Owner of shop
Smita started arranging every thing properly. It was her duty before her employer Harish enter in shop. She had to arrange all things properly. She needed to set shop in proper way. She needed to arrange things properly in shops. She began to arrange those things in shop. Things were arranged on shelves. She managed to give perfect look to shop. She wanted to it show them in best way. She wanted it to look so great that customers started coming. Harish went to table. He started doing something on mobile. Now a days Harish didn't take much interest in shop. At beginning Harish used to sit in this shop with his Dad. He used to take so much interest in shop. He used to plan every day things needed to be set in window. He used to choose every item which would took so promising on every day. At that time their shop was not that much famous. They hardly had to arrange things but many times customers didn't use to come in shop. It was just used to remain empty for entire day. But Harish never loose spirit. He used to arrange it all. His Dad used to joke about his ways of arranging shops. Smita used to laugh a lot. Even today she couldn't help laughing when she remembered those days. At that time her life was not on good track. Her father suddenly died due to heart attack. Her Mom was trying to find job but she didn't manage to find job with enough money. She managed to find job but it was not good one. It was just small job. She needed some extra amount for her cloths. She needed nice type of cloths. But she could see her Mom's situation. They were three kids. Mom couldn't give them all things they wanted. In fact they were having problem in finding basic things like food. Smita was getting so upset with adjustment when Harish's father who was staying near them offered her this job. He was not too rich. But he had enough money to give her small salary. She started coming to his shop after college. She started working there. At start they hardly had customers. She used to just follow Harish's order and then she used to relax. Her days were just empty since whenever customer entered in shop. Harish started to attend them. Harish used to try so hard that this customer didn't leave their shop. But many times they just didn't like those things. Sometimes Smita used to think that they entered just to waste their time. Smita used to hate such people. She could sense them at entrance only. She knew that Harish used to sense them too. But he never gave up. Smita used to admire his skills. Then after sometime their shop started to have customers. Today when she looked around shop, she saw line of employees. She was head now. She used to tell them what they needed to do. Harish just never took interest in any thing. Smita was so shocked by this change. Actually she didn't know what happened in few years when she left job. She got married. Then she was busy with her family. She had beautiful daughter and nice husband. She was happy. But then her husband and daughter got busy with their life. Her daughter started to stay in school then she started to go in classes. Smita began to have some free time. But she never thought about joining this job until Harish's father didn't come one day to meet her. It was evening. He came to meet her. Her husband was also there. He requested her to come back on job. It was strange but then she couldn't deny that man who helped her. After all her daughter could always came to store by herself. Her husband was cooperative regarding this. Her daughter Rita was thrilled since she also wanted to become sales girl for some time. So Smita took this job. She assumed one wrong thing that Harish must had left this shop. Harish must had joined somewhere else for more money. But she was shocked when she saw Harish on first day. She noticed. No one was asking any question to Harish. They all were taking orders from her. She soon started to act like nice boss. But she still didn't understood this change in Harish. But then she couldn't ask. She just kept doing her job. She kept arranging in best way like Harish used to do.
