         Swati"Actually I wanted to meet you all.I know since I have not meet you for many days.It is not fair but what did I suppose to do.I was so busy when I came here.I was in London.I think I have phoned you."Yes of course she had phoned her.Rita would not forget that phone also in which she just kept repeating how much she would miss them.But after going there she was busy that she didn't got time even to talk with her on chat or email.Such a strange person.Until now she never showed any interest and now she was showing off as if she was her best friend who cared for her from heart.Rita was so confused but she had to pretend so she spoke as sweetly as possible.Rita"Hello Swati how are you?""Actually I am planning to one get together after all when I have come in India every one must be meet me.I am going to plan something."Rita really didn't like this idea.Why did Swati want this nonsense of get together?Rita just didn't want it.Then suddenly next question came inside Rita's mind who would spend money.She was sure that Swati didn't spend that much money.She smiled happily at herself and changed subject.She began to ask about her children.Swati kept boosting about each and every thing so she was happy and they were so sure that she would be still same that other friends kept accepting her on each occasion but from heart.Rita was so upset because she just didn't like it inside life.She didn't want to talk about life to Swati so she started discussing it.After some moment she felt that she could not have keep chatting with Swati because Swati was just talking one sided.She didn't care about Rita's thought and life.At one point Rita thought that it was great but on another point she was bored by this conversation.Finally after sometime Rita gave some excuse and disconnected phone.After talking to Swati Rita was just sure of one thing that she didn't want to meet her so she decided to avoid anything planned by friends.She had started finding excuses inside her thought and her brain.When she felt that she could handle it,she went inside kitchen to cook her food.Her mother was inside kitchen.When she told her about Swati,she looked upset.Her mother"I just don't get it.Why did you care about her?Let her do as she wish ignore her.""But Mom she is irritating and I don't want to meet her.""Now don't worry.May be it will not happen?""And if it happened then?""It will be for few hours.You can manage."Rita was so upset.She started showing her anger on every pot and pan which tolerated it with patience just like Mom because they knew what she was going to suffer.A whole evening of nuisance was not that easy for Rita.Swati was never good with her now a days.That past friend of Rita was vanished from thoughts of Swati.
         For some days Rita was relieved when Swati didn't invited her but after some time suddenly she had one phone from her another friend Charu who was always considered to be most emotional in college.Charu always seemed to get convinced by each and every emotional chat.She seemed to think that she should consider every person would like most needy and help that person.She was convinced on that day that there whole college should come together to treat Swati which was ridiculous in eyes of Rita.Charu" We must treat her.""But why should we give that treat try to understand..""I have convince every one and amount is limited."Then Rita tried to convince Charu about it for hours.But Charu was already brainwashed by Swati so everything turned into useless and then after some days Charu decided that they should share money with Swati and gave that party.Rita didn't want to but she was forced to do it.Whole time Rita was trying to convinced Charu still she felt that Charu was not convinced.While finally one day Charu phoned her and apologized because she had arranged party on her behalf.Rita was so upset but she had to agree so she nodded.Then for many days Rita just kept complaining to her Mom about Charu and Swati until finally that miserable day came.Rita had to get ready so she got ready in her best clothes.She hoped that Charu had not invited whole families because she didn't want to waste that much money for Swati.But when she went inside that hotel,she was shocked to see that party was totally different that she expected.Many guests were invited and they were serving hot drinks.Rita never liked hot drinks.She was against it.She knew that most of her friends drank them.But she didn't want to tolerate those nonsense which happened after excess drinking but she knew that everyone had their right of choice so she gave forced smile.But one thing she didn't like most was her money was wasted on those drinks.Rita searched for Charu and found her.She was already drinking.Rita"Did you order those drinks?""Of course not.Swati sponsored them.I just ordered food."Rita was so shocked.When she turned around,she was so upset because every one was drinking.Then she saw small group of women who were drinking fruit juices.She was about to join them when she felt tap on her shoulder.
        Swati was standing behind her.She was so shocked to see Swati.She was looking so different and so strange.She had dyed her hairs in strange red colours.Her dress was so different.It was showing all those aspects of her body which were suppose to be hidden by clothes.It was not mini.But still it was something wrong.It's material was too much.Swati's make up was also too bright.But still she was looking good in all.It seemed as if she abroad suited her.Then Rita thought that Swati might be dressing the way woman dressed there.Rita hardly went there so how could she suppose to know.Rita"How are you?""Perfect.Every thing is so great here.I have ordered drinks.I hope you don't mind.Are you still against drinking?""Yes.""Ohh I am so sorry.""No..No..That is fine.After all it is your party so you can always enjoy it.I don't want to trouble any one."Then Suddenly some one called Swati and she went away.Rita noticed one thing that something was not right with Swati.She noticed after some time that Swati was surrounded just by men.In fact she was flirting with all those men.Her gestures seemed so wrong.When she turned around,she saw that their wives and Swati's true college friends were upset by this.She felt every thing was wrong.Then her another friend who was drinking juice with Rita spoke"You are looking at them.None of them seemed to care for wife.You are lucky that you are not married or you have to tolerate this."It was Ishita whose husband stood most near to Swati.Ishita was on verge of crying.Ishita"Bringing my husband hear was my mistake.I should have guessed.""I don't get it.Do you mean they know each other?""Not at all.They met just on party.But my husband is not in my control any more.He just wanted to dance with her."Another friend"Not just your husband all men are looking at her.Look at my husband."Ishita"But he is standing far away."Then all other women joined that discussion.All friends were upset by this.Even those friends whose husbands were stood with them were upset because it all looked so wrong."I just didn't understand why did we gave this party?"Charu was already so drunk that no one could ask her.Rita was so horrified by this that she decided that she didn't want to remain there so she started going out.When she heard a loud argument Ishita was screaming on Swati.Rita once again turned back when she returned.She noticed that Ishita slapped Swati.Rita was so confused that she turned to go back.When she noticed one man came inside running.He was about to dump Rita in his hurry.Then she noticed that this man began to join the fight.
