Adventure story. 698. Watching out of window

                      Watching out of window

Isha was watching out of window for hours. She wanted everything to be turn out in right way. But it wasn’t moving in that way. Life was so complicated for her. She was not having any issues in her life. She was not rich but still her life was comfortable. She was enjoying enough luxuries to satisfy her. She was working hard to get success. It was not happening. She knew that her life was normal one. It had ups & downs. She needed to handle them all. She didn’t want to feel negative but she kept feeling it. She looked out of window. She knew that she needed to start working again. But she didn’t feel much hope that it would bring something positive in her life. She knew that she needed to work hard but still she couldn’t get success. She kept watching out of window. She didn’t understand what sort of change she was expecting. She was looking out of window with full attention. She was observing everything carefully. She was looking around. It seemed as if she was searching for some bird or something which could give her clue. She was feeling so stressed. She started to look out with concentration. She knew that nature was biggest power or strength. She knew that nature supposed to give her some clue. But it was not happening. She sensed that nature was not giving her any signal. She needed to understand what she supposed to do by her own brain. She laughed at her own stupidity. Until now nature never gave her any signal. She needed to work hard to find way in her life through her own mind. She didn’t understand why did she was expecting it. She once again sat on her laptop. On that point suddenly her younger sister Charu came. Charu started to look out of window. She began to observe things carefully. Everything was looking so normal. But Charu began to scream “Do you notice those leaves were changing their colours?”  She didn’t say anything. She knew that leaves were looking different but it was as per season. Then she sensed that it might be little bit early. She wasn’t sure. She just kept looking out of window. She knew that she didn’t sense any signal. She didn’t understand why she didn’t. On that point her father came in room. Charu began to scream & talk about that change of colour in leaves. She felt so nervous. Her father looked towards those leaves & said “Wow so true! You understand all.” Charu smiled. Charu “Do you understand? I can tell you what will happen next?” “Really? Tell?” Then Charu began to lie. It was frustrating for her. Charu started to create different meaning from everything that they could see from that window. Soon everything seemed to have different meaning & her Dad started to justify Charu. It began to get confusing for her. She didn’t see anything meaningful out of that window. She wanted to see but she could just see normal nature. She didn’t see any indications. She kept watching & suddenly she decided that she was not special. She turned towards Charu & said “You are so special.” Charu smiled. Inside her heart she felt little bit jealous about her younger sister. Charu was talented. She didn’t understand that why Charu was just so smart. Charu always found different things which had meaning. Then Isha began to sense different that she needed to feel normal. Isha went near window. She couldn’t see anything. Her dad said “Go back why you are standing before window? You will never see what Charu saw. Just go away.” She felt so nervous. Charu smiled pleasantly. Charu always felt happy when Charu was admired. She didn’t care if Isha got insulted. Isha left that room immediately.

           Isha felt so sad. Her life was stuck in strange web of troubles. She began to feel so negative in her mind. She was trying hard to control it. Charu was becoming too much for it. It was her room from where her Dad told her to go out or at least once her Dad told them that this second bedroom would belong to them. But now it became just Charu’s room. She stayed there but Charu was giving importance. Then her dad & Charu kept discussing different things while Isha was told to go out. Isha felt so nervous. Isha didn’t understand how did she supposed to have special skills. She never heard about them. She always considered them as fake things. She taught again & again in school & college that no one could manage to get such skills. It was madness to believe in them. But still her younger sister Charu claimed them. Charu felt that she got unique sort of skills which managed to make her special & her dad kept admiring them. But world didn’t call them crazy. It was so odd & different. She didn’t understand that why did they didn’t get criticized. They kept getting admired by world. Charu was never considered mad. She could see their double standards. For them Isha was ordinary girl. She was not special. But Charu was special one. Isha decided to concentrate on other things. She was sitting on floor in balcony. She didn’t have much option. She needed to sit there. Her house had two bedrooms. One belonged to her parents & her dad kept it locked. She couldn’t use it & she was told to go out from another bedroom. She had no option but sit in balcony. She didn’t like that heat but it felt worst when they began to talk about signal, they get through nature. She began to feel something odd but the way things were moving ahead. She didn’t feel it was normal. She looked towards nature. It was so beautiful. She supposed to admire every aspect of nature. She wanted to sense its unique look. She found that nature was unique & relaxing but it wasn’t saying anything. Then she heard that Charu was screaming loudly. Charu was telling “Dad someone going to visit us today!” “Really you sense who!” “Well, I can’t see all but it is some woman elderly…I feel maybe connected to us through bloodline…” On that point Isha noticed that her Auntie was coming through Society Gate. It was so shocking. She couldn’t believe that Charu could sense this. Charu told next incidence without any help. She was sitting in Balcony with shock. On that point Auntie saw her & smiled. Auntie was so happy but Isha was so tense. Now for hours her dad would keep describing greatness of Charu. She was so tired of listening to admiration of Charu. But she didn’t have much option. She needed to go in hall to meet Auntie. She knew that if she didn’t Auntie would call her & her Mom would tell her to come. It would look like odd sort of drama & her dad would get another chance to criticize her. It was becoming worst for her but still she went in hall. Charu was already sitting her Auntie & dad was sitting next to them. They were already busy in conversation. She felt so glad. She just said “Hi” to Auntie. Auntie might had talked with her further but Charu immediately demanded attention & Isha didn’t need to say anything. She began to feel so happy. She could sit peacefully in background.

