Lady Akeshia assisted Ruth to warm herself up. The both of them were shocked by the incident that had just happened. 

Purist who heard the romours from the ladies who were at the hallway decided to approach them and ask them but they were all silent. She decided to go straight to Ruth's room. 

" What happened to you mama? I hope you are fine. I just can't help but try to understand why you look shaken. Has my Dad done anything wrong to you?" Asked Purist out of curiosity.

" Nothing Purist. You should go back to your room. Your Papa will get angry if he finds out that you came here. Both of us will not be able to handle the situation" said Ruth who seemed a bit serious. 

" And why not? Are you not my mother? Why do we always not live like the other families. Why does this kind of thing seems hard on this side of our lives?  I hate it. I hate it that my parents usually distant themselves away from me.  And I hate you too for not always taking me as your daughter"

" But I do love you as my..."

" No you don't. You are too selfish and you only care about yourself. You only care about those things which make you be. I do not really think that you have ever cares about us. Because you married my father out of your all selfish gains as well" said Purist crying. 

" You are totally wrong Purist. I not only love you but I treasure you as the only daughter that I have. What if your father is the worst one? What if you are just telling me all this because you think that your father is perfect? You cannot make me live this kind of life where I feel I am the worst. And that is the main reason why I am going to pack my things and leave this closed gates. It's all what all of you have ever wanted and that's the main reason why you made my life totally miserable" said Ruth angrily. 

She opened the closet which were full of her array of clothes. She opened her suitcase and tried packing them no matter how much Lady Akeshia tried to stop her. She did not really want to retrieve from her decision. 

This was a time that she felt like she needed to be a child once more. She needed to be under the authority of her own parents and not the authority of the family that she has suddenly created. 

Purist left the room out of frustruation. Indeed she admitted that she shouted at Ruth, but she did not want her to leave. She had become fond of her and it was almost like Ruth was replacing her mother in her life. 

Martin who had already left the study after soul searching came back to the room and was surprised to see Ruth packing her clothes happily. 

There was no trace of sadness in her eyes. 

He held Ruth's arm and stopped her from packing her clothes. He immediately signalled Lady Akeshia to leave. Ruth seemed angrier than Martin has ever seen her. 

" I just want to be away for a little while. Yes they say I am selfish . I am always selfish and maybe that is all what I will ever be. But I did not marry you for my own selfish gains. I indeed loved you" said Ruth crying. 

Martin hugged her passionately and tried to beg her not to leave. 

What was she going to do?

She loved Martin too.

MARRIED AT SIXTEEN.
