Adventure story 206. Sorrows

                                      Sorrows
Jasmin was so happy to get things as per her choice. She wanted just to go on vacation and she got it. She was so sure that she was going to enjoy it. But then she looked at those plans. She wanted to travel with train but this trip had bus traveling. She knew that she would not enjoy it. She always preferred train but she wanted to watch those caves so she agreed. Then she felt she could adjust with bus also. She was waiting for her friends. They had large group of ten. In fact it was perfect traveling for them. They all decided that they wanted to travel with bus and she decided to agree with them. Since they wanted to use bus, she had to agree with them. But when she saw that bus, she suddenly began to feel that it was wrong choice. She decided that bus was not good for her. But then her friends started calling her, she knew that she couldn't say 'no' to them. She just smiled and went inside it. She sensed just one thing that whole world in that bus was so small. She felt as if she was going to be crushed in that bus. She just wanted some air. She ran towards window. She opened it. She suddenly felt air then she was so happy. Then she felt tap on her shoulder. A woman " This is my seat." She felt so embarrassed. She just forgot to see seat number. She apologized to that woman and then she started searching for seat. She just kept praying to god that it was window seat. That bus was so suffocating for her that she just wished that she didn't agree to travel in bus. She never understood. But she was always uncomfortable in bus. Finally she reached to her seat. Her friends knew her problem so they arranged a window seat for her. She smiled and kept looking out of window. When bus started moving, cold air began to touch her face. Her hairs were started moving with air. She began to feel freshness with wonderful air. Her face started to feel that touch. She just sensed those powerful fresh touch of air. She wanted to just go out. She sensed that anxiety and she remembered her tablets. She took them from family Doctor to relax. That Doctor had suggested her to go to psychiatrist. But she just felt too scared to do that. She just kept their name. She was so scared of traveling now a days. She just hated to be locked in any small place. She was not even sure that she could travel in train. She didn't remembered last time when she traveled in train. She just kept pretending that she could. But in heart she knew that she could travel in nothing. She just hated congested places and every mode of traveling was so small that she just couldn't feel comfortable inside it. She just hated them. She knew that she was getting worst day by day. She never wanted to go in crowded places. She was lucky that her job was of sales girl which required lot of traveling but she could use her scooter. Then she just had to deal with individual person and convince them which was easy for her. She never sat in shop. She knew that she just couldn't but she made enough money by her door to door selling so she was always admired in her office. She had special skill of convincing so she could sell her products easily. It was perfect for her.
       Jasmin tried her best at every point to relax. She felt that she would manage. But she was feeling so strange. That air from window was giving her life. She was looking just out of that window. She sensed as if her life was going out with that air. On every point she felt one fact from inside that she just couldn't survive. Last time it was not that worst. This time she suddenly began to feel breathless. It felt as if some one was taking life out of her. She just felt sure that she must had done something totally wrong. She felt that she might had eaten something which lead to this. She just couldn't understand one thing that how could she become so sick. She wanted to scream but she couldn't. Then she suddenly began to breathe with noise. Every one around her was started looking at her. Slowly her friend who was sitting near her started to tap on her back slowly with just one hope. She could breathe. But she just didn't manage to understood on any point. What was wrong with her. But it was horrible for her. She just didn't want to move around in bus. She was making strange sounds. Then every one started to try to help her, They were literally pushing her. It was hurting her. But she didn't care, she just wanted out of that bus. She was feeling so sick. She was sure that she was going to die. Being drag out of her seat was not easy for her but she just didn't able to move so it was must for her. She had to let them drag her out of her seat. Those few minutes seemed like century to her. Finally they took her out of that bus and she rested on dirty road. She could sense that she was all dirty with that red dust. But she didn't care,she just wanted to be out of that bus. She could sense that slowly her breathing start to turn normal. One of her friends started giving her water but other stopped her. Friend "We must take her to Doctor first. It could be heart attack. " Everyone was convinced from one thought that they must call ambulance. But Jasmine was now started breathing normally. But she hated idea of getting locked in any vehicle again. She decided that she would walk on road. She knew that she had traveled far away. She decided that she would stop in some hotel. Jasmine slowly stood up. Jasmine " Don't worry. I am just fine. That bus was just too much for me. I like to in some hotel." Then she looked around. It was clearly a forest. They must had come ahead from town. She just wanted to find some hotel. But other passengers and her friends were not ready to just let her stay in hotel. Her friend "How can you find hotel and stay there alone? Are you out of your mind?" Jasmine " I am so sorry to disturb your picnic like that I just wished from heart that I have not come. " Many of her friends were already upset. But then one friend spoke "Friends there is no need to get tense. I know one resort just one kilometer away. If we go there.." Jasmine "I don't want to go in that bus." "Just for small drive." "No.. No..it is making me worst. I will just walk." Then suddenly one of her friends noticed one villagers bullock cart. "Can you travel in this? It is open." Jasmine smiled happily. She loved this idea. She went to that villager offered him money. He was happy to take her since in his eyes it was easy money. But for Jasmine he was life saver. She sat in his cart. Some friends sat with her for enjoyment. They were perfectly happy with this arrangement. Soon they all came in resort.