        Mom was listening to Charu’s conversation. It was clearly turning towards madness. She needed to stop it. Mom didn’t understand why did Dad kept encouraging it. Most odd thing was Auntie didn’t speak against it. Mom didn’t understand what was going on. It was stressful for Isha. She needed to think positively about all. But Mom kept feeling negative. She didn’t like the way Isha was getting bullied. Most importantly she didn’t like the way they kept telling world that they had superpower. They didn’t have any. It was just their imagination. When Auntie left, Mom immediately began to talk “What are you telling to all?” dad gave smile & asked “What?” “That you have supernatural power!” “Oh! That! I cracked one joke.” Isha gave shocked look. Isha “But you said it’s true. You said that Charu can manage to learn future that was her special skill.” Charu & dad started laughing. It was so frustrating. She didn’t understand what was happening. Mom looked towards her with concerned. Isha said “Charu just predicated that Auntie was coming.” Mom “Because she knew that Auntie was coming. Your cousin called few days ago from abroad & told his mom was coming today.” Charu & dad started laughing loudly. Isha felt so sad & nervous. She didn’t understand what was happening. She was so nervous. Her Mom said slowly “They fooled you.” Dad “ She is fool we don’t need to do anything about her.” Isha felt so sad. She looked around. She began to feel so suffocated. She tried so hard to control herself but she started breathing in strange way. Immediately Charu said “This sick girl is always going to remain sick.” She was so stressed. Dad gave her angry look & said “Now we need to go to Doctor.” She didn’t understand why did she needed to get breathless like that. It was happening now a days again & again. She kept telling herself to calm down. Doctor told her once that she needed to calm down then it would stop. Dad “It’s nothing physical. It’s just mental issue.”  She knew that too so she started to tell herself to relax. She wanted to feel positive but she was feeling so negative. Her mind was moving towards negative thoughts again & again. She didn’t understand how to handle her breathing. Finally, her mom called Doctor. Doctor suggested to take her to hospital for checkup. She was so scared. Her dad & Charu already began to scream on her mom but her mom was fighting back. Finally, they decided one hospital & her Mom took her down. Her dad was coming down slowly. Her mom managed to catch one Cab. They sat inside. Mom started to call her dad who came down very slowly. Finally, her dad came down. Then they went to hospital. Doctors & nurses came to help her. Her dad whole time kept criticizing her. It was getting worst for her. She was finally admitted. Her dad said “This is mental.” Doctor gave him angry look & said “If she has mental issues, you are responsible for them too. We have nice psychiatrist. We will help her. Just make payment.”  “You are just wasting my money.”  Doctor gave angry look & said “Come on do you want to kill your doctor? If she dies, I will make sure you will be blamed not my hospital.” Her dad looked scared & agreed to make payment. She was admitted in hospital until her blood pressure didn’t become normal. Slowly her breathing became normal too. Then Psychiatrist came. He began to talk with her.  She began to feel so relaxed. She was so happy. When she came home, immediately her dad started targeting her. She didn’t respond much. She kept sitting on her bed & doing her work. She was so busy in her work that she didn’t have much chance to pay attention to them. Most importantly she tried her best to do her work. Slowly her dad & Charu lost interest in her. As time went by all began to sense their lies people started to admire her talent. She was so happy when she got nice opportunity to became partner in one business. She began it as working partner. Slowly she sensed her partner admired her. She got married to him. Her dad didn’t have much option but to move ahead she desired since she didn’t got nervous. Due to her psychiatric treatment, she was fine. She managed to settle her life. She lived one happy married life with life partner whom she loved & who loved her. It was wonderful. She was always thankful towards her mom for forcing her to visit psychiatrist now her health was great. Her life was normal. She didn’t believe in nonsense which Charu & her dad still kept telling her whenever she met them. Whenever she watched out of window, she just admired beauty of nature never such anything supernatural in it. She learnt to understand what was reality of life & how did sometimes close relatives fooled you too.
