Chapter 250 - What if?

Without saying anything, Evie started walking towards her room.

" Huh, I told you it's useless." Ron said.

" Go make some coffee for me." Silvia said before walking towards Evie's room.

….

Inside Evie's room.

When Silvia entered Evie's room, she was busy packing her clothes.

" Can I help you?" Silvia said.

Giving her a weak smile, Evie said," It's fine, I'll manage."

Walking towards her, Silvia said," It's fine, I am not doing anything right now."

" Brother-in-law is not at home?" Evie asked.

Silvia nodded her head and said," He will be coming a bit late today." 

Pausing for a while, Evie asked," So how is married life?"

Silvia smiled and said," It's lovely. In fact, it's much more beautiful and lovely than I thought it would be."

Evie smiled and said," I am happy for you."

" So what is going on between you and Edward?" Silvia asked.

Evie shook her head and said," It's nothing."

" Nothing? But Ron was saying that you both dated for five years." Silvia said.

Evie nodded her head and said," Yes we did but it's over."

" Over? Then what was that? I mean what we saw, it didn't seem like it's over." Silvia said.

When Evie did not say anything, Silvia continued," Oh so it's over but you both occasionally meet up for sex?"

Evie widened her eyes in shock and said," No it's not like that. This is the first time we are meeting after our breakup."

" So you are gonna have sex with him everytime you see him?" Silvia asked.

Evie lowered her head and head kept on placing her clothes inside her suitcase.

" What if one day you come back and he doesn't want to have sex with you because he finally found someone who will have sex with him and also stay with him, love him and make him feel special? Someone who will never leave him. What will you do then?" Silvia asked.

When Evie did not say anything, Silvia asked," Regret? Cry? Feel heart broken or will you leave again?"

" It's not like-"

Cutting her off, Silvia said," Look Evie I don't want to interfere in your personal matter but I couldn't just stand and watch you do such a stupid thing. You clearly still love him and so does he. Why would you torture yourself and him like this?"

Evie sighed and said," It's not as simple as you think Sister Silvia."

" Did you ever ask your dad why can't you date him when he asked you not you? Did you even try to convince him? Did you fight for your love? Did you ever try to take his side in front of your family?" Silvia asked.

When Evie shook her head, Silvia said," Then don't you think it's a bit unfair for him? You let go of a five year relationship just like that?"

Pausing for a while, Silvia asked," Did he ever mistreat you or disrespected you?"

Evie shook her head and said," No."

" Did he ever flirt or cheat on you while you both were together?" Silvia asked.

" No."

" Did your feelings for him change? Did you stop loving him?" Silvia asked.

Evie shook her head and said," No."

" Do you still love him?" Silvia asked.

Evie lowered her head and did not say anything.

Silvia smiled and said," You don't have to say anything, your silence speaks."

Pausing for a while, Silvia said," Look Evie the path of love is never smooth okay? You have to face many ups and downs, highs and lows. All you have to do is stay together and face them but you my dear you let go of your love right after you received the first blow in your relationship. Did you once think how he must have felt? You had an option, you ran away from everything. You got yourself some alone time out of this mess to sort things out and to calm your emotions but what about him? He couldn't go anywhere because he had responsibilities. He couldn't run off like you did. Did you ever think how he must have dealt with all of this? It was a five years old relationship Evie, it's huge."

When Evie still did not say anything, Silvia sighed and said,'' I am not here to lecture you okay? I just don't want you to regret your actions later. You are not getting that strong regretful feeling now because somewhere even you know that Edward is still there for you. You know that when you come back, he will still be there waiting for you. I don't think so you realise this or not but Edward still loves you because he doesn't have any other woman in his life. For him you are one." 

Pausing for a while she continued," But what if one day another woman takes your place? What if a woman barges into his life and takes your place in his heart while you are away? What if one day you are no more important to him as you are now? What if one day he gets tired of waiting and decides to seriously move on in life. What if- You see? There are so many what ifs." 

" But what about my family? What about Dad?" Evie asked.

" Sometimes in life you have to make your own decisions. It's okay not to listen to your parents and gamble. If your decision is right then you'll be genuinely happy in life and even if you are wrong then what's the big deal? You will learn without losing anything. At least you won't regret not giving Edward and your relationship a shot, it's a win-win situation." Silvia said.

Getting up, Silvia said," I think this much love preaching is enough for the day. I just want you to be happy Evie. And I am not forcing you to go against your family or father but at least you can talk to them and try to sort things out instead of running away each and every time like a coward. Be brave and shine out girl. It's your life Evie and you have the right to live it like you want to. Remember one thing, parents are very important but in the end you will have to deal with the regrets and wrong decisions that you make in life all alone." Before walking out of the room.
