#PictureStory 32 : Space

Jonathan was never able to understand Maria despite all his attempts. There were days when she would call him and talk for hours, go out on walks with him, sit by the river with him by her side. And then, there were days where she would not pick her calls, open the door or come online. Jonathan would always think that Maria is upset because of something that he has said or done and it would bother him as he loved her deeply.

He would often ask Maria if he had done something wrong and she would always brush off the topic by saying that she just needed some space.

Jonathan was a very easy-going guy who always encouraged Maria to go out with her friends, do a dinner without him and enjoy her own space and this was what attracted Maria to Jonathan as she could not be with a person who made her feel stifled. Despite all this, when Maria would cut all contacts with Jonathan saying that she wanted some space, he would get extremely upset and hurt.

Today, it was their 5th anniversary since they started dating, and Jonathan decided to book a Limousine for their drive. He reached her house in his finest clothes and rang the bell. Maria came out, looking resplendent in her pink gown and was pleasantly surprised on seeing the limo arrangements that were done for her and Jonathan was very happy with her reaction.

Jonathan's joy was short-lived as Maria asked him to stop the car within five minutes of the car leaving her porch. She stepped out and ran back to her house, leaving Jonathan wondering where this relationship is headed.

Neither he nor she knew that she was suffering from a serious case of claustrophobia that would strike her at anytime and anyplace. At that moment, all she needed was solitude in her room by the window.
