Ajit's poverty
Ajit was too busy in his thoughts. He didn’t understand that he reached to his destination. It was important for him. He was feeling so upset by entire incidence. Ajit was working so hard for such a long time. He needed to work hard for hours to get success in his store. No it wasn’t his store. It was store of his father. Actually that store belonged to his grandfather. But since death of his grandfather it was shifted in name of his father. He was working hard in it. In fact from childhood he just worked for that store. His grandfather was so proud of his work. He got education. But he never tried to get any job. He just wanted to work in store. That store had enough earnings too. He was so sure that he didn’t need any help. He always kept working in it but since his father took over he sensed the change. He tried his best to ignore but still he couldn’t keep ignoring. He worked there for hours & his father kept screaming on his every mistake. It was so upsetting. He tried to appear positive on every angle but his father kept considering him negative. His father didn’t talk nicely even once. But today his father started talking in different tone. His father was counting items which he wanted to sell all was fine but suddenly his father began to ask him “ Why did you order this extra boxes of noddles?” “ Dad customer told me..” “ You are working in my store. I own this store. You need to ask me before your order have you understood?” He nodded immediately. He didn’t like to argue. He wanted to feel positive about life. He said “ Sorry I will be careful next time.” “ You are such a burden on me. You never did any job always remained working in house. You are such a useless person. Look at others they are earning on their own not dependent on store.” Ajit didn’t understand what he supposed to say. His cousins & brother didn’t work in shop but they took share from shop & never gave share of their income. Still his father was appreciating them. Ajit was so nervous. He began to think about finding some other job but that thought was scary too. He was so stressed. He began to remember his old days. He still remembered how did his father used to go out with his friends & during that time he used to sell items. He used to work in store as child too. He never ignored his studies. He always paid attention to them. He was studious boy. But in final he didn’t score so good. He didn’t tried for job since he felt that it would be hard to find one & most importantly he didn’t want to stop working in store. He loved it. Life was becoming so problematic. On that point he saw message. It was from his friend. Sapana was his friend on internet. He used to write her sometimes. He didn’t know surely but he felt that Sapana might fall in love with him. But he was not going to write positively. It was not as if Sapana was not special for him but he didn’t have his own earning. He was working in his father’s store. His father kept making comments to make it clear to him that he would never get that store. He wasn’t sure how could he would survive if he married to someone. Sapana seemed financially secure. But he was not planning to drag her in this mess with him. It looked so wrong to drag her in this mess. He decided that he would keep friendship. But he had another fear in his heart what if she married to someone else & that person didn’t permitted that friendship. He wanted to keep that friendship but he knew that it was selfish. He didn’t understand what he was exactly feeling. He didn’t want anyone to be dragged in his crisis with him. He was feeling so sad. He didn’t want Sapana to feel that he was rejecting her. Then he suddenly began to hope that his father might die after some years & he would get that store or at least some capital to start his life. He knew that it was wrong to wish for anyone’s death. But he saw before his eyes how did his Dad harassed his grandparents for money. His Dad was monster. He didn’t understand what he supposed to do. He kept obeying every word of his father. Then he suddenly remembered his hobby of painting. He decided that he might paint some canvas & try to sell them. He was hoping to get some money out of them. He felt so excited. He immediately called his one friend “ Ravi it’s Ajit.” “ Ajit! How are you?” “ Fine. Actually I want to ask you about selling my canvas. Do you remember once your Uncle use to sell?” “ Yes but he stopped it. He suffered big loss in it. You don’t need to even think about selling canvas. If you suffer losses it’s difficult to manage to survive in life. My Uncle was rich man so he managed to survive. I don’t advise you to even try it.” “ No..no I want to just keep my one canvas.” “ Ohh!” “ Actually I wanted to show my art of painting to Public.” “ I can understand. It’s for publicity. Sadly if my Uncle was still running that shop it was possible to show your canvas now.” He nodded with positivity. He knew that he was talking on mobile so he immediately began to talk with sweet voice. “ It’s okay. I was just thinking I am acting too shy. I need to act brave.” His friend laughed. “ Don’t worry you are brave enough & what about your life? Did you find some friends?” He felt so nervous but he began to talk about his internet friends. He avoided Sapana at beginning then he finally talked about her. His friend “ Now she seem like special friend!” “ Nothing special she is just nice friend.” “ Really? It always began that way. Then slowly it started to get serious. Just give it sometime.” He just gave one nervous laugh. He didn’t want to hope but he already started. Then he reached home so he said “ Bye I reached home.” “ Okay.” Call was disconnected & he entered home. His Mom was in kitchen. She was making dinner for him. He never ate anything else. He just took dinner & go to sleep. But his father needed lots of items to eat. His Mom used to cook them at beginning but now his Mom stopped cooking them. It was too much work. His father didn’t give any respect to her work anyway. So he could see his father managed to fill entire cupboard with snacks from market. His father kept eating nonstop. But in his father’s eyes other people were overweight. His father admired his health. His father was strange person who felt that he was great & Ajit was dust.