Harish was busy on Mobile like every day. Smita avoided Harish's subject every day. But one day an employee asked her " Mam I heard you use to work for this shop before?" " Yes actully I am neighbor of Mr. Harish. I mean now my parents stay there." " Ohh..so do you know why did Harish Sir tried to kill himself?" Smita shouted out of shocked " What?" " Shh talk in slow voice. I don't want any one to listen to me." " I don't know anything about this. I want to know all." That woman looked around. " I will tell you after shop Madam." " What it your name?" " Kashi." " Okay Kashi. But don't discuss it with others." " They all know this. At beginning we assume he might be in love with you." " With me? No..No..I was always employee. You can even call sister. But then he never even noticed me that much. Actually I was not existed for him." " Now I know that. He never even look at you." Then customer entered and they both went back to work . But Smita sensed one thing that something was totally wrong with Harish. She started observing Harish carefully from that day. Something was surely wrong with him. Harish never looked away from his mobile. She decided that she might call Harish's Dad. Smita wanted to understand whole issue. She was not happy with this arrangement. She could clearly sensed every employee was gossiping behind back. Kashi was one who just wanted to speak about it. Others were hiding it. She knew that Kashi was telling truth. They all felt that she was having affair with Harish. This gossip would not help her. She was scared that if her daughter started to hear this. It would create worst effect on her. She knew one thing that Rita must not come here. But she had invited Rita herself. She was sure that Rita was going to come. She couldn't even told any one about it. Her husband would understand it but still she started to feel so scare. She didn't know what she could do if he took doubt on her. She was never involved in Harish but she had liked him. He looked like perfect candidate of husband on that point. But it was not love. She was just counting benefit that she could get by marrying him. It was like arranged marriage where girl would see boy. Generally they just counted benefits which he could give. His qualification, his money and finally his looks. After all they could fall in love with just picture. In case of Harish her Mom told her on first day that he was impossible choice for her. He was out of her reach. He had everything and she had nothing. So she kept away diplomatically. But she never saw any girl with him. His father were insisting on going out with one girl who was his friend's daughter. Harish went out with her. They seemed like nice couple. She felt happy for them since she had understood that she didn't like Harish that much. She just liked his money and comforts. Since she didn't feel jealous when she saw him with other girl. But then her marriage was fixed. Slowly she fall in love with her husband and Harish just went out of her mind. But today when she saw him, she remembered those days. She was so scared. She didn't understand how did her husband took this issue. She didn't want it to start again. Then she decided that she must not be that girl. Harish never took that much interest in her. That girl must be someone else. She needed to accept it. She started working but her eyes were going towards Harish again and again. Then suddenly Kashi tapped her from behind. Kashi " Stop looking at him this way. He could sense it. This way you will put me in trouble." "Sorry." Smita was really tense now. She decided that she must talk with her husband. She couldn't just ignore it. She went out for few moment and called him. She told him every thing step by step. He started laughing. " Come on. Stop over reacting. This is not about you. Even that Kashi sensed it and Rita is not stupid. If she felt something doubtful, she will ask me. But you must help your Uncle. This Harish really seem to have some problem. They help you in your problem you must help them now." " You are right. If I don't do that then I will feel guilty for entire life." Her husband start laughing. She was angry now. " Stop laughing on me. This is not joke." " Come on. I am not laughing on you. I am laughing at thought of entry of your old boyfriend. Then I will act like jealous husband. You are watching too much TV." This time his joke was too funny. She started laughing too. On that time Harish suddenly came out. He gave her angry look. She was confused again. Her husband Sameer " What happened?" " Harish was looking at me with anger." "Strange." He kept quiet for some time. " I just feel you must stay away from him." " But you said I must do this job." " Do your job but stay away from him. Just act professional." " Okay." Smita disconnected phone after that. But she was tense throughout that day. She was glad that Rita didn't come on that day. She took breathe of relief when she finally started to her journey to go home. She just sensed one thing that some thing was terrifically wrong with Harish.
