Empathy

"Di, Arjun is cheating on me."

"What? How can you be so sure?"

"Di, I have noticed, he has been ignoring me. For a few days, his behavior has changed towards me. He didn't love me anymore...He must have found someone more beautiful than me...I must confront him. Now it's too much..."

"Calm down dear."

"Di, I can't tolerate this anymore, I can't see him with anyone else...You know how much I love him."

"I know dear, but please calm down. You have to be strong. Just stay at my place today, everything will be fine."

Tamanna called her best friend, Shivani, and told her everything. Even she advises her the same.

"Tanu, don't worry...I would visit you tomorrow."

"Ya Shivani. Please do...I will be really happy. Come by 11 am. Please help me sort this out."

Tamanna got busy on the phone...Just to divert her mind.

In the morning, she got a bit late. When she reached home, she saw Arjun hugging Shivani. 

She burst out. She thought Arjun cheated on her with Shivani. And she was a fool that she herself brought this matter to Shivani. She asked help from the person who was herself the problem.

She cried, she screamed. It was then when they both noticed her over there.

 Even Arjun had tears in his eyes...

Tamanna went to her sister's place again.

"Tanu, my dear, my child...Please listen to me...Hey ...Open the door dear... Just talk to me. At least tell me what happened.?"

When she heard the matter, she immediately called Arjun. Arjun cried in front of her. She could feel the pain in his voice too.

Arjun told her that he really loved Tanu. And she thinks he was cheating on her. He told her that there is nothing between him and Shivani... She just tried to help him...Nothing else.

She tried to console him...

When she went to her room, Tamanna slept. But her phone was still showing some video...

Tamanna might be watching some film. It was something related to the same...A guy cheating on his beloved...

She saw the whole film...

The next morning, Tamanna woke up early. She seems to be happy. She packed her bags and waited for her sister to woke up.

"Di...I m leaving. Arjun must be waiting for me. I flight with him unnecessarily. Even I had to say sorry to Shivu also. She had faced my anger without any reason."

She was shocked by her suddenly changed behavior. But she was happy that Tanu has herself realized her mistake.. she didn't want to spoil it. So she just wished her good luck.

Arjun was amazed when he saw her.

They both cried a lot...She was guilty of her behavior...And Arjun was feeling helpless...He was just about to lose his love... They both cried and slept over the couch itself. When she woke up...She didn't saw Arjun...She got worried...She dialed his number but it was not answered. Suddenly Arjun came up with a little surprise for her...She shouted at him for missing. He pampered her like a little baby. He gifted her a ring, a bouquet, and many more things...She was relaxed after seeing him alright. They watch some web series together...And enjoyed.

In the morning, Arjun found her somewhat disturbed...She was furious over her sister for no reason...

She was talking about some old family matter to which her sister didn't reply well.

Tamanna went over her sister's place and confront her...She was talking about their parent's divorce.

Her sister didn't want to answer but couldn't control it more...

She told Tannu about their parent's divorce...About their maternal and paternal relatives...How their mother was abandoned by everyone in society...How the three were humiliated many times...

Tanu couldn't bear it anymore and got panicked...She blamed her sister for not stopping all this... 

"Di, you were mature enough ..You could have stopped our parents from being separated...You could but you didn't..."

That day...It was her sister who was blamed...Arjun calmed both of them...

Arjun observed that the web series they had watched...It showed a similar kind of situations...

He talked about it to her sister...

Even she told that when she caught her after their fight, she was watching some film, it had a similar story of a guy cheating on his girlfriend...

Arjun thought there must be some connection between these incidents...

They went to a psychiatrist...

She conducted some counsellings...

The psychiatrist told that Tanu was suffering from some mental disorder...She was strongly empathetic... She was imagining that fiction to be real. Like it was her story only........Everything similar happened to her... She could feel the same pain, happiness, and other emotions that those characters have felt.

Arjun and her sister came to know the matter now... 

Tamanna needs treatment for her extra empathetic nature...
