A MAZE OF GREED

"Don't stop, Ruth. Run, run!" Thea yelled again while moving her hands. Before Edwin turned her around and got a chance to see her face, Ruth pulled her hand up and jabbed his nose. Edwin wailed in pain as he felt his nose go numb with pain. Instinctively he freed Ruth to cover his nose with both hands. He bent over a little as his eyes watered because of pain. "You!" He hissed in anger as he leapt again for Ruth. But she managed to run before he could catch her again. Her head turned around in shock when Edwin's hand tore her dress when he tried to grab her. It also surprised Edwin as he had not intended for this to happen. He looked up from the piece of cloth in his hand to see gorgeous hazel eyes. He stood rooted to his spot as his mind went blank. Ruth managed to get out of the property and ran with Thea without looking back. The guard came panting, but Edwin didn't notice him as his eyes were still trained on the gap in the wall, through which Ruth escaped. He slowly looked at the brown fabric in his hand, and the image of those alluring hazel eyes flashed in his mind. He clutched the fabric tightly in his hand, and the word left his lips in a whisper.

WAIT UNTILL THEY KNOW WHO I AM!

Lester returned home at the time of dusk when the sky was decorated in pretty shades of pink and purple. His mother ran to him as soon as she saw him walking in her way.

She hugged his son, closing her eyes.

"Oh Lester! Son! Where were you? We were looking for you everywhere. Do you know how worried I was?"

Lester pulled away to see his mother's frightened face and moistened eyes. Looking closely at her, he realised how the age had begun to show its signs on her face. In these past days, the lines on her face had grown by an inch, and her eyes looked tired.

His heart was saddened thinking about his parents. They were worried about him. They did everything in their capacity to talk to him and make him feel better.

Lester recalled the times he had told his parents to leave him alone and was rude and ignorant towards their efforts. How they had been hurt, he didn't want to imagine that.

He again hugged his mother and smiled, feeling fortunate to have such supportive parents.
