WHAT YOU GIVE IS WHAT YOU GET..REAL LIFE STORY
In a crowd ,one may shine out of all other individuals to make you laugh ,happy ,amused, fascinated and etc. But is he or she a nice person?
I want to share a story happened in my friend’s life. Raghini(not her real name) is a friend of mine since 1st year of college. She is a very good friend, as months passed by, we became best friends.
Basically she would share anything personal problems that she is facing to me and my other friends who were also best buddies for her.
As what i recall, Raghini is a very quiet person, emotional, hard to approach, and hardworking, smart and pretty.
And the story starts like this. There was this person in my batch by the name Harshan (not his real name),who can be categorised as the notorious group members in my batch. He is very loud, quiet a funny guy and outspoken. We consider this group to be ‘notorious’ cause they are type who don’t do homework, get last in the batch, fail almost all papers, disturb and flirt with girls when they walk pass, sleep during lectures, cursing the lecturers with language which lecturers are not familiar of, every weekend they get booze, vomit around hostel hall ,rooms and corridors, make fun of everyone in the batch and the list just goes on.
But this group consisting of 7 members, survived the final examinations semester after semesters (except one, he dropped half way).
Harshan was an outstanding character, he shines in the crowd, and he knows the tricks. He makes people laugh, almost all of them. All presentations, during gatherings, we can say that somehow people will notice him. After all, nobody knew what was lurking behind these entire attractive images that he portrayed.
And back to my friend; Raghini. One fine day, she told me that Harshan had been messaging her for some time. At first, i didn’t take it very serious but everyday she started talking about him.
And finally we got to know that Raghini really like Harshan. She told us the whole story how this guy approached her and why she started liking him. As all my other friends agreed wasn’t really convinced about this guy Harshan. But what to do...every individual has the right to like someone and fall in love. I didn’t say much except i asked her to be careful of her moves. I didn’t worry much as I know Raghini is a smart girl.
Two weeks later we got to know that both of them are together. We were happy for her. She brought her new boyfriend for dinner with us and everybody was fine with him.
You know as usual, everybody has their own work to do--lectures,studies,assignments,presentations,lab reports...so time just went by . After about two months, we noticed that Raghini was no more the person she was. She always look worried, no smile on her face, looked depressed. When we asked about it,she told that she has some problems with Harshan.
We didn’t interfere in her problems as it was too personal besides just gave her moral support.
Weeks after that, we saw Raghini going out with Harshan’s friend; Naveen. And Harshan was happy and fine with it.
I was really surprised to see this, and questioned her about it. She told me that she had a terrible misunderstanding with Harshan and found that he is not the right person for her. And Naveen was very supportive during this period of misunderstanding. She is comfortable and feels secured being around him, so they decide to be together. At this point i knew something was going on but since it was finals around the corner, didn’t concentrate much on this problem.
After holidays, guess what? We saw Raghini with another friend of Harshan and Naveen—Karthik.
I was really worried about this. Her best friends including me confronted her about this, as we noticed that she was portraying some bad image. When he questioned her, she told us a similar story that she told me, saying that Naveen caused some trouble, they broke up and she needed a shoulder, she claims that Karthik was there for her. At this point, we could do anything as she was not listening to us her best friends and we noticed she wasn’t comfortable when we questioned her.
Although it was disappointing, one of my best friends became like this, i had to continue my life, sometimes just sit and ponder about what happened. She kept away from us.
After 3 weeks, we noticed that Raghini didn’t turn up for classes for days. When I contacted her mobile, her mother answered. She told us that Raghini has been hospitalised back in her hometown.
Immediately i called Karthik and asked him if he knows about it. He refused; he claimed that both of them stopped contacting each other.
I inform all my best friends, and on that night itself we drive to her hometown. Next morning we reached her place, went to the hospital and guess what...she was admitted in the psychiatric ward.
It was really sad to see her like that. She could recognise us, she cried loud when she saw us as if she saw her father.
