Scarlet POV

  LIFE IS FUNNY AND with him its all jolly. We spent the last remaining weeks of corona lockdown as efficient as we can. Me and him all day, I cant ever spent a single day without him, I thank god for bringing him into my life. He is truly a gift of god.

  My family ,they loved him , and he loved us and we were so happy but now the contrary dictates us. My family no longer see as a piece of me but as a threat for us.

  I got up from bed and we had our morning tea, Pathum continued his studies while I did some chores and sat for some family discussion, mom arranged the discussion .

  “ so while dad is busy with his work I do like to have some family talk, because I think it is very important to have one.’’ mom said sitting at the sofa and asking us to sit down.

  “ you know scarlet we have something to do with you and your life. I ,as your mother and she, as your sister we are concerned about your life, and we think that we need to take the right decisions to allow you to be well.’’ mom said looking at my sister and then both giving their attention towards me.

  ‘’ ofcourse mama, I understand. Thank you so much for your concern.’’ I smiled and they didn’t. I felt something is not right.

  “ your teacher said your grades are going down and you have been sleeping in the classes, that is not something we expected from you. You are a good enthusiastic girl, you don’t live like that, you cannot live like that.’’

  ‘’ oh I am sorry mom, I promise to do better, I promise to do better.’’ I repeated my words but neither of them gave any attention to me, they were only concerned with what they have to say.

  ‘’ well dear we are so worried about you .’’ mom touched my hand and looked me in the eye, something just not alright. Something about to come that doesn’t feel right.

  ‘’ I understand mom.’’ I replied.

  ‘’ no you don’t!’’ Abigail interrupted

  ‘’ what do you mean I don’t?’’ I asked.

  ‘’ we think , I think you need to take a rest from all of this, you need shut your phone and be with yourself close to god, you understand?’’

  ‘’ I cant stay away from my phone mom, how else can I contact him?’’

  ‘ you don’t need to contact him, just give him a break and let him be alone and you focus on you, you know? A break would do real good on both of you ‘’

  I don’t understand what mom is trying to say, but nevertheless I am not going to abandon him

  ‘’ I am sorry mom but I cant help it, I cannot let him stay without me, he needs my help, he needs me and I need him.’’

  ‘’ so you are not worried about your grades? You don’t wanna do anything about it ? you don’t wanna uplift your family over a single boy who is miles away from you or who is never going to be with you.’’

  Thats it! Nobody disrespect my boy . they just need to know their limits.

  “he is not just a boy, he is everything to me, I would never leave him, never, my grades got nothing to do with him.’’

  ‘’ thats what you think, but we know he is responsible to your downfall.’’

  ‘’ my downfall? What are you talking about mom are you insane?’’

  What rubbish are they are talking about?

  ‘’ mind your tongue Scarlet, she is your mom.’’

  ‘’ your mind yours Abigail, I aint lecturing you to stay away from the most important person in your life, so don’t be my mom , don’t try to boss me you aint getting a single piece of it.’’

  ‘’ whatever scarlet! , I told you so mom.’’ she got up from her seat and was about to leave.

  “told what?’’ anger building in me as I gathered my words .

  ‘’ that you are not going to give up on your precious boy, that no matter how hard we try you are blind to see your downfall.’’

  ‘’ screw you and the damn downfall. You folks are nuts just leave me alone.’’ I got up from my seat and started to walk towards my room, mom did tried to touch me but I shrug her and moved fast to my room and slammed the door. It was quiet I could hear my breathing , they didn’t spoke a word about it afterwards, and they didn’t tried to come into my room either. They better not cause I’m going to kill them if they do . how in earth did they got those ideas? Why they jump into such conclusions? I don’t understand I just don’t. how can he be responsible to any of this? My grades and gosh why? Whats wrong with mom?

  We didn’t had any conversations for a week or so , slowly they began to talk to me and I became to be okay with it, I cant forgive them for ever thinking about separating me and my boy. We did talked the whole week like we always do. And our bond got stronger and stronger. I don’t see him as the slightest reason for my downfall but I see my own family the major and the only reason for my downfall if there is a downfall. Screw that word!

  Another week went by and things were as calm as they were. So we got into this discussion when Annabelle and Abigail made a group chat on google hangouts and invited me to it.

  Scarlet; hey annabelle whats this about?

  Annabelle ; a group to discuss some important matter with you both.

  Scarlet ; with me and my sister?

  Annabelle ; it is me and abigail for you.

  Scarlet ‘; oh okay, so what do you wanna know about me that you already not known or whatcha wanna advice me about?

  Annabelle ; you need to stay out from Pathum, we think he is just not the right person for you, getting rid of him is the best thing you can do for your well being. don’t get mad just try to see our reasoning. Just give room and clearly observe these things we have to say for you. don’t let emotions control you , if you let your emotions be the master you shall soon face a huge crisis. Something your whole life couldn’t turn around, and we don’t want that to happen for you.

  Scarlet ; oh Annabelle don’t even start this conversation. It will not end on good terms, mom and sis tried before and the damage has not slowed down yet. You trying to take me out of his life is just a risk, you don’t wanna mess with it don’t ever think I will listen to your preaching . don’t ever. This is a useless conversation, lets just leave.

  Annabelle ; you are in love with him scarlet .

  Scarlet ; so ?

  Abigail ; so you are blind, blind to see the truth .

  Scarlet ; what truth?

  Abigail ; that he is just an toxic person to you, he is toxic to everyone around him. We need to get rid of him now before he causes load of troubles, he is the reason you are loosing your sleep, your grades, your faith and your whole life. Just try to understand us, we don’t wanna cause any harm to you, we love you from the bottom of ours hearts and there is no joy in seeing you break apart we just wanna help you out and rescue you from a irreversible downfall. Join us and see the truth to yourself, you know nothig about this boy, he is miles away from you , he could be cheating you, he could be doing anything and he would lie to you, but you don’t know that, he don’t let you sleep 8 hours he always keep talking and don’t even let you have a proper sleep. Your grades are down and thats all because of him, you have focused more on him rather than studies. You see now your downfall?

  Scarlet ; you guys are wrong about him, you guys have misunderstood him, he is not an toxic person he is a good person and he is not a liar. He speaks the truth. I believe him and I trust him. Trust him than anyone else.

  Abigail ; he need to grow up , look at the way he behaves, he is so childish too worried about things and cant even handle a single thing, he needs some attention. He is like a baby, crying and acting like a 10 year old, he is too sensitive and gosh look he doesnt even look attractive, he is just useless.

  Scarlet ; stop this.

  Annabelle ; listen to us, please

  Scarlet ; any of you say one more word about him, it will be the last time we would talk, I can easily forget that I had two sisters, easily. So lets end this here and don’t ever talk about him in this way, ever.

  They didn’t talked much afterwards , I left the group and deleted the messages. I had to forget all what they said. Everything they said are false. Freak them all. God please help me cope with this . how could my sister say such things about him, she is such a rude person , my boy doesnt deserve to be treated like that.

  Please lord hear my prayers, please show them the true reality of Pathum. Please tell them the truth convince them the reality.

  Amen!

  I told him everything later that night, it was painful but I didn’t mentioned everything they said about him, he would get so hurt , heck I wont let him be hurt, no god I cant allow that to happen.
