AUNavratriBlogHop: Emotions Break Or Make? (Part-2)
One day, while Arha was traveling on the bus, the imprints of her past journey with her friend Adi started pestering her. This time, she was traveling solo. Thousands of thoughts started crossing her mind, and she felt emotionally weak. She wondered if her friend could do that to her. It is challenging for her to trust anybody. Through half of her journey, she sat alone in her two-row seat.
Soon, she got the company of a woman with an angelic appearance. Her name was Asha. Her smiling face had an enormous charm that could change the mood of every doomed person. She found a vacant seat beside Arha and asked her, "Is this seat taken?" Arha came out of her train of thought after she asked three times, shaking Arha. She got afraid with the mere touch of the woman and resisted. On realizing she was a woman, Arha meekly responded affirmatively. Asha realized something was wrong with her. She decided to sit with Arha.
On the way, Asha tried to talk to Arha, asking about her whereabouts, what she did, and much more. Soon, Arha got comfortable in the presence of Asha and started to talk with her. After talking for a while, Asha asked Arha why she reacted that way when Asha first came to her. Arha tried to look away, not having to answer that question. But angelic Asha made her talk in no time about what happened with Arha in her past journey.
Arha filmed the incident of that night and told Asha her trust broke that day, and now she found it challenging to trust strangers, especially men. Asha told Arha, "Beta, if you will feel vulnerable about that incident every time you travel, you will not come out of that terror and miss a beautiful part of your journey." Arha listened to her carefully as if she were under some spell by that magical woman. Asha continued, "His actions were filthy. Do not be afraid. Tell your parents about this incident, and you will feel relieved."
She got perplexed for a while, then nodded on Asha's words. Asha told Arha to be emotionally fit to fight such demons. Emotional balance is a must to survive because problems will always be there. It is on you to choose between fight and flight.
Asha touched the broken soul of Arha that day, and Arha talked about the incident with her parents, who told her to be there for her in every situation. She can discuss her problems, and the family will solve them together.
Emotional balance is crucial to survive because problems are like that undesirable guest to whom you entertain (with calmness) and wait for them to leave (the happy moment).

I am so so happy to see Asha spreading her magic! Sometimes we take an eternity to be comfortable to share, sometimes a single moment does that magic! Loved this story Tanvi!

ReplyDeleteHmm, because at some or other phase women come across emotional imbalance, if uplifted they rise.
