Sandip's wife Trupti
Sandip was so excited when finally he was called for job. It was perfect one. He worked so hard to get all done, Trupti was always with him. His wife Trupti! His love! His life & every thing. Trupti was so nice. She just obeyed his every word. Sometimes he felt so guilty for ordering her around like that. He always kept telling her & she would obey without questioning. He felt so upset that he never gave her much freedom. He started to feel need of giving her independence. Her brother kept telling him. That Trupti seemed so nervous. Trupti kept asking Sandip about all. Trupti never spent even a Rupee without asking him. Her brother Vishal asked him “ Did you ever even by mistake taunted her on excess spending?” Sandip tried to remember. Sandip “ No. In fact after our marriage she never spent anything without asking. She kept telling me her every purchase.” Vishal didn’t say anything. Vishal “ I tell you frankly Anita was saying Trupti was literally having nervous breakdown since she didn’t ask you before purchasing some purse. It was not so costly purse. But still She was shivering with fear while purchasing. She needed to learn to do shopping on her own.” “ I know. I keep telling her but she always demanded my attention.” “ You must force her.” Sandip totally agreed. Sandip decided to tell Trupti to do some shopping on her own. He still remembered how scared she looked. Suddenly Sandip began to feel confused regarding his job. He was working hard to get post of manager. But he needed to shift. He was not sure Trupti could handle it. He could ask Vishal for help but she couldn’t give all responsibility to Anita & he needed to sense things. He was so upset by all. He needed that job. He knew that he was planning to increase his family. He wants to earn money for his baby. He wanted one comfortable life for his family. Then he suddenly got one idea. He could shift his family in that town. He smiled at that idea so Trupti just needed to stay here alone for some months. When he would settle in job, he would purchase house then they could start their family in that town. He smiled happily. Now he just needed to give notice of three months on this job. He went in Cabin of his Boss. He slowly told all to his Boss. His Boss clearly was not happy after hearing this. His Boss said slowly “ I have one position in my company too. It’s of General Manager of my sister concerned. Do you remember that Sweet company?” He nodded. Boss continued “ Yes. That Sweet company need good Manager that old one was such useless person. He was cheating & he managed to get all profit in his own pocket. I didn’t sense it at beginning so once again that Sweet company is suffering losses.” His Boss started to look far away. He could see sorrows in eyes of his Boss. He started to feel nervous. He needed to feel positive but suddenly entire positivity was vanished in few moments. He began to feel so sad. He needed to sense hopeful touch in his soul. But he knew that it was not going to happen. He saw that Sweet company. It had so many hard working people. They all did their best. He loved that Sweet company he wanted to run it in his heart. But it was hard work. He knew that this job in other company was easy one. But it’s post didn’t have chance of progress. He wanted to do something constructive. Then his Boss added “ You can get even house. I will shift there. In fact I am suffering so many losses if you turn it in profit then I will give you that house. You remember that mansion in which we stayed?” He couldn’t forget it. It was old but still it was so beautiful. He wanted to own it. But he knew that it would required hard work to improve but he felt that Vishal would help. Vishal was in construction. He said without second thought “ Okay.” His Boss smiled. “ I will draft contract within week it will available. I don’t demand profit. I was you to stay for ten years in my Sweet company in return of this Mansion.” He smiled happily. He understood the trick. His Boss wanted him to make this venture profit making at any cost. He wanted to do same. He smiled & said “ Okay.” Then he went out. He returned to his routine work. He looked around. He worked in this office for such long time. But he didn’t find one person who would considered his friend. He worked hard & his Boss appreciated it. But he never found any friends in staff. They all loved to stay in each other’s company. He was new so they disliked him. He knew that they wouldn’t say it on face but he could observe it. He never got chance to share his lunch with someone or even to join them on lunchtime. They showed dislike towards him. At beginning he tried to sit with them. He came with tiffin. They offered him a seat in corner. They didn’t chat with him. He tried to talk but they didn’t respond. They kept ignoring him. Now he finally managed to get rid of this office but he was feeling scared what would happen in next one. He had met Sweet company staff. They all looked nice. But when he saw staff of this office he felt scared. He was taking a long jump. It might harm him. He decided to concentrate on his work. Then suddenly one of his colleague came near him. He smiled. Colleague smiled pointedly too. “ So you big jump Sandip. Mansion..post of manager in that factory soon you might become partner too.” Another colleague joined. “ Sandip is always favourite of Boss.” “ Yes. He didn’t waste time with us. He always keep talking with boss doesn’t he?” They all nodded. Sandip was feeling so stressed but Sandip kept smiling. He didn’t like to argue so he never argued. He just kept doing his work. He needed to try his best to get his work done. He didn’t say much. He just observed that it was lunch time. He took out his tiffin. His colleagues clearly didn’t want to miss lunch for discussing with him. He was finally alone. He began to eat but he was feeling so sad & nervous. His hands were shaking. He kept telling himself that all would be fine. First time he confessed to himself that working in this office was worst experience. He felt so sad & stressed. He told himself that it was question of just week. He felt so sad. He began to view all in negative way. He felt so sad.
