Beautiful flowers
Seem a was
observing out of window when she thought about those beautiful flowers. She was looking
towards garden. It were so many unique colors in flowers. They were so pleasant.
She was planning to work to hard to create this garden. Her husband Subhash gave her this
idea. She wanted to spend her time on something constructive. At beginning she
tried to find jobs but it didn’t work. They were not paying much but demanding
too much. She began to get exhausted. Now Subhash wanted tasty food for
himself. He didn’t want her to be exhausted. But still Subhash waited. Then
after sometime he finally said “No offense but you look too exhausted!” “I feel
same. I don’t want to work so hard.” “Then why don’t you quit your low payment
job?” This managed to hurt her. Subhash continued “It look so wrong that you
are working whole time like that! You need to relax.” She began to feel
convinced too. She kept so many servants just to handle her household chores
& she was working for some other boss who was not paying her much. She
needed to rethink. She said slowly “If I quit job, I can’t keep sitting in
house whole time?” “I know that too. I want you to relax but I like if you keep
some hobbies too. What about growing some garden?” She smiled happily. They had
nice balcony but Subhash never suggested to grow anything. He always
discouraged her. He kept saying “It was too much hard work.”” Mosquitoes might
increase…” “Those plants will bring too much weight on building people will
complaint.” Subhash had given lots of causes to not do it so she never tried.
But on that day, he encouraged. She felt so positive. Next day she told Boss
that she was quitting job. She wanted to leave job on nice terms. She tried her
best to look positive. But her Boss began to scream loudly “You can’t leave job
like that. You need to inform me before.” She felt so nervous. She said “Sorry
Sir.” “You can’t leave like that. I need notice.” “But Sir you are not paying
me much so my husband wants me to quit. If you want you can send me legal
notice, my husband will handle it.” “Really? If your husband is so capable why
you are working here in such a low salary.” “Since I don’t want to sit in my
empty house.” She didn’t explain further. She just went away. She told
everything to Subhash. He nodded happily. “Don’t worry. I can handle many
people like that.” She felt so happy but when she started staying in house, she
began to feel negative again. Then slowly she began to plan her garden in most
wonderful way. She would feel so positive about all. She began to decide
design. On that point door bell rang. Her Cook came inside. Cook looked towards
her with smile. Cook “You are at home Madam.” “Yes I am. Let me show you what
you suppose to cook today.” They had cook for she felt that she didn’t need to
pay attention to cooking. But it turned out as soon as she began to permit cook
to handle all their dinner & lunch became less & less tasteless. It was
clear that she needed to pay attention to cooking too. She slowly went in
kitchen with cook. She began to observe & guide cook how did they want
their food. Cook was little upset but cook didn’t have much option. Cook needed
to obey her orders. Cook did as per Seema’s advice. Seema was so happy.
Finally, everything started to fall back on its place. Her life was moving
ahead in better way. She decided that Subhash was right. After sometime she
went back in garden.
Seema’s Cook was so frustrated. Cook
knew that her boss Subhash did this since she didn’t obey him. Subhash kept
irritating her with different demands. She was told to iron his clothes too. It
was not her job so she denied. She knew that after it, Subhash even asked maid.
Maid did it with hope of some extra money. Maid was happy to get some coins.
Now Subhash was trying hard to take revenge on her. Subhash was strange man.
Subhash always liked to bully people. It was not just about servants. Subhash
liked to bully everyone. Subhash always kept bossing his wife Seema in
everything. Even today Cook noticed Seema was working in garden. It was done
just according to Subhash’s wishes. Cook decided that she needed to talk with
Seema. Cook came to garden & asked “Madam why you are gardening in such
heat?” Seema was truly sweating. Seema’s entire night gown was wet. Seema
smiled nervously & said “I thought it would be better idea. It’s difficult
to do it in evening & in night it’s impossible.” Cook “You must not go near
trees in night! Something might bite you.” Seema nodded. She began to get
upset. She started to feel so nervous. She told herself that little heat
couldn’t harm her. She smiled & said “It is okay.” Cook nodded & went
back to kitchen. Seema once again began to concentrate on plants which she
wanted to arrange. She wanted to arrange them all properly. She began to plan.
She needed to plan before purchasing them. She needed to think what sort of
flowers she wanted. Step by step she began to think about different type of
flowers. She began to imagine their beauty after seeing their petals carefully
she could select flowers first she needed to go to plant nursery or some stall
in which shopkeeper had display of flowers. She needed to choose carefully. She
went in kitchen. Cook already managed to cook part of food. Cook never cooked
complete lunch or dinner just some items were cooked by Cook. She felt so
stressed. She knew that now she needed to cook remaining things. Her life was
not easy. But she didn’t understand that why it was becoming so complicated. It
supposed to be easy. She was so nervous. She had cook & maid. Still she
needed to work so hard daily. She didn’t understand why it was happening. She
had left job. Then she suddenly remembered. She needed to iron Subhash’s
clothes. Subhash’s business associates were coming next day. She needed to
arrange all starters & cocktails too. It was so important for him. She
needed to manage all. She knew that she didn’t need to do much in house so she
could surely manage to do these basic things which were required for business
to prosper like sometimes Subhash could give parties in their house. She began
to arrange all. After doing ironing she began to get tired then she needed to
prepare for starters & cocktails. Finally, she was so exhausted that she
decided to drink some juice & sat on sofa. She began to watch TV. She
decided to skip purchasing plants for garden. She didn’t need to hurry about
them. It could be done later on suitable time. She needed proper time for it.
