Life is uncertain and so is our journey of life
Blessings come and go; but aren’t they the most important that makes us carry on?
Then why do we forget those, often, who remember us in their prayers?
After two years and 4 months
Prantik: “A stubborn Bitch!”
Dr Tripti: “Umm I was going to say Jahnvi is split.”
Prantik: “No doc, I know my wife, she is a stubborn bitch, used to getting her way with me. That’s what she is."
Dr. Tripti totally understood where Prantik was coming from. It wasn’t the easiest loving and being married to someone with a fierce hold on life- However twisted that was and has turned out be so far. Prantik definitely had her on his side this time.
Prantik was scared to death to listen to more but he kept his cool at the same time some fire raged within his soul. Why was Jahn so problematic? Why couldn’t she just be like other trophy wives? Spend her husband’s money and just chill the fuck out in life? She always had the knack to discover herself. That always got in the way of their relationship! He half heard the Doc give an insight into her condition when she interrupted his thoughts.
Dr Tripti: “Prantik, are you with me?
Prantik: “Do I have a choice Doc? You were saying…”
Dr Tripti was always perplexed about the relationship Prantik and Jahnvi shared but she kept her opinions to herself on Jahn’s visits for therapy from time to time. The two were in love for sure. But this kind of love was unconventional and honestly, bizarre to her. Prantik had this stoic and cool competency to deal with Jahnvi most times but she could measure his patience right now by just looking at him that Jahnvi had no idea what was coming her way. She hoped in vain it was a straight game of healing this time. But they were both unpredictable and she had to get around that. This was after two years on Jahn’s visit last week that she discovered that her patient is, well, not exactly, but there was something that led her to conclude...Dr Tripti re-emerged from her thoughts and came back to the moment when she had to break it to Prantik .
Dr Tripti: "So I was saying , Jahnvi is a split personality. Thank god there’s only one in her case. I have been observing her for two years since her last break down five years ago when she pursued Tinder to benign her insecurities and fear. That’s what I am getting at. But before that let me finish. The past two years have been stable and I have been observing her on her visits but since last week, she has been acting differently. The catch here is – She is aware of her difference in behavior and absolutely carefree about it too. This could be a double edged sword. Most splits don’t realize when they change personality/ personalities. But Jahn, attuned to her subconscious, knows when she splits. That is good and bad. Good because her real self, “Jahnvi” is aware what her split is doing and has the power to come back. The bad part is that knowing Jahnvi, she won’t want to until she is satisfied with what her split is out to achieve."
Prantik: "I know what exactly her split wants. She wants her wayward way of life back. Marriage is too fucking stable for her. A loving husband isn’t all she wants. She wants to gallant the halls of Tinder every now and then and now especially since she’s been writing this book on uncovering the truth about mental health!"
He was going to add that she often becomes the character she is writing about but that would cause the Dr. to faint so he kept listening.
Dr. Tripti: "And now I will tell you why she has a split. Her biggest enemies are her fears and insecurities. The trauma that you unknowingly caused her when you deserted her and flew to Arizona without a word has botched her self-belief into a condition. That condition you take care of by giving her ample time but the insecurity that you may desert her for someone else or for work again; she lives in constant dilemma of the unknown. And, because she is insecure about you, remember this only because she loves you like nobody else could, her biggest fear is losing you. She doesn’t pay much attention to her fear and insecurities unless her trauma of being deserted comes back from time to time so she uses Tinder as a distraction to feel good about herself."
Prantik: "Since the last two years, after our fight about me being busy with work and working to secure our future kid’s domination in the world, I have been with her whenever I could Doc. I don’t understand, I never give her reason to fear about losing me again."
Dr Tripti: "I know Prantik, I know and I hear you. But the thing is we are dealing with a split personality that has cure but at a hypnosis level that may take years together to show results. Knowing Jahnvi, she won’t buy into treatment and will continue to suffer in silence. I, for one, can’t have that. She has been my dear patient for almost 8 years since you both fell in love and I have seen her grow. I have seen her in the light and I can’t lose her to a split that she uses whenever she wants."
Prantik: "I know exactly what you mean doctor. I know and I even know how to treat this condition once and for all."
He said this with so much staleness in his anger and made sure it didn’t reflect in his tone. He was convinced that Jahn was living her character and this time, he was clearing her out of all mental health disorders from the root. He’d let the doctor do her job but at the core level he was convinced he would straighten his over smart wife for good this time. He’d had enough of their life revolving around her. They had an imminent change expected in their relationship in a few months and he couldn’t have the new welcome deal with his wife’s convenient behavioral issues. The doctor may call it a mental health condition, but knowing the root cause of it being fear and insecurity; he would treat her in his own way this time. Not a doctor, but he aced mental health living with the epitome of it being his wife. He just knew what he would do now.
Dr Tripti: "I will call in Jahn every week for her therapy sessions but what you can do at your end is be patient. Very patient Prantik."
“Patient my foot!” raged Prantik. He had had it with Jahn this time and knew what was at stake. For the love of their game, she would straighten up this time. He swore that much.
Prantik:"Yes Doc, call her in for therapy from your end every week and I’ll do what I have to do. I’ve got this.”
Dr Tripti got scared with Prantik’s quiet coolness this time. That the game had begun. The urban couple was on a ride again, that much she knew. But she couldn’t have the slightest whiff of what was about to blow her mind in a few years. She just hoped that this time the game wasn’t too brutal. Twisted and brutal- Two words that rang in her head as Prantik left her healing boutique.
