Attention
When Sweety entered the room,every eye of the office usually turned to her. She was an official entertainment. She always wore different kind of dresses and do different hairdos. Roma always found it funny.Many times she thought about the money her beautician must be making by doing this type of strange hairstyle and make up.This year she also made a tattoo on her arms.When she turned towards Roma.Roma practically wanted to run away from there.So she started standing up. But suddenly Sweety called her such loudly that she just had to talk with her.Sweety"Did you saw my tattoo?Do you think it is cheap?" She was saying each sentence such loudly that every one in the room could hear her. Roma"It is beautiful." After the sentence Sweety was again started admiring own choices.Sweety continuously talked just about herself which began to irritate Roma nowadays.She just wanted to left alone.But Sweety was always after her.She just wanted to be admired by Roma.Roma was not that good at hiding her irritations. It could easily seen on her face. But Sweety never paid attention to it. She just continued nagging behind her. Suddenly Roma's phone ringed and Sweety picked up her phone.Roma was very angry with this attitude.She angrily told her"Give me my phone." After this sentence there was water in Sweety's eyes"I am so sorry.I just thought that we are friends." She spoke it such loudly that every person of the office was looking at them.She took out her handkerchief and started rubbing her eyes.She was making scene out of nothing and at that moment Roma decided that she wanted to get rid of her.
After that Sweety's drama just continued.She went to every person in office and started telling that person, how badly Roma treated her.Roma was very upset regarding it.She spent all her life respectfully.No one had pointed finger at her.But after coming in this office Sweety became continues pain to her.She always blamed her for every fight. She never gave her any privacy. She always wanted admiration for her every act.Roma was very sad about this whole thing. She had already searching for new job.Suddenly her computer indicated a new email.She was in no mood to open it.But finally she opened it and she was on top of the world to learn that she received a new job.She quickly shut down the email.She wanted to hide it from colleagues specially from Sweety. Then she felt that someone was standing behind her.She was afraid even to look back.Then she felt hand on her shoulder."So you finally got that job.Congratulation!!" Sweety was really appreciating her success.Roma was shocked.Sweety happily shacked hands with Roma.Roma was very happy to see her reaction.
Sweety was very happy to learn that Roma was going to leave the job and she had even distributed sweets and hoped for her success.This news was spread like a fire in the whole office and it was biggest gossip for whole office. Roma was leaving the office was common factor.But instead of making melodrama Sweety was happy about it was a shock to all office staff. But Roma was convinced that Sweety was really nice friend and she unnecessarily misunderstood her.She was very guilty about her behaviour so she always remained helpful and kind with Sweety. That was indirect compensation for Roma.At her party she specially gave a imported makeup set to Sweety. But at that moment she suddenly felt that Sweety was hating her inside her heart.
In her heart Sweety was very upset that Roma was leaving her like this.But if she had showed her true feelings.Every person should have gone against her.They should have thought that Roma had right to bright future and Sweety was speed breaker in Roma's future.Sweety always wanted to be good in eyes of everyone so she pretended that she was happy. But inside heart Roma's absence in office was killing her.She couldn't imagine office without Roma.When Sweety reached home after party.She felt very tired. As soon as she sat on sofa ,she loudly screamed for a tea.Her mother slowly came out of kitchen."Did you want just a tea or some thing to eat also?""I told you.I want a tea.Can't you hear me? Have you lost your hearing ability?"Her mother was very angry with her behavior.But she didn't say anything because she wanted to avoid the drama.She knew Sweety wanted to create a drama.She left the room without saying anything.
