mobile ringing… reject the call n calls back… ring going…
mom(voice1) : how r u son ??
son (voice2): m fine as usual, just staying with friends… how r everyone ???
mom: everythg fine, u aren’t finally coming in dashain…, what’s wrong with ur voice ??
voice2: nthg, just might b throat infection… (a small pause) will try to come in diwali if not then November last week…
voice1: i know u might haven’t taken medicine, when will u change, son… atleast sometime take medicine n take care of urslf…, just called to say u somethg… dad is thinking to buy a bike…, if u save some money we could buy a bike. N if possible send a mobile for ur bro, he’s shouting so much for a new mobile for himself since dad carries another mobile, n he needs a new one…
Voice2: m taking care of myslf, its just normal… i have lots of pain this is minor, don’t worry.. i’ll b fine… I had told u before only, lets buy a bike, but dad never listened to me… anyway not a big problem, give me sometime, just recently I had send u so much money, so I need some time.., abt mobile, i’ll send it on diwali. Until then tell him to wait…
Voice1: we miss u a lot son, in dashara… everyone asking, “when ur son is coming”… (interrupted in middle)
Voice 2: might b u don’t realize that I miss u mom n dad very much but I really haven’t told u ever… might b u never understood me, or might b I never understood you people… dad never had time for me n u never said anythg, despite just complaining dad abt me for my studies n he treated me like a prisoner as if I was never his son… which killed all my feelings towards you people. I know I shouldn’t have told u all these, but 1day I had to tell u. Why I run away from u people, don’t stay at home. Even on holidays I used to prefer going office, I never stayed at home on festival, have u ever noticed me laughing or a smile on my face… do u ever know any of my friend, with whom I talk to… I never made friends n never had also, just scared that my dad didn’t like… always at home n obey dads routine… Its all the fear which is still inside me n that fear created a long gap between you n me… you people never tried to know abt my feelings (might b i never told u)… I have already killed myslf frm inside, i was always wanting to run away far frm u people, but still today I love u both very much… I don’t blame you people… might b being the eldest you have expectation frm me, but sorry mom n dad I m not able to fulfill your desire n expectations… please forgive me if u can…
Voice1: y do u talk like this?? it really hurts me… I know, i can understand ur feelings… how can I b happy n enjoy here when u r sad… yet nthg late has it become…
Voice2: what late n early mom, how could u just keep watching n never stopped dad while he treated me like a prisoner for each time of my mistake. But i know, u were also scared of his nature n anger… I know he’s a good cop, but atleast he should know the difference between a prisoner n his son… might b that fear made a long gap between u n ur son…
oh ya, mom m not sad… just the environment n the time made me changed n totally different from other people… u always get confused, n ask me also, y m i so different?… not only u mom, everyone find me different, stony, crazy, physco etc n given me with many names… I don’t want anythg from you people…. just want to cry loudly once, only once on ur lap very much… see tears also start falling... m with friends n they r asking me y m crying..?? they don’t understand nepali… don’t worry mom, u just don’t spoil your festival, enjoy n have fun. Until m alive I’ll try my best to fulfill you people’s desire n expectations. I will never give up. I have learnt that frm dad, not to give up in life n never depend on others…
Voice1: we are sorry son… ur dad is like that only… he knows his duty n then his family member… might b he’s a good cop but he always wanted you to be a good son… he hadn’t expected the way he treated u would let u to b like this, never wanted u to b like this. U never ask anythg in life, never speak to us, u never talked with us…
Voice1: hey mom, don’t b sorry… m still ur son, it ok. Just the fear made me like this n a gap between u n me, n might b from everyone. I wish just once my parents would ever ask me, but anyway its too late now. The tears when sometime wants to roll, I go to bathroom to cry loud, but so unlucky sometime tears also don’t come out… People ask me why I stay alone, no talk with people, no friends n all.. but I have one reply “I love being lonely”…
silence for some time…
Voice2: r u there son, now u can change urslf, u r far frm us, u can do whatever you want… we won’t interfere in ur life., just can’t b happy seeing u sad..
Voice1: no mom, m not sad… it doesn’t mean that if m far then can do whatever i like, i know my limits mom… m proud of my parents, but m sad just that I m not able to fulfill your expectation being a son as u people might have expected from me.. You people might have seen lot of dreams frm me, but m so helpless n hopeless… anyway u don’t worry, I’ll try to earn more n more money n will try making u people happy.
Voice2: son, u marry soon, everythg will b fine…
Voice1: no moms, marriage is not the only solution, my life already ruined up, I can never enjoy myslf n I don’t want to spoil other’s life too, just spending rest of her life being sad with me… Ya but I promise you the day I get my kind of girl, who can face my anger n listen to me, I’ll let u know…
Voice2: we are waiting… whenever u want to come home, u come, we’ ll never force you for anything.
Voice1: I don’t want fabour from you mom,… it doesn’t meant that I told u all these things n u’ll say that u people want force me for anythg, m ur son n u have full rights over me. So b happy always, don’t worry abt me. I don’t want to change myslf now… if any other thing just do let me know, m always for u…
Voice2: ok mine puja time now.. m going, u take care of urslf n enjoy with friends…n keep calling us also… take care of yourslf…
Voice1: oks… u people also take care n enjoy dashara happily.
