The change in life
Chetan
started to think about different concepts of his thought. He had new thoughts
about dreams. He had his old dreams but now he sensed that they were not
enough. He needed to find new one. He was working hard to understand that
concept. It had different routes. He was so positive about it. His sister Rita
came inside. Rita asked “What are you writing brother?” “Nothing much
important. It’s just different concept.” “Why you kept changing concepts?”
“Because people want them in different way.” Rita kept looking towards him with
disbelief. Then Rita said “I don’t feel so. I feel that they are just
interested in regular one.” Then Rita just left room. He felt so depressed. He
didn’t understand why did she supposed to act so negative about his work. He
decided that he did his best. He closed his laptop & went to eat something.
Soon he sensed kitchen was almost empty. He started to call his mom but then he
sensed that his mom was not in home. His mom died few months ago. It was not
unexpected. His mom was sick with cancer for long time but still his mom used
work in kitchen whenever she felt okay. His dad was never interested in taking
care of his mom so his dad took one job which was in another town. He was glad
that his dad was shifted there. He didn’t want his dad to come back. He was
happy without him. On that point his mobile rang. It was his dad. Dad “I
decided to quit my job.” “Oh!” “How long I can work?! I need break too.” He
didn’t say anything. He didn’t want his dad to come back. His dad was always
negative towards him. His dad kept taunting him. Rita was always favorite since
Rita was planning to marry his friend’s son. Actually, Rita was just in school
but still she was planning to date that boy. He didn’t understand this idea.
But Rita approved it so he didn’t have much right to disagree. Rita was running
after that boy their dad was encouraging he was only one who felt it was wrong.
Of course, his mom had opinion just like him but she was dead now. He knew that
as soon as his dad entered in house, they would begin calling this boy Raja in
house every day with his father. Dad approved them. His dad always kept
dominating when he came home but when they needed to handle some crisis his dad
always ran away. In his eyes his dad was just weak man. A loser! But before
world his dad pretended as strong man with help of Rita. He didn’t want to
argue with them. He just kept away from them. He decided that whenever his dad
would come back once again, he would keep away from them.
Chetan was working hard on that day
when his dad was coming home. He was feeling so sad. When his mom was sick,
they needed help his dad never came but now when she was gone his dad came. His
dad was going to take hold of all. Chetan knew that with certainty since his
dad always took hold of everything. His dad was too much dominating. But he
decided that he could concentrate on his concepts & his work. He visited
some clients. His clients were happy with his work. He was so happy. He started
to dream about managing becoming something big in world. He knew that he was
dreaming too much but still he was hopeful. His life was moving in right way.
His negative feeling regarding come back of his dad were reduced. He began to
think about his future. When he reached home, he rang doorbell with full hope. His
dad didn’t open door for long time. Finally, he decided to search for door key.
He could hear voice of TV it was so loud. His dad was just sitting next to
door. But he sensed that his dad was not going to open door. So, he decided
that he needed to do that. He began to search for door key. He found it quickly
& opened door. When he began to go inside his dad screamed “If you are
making cup of tea then make one for me too.” He was so upset. He wanted to
relax first. He said “I am not going to make tea.” “Oh! Then whenever you plan
to make just add one cup of water in it for me.” His dad was relaxing while
forcing him to work. It was so frustrating. He wanted to argue but he knew that
it was useless. His income was limited so he didn’t have any right to say
anything. He just decided to ignore his dad’s comment & went in his room.
He began to change his clothes when suddenly Rita appeared. Rita gave him angry
look & asked “What happened?” “I want to change my clothes.” “I know but I
needed my stuff.” Then she kept shifting things while he was waiting. It was
really frustrating. He didn’t understand why did his sister harassing him like
that. It was frustrating. He needed to get over his negative thoughts. But due
to behavior of his sister. He was feeling so upset. Finally, Rita went out. Chetan managed to get room for himself for some time. But he was on verge of
crying. It was clear that his dad was planning to make his life miserable. He
knew that Rita was doing everything on his dad’s suggestions. It was important
for them to treat him that way. He never understood why but they wanted to keep
him under his thumb. It was important to them. He knew that very well.
