Being a Hero-3

The play and everything was now over and all this protectiveness of mine led me into getting close to her. Closee as a good friend. Thus gradually she started opening up to me and there came a time when I knew about her and her life more that practically anyone else; even her best friend. Gradually I found that she was having a hard time in her house; she was living at her aunt's. But this was something I came to know too late. I mean she didn't just directly told me that, rather something happened that made her open up well enough to let me into her life's happennings.
I don't know how really it happened but each and everytime she was sad or upset or crying, I knew that. Well not exactly but yeah everytime she was into any of these feelings I'd get annoyed or frustrated without any known reason whatsoever. At that point of time there wouldn't be anything troublesome in my life and yet for no reason my mind wouldn't cooperate and would just act puzzled or perplexed. I realised this only when one day when we met she told me of not feeilng good the previous night and was too upset. I remembered the very same for myself as well, with the only difference that she had reasons for it (her family issue, of which she hadn't given much description) and I had no discoverable reason at all. I then told her feeling the very same way at almost the same time as hers and just so she don't take it as my attempt of empathising I gave her the proof of whatsapp message I sent in our mutual group. I even showed her the time and confirmed whether it was the same time around. She affirmed and then I asked and she told about the hardship she had to face.
With the passage of time this grew. Now anytime she'd be disturbed I'd know it (unintentionally). Thus I'd even ring her up to ensure she's fine. And as it is said, misery loves company, she'd open up, either on the phone or whenever we'd meet in person. Gradually I realised she was facing some real hardships being at her aunt's and thus I contemplated that God was doing injustice with her by giving such a sweet and nice girl all these problems. It was then I decided that no matter what, I'll do whatever in my power to do the right for her; to set things right as much as I can and would be there for her, everytime she faces any problem. I'd also try my utmost best to solve those problems because compared to my life, they seemed trifling and were a piece of cake for me. All I wanted was to eradicate all the small problems she had to encounter so as to ensure her happiness. And she did notice it in some ways. I became her last hope and the only person to be sought when no one else could help her; and whatever I couldn't do it, she knew straightaway no one else can...
