Adventure story. 728. Waiting for her mom

                                               Waiting for her mom

Tara began to paint different canvases. She was painting different designs which were creating pleasant appeal on her mind. She was sure that soon she would start selling them. But then suddenly she looked around. In her small house she was adding too much canvases. It was getting so congested but she knew that no one would complaint against her. They all were observing canvas carefully. She began to get involved in those scenes. She knew that they were not real but still she started to feel as if she could enter in canvas. It was such pleasant thought. She turned around & called her mom. She began to wait for her mom. But her mom didn’t come instead of her grandpa came. Her grandpa gave her angry look & said “Stop screaming. You want to paint then keep painting.” She felt so confused. “I want to show it to mom.” Grandpa looked so angry. “How many times I need to tell you that your mom is not here so don’t talk about her?” She didn’t understand. She was so confused. Her mom used to take so much interest in her but now suddenly her mom was not coming out to even see her canvas. She looked towards door doubtfully. It was really odd. She was working hard every day. She was painting on mom’s guidance her mom supposed to appreciate. Tara didn’t understand why did her mom was not coming & her grandfather kept screaming on her this way. She didn’t like it at all. She began to feel so upset. She decided that she needed to search for her mom. She slowly began to move from one room to another in search of her mom. She was feeling so frustrated. She didn’t find her mom in any room. Their house was not so big. It was easy to search those three rooms. She could easily find a person in those rooms but her mom was not in those rooms. She kept searching. She didn’t scream this time. She knew that it would upset her grandfather. Soon she sensed her mom was nowhere. She felt so confused. She decided that she needed to feel positive. But she was feeling nervous only. She didn’t understand where her mom was? She needed to find her. She wanted to find some way with which she could find her mom. But she couldn’t. She was feeling so nervous. She was pretty sure her mom must be around. Then she suddenly began to remember. Her mom had died. She knew that her mom died due to illness. Her mom was ill for some time. She didn’t understand that how could she forget it. This was so stressful. She needed to think about all in positive way but her thoughts were not on right track. She didn’t understand why she was searching for her mom. She knew that now she needed to go to grandfather & began to apologize. She didn’t want her grandfather to share this with anyone. Her father wouldn’t like it. Her brother was also going to say many things about her. She felt so upset. She needed to think about all in positive way. She thought about her behaviour. She was acting like mad person. She didn’t have any doubt about it. She was calling her dead mom. Her mom didn’t die suddenly her mom was sick for months. They knew that she was going to die. They even kept nurse for her mom. She couldn’t forget it all. Her mom was bedridden for some time. She couldn’t forget those months. She didn’t understand how could she search for someone who was not walking for long time. She told herself to relax.

          Grandfather was so upset by all. He was not expecting this. Tara was screaming such loudly. Tara was losing her normal sense day by day. Grandfather tried to explain it to remaining family but it didn’t help much. They just began to scream on Tara. Grandfather was scared that if he complaint again. They might punish her. They could stop her money or tell her to just keep staying in her own room. It would make her worst. She needed to go out more. Grandfather tried to suggest them but no one was ready. Neither Tara’s dad nor Tara’s brother cared for her. They were busy with their life. It was clear that both were planning to live their life with their life partners. Since Tara’s mom got sick, her dad began to take interest in one widow from office. That widow was nice friend of Tara’s mom so her dad never showed intentions while Tara’s mom was alive. But her grandfather knew them very well. It was clear to him that from beginning Tara’s father was using his wife’s sickness to get attention of his wife’s friend. Tara was young. But Tara never liked that woman much. Tara even sensed that something was wrong. Once grandfather said to Tara’s mom “I feel my son & your husband is getting too friendly with your friend. She is widow so clearly there is no one to stop him.” “Come on! I don’t have much days left so what is use to stopping him. Let him plan his future.” “& what about your daughter’s future?” Tara’s mom looked tense. It was clear that it never crossed her mind that Tara might suffer. “I don’t understand. They just needed to find one nice husband for Tara. They will surely do that! Her brother is also there. Tara will be safe. They will take good care of her.” Her grandfather didn’t believe in it but Tara’s mom was so sick. It was useless to argue with her. Grandfather knew that Tara’s mom couldn’t do anything. Grandfather just looked away & then he just left room. After that Tara’s mom tried to tell her father to arrange some thing for Tara. If possible, Tara’s mom wanted Tara to get married but Tara’s Dad done nothing. He was not planning to spend his time on his daughter. He wanted to enjoy his life. Grandfather was observing all. Even today Grandfather was observing situation of Tara. No one cared for Tara. It was so frustrating. Tara slowly knocked & entered in room. She sat beside Grandfather. Grandfather sensed that she came to convince him not discuss anything about her with others. Grandfather was planning to agree. Since he knew that it was useless. They didn’t care for her. Grandfather gave her one irritating look. Her grandfather didn’t understand why did Tara kept acting so submissively. Tara needed to fight but she was not. Tara began to talk “Sometimes I feel as if mom is there. I know it’s wrong but it’s not so wrong. Is it? You don’t need to tell it to anyone.” “Right? It’s normal to search for dead person!! I am old man but I have not lost my marbles. When person started to search for dead person or talk to dead person something is wrong with that person’s brain. I know that much & I am sure about it. But your family don’t care & I am not planning to spend my energy in this old age on you so you can relax. You can keep searching for dead people.” Her grandfather said this & left room. It was taunt but she was happy since she just wanted him to keep quiet & he was planning to do that. She went back in her room happily.