Vishal was having his lunch in house. Vishal had construction business. He always managed to get time to come home & eat. He knew that he was enjoying this luxury as Boss. His employees didn’t have it but still he was boss so he permitted little bit extra freedom to himself. Anita already served him & still she kept standing there. Vishal didn’t like it since he felt that it was wrong that his wife kept standing like waiter. Vishal “ What happened? Just sit down.” Anita gave nervous look. He sensed that Anita wanted to tell something but she was nervous about it. Anita slowly said “ I don’t know if I need to mention this but I can’t stop myself.” “ Just say it. I can see you can’t hide it. Don’t worry I will not discuss it.” Anita smiled & sat beside him. Now Varun knew that it was time of confession by Anita. She would tell now whatever she felt from her soul. He must not judge her by it. He knew it & he also agreed to it. Anita deserved one friend in him. “ Can I tell you something? Trupti is little bit too nervous. I mean she doesn’t even accept small gift from me without asking Sandip! I know Sandip very well. He will surely not object my gifts!” “ What?” “ I just purchased one gold plated necklace. Not real Gold just Gold plated. You know they survive in great way but don’t have after value..” “ I know.. I know..shift back to your point. What happened?” “ I bought two. One for me & another for Trupti.” “ Great decision!” Anita looked angry. “ It didn’t turn out that great!” “ Why?” “ Since Trupti didn’t took it.” “ What? You mean since Trupti didn’t took decision of purchasing two necklace. She just purchased one.” Now Anita gave him angry look “ Do you feel I am so greedy? I don’t care if she give nothing to me. She is younger & I am elder. I suppose to gift her.” Vishal smiled. He liked her this attitude. Vishal “ So?” Anita “ I gave her one necklace & she didn’t took it. It was not arrogance. Trupti was literally crying when she said no to me.” Vishal kept looking at Anita in strange way. Clearly Vishal didn’t understand what she was saying. Vishal “ Why did Trupti cried?” “ Since she didn’t understand what she supposed to do & Sandip was not taking her call.” “ It is odd. I will talk with Sandip.” Anita nodded happily. Anita wanted him to talk with Sandip. Vishal called Sandip. At beginning Sandip didn’t took call. Finally Sandip took it. Then Sandip started to talk about Sweet Company. Sandip asked finally after finishing “ So will you help me in rebuilding that Mansion?” “ I will do it but I can’t do it free.” Sandip laughed happily. “ Don’t worry. I will pay.” Vishal laughed too. Vishal “ It will be great to do one home project.” Vishal was doing many projects. Clearly Vishal needed to create time & place in schedule for this one. Vishal was so pleased by all that he totally forgot issue of Trupti. Vishal began to discuss about what should be their budget. Anita was listening to all, Anita knew that Trupti was not ready for that stunt. It was so upsetting. Anita wanted them to help to Trupti but they were not ready to accept Trupti had issues. They were busy in planning career. Anita took deep breath. She knew that some one needed to tell this to Trupti. She decided that she might try it. But she couldn’t do it without permission. So she said with smile. “ Ask Sandip can I tell about this to Trupti? Or he will break this news? I really want to tell her personally but if Sandip didn’t want..” Vishal suddenly sensed what Anita meant. Vishal immediately looked nervous. Vishal slowly asked Sandip “ Did you discussed this with Trupti?” Sandip “ No. I feel she will react.” “ React? I feel she will get panic. This is going to be something serious for her. Trupti is so nervous minded.” Sandip didn’t like the way conversation was going. He wanted to prove Trupti brave girl. “ Don’t worry. She is brave girl. She would handle it.” Vishal wanted to argue but Vishal sensed that Sandip didn’t want interfere so he just said “ Is it okay if..” “ No. I will tell her. I want to see her face full of happiness.” Vishal said “ Okay.” Vishal disconnected call & told Anita all. Anita “ I saw that girl. It’s risky Vishal! She might do something to herself.” Vishal laughed. Vishal “ Come on! You are overreacting.” Anita