97 Punishment part one

to enjoy the Spring weather Althea took her mother for a walk outside the house it's been long since her mother been outside so she thought that it's a good idea now that the weather is a warmer

" it's good that you decided to take her out " Jan spoke

" yes though I had a difficult time to convince her, " Althea said letting out a tired sigh

noticing that her friend was in a bad mood Jan came to sit beside her " what's wrong Althea you seem bothered " Jan asked

" it's nothing Important don't worry " Althea replied smiling at her friend

eyeing her closely Jan could tell that she was telling the truth " you are lying Althea, now tell me what happened, wait don't tell that... " Jan paused for a minute before she continued " something happened between you and the lord am I right "

" It scares me that you always read me like an open book, " Althea said as she looked at her mother to check on her

" yes something happened, " Althea said confirming her friend thoughts

" and speak Althea or I will throw you in the river " Jan spoke getting impatient with her friend

Althea laughed lightly before she spoke "I don't how to say it " Althea spoke teasing her friend

" I will throw in the river Althea " Jan threatened her

" Alright alright I will tell, I slapped the same maid again and he saw that so he thinks that my behavior is not proper and that's it " Althea spoke making her friend sigh in frustration

" you know what you always took love for granted and now that fall in love you still act foolishly believe me Althea the pain of losing the one you love is far greater than you think, " Jan said feeling disappointed with her friend

" no you are wrong Jan I never took anything for granted " Althea paused as she looked at her mother " and yes losing the one we love is very painful but she is the most important thing to me and I know if lost her I won't be able to love anyone else " Althea words made her friend more frustrated

" are saying that you don't love him and he means nothing to you I'm sorry Althea but you are being the hypocrite you cannot just deny the truth " Jan spoke being more honest with her friend

" I'm not besides you know that him and I are two different and who do think this will end with happy ever after, no matter how happy I'm with him we could never be together they are too many obstacles that we cannot pass so it's a matter of time for him to realize that " Althea spoke with a sad tone which couldn't hide

" obstacles that he is willing to cross for you Althea, don't you think that you are being selfish not wanting to sacrifice anything? " Jan asked

" I don't know Jan let's not talk about this anymore," Althea said as she stood up from her place walking to her mother side

" I hope you won't regret your words someday " Jan mumbled to herself as she followed her friend