From that day Smita started to decide that she must not continue with her job. She was scared of Harish. She didn't like him any more. He was looking at her in strange anger which would look different on every step. She needed to enjoy her life but she was managing to get suffocated by this job. She decided that she didn't want that job. She turned to her husband. " I don't want to work anymore. But you have just started and you worked for one day!!" " SO!! Is it compulsory now." " My god!! First you made promise to that fellow before me. You said that he was great person. His son was nice person. Then you said that he might be interested in you. Now you are saying that you are scared of him. I just don't understand you. You are acting strange." She screamed loudly " I am acting strange!!" Rita came out running towards door and stopped. Rita sensed that her parents were fighting again. She never understood what was cause but she saw this every day. They just didn't stop fighting. She didn't like to see them screaming at each other like animals. She wanted to stop them. When she was small, once she complained about this to her grandmother. But matter just turned in worst way. Her grandmother tried to talk with her parents and they started blaming her for embarrassment. But they didn't stop fighting. They just continued in loud voice. She sensed one thing complaining didn't help her. She decided that she might learn to ignore their fights. But as she began to get older. She began to get more impatient with them. She just wanted to scream on them and wanted to tell them to shut up. Rita just kept thinking again and again why did they got married. But this time she was confused. She felt one question from her soul who was Harish. Rita began to feel doubt her Mom might be interested in this fellow. That might be cause of this mess. She was so upset now. Smita didn't even sensed that she managed to dig her grave. Rita was doubtful about her now. Smita was busy in feeling insulted with the way her husband talking to her. Smita " Fine. I will go back to work." When she went out for job , she was so angry that she decided that she would not care for any one from now except for her peace of mind. When she entered in shop Kashi immediately came to her. Kashi " Harish Sir had came early today." Kashi gave her sweet smile. Kashi was suggesting her that Harish had came early for her. She looked at Harish. He kept looking at mobile. But when she looked at him carefully, she sensed that he was watching her from corner of his eyes. No one could see it easily but she did. She started to feel scared. It was sin. She was mother of a girl. She should not act like that. She started to hate Harish with soul. She started looking at other side. Smita " Kashi we need to concentrate on our job. We must not feel concern about Boss." Kashi nodded. Smita started to avoid Harish from that day. But Harish kept following her. After some time Rita came there. She looked around. She didn't locate her Mom but she easily located man who was playing on mobile. She went near him. Rita " Hello do you know my Mom?" Harish " Who?" " Her name is Smita." He looked confused. He started looking around. He called one sales girl and told her to take Rita to Smita. She pointed out. Rita went near her Mom. She started looking at Mom. Smita was showing product. Customer seemed to be convinced. Then she told other person to pack. Then she turned to Rita. " Rita!! When did you come?" " Just few moment ago." " Okay." Then Smita showed her that shop. Rita kept looking around for Harish but soon she sensed that Harish was that man who didn't even recognized her Mom's name. It was so strange. Her Mom was claiming that man was in love with her and he didn't seem to know her. Rita " Mom Harish Uncle don't know you?" Smita gave confused smile. " You must not interfere in business of elders." Smita's smile told her that Smita thought. He was pretending. But Rita looked at Harish carefully. He was not looking at her. It was so wrong. She sensed one thing. This thing was not as simple as she thought. Her Mom was thinking that she had old boyfriend who was still after her. But her Mom didn't have any lover. It was so wrong situation. She couldn't even discuss this with her Dad. Rita just knew one thing that it was going to turn in totally wrong way in life. But Rita knew that she just had to watch. She couldn't suggest things to elders since they didn't listen to her. Rita just kept looking in things of shop. She avoided looking at Harish and her Mom. She didn't want to confuse her mind more. She just kept trying to sell things. She was shocked when she even managed to sell two things. Then she totally forgot about Harish. She just began to concentrate on selling and began to enjoy it. First time she felt as if she was doing something useful in her life. She didn't want to miss that chance. She just kept trying to sell things. Every one in shop kept admiring her for that skill. She kept getting more and more encouraged by it. She was so happy that she decided to create time table of day in which she decided when she would study and when she would sale. She didn't want to score less in examination. But during this she totally forgot about Smita and Harish.
