The line was I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU... It doesn’t sound much when we hear this. But this single line had made him to behave very strange. He says, “When I read this line in her letter I dint see her lying dead in front of me. She was standing in front of me, asking me “what happened in college my son. Has your paper been selected in conference?” I said yes and hugged her. She was really happy. I laughed and said my mom, “See these fools mom, they are thinking that you are dead and crying here. Tell them that you are alive and ask them to go out. They are irritating me.”
He stops here and says, “Honourable chief guest, Please I want my mother on this stage to share this happiness with me now. I want to introduce her to all”. Chief Guest was shocked and gazed at him. He laughs and says, “Sir, the one who is sitting behind your seat is my mom”. Everyone turned towards the seat and finds it EMPTY.
Not only the chief guest but the entire hall was utterly shocked. They were dumbstruck. They were really confused. He smiles at everyone and says, “This is my lovable mom. She came out from death all the way to make me happy. Do any one of you have such a mother? (He pretends as if he is hugging his mom and fall at her feet) “.
Chief Guest informs about his strange behaviour to the security cops and asks them to take him away and make him have a medical check-up. He was forcefully arrested and cleared from the stage. He was asked to attend counselling. Within a fraction of seconds, everything changed. The stage which made him feel proud and gave him the best presentation award in the midst of students from different part of the world who presented their paper was filled with our hero’s papers shattered all over the floor. The hall in which lot of new innovations and knowledge was blooming out was filled with strange feel.
He was sitting in front of a psychiatrist. He asked him some questions about him. He answered all with a polite smile in his face. After some time doctor asked him some questions about his education, college and other details. He answered everything without any strange behaviour. Doctor was really confused. He then asked a question about his family members. His face changed a lot. His speech had a different tone. Doctor was able to find his problem when he did actions as if his mother was standing with him. He cried to his mom, “Mummy please let us go out of this place. These people are not good. They are threatening me. They are saying that you are dead. Please tell him that you are alive. You said that you are always with me. But this idiotic guy is telling that you cannot stay with me. (His voice rises… He shouts at the doctor) you are talking nonsense see my mom, she is standing beside me. Can’t you see her? Can’t you see her?????? (He faints).
He was admitted in hospital as he was confirmed to have mental problem. His problem is that his heart and mind is not ready to accept that his mom is dead.
My question is, “Is he really mentally affected by his mother’s death?”
When you are far away from all your friends and family and when you are in distress you tell it to your loved ones. What would they say.....? They would really say this..." god is always with you...don’t worry...” and if u tell more they would definitely say...” hey I am there with you always. Why worrying...?” We console ourselves thinking imagining that god and our loved ones are being with us and many would say that is the most practical n intelligent thing to do when we are in most distressed state. But why are we telling it as insane when our hero does the same in our story...? It is right if we do it with conscience but wrong if sum one imagines it without their conscience though both the intention is one and the same. Funny world..!!! This is our people’s MANANALAM…
