I know. But I told Tushar to give me keys of your house. No one is there to support his fake claim.” Gita began to cry slowly. Nisha put hand on her shoulder & said “Don’t worry. You have job & house.” “ But what about my daughter?!” Nisha said nothing. She sensed that Lina didn’t want to connect with her any more. But she was too small. Then Gita thought about her financial status after Divorce. She began to feel that Lina was better off with her father only. Next day Gita got discharged. She came home. She saw all items of Tushar & Lina were taken away including their pictures. Clearly they didn’t want any connection with her. There was paper of house in her name & Divorce paper she signed it. She began to move ahead with her life. She began to work in shop. She was no longer stressed since her daughter was in home since her daughter was no longer staying with her. She wanted to cry loudly but she couldn’t. She knew that she could do it in her home when she was alone. For few months she kept dragging ahead. Then after it she slowly accepted her like as Divorcee. She did all procedures. Then one day she received call from Cops. She went to Police station. Cop told her to sit down. Cop “ I feel I must tell you why Pratap wanted to hurt you. Since his wife was having affair with your ex husband Tushar. He developed mental issues due to it so he began to feel in revenge he needed to take Tushar’s wife.” She was so shocked. She screamed “ He cheated me. I need to take back my daughter..” She stood up angrily. Cop told her to sit down & relax. Cop “ Your daughter is already settled there. If you go back & started arguing you will achieve nothing. Your husband is already married to that woman. She managed to get divorce too.” Gita started crying. Then Cop said “ Now you need to control yourself if you will went after revenge like Pratap then you will land in trouble same way. You got house & job. Regarding daughter if you want one you can adopt. I will help you in it.” She looked towards Cop with sad eyes. She didn’t understand what she supposed to do. She decided that she was happy with her life as it was. She just said “ I am fine. I will manage.” That night she cried for hours. But on next morning she remembered Pratap. She didn’t want to become loser like him. She looked in mirror. She began to get dressed. She cut her hairs properly too. She got ready to go to shop. On that day she started her new life. She decided that she didn’t want to look back. She kept thinking about Pratap & his mental issues. Soon she sensed that she was feeling so upset. Then Nisha came beside her. Nisha “ Why don’t you visit Psychiatrist? It will be a lot better.” She didn’t say anything. She knew that she couldn’t avoid it anymore. She called her Physician & took appointment. At beginning she was nervous but then slowly she began to feel relaxed. She went inside. She slowly told all to Psychiatrist. Psychiatrist “You are suffering due to depression. It happened due to divorce & other incidence like Pratap hit you & Tushar blamed it on you. But don’t worry. Slowly you will get over it.” After it she started psychiatrical treatment. She slowly began to feel normal. She did painting in her house. She decorated her house as per her choice. She did all as she liked. Slowly she began to like her freedom. Finally one day Tushar called her. He wanted her to babysit Lina. He was expecting her to agree happily. But she denied. She said “ Lina is your daughter & Court even doesn’t given me visiting hours.” It was true. Tushar presented her as worst mother & she decided to really become it. She denied meeting her daughter Lina. Tushar abused her & disconnected call. She didn’t understand if it was good or bad but she felt totally ditched to them. She just kept going ahead with her life & Tushar never called her again.
The End
