"Harriet Get downstairs Now,and do not think of putting on that dress you are wearing"My mother Said

"Mother I had no intention on going in the first place so I wear this or not living at all"I replied"You better get in now!!!!!"She yelled Coming down the stairs I saw Stephen Mario Dressed in a black slacks Button down Shirt paired With a black blazer one will immediately address him as a responsible young man

"I will leave you guys together "mother said walking away . Staring mutely I heard "You do not speak or what?! I'm Stephen"He said Arrogantly I kept Silent

ignoring me he headed to his car as I followed slowly behind not Suprised by his Character as he didn't even attempt to open the Car door for me

Heading To the Door

"Hey! I do not want to be mistaken for a driver come forward " I didn't reply Still "Are you okay ,or psych Are your parents trying to hook me up with a dumb girl or what I am a man of Class you should be glad I accepted to go on a date or get my Car"He said arrogantly . Giving him a shocked Expression "Do not have Respect For women"I asked

"Respect psst you think so high of yourself been a Philps you truly Sound Db Can we get this over with "He said

Looking towards the direction I opened the car door and headed to the house

"Woman Get back here"He yelled after me

"Until you learn how to properly address a woman I do not want to see you Any where near me"I replied going back into the house"Back so early Harriet" I heard mother say Planning on ignoring and her I headed towards my room But Stephen Rushed in "Ma'am Harriet refused to go on a date "He said poiletly I was beyond Shocked by how one Could have a different personality he acted like a mature young man infornt of elders but with other prescisely me he acted like an egostical Rude proud man .

"Harriet"Mother said Warning

"I---he---"I was interrupted

"Ma'am Harriet Insulted me Calling me names "He lied bluntly

"I didn't "Repling shocked

"Harriet I will not repeat my Self I have had enough of you Character and I would not Take it anymore you engagement is In three weeks time "I heard Father Say walking down the Stairs

"I have heard enough been classified as a lunatic I accept okay but I will not be marrying this egostical jerk I C--an't Za---ckkk pr---omise-d m-e I w--as hi--s he al--so sa-id we will have c--hild--ren m--o--ther"I asked

Nodding my head I could feel the panic attacks "He said we were one ,one!!!!No one could separate us but you wouldn't Care Right that was all you wanted Caring about your Reputation and Status it always been about you no one else not even your daughter I never felt your love then boom an arranged marriage to your partner of course I would not be Surprised After all you always pleased your friend before you thought about me Do you know what it means what I passed through each day the memories been mute wasn't because I liked it but because I needed to feel at peace with my self " I said breathing Heavily

As I ran upstairs "Harriet Get back Here"I heard.

Opening The room door I laid on the door and rested on it Finally I had to let it go the heavy burden .I dialled my therapist I need to book my Appointment I felt like losing it

"Hello"I called

"Harriet How are you doing ?Do you need anything?"Miss Roseline My Therapist Asked"I need a session"I replied "Okay FaceTime as usual or physically "She asked.I needed to overcome my Fear I will have to do this "Physically " I replied

"wow What an achievement Harriet I'm Expecting You soon "She said

"Okay bye" I replied

Dressed in my usual baggy trousers and shirt I picked up my bag and phone heading out , At the doorstep "I hope you are not trying Anything Drastic cause your Fiancee Stephen Mario Will not like that "Mother Said

I knew she was basically Taunting me all she wanted was letting me know that she never loses a battle and will not be losing this.Taking a sharp intake of breath I shut the door Closed without giving a reply I didn't intend to exchange words with her .

Heading to the parking lot my driver Drove Straight to the the hospital

"Good afternoon I'm Harriet Charlie"I said I never used the name Philps in the hospital as I was avoiding publicity and my parents complaining of their Reputation

"Okay ma'am miss Roseline awaits you "Said the receptionist

I entered the to room "Welcome Harriet how have you been ?"She said

"I'm fine Roseline " I replied

"I'm so glad you took this very bold step"She said

Nodding my head I sat down

"Let's begin "She said

"How have you been Still having Flashbacks "She asked

Nodding my head in reply

"The incident took place Four Years ago do you still blame yourself"She asked

Nodding again

"Harriet I know you already taken a bold step Coming physically but I need communication ,you been mute isn't going to help in progress I know it's a lot but I have been your therapist for four years we should have passed this stage"She said

"So I am asking you Few questions I need your view on this Four years back I incident took place and you Claim to have been at fault Back then I need to know how you feel and also tell me why You think you believe you caused the incident back then"She said

Memories Flooding my mind .

This Therapy was going to be an Eventful one I had to be Strong