As soon as her mother started going inside the kitchen.Sweety started feeling uneasy. She was very angry with her mother.She wanted to shout at her.But her voice didn't come out. She wanted to speak but she felt as if something was stopping her from speaking.Slowly she started to think that the walls were coming near her.She thought that she was going to be crushed in them.Sweety started screaming "Mommy...". Her mother came back running.Her mother had started patting her on head.Sweety was very happy to get that attention.Her mother was paying full attention to her.All neighbors were started coming inside to see her.she just loved that type of attention.She was very happy even with the pain.She was feeling because that wall coming near her.But as people started surrounding her. Someone shouted "Don't make crowd around her it will make her more sick." and slowly all the people started getting scattered.Sweety started feeling okay. She started crying and telling the doctor what happened to her.She was telling her story very dramatically with each sentence.She was making different hand gesture.All the people around her thought that she was very sick.But her mother and her doctor had other doubts. Her doctor told her mother to come outside.Sweety was now more excited.She began to think she must had a serious sickness.She happily laughed at herself and told one of the neighbor to phone Roma "And told her I can't able to come office tomorrow." That innocent neighbor was fully convinced that Sweety was really sick so he phoned Roma.He told her that Sweety was seriously sick and they were going to take her to hospital.
But her doctor was convinced otherwise.Doctor"I think Sweety is throwing one of her tantrum again.""What?!But this was looking so real.""Because she was feeling that she is really sick.But I am doctor and I can tell you that she is perfectly all right.She just wanted attention from someone.She was just doing it to get it.She is involved with some boyfriend like last time.That time she thrown that tantrum of drinking medicine.""I still remember that day.I had a hard time in controlling her and taking away that bottle from her.Thank god.I came in the room just on right time.But this time there is no boyfriend.After meeting Roma she stopped making friendship with wrong people." "Who is this Roma?""Her new friend.She had just changed the job and got good job in other office. Sweety was very happy about it.It is first time that Sweety acted maturely.""I can't believe it.I think she is just pretending to be happy.""But why did she pretend like that?""How do I suppose to know?But as a doctor I suggest you that you must take her to psychiatrist." "But how do I convince her?" Don't worry I will do it for you." Then Doctor and her mother went back to her room.
As soon as they went inside,they saw Roma was sitting near Sweety's bed and on the verge of tears.Sweety"I can understand that you must have to leave the company according your new job conditions.But I just forgot.Actually I got suddenly sick and you know my project was just on finishing line.If you can complete it, then you will never steal my credit.But you have to go for new job.I can understand."Her mother and doctor could clearly saw that how did Sweety trying to emotional black on Roma.Roma's next sentence was very definite.She was going to leave her new job for Sweety. But her mother cried loudly"No.Sweety is perfectly fine.She was going to office tomorrow."Sweety"Why?.." Sweety was very angry with her mother but when she saw doctor was with her mother.She just kept quiet.After all she wanted approval from everyone specially Doctor.She always went to him and he had special respect in eyes of public so she controlled her feeling after saying what.Sweety "Mom I was feeling sick..."Doctor"No.You are fine.You just need a psychiatrist for your sickness."Sweety was very happy now.She suddenly remembered that someone was suffering from sickness in which that person can't sit inside closed the room.She suddenly liked that sickness lot more that Roma for grabbing attention so she willingly agreed to go to psychiatrist.Roma was also happy when this matter was solved.
When they went to psychiatrist, Sweety started telling about her problem.When she was telling about her sickness.Doctor was observing her very carefully.Many times she started crying unnecessarily.After every five seconds she removing her goggles, she didn't remove her goggles when she entered the room.She had rings on her each finger.Each had a different colour of stone.When Doctor asked her if she believed in astrology.She said yes and started narrating about each stone.But by her narration Doctor could easily observed it that she was just telling the information.She had memorized from some book because except the stones.She didn't know anything about Astrology.She was doing it just to get attention.That could be easily seen.First Doctor told nurse to take Sweety with her and gave her coffee for relaxation. Sweety was happy with attention showered on her.She willingly went away with nurse. Doctor"I think you are suffering from Histrionic Personality Disorder.Did her father was little strict?"Mom"Yes.He was strict.But he was always concerned about her.He never beaten her.""But he berated her.Showed her every time how inferior she was.That had affected her mind she began to think that she was inadequate to handle her life so she started wanting appreciation and support of every one and in effort of getting it.She wanted Roma's attention more than anything so she started feeling sick.But then when she got my attention.She just forgot Roma completely."Mom"But what shall I do now?""We will teach her to look at life more objectively. She will now on concentrate more on her work and less on other people's compliments." After that slowly Sweety started concentrating more on her work and on her promotion party she even invited Roma.Roma was really happy on her friend's success.
The End
