Life of Problems

chapter 17

Jiya was sitting in her tent. Joe hasn't come for more than a week. Though Jiya wanted him to stop coming but why isn't she happy now .

Jiya was thinking when suddenly heard a noise and turned. Joe! Jiya smiled for a moment almost not visible.

Hey dear! Joe shouted and came close to Jiya. His face had an innocent smile like always

You again! Jiya said annoyedly .I thought you won't come again.

Wrong, look at me , Joe came more close.

What are.... Jiya was going to say when Joe started saying very speedily, diepression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, mood disorders, psychotic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder....... Joe stopped suddenly. So you have PTSD.

Jiya was so shocked that she couldn't talk for a moment.... what are you taking about? Jiya asked angrily then.

These are some of most common mental disorders. When I said stress disorder, your eye's expression changed a little.

Joe! Jiya said in a cold voice...I didn't say that I have a mental disease, did I ?

I told you that I like to study about psychology... it's not so hard to understand after spending much time with you... so, can I ask you a question?

What? This time Jiya was so angry... she doesn't want anyone to know so much about her... But this boy!

That's why Jwel calls you devil, the occurrence for which you got stress....

Shut up! Jiya shouted.

Joe looked at her . Her eyes were teary! What! She... is she crying?! Joe has been taking with Ema for a week. She told Joe a lot about them. Ema said she has never watched Jiya crying in these years... Messed up! Joe mumbled.

Jiya started taking her books..I will leave, I can't let anyone know about that, Jiya thought.

Jiya... Joe grabbed her hand. Sorry, I didn't know you're this sensitive about that occurrence. That....

Do you know what is it? Jiya asked scaredly .

No.. but, Jiya didn't hear anymore. She freed her hand and started walking.

Jiya listen! I haven't finished yet, Jiya... Joe kept shouting but Jiya didn't look back for a single time. She was so angry at herself.. why? Why did I let him observed me? I can't be close to anyone , why did I forget that?
