Chapter 3 - Chapter: Killing dreams

Why do you think, I am working so hard these days saying Meme to his secretary Kali. Kali is from Asia, an orphan, dark as the night itself. She began arguments about extra working hours that is given by Meme, her boss. She received the notice at first day of the week. New schedules for everyone. Small company of food delivery service. They only accept food delivery service in package order. Three types of meals breakfast, lunch and dinner they provide to their customers of every class depending on their per day earrings, they can be a member of the company, after doing so, they will get their foods. It should be always on time the main motto of the company. Their foods are not that much exotic to get pleasure for lifetimes but it's for reducing daily burdens of any household life. Their boss doesn't like to make his own problem by wasting too much time on making expensive food items, he think it's the duty of restaurants or the customers personal choice to indulge themselves.

Furthermore, their company is a sole business. Everything of the company based on their boss's ability of willing to provide. Boss is a very adventurous person, he loves to do gardening, fishing in his own pond sometimes or nearby lakes of the park, likes to do mountain climbing by walks that's also in his neighbourhood, only one vehicle in his lifetime he ever bought that was his orange red two wheelers mountain bike though he could afford to buy a car but he loves mother nature too much and it even seems to him unnecessary. When his secretary learnt her boss is that much adventurous from then she was trying to find a job elsewhere because his utmost ambition is having his very own greenhouse garden that would be in an apartment building that he could not afford to do yet. It needs new land to build, his land is too small for a big greenhouse apartment building. He wants to plant all the herbs, nuts, fruits, vegetables, flowers and if he can, he would try tea and coffee plantation in an apartment, he is hoping to try even bonsai for large fruit trees. His dreams about plantation is very different from others. She doesn't mind about those things, she only thinking about rescuing herself from him. Only five of them running the business including the boss. Local food delivery service home or office doesn't matter, be the member, pay in advance or daily or on credit and eat. If any problems occurred then call the office and return the spoil food immediately, later it would not be accepted. Simple business, simple cooking and same old systematic work every day making Kali's life miserable and intolerable. Her boss, on the other hand living like an only swan in the lake swimming in every direction he wants but without leaving his area. Sometimes, she think of him as a man of a certain goal whenever she thinks like that then he goes in another directions.

Kali isn't came that day, her boss is worried about her, why doesn't she came? She didn't take any day off or send any messages on his phone about it. Then why? He is searching for her home address to send one of his employee to check her out, as he remembered that she is living in an orphanage where she is their rental guest, she ot that opportunity because she is an orphan too or else they don't like to serve as a local hotel.

He still could remember that day when she came to him for a job, she saw the advertisement on local job messages of her mobile. He recruited her on her determination. He needed someone who works for him without any excuses. She needed a job for money and that is what he needed in his employee. If she could not work then he could recruit another, it was not a problem for him, still it is not. He did realise that she needs a lover to secure her lonely life with happiness. He is a loner himself but it is a choice, none of those woman made out a man from him who needs a woman like any one of them. He was a hardworking man from his early age, he studied on botany and learnt cooking from his family. His mother was not good on cooking, everyday she had to suffer a lot about making everyday food for them. He and his father spent their life on boiled eggs, vegetables and meats, sometimes they ate frys with different kinds of sauces or chillies or herbs. Making curry was not her cup of tea. It was not that bad but they were more comfortable with fried and boiled foods. And they all had their own life so, nothing to be worried about. Both of his parents died normally because of age, first father then mother, only took a year to die. He didn't understand that both of his parents were so much in love with each other that not going to live their life without each other. When they both died in a year then he understood the friendship, bonding between them, companionship and that sacred love which still he hasn't felt. His mother was a housewife and father was a teacher of the kindergarten school and Meme was their only child. His parents probably didn't take a child more than him because they couldn't afford it. After he earned his master degree on botany, he was jobless and enjoying his freedom from slavery of study life when both of his parents died one after another, they were in connubial blissful confinement for their lifetime that ended with conjugal bed such laid in death.