Entire time Seema kept working &
arranging those cocktails. She was trying to place them properly. She wanted to
manage put all on table. She began to feel so restless. She knew that once she
used to arrange for such parties but she used to assist her mother-in-law. She
never did alone. Her mother-in-law was such good support but now her
mother-in-law never visited her. She was receiving just hate by her
mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law wanted heir for their family. Her
mother-in-law wanted grandson. Seema didn’t give birth to son. She gave birth
to one daughter. It was tragic according to her mother-in-law but she didn’t
mind. She loved her daughter. Her life was happy until her daughter didn’t fall
sick. They tried many doctors but nothing worked. Her daughter had some heart
defect. They tried hard. Actually, she was trying hard. Subhash told her on
beginning that keeping fake hope was useless. But she was hopeful. She kept
trying hard to find way to bring happiness in their life. She went to many doctors.
Subhash always kept telling every relative how much money she was wasting but
honestly she didn’t care. She tried so hard but still her daughter died. They
all came to console her. But entire time they all kept saying that she did all
so much money was spent still nothing happened she needed to move on for
Subhash. It was so upsetting. She began to feel that it was her mistake. Her
mother-in-law came for rituals but her mother-in-law was not kind towards her.
Her mother-in-law said “First you gave birth to a daughter who was sick by
birth then you don’t even pay attention to my son! Look towards him. He is
earning all & you are spending it as per your choice. Do you sense how much
you wasted on this sick daughter?” She didn’t say anything. She kept so
nervous. She cried so much. After that she kept trying her best to ignore her
pain. She took that job. But it seemed that she wanted to remain positive &
hopeful. Her life was so confused. She was so sad about her daughter even
today. But she didn’t permit it. She knew that she needed to do all for
Subhash. She smiled & kept doing. Suddenly she began to feel strange pain
in her stomach. It was odd. She was feeling totally normal but now suddenly her
pain started to create impact. She was so upset. She knew that she needed to go
to Doctor. She called Subhash. “Hello I am feeling sick.” He said angrily
“What? You are sick again?” She could sense his negativity. It was sad. She
began to feel upset. She wanted to become perfect but she kept feeling sick.
Subhash “I feel you have issues like our daughter. Have you checked regarding
it? It could be hereditary.” She felt so nervous. She said slowly “I will visit
to Doctor & tell him.” “Great!” He disconnected call. She began to feel so
restless. She told herself that everything would be just fine. She called
Doctor & took appointment. She began to discuss. Doctor told her that she
needed to check up. He gave appointment. She went to doctor. Doctor checked her
& said “I don’t feel you have any serious issue. I don’t understand why
your stomach is paining this way.” She slowly talked about her daughter. Doctor
“When did this happened?” She gave year. Doctor “It’s long ago. Have you had
any issues after it? Like getting breathless or nightmares!” “No.” She didn’t
understand this question. Then Doctor slowly said “I feel you are physically
fit.” “But it’s paining so much.” Doctor “It can be mental issue. What about
visiting psychiatrist?” She gave nervous look & nodded. She just wanted to get
rid of this pain. She immediately called Subhash. She started to talk but he
screamed “Just do as doctor says don’t irritate me. I am busy.” She just
disconnected call. Then she took appointment of Psychiatrist. She felt so
nervous. She didn’t understand what was going on. But she decided to go by
Doctor’s advice. Then she went to Psychiatrist. She talked with Psychiatrist.
She didn’t sense she did for an hour. It was so relaxing. When she returned
home, she began to work for her garden. She selected one room & decorated
it with photos of her dead daughter. She decided that she wouldn’t bury her
love for daughter. Psychiatrist explained her this pain was happening since she
was trying bury her love towards her dead daughter. She felt so nervous. But
she kept doing it. Subhash was not happy when he noticed garden. But he
couldn’t complaint. He suggested it. He was so angry when he saw room in memory
of his dead daughter. He tried to object but she didn’t listen. She didn’t
give up. Then she slowly began to work in one orphanage. Subhash didn’t like it
but he didn’t have much option. When she suggested adopting one child. He
insisted on boy. She didn’t mind. She just wanted a child. But soon she sensed
that Subhash was not really interested in adopting. She forced to give up that
plan. But she began to go there & started to help those children. Soon she
became mother for them all. She was so happy. Subhash didn’t understand it but
she didn’t care she just kept going there. Soon she became happy person whose
life was full of smiles. She stopped her psychiatric treatment. She was
suffering no longer any pain. She began to feel so positive about all. When she
gave party, every guest asked her what did she done to have such positive
change. She said “I went to Psychiatrist who advised to visit orphanage.”
Subhash just smiled but after that he never objected her visits to orphanage.
Her garden was full of flowers & each flower reminded her of one child from
orphanage.
The End