Smita was happy about everything now a days. She liked working in that shop. At beginning she used to feel that it was wrong to keep feelings about Harish. But slowly she sensed that her husband hardly had time for her. He always kept coming her to other ladies. She just hated it. She felt one thing that she also had some one who cared for her. Kashi kept pointing to her every time when Harish looked at her. Then one day suddenly Harish vanished. Smita was so shocked when his Dad came to shop. Smita went to him." Where is Harish?" " Well I decided that I will take care of shop by myself." " But why?" " Since Harish wanted to stay in home." " But he used to like this shop. He started working here since he like it." " But not now. Now he wanted to just play game on mobile." "What?" " He was getting crazy after those mobile games. He is not acting normal now a days. Few days ago he just tried to kill himself for mobile." Smita was shocked. Kashi was standing behind her. Kashi " This is so strange." "I feel Harish's father is lying." " But why did he lie?" " Since he never wanted to me to marry his son. Now I have one daughter. He was clearly going to stand against it. But I will not quit this time." Kashi looked scared now. Kashi " Think twice before you act. It is possible that he was never looking at you." "What?" " Just think about it. He was just looking at mobile. But we assumed that he was giving excuse." Smita screamed on her " Stop lying. I will not stop now." Smita just went out of shop without thinking. She decided that she had enough. Now she wanted to express her thoughts. Now she wanted love of her life. She started moving ahead with confidence. She was thinking just about one thing that she wanted her love. She went to Harish's home. She rang bell. Harish opened door. He was clearly upset. Harish " Who are you? Go away Dad is not in home." He was just looking at mobile. He didn't even looked at her. Smita was so shocked. She couldn't believe it could happen with her. She left every thing behind for this man and this man didn't care for her. She started crying. She ran away. She called auto. She told address of her home. She was going there but she knew that she didn't have any right on it. She knew that she didn't have any authority over it now. She decided to leave her husband behind for Harish who didn't even remember her name. It was so crazy. She couldn't face her husband now. She just didn't understand where could she go now. She felt so hopeless. She just wished only if she had her parents alive. They were so right about Harish. He was just useless person who never wanted any responsibility. He never loved any one. She went inside her house. She wanted to kill herself. But then she saw those frames. Her daughter Rita needed her. She didn't want her to suffer. She was so confused. She just didn't understand what she supposed to do. Then suddenly her mobile rang. She saw that Harish's father was calling. She remembered once he used to act like her father. She just took his mobile. " Smita where are you? I need help with shop." She started crying but she didn't stop talking. She told him every thing in her own confused way. Harish's father " Can I advice you something?" " Yes Uncle." " Please visit counselor. Your every day fight are not helping you at all. You need to stop them." " Who told you about them?" " Well. Every one know about them. You have talked many times on mobile with husband. In fact many people feel you have fought with him." Smita was so shocked. She never understood when their relationship turned in such worst way. But she was sure about one thing. Her husband would not go. " He would not do that." " Then you can go alone. Come on. You don't want to become mad like Harish. He never goes to Doctor and he was turning in worst way." Smita was so scared. She didn't want to become strange person like Harish. " Give me the number." She took it. She decided that she must visit that psychiatrist. She kept it inside her purse. She was so scared but she just had to do it. It was important thing for her. She wanted to be normal. She began to plan how did she would visit him without getting caught by her husband. She slowly started to plan it. She began to create new route in her life.