didn’t say anything. She knew that she felt it from her heart. But no one was paying attention so she felt that she might needed to just ignore it. Anita went back to her work. Sandip was upset when Vishal talked negatively about his wife. Trupti was brave & perfect. He knew that sometimes she get nervous but many girls get nervous this way. Nothing was unusual in it. He told himself that everything was just fine. He smiled happily & he decided to call her. He called Trupti & she immediately began to tell how did she got confused when Anita gave her necklace. Trupti said “ I can’t do anything without asking you!” “ Why?.. I mean you have your independence to decide!” She began to stammer. She said slowly “ But I don’t want it.” He felt so confused. “ I don’t get it what you don’t want?” “ I don’t want to think independently. I want to follow the path which you show me. Is it wrong to obey husband? I feel husbands like when wife do that.” She was saying it with such innocence. Trupti was like child but she was no longer child. Sandip needed to tell her that she must start act like adult. It was need of his situation. He wanted her to take responsibility of that mansion which he was planning to develop with help of his brother Vishal. He would work hard to make Sweet Company profitable but she needed to work hard to make that Mansion perfect home. He knew that it was not going to be easy. He needed to give full support to Trupti for it. He wanted to encourage her. But he didn’t feel it was something he should do on mobile. He just said “ My Boss is giving me promotion.” Her voice told him that she was literally dancing with joy. He slowly explained all to her. Trupti didn’t say anything for sometime then she said “ I will handle all by calling you time to time regarding each decision. The way you give list of work to me now just do same thing.” He nodded but in his heart he felt so sad. He didn’t understand what he supposed to do. He assumed all wrong.
Sandip went back home with tension. He knew that this was not going to be easy. He needed to work hard to make Trupti ready for this challenge. He told himself that he needed to concentrate on his work more. Suddenly he began to feel that other staff was not helping him. He needed to go & ask for every file personally. It was frustrating but he didn’t have much option. He began to get so panicked. He needed to work hard since office staff who never liked him that much clearly showing signs of jealousy. It was began to get frustrating. He needed to feel positive but he couldn’t. He sensed another thing that now he might needed to do some overtime to impress his Boss even in this office otherwise he wouldn’t get chance to become manager of Sweet company or even get that mansion. He do very fast his work but others were delaying all for purpose. He knew very well but he knew that argument wouldn’t help. Still he went to one table & asked for documents. That person told him clearly he needed to wait. He could see odd sort of satisfaction in other people’s face. He didn’t understand why did they hate him. But he knew one thing he needed to get his job done. So he kept asking time to time. That day he heard different sort of insults. Each person kept taunting & abusing him. He worked so hard to control his emotions. He just wanted to complete his work & go home. But he sensed that it was not possible. Finally all left office he was only person sitting alone with pending work. They all left office on proper hour. But they gave him all files he needed just half hour before closing of office. But he was happy to finally get them. Now he could do his work. He smiled happily at thought of achieving it. He was so tense that they didn’t give him at all. Boss came out & Boss saw him working. Suddenly Boss came near him & said with sad look. “ I am sorry Sandip but this is not possible for me.” Sandip gave him shocked look. Boss “ You can’t do it. I accept your resignation.” Sandip wanted to argue but he didn’t say anything. Sandip just said “ It’s okay.” “ You can see you can’t even control staff here. So I can’t send you there.” Sandip felt so sad. But Sandip knew that he could do it. He just needed some time. Sandip said peacefully “ It’s okay.” He was stressed inside. He knew