           Nisha was Tara’s mom's friend so she acted nicely with her family but after her death she didn’t like the way Tara’s father kept coming to visit her. Nisha wanted to stop it. Nisha never planned to keep any relation with Tara’s father but she began to feel as if Tara’s father was planning some romantic commitment from her. It was sort of shocking for her. She was so frustrated. She began to avoid his call. But today he once again insisted that she must meet him. She told him that it was going to be last time. He agreed. So, she was sitting on one table of restaurant. Nisha was so frustrated. Nisha began to feel that now he needed to concentrate on Tara. But he was searching for new wife. Nisha never understood his attitude. Sometimes Nisha felt that she also got carried away. She wanted someone with whom she could share her memories. She got no one. She didn’t even had children so she began to share her memories. She began to chat for hours with Tara’s father but she never planned to disrespect soul of her late husband. She always loved him. She was still honest to her late husband. It was so sad. She wanted him to understand. She decided that today she would make it clear to him. He came towards her table & immediately started talking “I know Sara was special to you. But now she is dead. We need to move on…” “It’s not about Sara. I never loved you & that was truth.” She felt so shocked when he began to say “Come on. All know we love each other.” “Who told you that?” Now it was his time to feel shocked. He assumed that it was true. He felt that she loved him. “I don’t get it. You never loved me?!” “No; never!” “So, I imagined all.” “Well. I was thinking about my late husband always.” She once again began to smile that same way. He sensed that it was not about him. He smiled even when he wanted to cry. He knew that he didn’t want her as his wife now. She was thinking about some one else. He regretted losing his wife so much on that moment. He always felt that he would have Nisha as his wife immediately. Now he needed wife. He couldn’t imagine life without companion. He needed someone. Nisha slowly continued “You need to understand. Now you need to pay attention to Tara. Try to find husband for her…” He suddenly began to understand. No one was interested in him since he had children. He had daughter. Nisha kept talking with hope that he would sense his responsibility. Nisha “Now you needed to pay attention to Tara. She is not acting normal. She kept searching for her mom. She needed to go out & get some help.” He understood all. It was Tara’s madness that cause this issue. Nisha was not interested in him since Tara was his daughter. Tara needed to be taken to Psychiatrist. He immediately nodded. He knew that he couldn’t win Nisha but he could find another woman. He just needed to handle Tara first. He immediately agreed. “You are right but do you have mobile number of Psychiatrist?”  Nisha nodded. Nisha was so happy. She wanted to give it for long time. “Now Tara’s mom is no longer alive. I will come with her. Of course, if you don’t mind.” He nodded immediately. He got new idea. Now he needed to use Tara for keeping Nisha with him. His sick wife was dead but his mentally disturbed daughter was alive. He could use her. “It will be so kind of you if you help.” Nisha felt so happy at this suggestion. Tara’s dad invited Nisha in house & Nisha immediately agreed. Nisha wanted to help. When Nisha came, Tara’s Grandfather was so upset. But when they started discussing taking Tara out, Grandfather felt happy. Grandfather was happy even when they suggested Psychiatrist. The way Tara was searching for her dead mom regularly. He felt that she was better in mental institute than at home. He was scared that she might harm herself one day in these moments. Then after sometime Tara joined them. Tara was scared at beginning but soon she sensed that before Nisha her dad was acting sweetly with her. She agreed to their every suggestion. They visited to Psychiatrist. Psychiatrist talked with her. Soon she sensed that Nisha was her best help. She felt calling Nisha home. Due to Nisha her father began to shower her with love & gifts. Soon her life became better. Step by step Nisha even got convinced to marry to Tara’s dad but Tara was always special for Nisha. So, Nisha insisted giving her best. Tara’s brother was so upset. But Tara’s dad didn’t care. Finally, Tara planned to make career in banking. Tara decided to keep canvasing as hobby. After sometime she found suitable boy & she got married. Tara’s dad was so happy on that day. He was tired of pretending love towards his daughter. Finally, Tara went to her husband's house. Her dad smiled happily & began to live his life with his second wife Nisha. Now Nisha was no longer concerned about Tara & most importantly Nisha felt that she did right by doing second marriage. She was happy with her decision. Her sacrifice of those memories which had of her first husband Tara deserved love & attention.