That day Smita took one day off from shop but she didn't tell about it to her husband. She didn't tell anyone about this. She slowly entered inside hospital. Then she went to receptionist. She asked about Psychiatrist. Receptionist " He is here today. Do you want appointment?" She was confused. Receptionist asked loudly " Do you want appointment? I don't have entire day to waste on you." Smita nodded. She took her appointment number. Then she sat on chair waiting for long time. She began to sense one thing. She didn't know what she supposed to do tell Doctor. She was not hallucinating. She just misunderstood that's all. She didn't need of Doctor. She looked around. She decided that she was not mad. But then she remembered those fights she had with her husband. She couldn't survive like that in life. But she couldn't manage problem alone. Her husband was not cooperating. But Harish was looking at her. She was so sure about it. Then she suddenly began to feel that Harish might be lying. She felt that he might be convinced by his father to lie like that. He couldn't do suicide for mobile. It was totally wrong. She decided that she must call Harish again. She dialed her number. Harish took call. " Hello.." " Harish this is Smita. Your childhood love. Come one Harish. Please confess it. Then all this confusion would be over." " Who are you? Are you mad? I don't know any Smita and I know no one. " Then he disconnected mobile. Smita felt so hurt. She just started crying there loudly. She didn't able to control herself. Every one around her started looking at her with shock. Then receptionist came near her. She tried to console her. Smita tried to control herself. But she couldn't able to do much about tears. She was now crying in slow voice. Then Receptionist went inside. She came out with nurse who sat near Smita. She kept chatting with her. Smita was so upset but this attention was making her relaxed. Slowly patients were reduced. Finally her number came. She went inside. She started to tell every thing to her psychiatrist. Smita " So I have imagined all. No one loved me." " You are wrong there. Harish didn't love you but your husband did. He just couldn't able to express it. I feel you come from two different family backgrounds He just didn't understand your style. But he love you with his soul." " No. He just married me for his need of a wife who will take good care of his family. He never asked anything to me about my personal choices. He never understood my thinking . He just kept telling me. He want this and he want that. As if I am not human being, a machine which he brought for his house. Like Television, washing machine. He took proper care of me like people do maintenance of those things. This is not right way to act with person for whom you care." She started crying slowly. Psychiatrist " Stop crying. I feel you are too depressed with your disturbed marriage. Why don't you bring your husband too?" " No..No..he will call me mad." " Quit your ego. Let him help you. Try to tell him what you feel." Smita tried to call him. But he didn't have time so he disconnected call. Smita gave one sad smile. Smita " I hope now you understood what he was trying to tell you." Psychiatrist " Now relax. We can handle it as you want before without your husband's help." Then slowly Psychiatrist started to teach her how to relax and how did she supposed to handle those situation in which they started to fight so finally. She relaxed. She took those medicine which he told her to take if necessary. But she decided that she would concentrate on counseling more. She decided that she needed to use ways to avoid fights. From that day she started to avoid her fights. It helped her lot. Most importantly she started to work in shop again. But she no longer felt attracted to Harish at all. She just felt that he was lazy person. She was glad that she took treatment on time. She never wanted to become like him. Since he was coming with father but he was just burden on him.
The End
Smita started arranging every thing properly. It was her duty before her employer Harish enter in shop. She had to arrange all things properly. She needed to set shop in proper way.

She felt one question from her soul who was Harish. Rita began to feel doubt her Mom might be interested in this fellow. That might be cause of this mess. She was so upset now. Smita didn't even sensed that she managed to dig her grave. Rita was doubtful about her now. Smita was busy in feeling insulted with the way her husband talking to her. Smita " Fine. I will go back to work." When she went out for job , she was so angry that she decided that she would not care for any one from now except for her peace of mind. When she entered in shop Kashi immediately came to her. Kashi " Harish Sir had came early today." Kashi gave her sweet smile. Kashi was suggesting her that Harish had came early for her. She looked at Harish. He kept looking at mobile. But when she looked at him carefully, she sensed that he was watching her from corner of his eyes. No one could see it easily but she did. She started to feel scared. It was sin. She was mother of a girl. She should not act like that. She started to hate Harish with soul. She started looking at other side. Smita " Kashi we need to concentrate on our job. We must not feel concern about Boss." Kashi nodded. Smita started to avoid Harish from that day. But Harish kept following her. After some time Rita came there. She looked around. She didn't locate her Mom but she easily located man who was playing on mobile. She went near him. Rita " Hello do you know my Mom?" Harish " Who?" " Her name is Smita." He looked confused. He started looking around. He called one sales girl and told her to take Rita to Smita. She pointed out. Rita went near her Mom. She started looking at Mom. Smita was showing product. Customer seemed to be convinced. Then she told other person to pack. Then she turned to Rita. " Rita!! When did you come?" " Just few moment ago." " Okay." Then