Charles POV:
I was becoming more and more impressed with my own eloquence. I could always find some reason or excuse that Scarlett couldn’t refute.
I was so happy to see that she was rendered speechless.
“Okay. I will just think of it as your concern for me because of the elders. Now that I am fine shouldn’t you go and see Rita? Even if it’s just a headache or a cold the doctor would forbid the patient from drinking. She has advanced liver cancer and she secretly went to drink yesterday. Did she do it because you did not give her much care lately? Was she drinking to retrieve her sorrows perhaps?” Scarlett said after a moment of silence.
My expression darkened all of a sudden, and I could not believe what I had just heard.
“Are you sure?”
“Abner saw with his own eyes yesterday. How could it not be true?”
“Do you have any evidence?” I couldn’t believe her because Rita’s condition did not allow her to consume alcohol. Moreover I believe that she would not risk her own life over a drink.
“Do you want me to show you photos as evidence. I am not that jobless and I am not I like Rita to spy on people. Abner just happened to see her there and he called me out of concern, but if you really want that truth then you can ask your sweetheart or run and investigation yourself I believe that it will be a cake walk for you to find out the truth.”
I did not talk about it anymore but I had already made up to my mind to look into it.
Rita’s POV
At around 3 in the afternoon at the hospital, I woke up and saw Charles walking into the room as he pushed the door open.
I had been looking forward to seeing him so much that when he came my joy knew no bounds.
Charles still loves me.
“Charles!”
I realised that something was wrong the moment I called out his name. He was approaching me with a deep look in his eyes which indicated that he had only come there to question me.
Subconsciously I tightly grasped the blanket, begin to panic and felt like something bad was about to happen.
‘Did he find out something! No no that can’t be possible. I was very discrete and he could not have found out about it so soon.’
“Did you secretly go out to drink?” Charles got straight to the point as he stood next to my bed.
“What”
Startled I understood that he must have found out that I had bean drinking.
Just when I was about to explain to him my mom walked in with a bowl of fruit and stood before me.
“Charles did you hear something from others? Rita is in poor health, why would she drink secretly in her condition?”
“I want to listen to her explanation” Charles suddenly yelled as he look at me coldly.
Startled by his reaction I had a no choice but to use the oldest trick in the book which was to cry.
“Charles I did it all because of you don’t you know that?”
“You did it because of me?”
“Yeah I did it because you made me loose hope. You are the one that makes me feel like I will never have a wedding before I am dead. Charles I am tired. I am really tired of seeing you shuttling between two women. I am so exhausted that I don’t even want to go on like this… I just don’t…” Looking at him I cried.
“You better pray that I don’t find out that you lied.”
“Do you really think that I am lying to you? At the cost of my own life? Since when do you not believe my words? You won’t trust me till I die, right?” I cried out, pretending to be aggrieved.
Charles was making me feel very desperate. Back then he was different. He used to be so gentle and caring. But now he would not even believe my words.
Though he was standing right in front of me I felt like his heart had drifted farther away from mine. It almost felt like he was going to leave me at any time now.
Charles stood still and glanced at me like an emotionless cold blooded animal. He then turned around and left without saying anything.
“Charles, are you going to marry me or not?” When I saw that, I move the blanket away and ran up to him hugging him from behind.
However he did not answer me at all.
“Charles what’s happening to us? Didn’t you promised that you will marry me? Why is everything changed all of a sudden? I am really scared because I may not be able to wait for two long. Charles tell me, what can I do to make you change your mind. Please… just tell me….” With teary eyes I looked up at him and asked. I prayed that he would look at me too, even if it was just a glance. It was the only way in which I would not end up feeling like a fool.
“Rita… don’t be that… The doctor says that you can’t have any more stress now. If anything happens to you then what am I to do.” Noticing Charles indifference my mom came up to me to help me.
“She knelt on the ground held on to his legs and pleaded. “Charles show mercy to Rita, okay? The doctor said that she should not be sad, so please just promise her. I am begging you. She can’t keep holding on like this. Please have mercy on a poor mother and full fill her daughters last wish.” My mother burst into tears.
I held Charles’ arm tighter and tighter as though I was afraid that I was going to lose him for good.
That was when I realised that my beautiful act was not helping at all.
Charles heart had been drifting towards Scarlett for a while now and I could not even feel his love anymore. Everything was going out of control which was too bad for me.
As expected Charles shook off my hand and left the ward without looking back.
I was in a daze.
Looking at his residing back, my mother shouted at me, “Rita, why did you go to the bar? If anyone find out that..”
Her fear did not let her finish what she wanted to say.
If Charles new that I had recovered he would not feel guilty and would feel more determined to leave me. And if that happened to lose completely.
“Are you crazy? How can you go out to drink now. What if he finds out the truth.” Mom made sure that no one was around.
“Mom, if he never marries me then do I have to keep eating the shitty health food for the rest of my life? Mom I can’t stand it. I can’t do this any more… I am going crazy”. Unwilling to give up I burst into tears, but there was nothing that I could do now.
The helplessness was so maddening.
I didn’t understand. Scarlett had just came back for a few months and she had managed to shake Charles’ love for me. He had been promising to marry me but ever since she came he had changed his mind.
How could I even call it love if that was all it took to destroy it.
Seeing that I was crying bitterly, my mum held me in her arms, gently batted my back and comforted me, “Don’t worry. Things won’t go that way. We have done so much. We will get what we want. Just promise me that what happened today won’t happen again.”
“I won’t be reckless anymore, I promise.” I said to her firmly.