Ajit’s father was sitting in restaurant. He didn’t like when Ajit enjoyed life. Ajit’s father wanted Ajit to keep suffering. Ajit didn’t deserve happiness. Ajit’s father didn’t like Ajit. Ajit’s father just decided that he hated Ajit & that was enough. Ajit’s father knew that Ajit’s Mom was planning for Ajit’s marriage. Now Ajit’s father didn’t want it. If Ajit was planning to marry then that daughter-in-law must be by choice of Ajit’s father. It was odd idea but Ajit’s father was certain about it. Ajit’s father wasn’t planning to let Ajit marry some girl who would give Ajit power. Ajit needed to stay under his control. He didn’t permit Ajit to have his way in life. He never permitted his any child. He was very careful. On that point one friend joined him. His friend “ I want to discuss with you about one girl.” “ Yes?” “ Her father will help a lot to our club.” Now Ajit’s father was part of one club. He admired it. He kept going in it while Ajit used to work in store as child. Ajit’s father wanted success & money for this club. Ajit’s father needed money for it. That man told name of girl’s father now immediately Ajit’s father decided that Ajit needed to date her. Ajit’s father sat for some time in restaurant then he left for home. When he reached home, Ajit was eating dinner. He looked towards Ajit. He began to plan how did he would convince Ajit that he was inferior. Ajit was dependent on him so Ajit must marry to girl he decided. In eyes of Ajit’s father Ajit was his slave. Ajit’s father sat on table exactly on opposite side of Ajit. Ajit began to concentrate on food in his plate. Ajit’s father began talking “ There is one girl..” Ajit suddenly began to feel one cold shiver in his body. It was so odd. He was feeling okay until few seconds & now he was feeling as if he had fever. He didn’t want to sneeze or cough. He didn’t want to feel sick at all. But he was feeling that he would faint if he stood up. He started to get so nervous. He knew that he didn’t have enough earnings. He couldn’t get married. He immediately said “ I am not going to marry.” His father gave him angry look & screamed “ You are such disgusting failure that no one would want to marry you. You are alive just because of this store. You never have any capacity to stand on your own feet.” He didn’t say anything. He was so nervous & upset. He didn’t understand what he supposed to do. He said slowly in weak voice. “ I know. I don’t plan to marry at all.” “ Ohh & you are doing favour to me by it?!” He didn’t say anything. He didn’t understand what did he want. He was feeling so uneasy. He knew that he was burden on his family. He was told it again & again by his father. His grandparents were so excited about thought of his marriage. But his family didn’t manage to find right sort of girl. He knew that he liked few but none of them seemed to be suitable for him. They always wanted something different from him. They wanted him to demand more from his father. On that point his grandfather was alive so he told them with confidence that his grandfather would give him suitable support but still they didn’t feel enough. They kept telling him that he needed few things on his own name. He said slowly “ I will not marry.” His father was so angry. He was trying to eat. But his father suddenly began to throw some food items & began to scream on top of his lung. “ You must understand how useless you are.” Then his father started abusing him. His Mom came out & tried to take his side but it was useless. He looked towards food. It was his favourite. He wanted to eat it but his father threw it away. He said slowly “ I loved that food.” He didn’t understand why his father was doing it. He wanted to eat it. His father was so angry. Then his father went in bedroom to sleep. His Mom was so sad. His Mom said slowly “ He threw away all dessert. You loved it so much.” He didn’t want to cry but he started crying. It was so painful. He didn’t understand how could he control his feelings. He knew that crying was sign of weakness but it was so painful that his father threw away dessert. His father did it on purpose. He could see satisfaction in eyes