Afterwards, he tried this local food supply business, serving people his own cooked meals and letting them feel more comfortable in their life, was and is, only reason behind all these hardships. It is his own localities, everyone is his own friends and known people, once in a while he has to handle a foreign stranger, later on they were also became his known person. He buried all his dreams in his parents graveyard when he had to keep himself unbroken. He never mentioned to his father or mother what was his ambition or aim or dream about or what he wanted from his life but he never thought about losing both of them at the same year. Those unexpected melancholy incidents made him a man as today. This orphan girl, Kali is a girl with lots of ambitious plans and ideas of life that she has never even seen before. He knew all about those ideas from her loud voice during lunch break. She is the owner of a loud voice that he is hoping someday it might be lower to soothe his ears. He understood that she wants to pursue her ambition and work somewhere else, so he contacted his friend who lives abroad. He knows him from his student life, free air far from abroad can make her life more happier and she is growing up, needs a man of her dreams and he or his friend are not the best one who can even think about a girl like her to wet their trees with water. She didn't study that much but wanting to become an activist of some sort which he thinks unnecessary because society has more than enough people who are opening their eyes every day to the new world and wanting to become the rarest person of the world that ever been seen by anyone then later on compromised to their reality dramatic life. So, many people killing their dreams, burying them every second, every minute and everyday that she is not even in counts because others have more than her but still being compromised or going to be compromised. Atleast, what he can do is send her to his friend who lives outside his small rural town, so she could enjoy her youthful life with people who are living their energetically adventurous ambitions with spontaneous relationships. But on the contrary, where is she? He send his boy to the orphan they said she didn't come to orphanage the last night, the orphanage thought she might be with them. Meme then become worried about her, he talks to the police about her missing and send his boys to look around for her. Then from the local police they get information about her dead body. They found it on the street dead last midnight when they examines the dead body, she overdosed herself with her medications and probably accidentally killed herself with two months pregnant baby on board. The hospital declares it is an accidental incident nothing to be accused as a suicidal case or murder. Meme then requests the police to find out who prescribe those medications to Kali. It happened to see that it was prescribed by none then from where did she found out about that medications because the doctor said it was not from here, that medicine was from the city.

The death of Kali stayed unresolved. The doctor claimed that the medicine was trade at the cheap price in the lower street market as a birth control pill. It was newly released drugs that got highly popular within a week on to the street vendors as a best selling medicines that had no side effects because it was herbal. Later on, the side effects started to show, people who bought the medication not everyone died simultaneously but they had different types of situations to face. Some lost the abilities to take a child, some died within few days, some had to go through miscarriages later, all situations were dependents on the consumption rate of the clients of the medicine. She was taken it several times within two days that's why it killed her. Doctor said it could be more worsen but her body chose to die. Her death on the street made the local hospital and pharmacies alert subsequently it was the latest talk of the town, a great juicy news for the journalist as a new phenomenon to write about, later on the seriousness of the situation went through the government officials to make the police seized the medicine at once on the very sight of it, arrest those whoever was selling the medicine and do all the necessary work they needed to complete the investigation.

Meanwhile, Meme was too upset by the thought that she had a boyfriend at that early age, only 14 years old, too early for a young flower to withered, she was having an affair with someone without informing anyone of them, that was the main heartbreaking moment for him, she was like a little kid to them. When he knew everything about the medicine, he and his friends helped their best to ease the investigation but no one had any idea or news who was her lover. Even after controlling the whole situation, Meme can not think otherwise besides thinking its an illness of a mind of that person whoever gave that medication of birth control on the first place from street vendors, how could he take that kind of a risk with a child like her, can anyone answer that? What kind of a man do that to a young girl he fell in love with? If he is not suffering from any psychological disorders or diseases of any kind then what was it? Only if Kali could said Meme about her lover then she might be alive by now. Every dreams of her, getting married with a charming young man, having lots of kids in her own house, living in urbanization, doing adventures, enjoying the life at her fullest, working as an activist all of her dreams are buried with her in the bottom of the graveyard and Meme even couldn't give her the surprise that he made arrangements for her dreams before her death. His anguish over the reality of the situation, no one could've guessed, some people thought it was him who did that to her for hiding the shame of his unconscious behaviour which made him lost his control. All of his reputations are in the air of the town floating like a rumour but it doesn't affected him a bit because he knows that he was a good guy and so was she.