that now he needed to take new job. So he needed to shift to that town immediately. He was so upset. Sandip just stood up while keeping his work half & said good bye to Boss. For him it was over. He knew that someone else from staff managed to get job for which he was hoping. He immediately asked new company date of joining. He was so scared that he might remain jobless. But that Company gave him a week to join. He was so happy. When he went home Trupti was so upset. She hugged him & started crying. She began to tell that she needed to obey him. She could stay alone. Sandip was trying so hard to convince but she kept arguing. Finally Sandip had enough. He screamed on her. “ I heard enough of this nonsense. I am going on my new job. I don’t have much options. I need job. You need to stay alone for sometime..” “ I can’t.” She began to cry loudly in strange way. He didn’t understand what he supposed to do. Finally he sensed that he didn’t have much option. He called Vishal. He told him all. Vishal ran towards Anita who was in room with kids. Vishal told all without second thought. Immediately his daughter said “ Mom take Psychiatrist with you. Auntie need psychiatrist! You can’t handle her.” Anita gave nervous look. But Vishal said with determination. “ Let’s take psychiatrist. I don’t want her to do suicide.” Anita nodded. Anita called psychiatrist & told about entire situation. Psychiatrist asked for address & told that he would make home visit. By this time Trupti was hysterical. She couldn’t able to control herself. She started throwing things. She even began to walk on showpieces which she managed to throw. It was so horrible. Entire floor of house was red with her blood. Sandip tried to control her but it was not working. Soon their door started banging. Clearly neighbours were there to offer help. Sandip knew that he needed help. He opened door. Neighbours entered. They all shocked. At beginning they asked Sandip who did this. Sandip explained “ She is trying to kill herself since I took job out of town.” At beginning all laughed but soon they sensed it was true since Trupti was angry that she started banging her head on wall..then on door… finally she reached to mirror. Sandip ran to stop her. But it was too late. She banged it. Luckily mirror didn’t broke on first bang. They started to try to hold her on that point one man came running. He screamed “ Stop this. This is not Trupti’s mistake.” Trupti stopped smiled. Trupti ran to that man & said “ Slowly you understand me.” “ Yes..yes. Come on let’s go in your bedroom.” He slowly took her in bedroom. Then he slowly said “ You need to relax yourself. So you must take this medicine.” She agreed. She took it & she fall asleep. Then that man turned towards Sandip. “ I am Psychiatrist your brother send me. Don’t worry. She is suffering due to personal dependence disorder. It happened due to either too much criticism by parents or too much admiration.” “ I feel she was little bit extra pampered..” “ Well..well. But after watching her wound I advise you to admit her in hospital. You can go on your job. During that time I will handle her case. Then she could stay with her brother Vishal & Anita for sometime. I just call Ambulance.” Sandip nodded. Then Ambulance came. By that time Vishal & Anita came too. When they took away her. Sandip went there. When Sandip came back, Society people were waiting for him. Secretary said “ You can’t keep your wife alone here. We don’t want to take risk.” Sandip was so angry. But Vishal stopped him. Vishal “ He is not planning to stay here. We just want to sell this flat.” Sandip nodded too. Sandip didn’t see other options. Then Sandip packed his bag. Step by step Vishal & Anita took away remaining things. Sandip watched his house getting empty. He wanted to cry but he couldn’t. He needed to stay here was wrong for Trupti. His love! Even when in ambulance Trupti was saying just one thing in sedative state she couldn’t live without him. Sandip smiled to himself & called Taxi. Then Sandip packed & went away. He thanked Vishal & Anita for helping him. But they were more than willing. Finally Sandip went to his new job with hope that when he would come back Trupti would happily come with him to new town where he was shifting.
The End
