She said that she has been very sick of late.
" The
climate is not suiting me aye! It looks like a conspiracy by the
Weather Gods to foully affect my already delicate constitution! My blood pressure
varies between 200 - 44, yet I tend to all the duties given to me. But
look at you all! Instead of nursing me back to my health, you are
questioning the very nature of my
sickness! You mean to say I am a fake? A fraud! Acting sick? Yes I did
have Drama as one of my subjects in the school where I studied, but I
never believe in doing or appreciating any cheap drama! Anyways the main
thing is that you all are insolent scums, ungrateful beings! After the
Revolution of Evolution that I have brought over in your lives, you
should be obliged for life and say 'Yes' to whatever I say! Theek hai!"
We
hung our heads in shame. We did not know what to ask now, or whether to
ask anything anymore. We did not know what to believe and whom to
believe. Certainly we did not want to believe in the doubts that were
slowly creeping into our heads. Is she lying or is she not? No we can't
even let that question come into our retarded minds! After all she says
that she cares about us, only her way of showing concern is little
different and way too genius for our uncultured minds to understand!
Suddenly
from somewhere a shaky voice asks, "But Madame, it is we who are sick,
don't have job or money to pay for our treatment, literally dying!"
"Oh
your sickness! It is such a trivial issue! Out of sheer laziness!
Listen to classical music and keep on doing some hard work and you will
be fine! Now don't you bother me anymore. Let me go to the garden and
paint some tree.."
And thus the Madame spake....