Smita showed her that shop. Rita kept looking around for Harish but soon she sensed that Harish was that man who didn't even recognized her Mom's name. It was so strange. Her Mom was claiming that man was in love with her and he didn't seem to know her. Rita " Mom Harish Uncle don't know you?" Smita gave confused smile. " You must not interfere in business of elders." Smita's smile told her that Smita thought. He was pretending. But Rita looked at Harish carefully. He was not looking at her. It was so wrong. She sensed one thing. This thing was not as simple as she thought. Her Mom was thinking that she had old boyfriend who was still after her. But her Mom didn't have any lover. It was so wrong situation. She couldn't even discuss this with her Dad. Rita just knew one thing that it was going to turn in totally wrong way in life. But Rita knew that she just had to watch. She couldn't suggest things to elders since they didn't listen to her. Rita just kept looking in things of shop. She avoided looking at Harish and her Mom. She didn't want to confuse her mind more. She just kept trying to sell things. She was shocked when she even managed to sell two things. Then she totally forgot about Harish. She just began to concentrate on selling and began to enjoy it. First time she felt as if she was doing something useful in her life. She didn't want to miss that chance. She just kept trying to sell things. Every one in shop kept admiring her for that skill. She kept getting more and more encouraged by it. She was so happy that she decided to create time table of day in which she decided when she would study and when she would sale. She didn't want to score less in examination. But during this she totally forgot about Smita and Harish.
Smita was happy about everything now a days. She liked working in that shop. At beginning she used to feel that it was wrong to keep feelings about Harish. But slowly she sensed that her husband hardly had time for her. He always kept coming her to other ladies. She just hated it. She felt one thing that she also had some one who cared for her. Kashi kept pointing to her every time when Harish looked at her. Then one day suddenly Harish vanished. Smita was so shocked when his Dad came to shop. Smita went to him." Where is Harish?" " Well I decided that I will take care of shop by myself." " But why?" " Since Harish wanted to stay in home." " But he used to like this shop. He started working here since he like it." " But not now. Now he wanted to just play game on mobile." "What?" " He was getting crazy after those mobile games. He is not acting normal now a days. Few days ago he just tried to kill himself for mobile." Smita was shocked. Kashi was standing behind her. Kashi " This is so strange." "I feel Harish's father is lying." " But why did he lie?" " Since he never wanted to me to marry his son. Now I have one daughter. He was clearly going to stand against it. But I will not quit this time." Kashi looked scared now. Kashi " Think twice before you act. It is possible that he was never looking at you." "What?" " Just think about it. He was just looking at mobile. But we assumed that he was giving excuse." Smita screamed on her " Stop lying. I will not stop now." Smita just went out of shop without thinking. She decided that she had enough. Now she wanted to express her thoughts. Now she wanted love of her life. She started moving ahead with confidence. She was thinking just about one thing that she wanted her love. She went to Harish's home. She rang bell. Harish opened door. He was clearly upset. Harish " Who are you? Go away Dad is not in home." He was just looking at mobile. He didn't even looked at her. Smita was so shocked. She couldn't believe it could happen with her. She left every thing behind for this man and this man didn't care for her. She started crying. She ran away. She called auto. She told address of her home. She was going there but she knew that she didn't have any right on it. She knew that she didn't have any authority over it now. She decided to leave her husband behind for Harish who didn't even remember her name. It was so crazy. She couldn't face her husband now. She just didn't understand where could she go now. She felt so hopeless. She just wished only if she had her parents alive. They were so right about Harish. He was just useless person who never wanted any responsibility. He never loved any one. She went inside her house. She wanted to kill herself. But then she saw those frames. Her daughter Rita needed her. She didn't want her to suffer. She was so confused. She just didn't understand what she supposed to do. Then suddenly her mobile rang. She saw that Harish's father was calling. She remembered once he used to act like her father. She just took his mobile. " Smita where are you? I need help with shop." She started crying but she didn't stop talking. She told him every thing in her own confused way. Harish's father " Can I advice you something?" " Yes Uncle." " Please visit counselor. Your every day fight are not helping you at all. You need to stop them." " Who told you about them?" " Well. Every one know about them. You have talked many times on mobile with husband. In fact many people feel you have fought with him." Smita was so shocked. She never understood when their relationship turned in such worst way. But she was sure about one thing. Her husband would not go. " He would not do that." " Then you can go alone. Come on. You don't want to become mad like Harish. He never goes to Doctor and he was turning in worst way." Smita was so scared. She didn't want to become strange person like Harish. " Give me the number." She took it. She decided that she must visit that psychiatrist. She kept it inside her purse. She was so scared but she just had to do it. It was important thing for her. She wanted to be normal. She began to plan how did she would visit him without getting caught by her husband. She slowly started to plan it. She began to create new route in her life.
