       Episode- 176  “I can’t take you with me”     Alisa’s POV:      I found the mansion empty, I walked to my room and sat on the couch, I couldn’t help but cried… I sobbed as I said, “I… am ….sorry *sobs* I couldn’t… help you Ruth………… I am so sorry.” I don’t know why is everything is  going wrong… I just don’t understand why all of this has to happen….    After few hours I was disturbed by the door opening… I turned to see Edwin, he looks tired, stress worried,,, most importantly he looks sad…    He hugs me and said, “You are fine?... I was worried.. just don’t cry..” I sobbed in his arms.. he hugged me more tight…   I said, “Mom think, because of me she died... *sobs* I never want this Edwin… she was my sister.”   He patted my head and said, “I know… I believe in you… you are not responsible for this… I know very well..”      He parted from me and said, “I need to discuss something… I know you need time.. but this is really urgent…come with me..” I was confused but worried.. he guided me to living room where Ken was already arranging some documents….   I looked at Edwin with confusion and asked, “Edwin,,, what is it?” I was scared at this point..    Edwin made me sit and sat on his both knees taking my both hand in his, he looked down as if he was thinking something, something was troubling him, his face shows that… he looked at Ken and Ken looked away… I feel this weird sadness in the air…     I asked, “Edwin… tell me?... I am scared..”    Edwin sat beside me and said, “Alisa…. I need to go… somewhere I belong.. I am just worried, I have lost of responsibilities and I am worried about people I love … I need to take care of all these..”     Edwin turned to me and said, “I love you… more than myself… but I can’t take you with me…..”     Edwin’s POV:                              I turned to her and said, “I love you… more than myself… but I can’t take you with me…..” I see her confusing but I can sense her fear, I know this is not the right time… but I need to do it now… I can’t take her with me… I don’t want her to be in my problems… my mom, dad and I are blood related to this situation, we can’t run,,,, but she can… Alisa can run… if it is the only way I can keep her safe then let it be….    I said, “Alisa… I have arranged divorce papers… please sign it… I promise it’s for just few months, as soon as I insure everything is safe for you to be with me… I will come back to you,.. everything would the way it should,,, I will marry you again… I don’t want to be reason for your  death or harm… I can’t tell you exact detail of the situation… but please understand and sign these papers..”     I saw her tears roll, she slapped me…I didn’t stopped her I know I deserve it… Ken was surprised, I tried to touch her hand to speak further but she slapped me again pushing me away from her….    I looked at her as her eyes are red, her tears are not stopping… she said, “How are you this shameless!!!.... you are asking me for divorce without giving me a reason… I thought everything was fine between us, I thought when they hate me I can come to you….. but you are throwing me away… and you are saying it’s for my own safety?… you said you want time… I gave you thinking you will tell me why are hiding something…. What are you hiding.. I was a fool to believe a person like you…”     I tried to explain, “Little dove… I understand what are you feeling… but please understand I don’t want you to have any documented relation of us,… so they can’t drag you in this mess… so you could be safe, they won’t harm you if they somehow find anything about you… the divorce will insure that I am not connected to you and they won’t try to pressure me with it… but believe me… I will try to keep all this secret but still I am trying to take precautions.. I can’t lose you.. ”
