Adventure story. 694. Tara's brother

                                                              Tara's brother

Tara was waiting for hours. She wanted positivity in her life but things were not moving that much hopefully. She was feeling so stressed. She came to receive her brother on airport. She got nothing so they didn’t permit her to enter. She was forced to sit outside for long time. She hoped that her brother would come soon. They needed help from her brother Rakesh. Tara was living with her parents. She got divorced when her husband found better replacement than her. She knew that her marriage was mistake. He was so handsome & she began to fall for him quickly. She started dating him. Her parents began to insist on marriage. It was complicated for her at beginning since his parents were not ready. Then finally they got married. But after marriage she lived in heaven of rich wife. He pampered her in all ways. She started feeling that she didn’t need to earn anything anymore. She could enjoy her luxuries. Sometimes her in-laws taunted her. But she never thought that was something serious then she got pregnant she was so happy. She told her husband about it. Her husband was happy too. She lived happily during pregnancy but at end of her pregnancy she went to her parent’s house. Her daughter was born. But her husband didn’t appear. She felt so sad. Then finally her husband called. He began to talk about divorce paper. He started to tell clearly “We both know that we are no longer interested in each other.” “But I thought you love me…” “Come on! I hardly came home for months.” “ I  thought that you are too busy.” “Really!! Or you are too busy in spending life in those luxuries. You are not interested in what I am doing!” she didn’t understand what she supposed to say. She looked towards her new born & said “You need to think about our daughter.” “Now don’t worry. I will make good settlement.” She didn’t agree to him. She went back to his house. She felt that he would come & argue but he didn’t. He didn’t come. He made sure that servants would come too. He didn’t want to make payment. She was alone with her baby in that house. Then he called “This will not help you. This month I had paid electricity bill already but I will not pay them from next month. You will need to handle all alone.” He began to threaten her but she immediately started to think that she could get some maintenance from him. It would be better option. She slowly said “I came here since I felt that I might correct my mistake. We might need to take second chance…” He said sweetly “OH…but it’s not possible. I understand your situation. Let me tell you what I can give you.” Then he decided what he could give her. She agreed to all. Most importantly he gave her home & he even arranged for education of their daughter. He gave her nice settlement. She couldn’t complaint on it. But as her life went ahead. She sensed that money wasn’t enough. She wanted to earn but she didn’t understand way. She never took any job so she kept feeling scared about it. She started to feel so helpless. Whenever her parents get any guest, each guest pointed towards her & her daughter as burden. It was painful. She came to meet her brother today. Rakesh was her hope. She was so happy that finally he was coming. He would help her in crisis. She knew that her brother Rakesh was the best.

         When Rakesh came out, he saw Tara. His expressions were changed. Rakesh didn’t want to smile towards her. Tara was such burden! She got married to rich husband who gave her house & still she was staying with their parents. He wanted to settle in his life but Tara kept coming back like burden. Rakesh smiled towards Tara & looked towards Tara’s daughter & asked “So you came to visit Mom & Dad?” Their Dad said “Rakesh do you remember she is divorced?” “Of course, Dad but she has her own big house given by her husband. She needed to settle in it. If she kept it empty like that her husband might take possession of it once again.” She felt so nervous. She looked towards her daughter. Rakesh was so happy. He needed to convince his sister Tara to shift & it was happening. Tara immediately declared “I will go to that house.” Her Mom “But how can you manage to stay alone?” Rakesh “Mom! She needed to learn! You can’t handle all by yourself for entire life, can you?” He looked confident that they all felt convinced that he was right. Tara immediately declared “I will go back.” Rakesh smiled & he began to discuss other things. So, when Rakesh came, he immediately managed to send Tara out of her parent’s house. At beginning Tara felt that it was for her but soon she sensed that Rakesh didn’t want her to take more things from her house. She began to feel so hopeless. She began to feel so scared. Her daughter was small. Her daughter Sarika just entered in school. Sarika’s education expenses just began. Tara began to save some amount for Sarika’s education her husband was paying money but she knew that it wasn’t enough. She needed a job. She suddenly began to feel positive. Rakesh would help her. She ran toward Rakesh & asked “I need a job can you help me?” He looked towards her in such a way that she felt that she was most inferior & useless creature in world. He said “Come on! You can’t expect me to find a job for you! It’s going to be very difficult for you. You don’t know anything. You never tried job. You can’t begin now.” She nodded. But then she slowly added “But I need to earn money for Sarika.” Now Rakesh began to get frustrated. He couldn’t waste his influence on her. He didn’t want to waste his influence on any one except himself. He slowly said “You can rent that house.” She felt so confused. “But I am staying there. You feel I need to rent it & stay here.” Rakesh was so angry. He didn’t want her in his house. According him his parent’s house just belonged to him.  “I told you that you must stay there but it’s big Bangalow, isn’t it?” “Yes!”  “Two floors! Rent one!” She nodded. She was not happy about this idea but she didn’t have option. She needed to stay with unknown people with her daughter but her option was over. She felt so scared about it. She was so stressed. She told herself that everything would be fine one day. She knew that she needed to take that step. She needed to start her life in her independent way. She agreed. She decided to take her some things on that day & she planned to shift. Her Mom kept insisting on coming with her but her father objected. “Come on! Who will cook in this house if you went away.” Immediately Rakesh screamed. Then Mom decided that she would stay in home only. Tara said nervously “Don’t worry I will manage.” Tara began to tense but Sarika seemed happy at that thought. Then Tara called her ex-husband regarding keys. She had them but still she wanted to confirm. Her ex-husband agreed to help her in settling down. He said “After all Sarika is my daughter.” She was glad to get help. She was so pleased that he cared for their daughter so it was fixed that she would go there alone.