of his father. His father was so happy when he was hurt. He wanted to eat that dessert but it was all on floor. He began to get so restless. He started to feel so sad. He told himself that his father owned everything so he couldn’t argue. It was so painful. He went back on his table & he began to eat his dinner. He wanted to cry but he didn’t permit himself to feel sad. He kept eating. His Mom started to feel so sad. From bedroom his father kept screaming “ Such useless boy. I never wanted son like him.” His father wanted him to listen it. His father wasn’t planning to give up. His father was trying to harass Ajit so much that he would agree to this marriage. His father wanted his marriage as per own choice. He fed Ajit as child so his father wanted every rupee spend on him back. His father didn’t think same way when question of his grandparents came. According to his father all supposed to serve him. Ajit, Ajit’s Mom & Ajit’s grandparents were his servants. Ajit’s father started to plan in different way for revenge. Ajit’s father wasn’t going to stop harassing Ajit until he didn’t decide to marry as per his wishes. Ajit needed to obey him. While Ajit & his Mom were trying to understand why did his father wasted all dessert his father was planning to get money for his favourite club. His club must get served. His entire family needed to be punished if needed since they didn’t do everything to bring money in his club. Ajit’s father could do anything for his club. Ajit’s father wanted to give all to just club. His elder son wasn’t going to be much help in finance but his elder son was obedient. His elder son bowed to every wish. His elder son kept admiring club for whole time. His elder son was even willing to abuse people to support his club. Ajit wasn’t ready to abuse. His elder son wasn’t selected by any rich girl who could give money to his club. But younger one Ajit was selected so Ajit must do this marriage. Ajit must obey every desire of his wife. Ajit needed to serve his father’s club.
Ajit was so upset. On that point message from Sapana was such a relief. Ajit was no longer permitted to sleep on bed since his father didn’t want it. Ajit was sitting on mattress when Sapana messaged. Ajit was so happy to see her message but in his heart he was feeling strange fear. He didn’t feel his father would permit Sapana to become daughter-in-law & most importantly after seeing his father Sapana would surely began to hate him. It’s odd but when he talked with people around him. He kept seeing those who admired his father & club but when it came to choosing life partner suitors didn’t like his father. Girls wanted to stay away from his family. It was clear that he didn’t have enough money to settle on his own. He didn’t want to discuss this with Sapana. He knew one thing that Sapana would have better future if she married to someone else. He looked towards her message. She needed his answer so he controlled his emotions & started typing positively. Sapana had her issues & she needed his mental support. Sapana’s father was sick due to cancer. So Sapana needed to enter in business. She wasn’t exactly fond of business but she wanted to carry ahead her father’s legacy. Her entire family was supportive but sadly there were few people in business who wanted to throw their family out of business. They were using her father’s sickness as an excuse. She needed his support. He kept writing to her. He was writing to her & he was so happy when suddenly his father came & sat in chair next to his mattress. His father began to scream “ I want to make one thing clear to you. I am feeding you & it’s enough now. I want you to marry that girl.” He felt so tense. He said slowly “ I don’t want to marry.” His father kept insisting. His Mom started to try to convince. On that point he felt suddenly one strange feeling. He didn’t understand what was happening but he suddenly lost all sense. Ajit’s father was shocked when Ajit’s expression were changed. He was no longer normal Ajit. He began to cry in strange way. He was crying like small child. He began to talk like one too. Ajit ran to Mom & began to say “ Mom I want