Life of Problems

chapter 38

Joe putted his book with a loud thud in the library table that people from other table turned annoyedly.

What is it? Are you frustrated bro? Nick asked concerned.

Obviously l am, shouted Joe.

Hush! We are in library,l said.

Oh yes,he lowered his voice. But what the hell is this? I spent at least 2 weeks for collecting all 

those informations, just hoping that they will make up with each other. But there isn't even a little change in their behavior. And now even Jwel has stopped talking to me. Seriously?

It has been a week already after that night anyway, said Kathy thoughtfully. They should have made up already.

Well... according to Jwel's character, it will take him a very long time to get himself prepared for apologizing to Jiya. He has been calling her devil for 8 years, it's not that easy to make up,is it? I said.

Okay,let them take their time. But what about me? Joe said annoyedly. I told Jwel all the truth,he should be thanking me, but instead he stopped talking with me! And Jiya! I said sorry at least 3 times, what else can I do now?

I think jumping in the river can make it for you,l laughed.

Agghh! Don't make fun of me.Now Jiya is someone really complicated. Not only you messed with her emotion that day, also broke the promise you made to her. I don't think she is forgiving you that easily for revealing her 

secret without her permission,I said.

Come to think of it... you did really bad with her, said Nick slowly.What kind of friends are you? Joe said irritatedly. I did those for her good and now you make me feel evil!

By the way, Kathy said suddenly, you said Jiya has trauma or something like that? What is that?

Actually, Post Traumatic Stress Disease ,Joe said. It's very normal to be traumatic after witnessing a dreadful accident like that, anyone will be so. But people like that generally get well in some months. But some of them suffer from a long lasting trauma, she's doing so.

Why? I asked.

Don't know, Joe said. Maybe she handled too much by herself as a kid and the time after accident when her mental state was sensitive,she didn't get proper care. On that situation when 

everyone was blaming her, it's quite hard to get well.

That time was it totally true? Nick asked. I mean, like last time,this isn't a lie also,is it. About that incident.Joe stood up suddenly. I gotta go,see you guys and he rushed out leaving the books on table.

Where do you think he is going? Nick asked.

Who knows! So Nick,l said, explain me this math. I don't get it.You are confusing me with Jwel sister, Nick said disappointedly. I wonder how will I pass the 

exam.

Only four month left, said Kathy. Those three are so relaxed and look at us! Why aren't they tensed?

They're different. I bet Jwel has already finished revision once. Talking of Joe and Jiya, l see them only reading out books but still doing well in exam, Nick said.

That's why we shouldn't make friendship with geniuses. Everytime when dad asks me about my and my friend's results,l recieve third class embarrassment, l said sighing.

Jeez! You can use my result from this time, Kathy said.

Mine as well, said Nick. Now let's try studying something. At least,we need to pass.Let's try,l and Kathy said doubtfully.