               Tara reached to house. She began to wait. No one came for long time. Finally, one man came. She didn’t like look of that man. That man was observing her for some time. She decided that she might needed to call another Cab & go back to her parent’s house. On that point suddenly this man came near her little daughter Sarika & asked “Are you Sarika?” Sarika nodded & immediately took grip of her hand. That man came & gave her keys. She kept looking with confusion. He said “This is key of your house. Sir is no longer going to come here. Madam got very angry when she understood it that you are starting to see him again.” She didn’t understand. Then she grasped. She gave nervous laugh & said “I am not planning to date your sir. I just wanted to enter in flat by mistake my keys got misplaced.” That man said “Madam want to talk with you.” She agreed. When he called his Madam, she immediately thanked her. “I am so sorry. I don’t want to call your husband. I understand that he is your husband not mine. I just wanted help to go in house & little bit in shifting.” That woman said “If you want help then that man who is our driver can help you.” She immediately thanked her & accepted her suggestion. Soon she shifted call & that driver smiled. Driver seemed very happy to help her. When she talked about her plans, Driver told his Madam could arrange suitable tenant too. She was so happy. She was no longer angry with that woman who took away her husband. She was glad that someone was helping her. She was ready to take help of anyone. She just wanted to settle in that house. Finally, Driver went away & she managed to settle enough. She looked around. That house was so strange. She began to feel as if every item was talking. She knew that no one was there. She started to look around. She told herself that she was fine but she wasn’t. She soon began to feel as if one chair was coming towards her daughter Sarika. She ran to Sarika & took her in arms. Sarika was so shocked. Sarika “Mom what happened?” “That chair was trying to kill you.” Sarika kept looking towards her. Tara screamed. Walls of that house started to come near. She knew that she was going to die. She didn’t want to die. Without second thought she began to call Rakesh. She began to tell him. Rakesh screamed angrily “Do you sense this is middle of night? Cut that drama. Go to sleep. If you dare to call me again, I will expose your madness. Your husband was irritated by it. You are mad from beginning.” She shivered. She never thought this way. She looked towards her daughter Sarika. She was mad. She must not take responsibility of her daughter. She shivered. Rakesh disconnected call. She was so scared. She called her ex-husband & started to requesting “Just take away your daughter. Please! I am losing my mind. I might harm her.” On that point Sarika started crying & began to tell how did she dragged her. Sarika was hurt by her dragging. Her ex-husband agreed to come. She went in one room & locked herself while keeping Sarika outside. She didn’t want to hurt her daughter. After some time, her ex-husband came. She didn’t come out. She kept telling him to go away. Finally, they broke that door. Doctors came to take her & she was taken away in hospital. Her ex-husband came to talk to Psychiatrist with his present wife. He said “She was normal during our married life.” His wife “At beginning I thought she is pretending…” Psychiatrist “No she is not pretending. This happened due to her brother Rakesh. He wanted to throw her out of house. So, he kept chatting to her. He kept sending emails. Finally, she got convinced that she had mental issue.” Her ex-husband & his wife shivered. Her ex-husband said “Actually I tried hard to adjust in our marriage but I can’t she was so different. But I never thought all will turn this way.” “Don’t worry she will be fine in sometime just try to arrange that tenant I don’t feel she can find job in this condition. Then she can come back in house & take care of her daughter too.” Sarika’s step Mom looked relieved. They decided not to discuss anything with Tara’s family. They decided that they would handle all by themselves. When Tara’s Mom called her ex-husband told all & told them not to contact Tara again. Finally, after some treatment Tara came out & began her life with Sarika. Sarika was glad to be with her mom again & their life started once again in new way. Tara began to move ahead without keeping any contact with her parents or Rakesh.