       He was Swati's husband but he was not defending Swati in fact he was abusing her.He was telling her that he hoped that she would change her ways when she returned to India.But she was not changed.Rita was so shocked by this drama that she just stood there like statue.Then most worst thing happened suddenly Swati took hold of her hand and told her"I am coming with you.You are my only friend."She felt so worst then she had to take Swati with her.She hoped that Charu would help her in some way.But Charu was too drunk to do anything which would make sense so Rita had to take Swati with her.Rita looked once with hope at her husband but he was already sitting in his car and driving away.Then finally they went in Rita's home.Rita's Mom was waiting outside for her since Rita had already informed her about this.Rita's Mom had convinced her father that Swati was coming to stay just for an overnight.Her father didn't like it but forced to agree because they couldn't throw Swati away.Rita smiled with relief when she understood from her mother that her father was sleeping.Then they took Swati inside.Rita slowly told her Mom everything inside kitchen while Swati was sitting outside.Swati was crying loud voice.They felt that they were lucky enough that Rita's father were not waking up.Mom"Rita but she is acting wrong.She had to change her ways.""Ya.Let's talk to her."Then they slowly started talking.Swati"I just don't understand.I had to act that way or no one would pay attention to me.My mother always use to say that I will be special only if I act smart or I will remain useless.I want to become something special or people will ignore me.They will treat me like dust.My husband don't understand it.He don't even have time for me.""But he is working for you and your future.""No.He never cared.I just want to win in life my way.."After saying this she just left their house.They tried to stop her but she didn't listen to them.Rita's mom turned to her and said"I am sure something is wrong with her." For many days Swati didn't contacted her.Charu apologized for her drinking too much and not being helpful on that day.As days went ahead they almost forgot about Swati.Until one day they were so shocked to see an argument,they saw that a couple was screaming on Swati.When Rita came there and asked them"What is wrong?"They told her that Swati was making inappropriate gestures towards that man.Rita apologized to them and took Swati with her.Rita "What are you doing Swati?Don;t you understand by this behavior you are disgracing yourself?""Come on.It was nothing.""Nothing??My god are you out of your mind if you made such gesture to wrong person he could do anything to you.""I just don't care."Then Swati suddenly started crying.Swati"I just don't understand my whole life is messed.My husband is always suspicious about me and my every friend is standing against me."Then she started crying more loudly.Finally Swati told her that she was staying at parent's house and her husband had deserted her.Inside her heart Rita couldn't blame that man for doing this.She asked Swati"Did you consider of going to psychiatrist?"Swati looked at her as if Rita suggesting her to go to Mars But then she suddenly asked her"Is he handsome?""Who?""Psychiatrist."Rita was so shocked and at same time she was so sure that she needed to take her friend to one.Rita decided that she might lie.Rita"Actually we can search for one."Then they both sat for some time and finally Rita able to get rid of Swati when Swati's mom called her back immediately.
        After some days she was so shocked when Swati told her that she found a handsome psychiatrist and they should go to him.At first Rita avoided but then one day Swati just kept standing outside her house.Rita finally had to go with her.Rita"Why don't you go alone?""Because a book told me that you should not go alone because it seem so obvious.Why do you think?I mean you are not going to try."Rita was so shocked but she absorbed it and said"Not at all." because she just wanted to get rid of this.Finally they went there.On whole way Swati was planning how to win heart of that psychiatrist.When they went there,they had to wait.Whole time Swati was giving touches after touches to her makeup.Finally they were called as soon as they went inside Swati started making wrong gestures to that young Doctor but he just smiled and suggested Swati to sit.Then he told Rita to sit outside which was just on other side on glass from there Rita couldn't hear them.But she could clearly saw that Swati was trying her best to flirt with that psychiatrist who was handling it with excellent clam.Finally Rita was called inside and suggested Swati to sit outside.Psychiatrist"Your friend is suffering from Histrionic Personality Disorder that's why she is acting this way.In side her heart she felt that she was nothing so she wanted to attract attention.She was doing it with wrong way.""But why did it happen?""It could be genetic or it could be due to wrong parenting.I can't tell you all because it was all her personal matter.But don't worry she could be cured and she would be fine.I will help and you did best by bringing her.""I don't bring her.She came here because you are handsome."Psychiatrist started laughing and Rita was relaxed by it.Slowly she also joined him.First time that day she breathed without tension.She felt so relaxed that she began to feel sure that her friend was in best hand.That psychiatrist was perfect and he could cure her.
