Scarlet POV (2021 July)

  i did my chores and was ready to cook for the dinner and that is when mom called me outside for a chat I didn’t know what she is upto but she is upto something so I did walked with her.

  ‘’ are you okay?’’ mom asked me once she closed the door and suggesting me to take a seat in the nearby wooden chair.

  ‘’ I am okay. Why?’’

  ‘’ because you don’t look like you are okay.’’

  ‘’ so what?’’

  ‘’ what happened between you both?’’ she looked at me, I tried to look away but there was no escaping from this question.

  ‘’ we just aint okay, that’s all.’’

  ‘’ why aren't you talking to him?’’

  ‘’ why should I ?’’

  ‘’ because he cares about you.’’

  ‘’ since when did you saw his good?’’

  ‘’ since he told me everything about you and him and how you both were lovers behind my back.’’ I felt a cold breeze ripping through my heart once I heard those words. I looked at her in disbelief. But her look was stern and rigid. She meant what she said and I was out of my words.

  ‘’ and all this while you never told me anything about it? You played your game behind my back and until something like this happen , even that come from the other end , you didn’t spit a word, for God’s sake how?’’ mom asked me, I opened my mouth in defense but my tongue were twisted from the shock , I couldn’t untangle it so that I could speak. After struggling to speak for few minutes I was able to say some words.

  ‘’ I was scared you would judge me mom, I am sorry I was madly in love with him and I couldn’t control myself I was a victim of his love .’’

  ‘’ victim of his love? Wow! How is that my daughter knows poetry so well?’’ mom mocked me. She was trying to take her anger on me. I feel it coming.

  ‘’ do you understand what you have done?going against the lord? Loving someone who doesn’t love lord as much as you or as much as God deserve.’’

  ‘’ I am sorry mom.’’ I said tears slowly cracking through my eyes.

  ‘’ you clearly don’t. ‘’

  ‘’ I don’t love him like I used to , so it don’t matter . I am away from him, that is all that matter right? ‘’ I said slowly taking a seat.

  ‘’ you cant just abandon him like that.’’

  ‘’ ofcourse I can I am not attached to him, I have the right to be free from him.’

  ‘

  ‘’ you just cant leave him there.’’

  ‘’ why not?’’ I got up from my seat causing it to fell back. Mom picked it up and touched me in the shoulders and let me sit.

  ‘’ you have to understand he loves you so much, he may have fault but you have to forgive him.’’

  ‘’ I am done forgiving him mom I am done forgiving him, its all that I did all my life. Listening to his old tales and forgiving and expecting good but gaining pain.’’ I cried and mom hugged me. And I cried loudly hence getting Abigail’s attention too.

  ‘’ whats the matter with you both?’’ she asked opening the door halfway and asking permission whether to be with us or let us do our own.

  ‘’ she and her boyfriend.’’mom said.

  ‘’boyfriend?’’ Abigail asked scratching her head.

  ‘’ yeah!’’ mom replied. She looked at me and at mom. She exchange her glances until I spoke.

  ‘’ she knows.’’ I said. And it took her awhile to understand.

  ‘’ okay..’’ Abigail said .

  They advice me to make the right decision and I made up in my mind that I aint going to be his girlfriend anymore, I aint going back to that shell. I want freedom not my wings entangled to him.

  His arrogance refuses to accept that I am gone but he need to understand it anyway. My anger was right at the top when I touched my phone. Once I on data I got many notifications all and most by him, but I ignored all his weeping and went right at the topic.

  Scarlet ; what have you done? Are you out of your mind?

  Pathum ; what have I done?

  Scarlet ; oh drama queen! Would you stop it?

  Pathum ; I am sorry did mom hurt you ? if she did I am extremely sorry.

  Scarlet ; you simply proved that you would do anything just to make me your girlfriend, I am not buying that crap. Too late for it . one thing you need to keep in mind is I will never be your girlfriend you understand that? So stop trying.

  Pathum ; I am sorry.

  Scarlet ; you could have told me.

  Pathum ; I am sorry, I should've thought about it.

  Scarlet; should have ?

  Pathum ; yeah . I am sorry.

  Scarlet ; stop saying sorry it’s annoying.

  Pathum ; I -

  Scarlet ; oh yeah now you’re stuck.

  Pathum ; you wont die if you offer me some kindness sweetie

  Scarlet ; don’t call me by your pet names , I am not your pet.

  Pathum ; you are my princess!

  Scarlet ; you wish.

  Pathum ; yes I do.

  Scarlet ; I have to break it to you. It ain't going to happen. I am never going be your girlfriend ever again so step down from your dream world.

  It must have hurt him, but he gave me no other choice.

  Pathum ; just because you are not my girlfriend doesn't mean you need to be in this constant rude mode.

  Scarlet ; whatever . bye!

  Pathum : Scarlet please I can’t live without. I can’t. You know that and you still treat me this way doesn’t it hurt you to see me this way.

  All the times I hurt you were times when I get angry but that doesn’t mean I failed to control my anger every single time I got mad there were plenty of times where I would get mad but managed to not let that hurt you but you never remember those times. You only remember the times i hurt you. You don’t even remember the times i went through all sort of ocd craps just to make you happy. I would give my life to make you happy, it is never just limited to words I would devote my whole life to you if you would allow me. I mean even now when you don’t appreciate me I still love you.

  I am so sad Scarlet! I can’t live without you. Please do I need to remind it to you every single time? All I did was to bring you back I never tried to use mom to hurt you all that I tried was to be your boyfriend one more time and be happy. I want to study well sweetie and I cannot do that when you are not here with me. Please let go of your ego and join hands with me. Please! I love you! I love you so much! I really do! It is never a lie! Please understand!

  I am tired.

  I gotta go take some sleep and shut down the phone especially to stop his nonstop sobbing. He can sob all day. I don’t care anymore.

  Call me heartless! I don’t care! I did this for me. The best choice for my future is to stay away from him. Just stay away from him as much as possible and never to fall to his traps.

  The next few days went by without a huge significance although he was still trying his best to make things right, things right in his opinion. He was trying his best to fix this break up and he really thinks that I AM stupid enough to buy his fake weeping crap and go back into being his girlfriend.
