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.

DO NOT MIND HER!

The rest of the day passed in peace. Ruth kept herself engaged with Ida and the newly wedded couple. She avoided confrontation with Mrs Payne and, kept her distance from Edwin.

He knew something was terribly wrong with her. But if she wanted some space, then he was ready to give it to her, no matter how it troubled him.

The joy was over and, now came the phase of emotional farewell. Mrs Green's eyes had not stopped tearing up and, Mr Green was putting up a tough face even though he was afraid that now he could not see his angel's smiling face every morning and the night after he returned home from the work.

Now his home would not be ringed with his nightingale's chirping. Now he would not need to find a middle ground between his wife and daughter's bickering. Now he would not have to deal with her stubbornness.

And that was breaking his heart piece by piece.

"Ida?"

"Hmm?"