That day Smita took one day off from shop but she didn't tell about it to her husband. She didn't tell anyone about this. She slowly entered inside hospital. Then she went to receptionist. She asked about Psychiatrist. Receptionist " He is here today. Do you want appointment?" She was confused. Receptionist asked loudly " Do you want appointment? I don't have entire day to waste on you." Smita nodded. She took her appointment number. Then she sat on chair waiting for long time. She began to sense one thing. She didn't know what she supposed to do tell Doctor. She was not hallucinating. She just misunderstood that's all. She didn't need of Doctor. She looked around. She decided that she was not mad. But then she remembered those fights she had with her husband. She couldn't survive like that in life. But she couldn't manage problem alone. Her husband was not cooperating. But Harish was looking at her. She was so sure about it. Then she suddenly began to feel that Harish might be lying. She felt that he might be convinced by his father to lie like that. He couldn't do suicide for mobile. It was totally wrong. She decided that she must call Harish again. She dialed her number. Harish took call. " Hello.." " Harish this is Smita. Your childhood love. Come one Harish. Please confess it. Then all this confusion would be over." " Who are you? Are you mad? I don't know any Smita and I know no one. " Then he disconnected mobile. Smita felt so hurt. She just started crying there loudly. She didn't able to control herself. Every one around her started looking at her with shock. Then receptionist came near her. She tried to console her. Smita tried to control herself. But she couldn't able to do much about tears. She was now crying in slow voice. Then Receptionist went inside. She came out with nurse who sat near Smita. She kept chatting with her. Smita was so upset but this attention was making her relaxed. Slowly patients were reduced. Finally her number came. She went inside. She started to tell every thing to her psychiatrist. Smita " So I have imagined all. No one loved me." " You are wrong there. Harish didn't love you but your husband did. He just couldn't able to express it. I feel you come from two different family backgrounds He just didn't understand your style. But he love you with his soul." " No. He just married me for his need of a wife who will take good care of his family. He never asked anything to me about my personal choices. He never understood my thinking . He just kept telling me. He want this and he want that. As if I am not human being, a machine which he brought for his house. Like Television, washing machine. He took proper care of me like people do maintenance of those things. This is not right way to act with person for whom you care." She started crying slowly. Psychiatrist " Stop crying. I feel you are too depressed with your disturbed marriage. Why don't you bring your husband too?" " No..No..he will call me mad." " Quit your ego. Let him help you. Try to tell him what you feel." Smita tried to call him. But he didn't have time so he disconnected call. Smita gave one sad smile. Smita " I hope now you understood what he was trying to tell you." Psychiatrist " Now relax. We can handle it as you want before without your husband's help." Then slowly Psychiatrist started to teach her how to relax and how did she supposed to handle those situation in which they started to fight so finally. She relaxed. She took those medicine which he told her to take if necessary. But she decided that she would concentrate on counseling more. She decided that she needed to use ways to avoid fights. From that day she started to avoid her fights. It helped her lot. Most importantly she started to work in shop again. But she no longer felt attracted to Harish at all. She just felt that he was lazy person. She was glad that she took treatment on time. She never wanted to become like him. Since he was coming with father but he was just burden on him.
The End