to go to grandpa. I miss him. Mom please call Grandpa.” He began to talk like child. Now Ajit’s father got scared. He didn’t want mentally damaged Ajit. He started to scream on Ajit & began to tell “ Stop this drama.” His father kept abusing him. But nothing was changed. Ajit kept talking like child. Slowly his Mom convinced him to go to sleep. She slept in her lap like small child. He was no longer adult. He was child again. Ajit’s Mom was scared by this change. It was shocking & unexpected. Ajit’s Mom didn’t expect him to give up like that. Ajit’s Mom was fighting so hard to get normal life for Ajit but his father was worst person. After marriage his Mom never enjoyed happiness of even one day. His father whole time just thought about himself. His father didn’t just thought about himself but he was also abusing her since he wanted her to keep working for him. Ajit’s Mom was housewife so she never had much chance to make contact with other ladies or his father always managed to make sure that his Mom couldn’t make any contact with anyone who didn’t belong to his club. His father was worst type of manipulative person. But now she knew that Ajit would need psychiatrist. His father was expecting Ajit to become normal next day. But as Ajit’s Mom suspected Ajit didn’t become normal. His Mom started to talk about Psychiatrist but his father denied. “ I don’t want to waste my money. Your son is mad from beginning. You can’t cure him with treatment.” His Mom screamed “ I want money for Psychiatrist do you hear me? I have right.” “ What right? You work in house I even kept maids. I am feeding you that my favour. I will not give more money.” Mom was watching his father was wasting money as per his choice but he wasn’t ready to give anything to her for even medical treatment. Mom cried entire night. Then Mom decided to sell her jewellery next morning. She sold her jewellery & contacted Psychiatrist. Psychiatrist gave appointment. When she brought Ajit to Psychiatrist, Psychiatrist discussed all. Psychiatrist told his Mom to admit him in hospital for some time. It was costly but Mom decided to do it anyway. When Mom came back home his father started creating big issue even Ajit's brother joined in abusing but his Mom didn’t give up. She said “ I did what I wanted to do for my son.” “ But that jewellery was supposed to be inherited by your elder daughter-in-law.” Now his Mom gave angry look to his father & told him “ Do you want me to go legally?” His father laughed & said “ Legally you don’t have any rights.” “ Do you want me to try?” But Ajit’s brother felt scared & said “ Dad it’s her jewellery let her waste it as she wants.” After sometime Ajit came out. Ajit was normal now. His father tried to abuse but Ajit began to handle. Most importantly he began to message Sapana daily. He told her all. Still she decided to marry him. He was scared but he decided to try it. When he told this to his father. His father began to abuse. “ So you want to become servant in her house?” Ajit said slowly “ I am servant in your store now I will become servant in her house. What’s difference? There is one chance that she might give respect to me.” His father was so angry. His father created big dramas but they decided to ignore them.
Finally one day Sapana & Ajit got married. Ajit’s father didn’t dare to exactly argue with rich girl like Sapana. Ajit’s Mom kept admiring her. Sapana clearly managed to create more influence in his house since she was rich. Ajit found it so funny. Sapana who was really rich wanted love so married Ajit who was poor just for love while Ajit’s father who wasn’t so rich kept abusing Ajit since he wasn’t enough capable. Ajit was capable & nice person for rich girl like Sapana but not enough for his father & his club. He hated his father & his club but Sapana advised him to control anger so he kept controlling it. He wanted happiness for himself & his Mom. His Mom sold her jewellery for him but now his Mom had new one & Sapana was acting like her daughter. He decided that he would concentrate on positive. That club would keep irritating him but now he was mentally strong to fight back.
The End