     Jasmine liked that resort. It was so open and full of air. But then she ran to ask for room. She didn't want a large room with many beds. They would lead troubles for her. She just hated when she was stuck in small place with too many people. She wanted large place or small people with just limited friends. She knew that they mostly had one room for two person which was perfect for her. But still she asked receptionist who gave her room which had enough windows to give her peace. Her friends were watching her. They all just felt one thing that they had to warn her. She was acting too strange. But they knew that they couldn't go together in her room since it would also create troubles for her. They started to discuss. " I just feel have to bring out this subject before her." "So true. Her problem is increasing. Last time she was upset while traveling but this time she was nearly about to die." "I just feel we got ourselves too scared. We just have to understand those fits are just psychological.." "But they can also give physical reaction in life. Since they were too scared, it can also harm them." Every one started to understand those harm. They had began to get tense. One friend " How did we are going to manage to this picnic?" They all were worried. They all just wished from heart that they had not brought Jasmine with them. But they were so scared that they no longer managed to enjoy any moment. Jasmine could sensed it all. She knew that she had to stay in one room and she had to let others enjoy things. She was on verge of crying. She could felt so much guilty. First time in life she tried to wander around like normal person. But it all just turned against her. She was there and every one was in trouble just because of her. She just wanted to find proper place to hide. She no longer wanted to wander but she didn't want to trouble any one. She just wanted one thing that was success for her. She wanted to go away from those fears in life. But those things were not working in proper way for her. She came to this tour with hope to get over fear. But she just managed to disturbed them. She felt as if she was burden to all. This happened every time when she went in some crowded place. She never went in any mall. She just avoided buildings. She started going out in open market which were actually far away from her house. She just began to select vegetables out of that market  started to select all open places for shopping. She just wanted to get rid of it. But she had pretend that she was fine. She took keys and went to her friends. Jasmine " I will rest in my room. You all can ...." Her friend " Just give keys. We all just sleep." Jasmine nodded. In heart she knew that she had ruined it for all. She just took her key and went in room. She knew that she had to just share her room. She just hoped that she would get good partner. But she was shocked when Radhika came in her room. It was worst. They hardly knew Radhika. She was neighbor of some friend who was invited just to manage even number. It was clear that they had not expected yes from Jasmine. In fact they invited her just for sake of formality. But she came and became burden. She just ran in bathroom to cry. She just hoped Radhika didn't notice it.
    Radhika was confused and shocked but she sensed that something was totally wrong with Jasmine. She needed help. She knew that Jasmine was not her friend.But still she felt that Jasmine could become her nice friend. Radhika still remembered that how did Jasmine wanted to relax her friends. But as soon as Jasmine went in her room, scene was totally changed. A friend "Now why did we invited her?" "I was telling not to ask." "But now she never came so I just assume.." "And your assumption is totally wrong. She is here and we all are in mess." "She is so selfish. She know she had to problem still she came.."Then Radhika had it enough. Radhika "Come on. We can manage." Then suddenly they all started talking to her sweetly " Radhika can you stay with Jasmine during this trip. I know that she is burden.." "No..NO..I like her. She is always nice with me. I don't need to travel in bus. I can always take some taxi with her." "But then you have to tolerate those expenses with her." "I will adjust." Then they all smiled and told her to stay in Jasmine's room. She nodded. She knew one thing. Jasmine's friends didn't care for her. In fact they were not really her friends, They are just pretending. She felt so sad for her. When she went in room, she understood her reaction. But she just didn't know how to handle it. She kept waiting. After some time finally Jasmine came, once again she was smiling as if nothing was happen. She felt so sad from heart. She just sensed one thing from heart. She felt just one thought that Jasmine was just kept pretending. Jasmine never showed anything true from her heart. But Radhika was interested in her true feelings. Radhika " Do you want to move around?" Jasmine looked scared " I am fine in room.." "Now don't lock your self like that it will not help. Come on. We can wander around." Jasmine nodded. They took bathe then they went out for walk. Jasmine was so happy with Radhika. Radhika was telling her so many things about forest. She never taunted her. But she just kept chatting. They just kept looking around. That forest was really nice. Jasmine " So this location is not that bad. I am so glad that I have not totally spoiled all for them." Radhika "Why did you care so much about them? They never cared about you a little bit. You have to understand that they are not your true friends." "No.. NO..They are nice. It's just because of my phobia. They just hate it." "So they want to use you for just your strength and hate your weakness." "No.My trouble is so hard on them. They just have to make special taxi and they can't go in bus or train." "But if they had those problems, do you think you treat them same way?" Jasmine was so confused. "I don't know." "If you are that selfish, then you would have forced for Taxi by now and you will relaxing in home. But you tried to adjust and they never did." "So what are you saying?" "You must not pay attention to them. Stop blaming yourself and try to solve your problem." "I am tired so hard. But .." "You can't do it on your own. You need some help." " You mean psychiatrist." "So you know it." "I know it but I am too scared to go." "Then I will come with you. " Jasmine was so shocked. "Why did you do that for me?" "Since once I use to have problem, it was not like your but it was hard for me. But that psychiatrist cured me and I am perfect now." "Wow. Can you take me to that psychiatrist? " "Of course. But first promise me until then you will enjoy vacation with me." Jasmine smiled and nodded.
