SAMAIRA'S THERAPY - ( USHMA)

" So ushma! Tell me something about you? "

Samaira asked to ushma, who is sitting in front of him in her restaurant atyare. And they were in the middle of a very busy road, and people and cars were all around them, and it was all in Ushma's vision, we couldn't see their faces, just their lower parts. And they all were passing them like they weren't there. And they both can't hear the noises they made, and it was well quiet for them. Samaira was in her usual business atyer and same comfy couch. And ushama was situated in a normal plastic chair.

.

" Ushma! ,, ushma! Didn't you hear me ? " She asked her.

" Hn! Sorry, I was,,, just. "

" No need to explain, just answer the question," Samaira said, looking emotionless like a usuall doctor.

" My name is Ushma Segal, and I'm a normal girl. I like to , I like to read and do maths. In the morning I went for a maths class, in the hope that I'll get a chance In government job, and my grades are above average. I don't have any hobbies, but I used to sing some times, and people used to say that I was really good at it. People said I was different from the beginning. I didn't like anything around me, I was a curious girl. Always try to learn things , always question the norms ,and whenever I ask questions they get annoyed, and complain about this to the father ,and he didn't like this . " Ushma said, and paused for a moment.

" What's your job? " Usmha asked .

" I worked in two different food courts in two different areas, In two shifts. First was for a pizza joint, as a cashier and cleaner, and the second one was for waitresses only, but I usually do all kinds of work at the end of the day. It was quite tiering . " Ushma said with a tired look.

" What was your childhood? " She asked

" I don't remember. " She said with a drowned head.

" You can tell me ushma, let it go. Feel relief." Samaira said, knowing the situation fully.

" It was! not that bad, if you may ask. I was ignorant at first. I didn't realize that I was getting left out till the day when they forgot me in the clothing store. We went there to buy a new dress for my sister's birthday, and I didn't blame them for leaving there , they had told me to stay away for a bit, and I in my mind just went for a search, to find the best dress for my sister, and forgot to notice the time. They left me like I was never there. "

" What about school? " Samaira asked.

" School was quite normal, no one made fun of me, everyone was fine, teachers were good, they had their own world to leave, and didn't bother me much, heck they even sometimes eat with me too, but I didn't remember any of their names or phone numbers. So it was quite usual. But due to my questionable personality and devolved body. People were not very fond of me. "

" What do you mean by that? " Samaira asked while the traffic was going nuts.

" I developed my figure much earlier than other girls in my classes, and I have a bone to learn new and difficult things to learn. I end up with some higher school classes, and that's how I end up like this. " And she motions to her body.

" End up like this ? " Samaira asked.

" What do you mean? "

" I don't have any female friends in my high school, most of the people I used to talk were male, and I became popular in school for all bad reasons.they started calling me whore, and a slut because I hung out with upper class boys, and all those bad words to taunt me. And for most of the part, I wish I wasn't there. And my father didn't . "

" What about college. " Samaira asked.

" The colleges were different altogether. I grew up taller than any girl in my college and the area around. Due to my skin and figure, getting a boyfriend was not difficult for me. And that was the time when I started working so I had no friends either. And in the workplace, the staff has their own circle of friends . And my antisocialness also didn't help that much.

…

My growing height and body just made my case worse . I don't know why, but my sister didn't like me. She always looks at me with a glare, and always tries to insult me, mock me. I don't know why though."

" What about your little injuries? " She asked.

" Those on your face and arms. '' She said pointing at them.

" I-i " ..

" You can answer it later, '' Samaira said, seeing her emotion.

" Thank you, " Ushma said.

" Why did he beat you? " She asked ushma.

" Cause I'm a burden " She said, lowering her head, remembering something.

" And why are you a ' burden ' . " She asked sarcastically.

" Did he need a reason for that ? " She asked, looking at her.

" I'm the one asking questions. So tell, ``she said in a serious tone . And Ushma looked at her.

" No one's gonna marry me, I'll be stuck in their necks like a bone. And my presence is just gonna make things worse. They told me that if the other side knows that I'm her elder sister, things will get complicated . And I don't know what ? " She kept looking down.

" Did they say that on your face? " She asked.

And she nodded in yes.

" When did your father first hit you? " Samaira asked.

" The first time he called me a burden. "

" Why? " Samaira asked.

" Why did he call you a burden?

And she didn't reply.

" Ushma, when did you lose your smile? "

And she replied.

" When dad beat me with his belt. "

A long pause.

" Why didn't you look at my face once? " She asked . Looking like an authority figure.

" I-I don't know. " Ushma said .

" Why don't you smile? "

" I do! " And Samaira looked pensive, and rephrased her words.

" Why do you think your smile costs you ? " And she didn't answer it for a while, and when she did, she did in a small voice.

" I, I,,,,,,, I " And she got quiet.

" It's,,,, it's because of me. " She lied. And Samaira saw the inner turmoil on her down face. And seeing this, she asked a question.

" Where are we? " Samaira asked with a blank look.

" In your office. " Ushma said. And samaira stood up and forced her face to look at hee. And she was normal. Normal like her everyday self . And then suddenly all around her became noisy and now she realized that they were in the middle of the road. And she started panicking a little.

" Where? How? Me no? Where am I? Who are you? What is happening? " Ushma said, while feeling Everybodies stairs on her.

And she starts burning, slowly, then fire starts erupting from her skin, and it burns till nothing's left. And Only remains were ashes, and that chair unharmed by the flames . And people just walk over it. And samaira watched this whole incident, not giving any emotions, she was stiff and blank.

And lights around her flicker and every single light there starts to shut. And soon there was a signal light, only focusing on samaira.