Next morning when Chetan began to do
his breakfast dad came in kitchen screaming loudly. Dad “This house is becoming
useless day by day. That breakfast looked so disgusting. Rita can hardly touch
it.” He was so shocked. Until now he used to cook same breakfast for her &
she used to eat. Since mom was sick, he used handle all by himself. He said
“But I cook this breakfast daily!” “It was past. Now I will decide what we
suppose to eat.” He was so shocked. He was not some servant. But his dad
already began to declare him a servant. He looked with shock. “I will cook
whatever I can.” “Oh!” Dad gave him angry look. Rita entered on that time &
said “Oh! I can’t eat this.” “But you always eat this…” “Since mom was sick
& house was like hospital now, she is dead I need a break. I want something
fancy & tasty.” He felt so sad. He said “I know this much cooking. I am
going out now. You need to order or you can…” Dad “We can keep cook. Don’t
worry I will find one.” He just nodded. He felt so upset. He was working for so
many years when his mom was sick. But they never kept a servant as cook but now
it was possible. In end mom needed to go to nursing home since it was not
possible for anyone to take care of her. But Dad never offered money for a
nurse who could take care of mom. Now suddenly money was appearing so easily.
It was so frustrating. He just decided to go out. He immediately went away.
When he returned home, he saw food was already cooked. But it was too spicy for
his taste. He decided to cook some for himself. As soon as he started his dad
came from behind. Dad “You are unhealthy just like your mom. You always manage
to create issues everywhere. Now you need to cook your different food. You are
truly sick person such burden for family.” He felt so sad. His mom was
showering him with affection when she was alive so when she got sick, he did
all. But his mom gave same affection to whole family. Still, he was only one
who cared for her. He didn’t say anything. He just finished cooking his food
& went back to his room to get ready. He began to feel so nervous. He
started to cry. He didn’t want anyone to hear so he locked his door. His life
was moving in worst way & he had no doubts about it. He was moving on one
way which was leading to increase in sorrows. The way things were moving he knew that it had just negativity in
life. He told himself to concentrate on his job.
Next day once
again Chetan did his breakfast. He managed to cook his lunch & dinner. He
began to go when suddenly cook appeared. Cook immediately screamed on him “Keep
your food aside. When I start cooking, I don’t want disturbance” He was so
shocked. He was not expecting cook to start screaming him. But he did it. He
went out of kitchen. He began to feel so upset. Every one was treating him like
dust. He went out. He knew that he needed to cry again. He was crying like that
again & again. Since his dad came he was crying daily. When he went in his
office, his friend asked “What happened? Why did your eyes look swollen?” He
didn’t say anything at first. Then he slowly explained entire incidence. He
needed to feel positive. He kept sensing negativity in his soul. He wanted a
hope so he told everything to his friend. His friend said slowly “Your Dad is
going to be big problem.” He just nodded. He said slowly “Shifting in another
house will be hard too.” His friend looked nervous but said slowly “What about
becoming son-in-law who will live in wife’s house?” He felt so angry. “Stop
this nonsense!” He didn’t want to discuss further. He felt so nervous. His mind
started to move on negative track. He began to feel totally disturbed. On that
point he rejected it. Then he went home. He began to try to adjust. Soon they
stopped ordering things which needed for cooking. Finally, situation turned in
such a way that he just managed to cook rice & some curry without any
spice. Other things were not available for him. His crying increased. He began
to get nervous every day. He started to stay inside his room. He started to
reduce his lunch & dinner. Finally, his friend came to him once again &
said “I got better option.” He gave him card of psychiatrist. “You need help. I
took appointment let’s go today.” He just nodded. He went there with his
friend. Psychiatrist listened to him & said “Your dad is problem but bigger
problem is death of your mom. You can’t get over it & due to your father
you are scared to get married. But don’t worry! We will handle it.” After that
they started sessions of psychiatric treatment. He began to feel little better day
by day. He started to feel hope in his mind. Then his Dad started insisting on telling
that home belonged to just him. He wanted freedom. He decided to follow advice
of his friend. Psychiatrist also said that he should try. It turned out that
girl was only daughter & parents were elderly couple with sickness. They
had business which daughter was handling & they wanted their son-in-law to
help her. They also wanted him to stay with them. It was their need. He could
easily manage to get help if they fall sick on odd timing. He agreed. When he told
this in his house Rita & his dad laughed & taunted but he didn’t care. Finally,
he got married. He told about his treatment & even took his wife there.
Soon after marriage his issue reduced & Psychiatrist stopped treatment. But
whenever Rita or his dad came before him. He felt so sick & nervous. But
his wife always managed to handle them. He just decided to avoid them. It was
for his best. That change in life would perfect for him. He was happy that he did what was best for him.
The End