        On that occasion Jasmine enjoyed every moment but she never thought that Radhika would meet her again. She was so shocked when Radhika called her again. Then she decided to meet her in some garden. When they met there, Radhika talked with her friendly but then slowly she brought that chapter of psychiatrist. Jasmine "I am scared to go. But if you come with me.." "Of course. I will come with you. I know that psychiatrist very well. You will be fine." Jasmine was so scared. But she needed Radhika as friend so she agreed to go. That day she took most important decision of life. Until now she just suffered due to this trouble, she never made any friends. She just tried to adjust with every one but no one really liked her. It was worst for her. But she never dared to visit a psychiatrist. Since every one seemed to telling her against psychiatrist. In fact every one claimed that they were no good for her. But when Radhika took her to that psychiatrist, she was so shocked. It was nice psychiatrist. Psychiatrist " So since when you started to have this problem." "Actually since childhood to tell you the truth my mother used to feel same way. I feel it must be in genes." Psychiatrist laughed. "It is not genetic. You are just copying your mother." "What?" "Yes. Every child copy every thing from their parents. Sometimes they even copied their fear. When your Mom got scared of that place, you felt that there must be some thing scary. ""But I am big now and I can sense that there is nothing scary. But still I feel that fear." "I know but it happens. Fear never have logic once it enters in your life. Slowly it turns into phobia. Then at every step you started to avoid it.When you do that people taunt you, that will increase your fear more and lead you to more troubles in life. So at every step you need to move with more fear because your society looked at you in odd way and that will scare you more. " "You are so right. All my friends and relatives looked at me as if I am something less than human. I have my fear. But that doesn't make me less. Does it? " "No..NO that is their problem. Never take that blame on you. They just never understand that they are just blaming you for their own mistake. For example if you are so inconvenience for them, then why did they invite you? Because they want you for their needs." Then Jasmine remembered how many times she was recommended her friend's in place for their job. How many times she arranged many things for them? She helped them. " So they made friendship just for those benefit and to pretend it. They called me many times." "Yes. They wanted freedom from your troubles. So you can't please such people. Your phobia is not some thing so rare. It happens to many people but if you keep ignoring. It will increase. In fact just think about those opportunities which you missed. " In her heart she began to count them. They were many. She remembered that she had so many job opportunities. She loved them but she just couldn't go in crowded places so she had to quit them. Her personal life was just destroyed due to it. She wanted to get over it. " Can you cure me?" " I can but it is not easy. Radhika had also gone through it. Her problem was different. But still she knew. "  Radhika " It was hard. But it was worth every effort. So such relief. Don't worry. I will help you. You can do it?" Jasmine " But what about your family?" Radhika didn't speak anything at first. Then she said " I have none....My family died in an accident. Everyone except me. My husband and children all. Then I started seeing them even after their death. At beginning I just tried to hide but then slowly my parents sensed something is wrong so they took to Doctor. Now you can see how normal I am." Jasmine was so shocked. But when she came to her senses, she just felt one thing. If Radhika could do it then she could also do it. After all her trouble was so small when it compared to Ridhika. She took Radhika's hand in her hand and decided that she would never disappoint her friend. She would get over it. Jasmine looked at psychiatrist and said " I will do it." Radhika smiled out of her tears.
