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.

HER GUIDE, PHILOSOPHER-1

"Do you know what is more difficult than losing your loved ones?" Edwin asked.

Ruth shook her head, looking at his handsome face. He turned to match her gaze and said, "staying away from the ones you love!"

The intensity of his burning gaze and the genuineness of his words had Ruth gasping for more air. She felt a shiver ran down her spine as she looked into his beautiful eyes.

"But you have to endure that pain, Miss Moore. Because life and time do not stop for anyone. People come into our lives to play certain roles. Some teach us, while some punish us. But they all leave memories behind.

And that is the reason why you should not give up on your life. Their memories! After people leave this mortal world what can be the best way of paying them a tribute by cherishing their memories in your heart?"

Sucking a deep breath, Ruth tore her gaze from his. "And what about the pain? It does not let you move on. It keeps you dragging down till you fall."
