Her phobias...

Night was heading and Suchitra was waiting for her husband to come back. Sucheta and Pradeep had come to this beautiful tourist destination for the first time. Pradeep had gone to the nearby restaurant to bring some packed food for both of them that they could enjoy in the dinner in the lodge where they were staying. This lodge was very comfortable to stay but didn't serve food to its costumers. Suchitra was a lady who had different kind of phobias in her mind.

Suchitra used to make hypothetical stories in her mind and then act according to those. It seemed as if she enjoyed living in the phobias and fears. She was afraid of loneliness, she was afraid of crowd, even afraid of happiness, leave aside the sorrows of which everyone is fearful. She was not ready to stay in the lodge among strangers, so Pradeep took her along to the restaurant. There she saw a crowd so was not ready to enter inside to have dinner. So she chose to stay at the parapet in front of the restaurant and sent Pradeep to get the food packed.

She was sweating profusely imagining that some accident might have happened to Pradeep or he might have fought with somebody. She was about to cry and shout loudly to express the fear, thank God, Pradeep had arrived.  Pradeep wiped the sweat on her face and explained that there was lot of rush so had to wait for his turn inside the restaurant. She has sweated so much that her legs were trembling and was not able to walk properly. Although their lodge was nearby still he had to call a taxi  to carry Suchitra to the lodge.

In the lodge Suchitra was lying flat on the bed, still tremblng and now Pradeep was thinking of taking her to the pschiatrist as advised by many of his friends. He hadn't been able to manage her phobias with anger or love alone, she also needed the medical and psychitric help.
