"The last couple of months have been difficult. I made a lot of mistakes but I learnt hell of things from them. I have two decisions to make and I have two choices in each matter but I'm not sure about choosing either. I'm confused but only about one thing, choosing my partner. I'm as clear as sky about the other decision. I'm just saying this because I want you to know that I've made a lot of mistakes but I'm not repeating them again. I'm gonna come to the point and tell you my decision, I'm coming with you guys"
There's hooting and fist bumping and cheering.
"- but I'm gonna come alone. I'm not choosing my partner"
"No! Choose someone your Highness" people, okay, Gods and aliens shout.
"I'm being honest with you, not everyone has the courage to admit their mistakes publicly but I'm doing that. I've already made my decision, I wanna be single"
"Don't do this your Highness, choose someone please!" They shout.
"I have my free will. I can do anything I want. Its my life okay? And I wanna live alone" I add.
"No!" More screaming.
"I've never been so happy and proud of myself. The last couple of months have taught me one thing, I gotta be true to myself and love myself the way I am. I've never been so confident of myself but now I am. I have this new strength and I'm loving it. I might be an emotional and weird teen but I know this for sure, I am capable of facing any difficulty as long as I have myself by my side"
"No!" They continue shouting.
"Life has taught me an important thing, I cannot love someone or care for someone until and unless I care for me. Self love is the biggest of all. I am self sufficient. I don't need anybody else with me. As long as I have myself my true self with me I won't need anybody else. I'm complete in myself and I wanna be like that"
"Mom no! You need someone. You need love. Look what it's absence has done to you. Don't do this to yourself" my son says.
"No son. I'm happy alone, I don't want anybody by my side"
"Mom, life is a long and tiring walk filled with difficulties, for us it's forever. You'll get tired of walking alone all the time. With someone by your side to offer you a shoulder the journey will become easier, bearable even enjoyable" Chaos says.
"No son, it won't be. If I walk with somebody's help I'll start stumbling in no time and I like walking tall"
"It isn't true. Everybody needs a companion, everybody needs love. You do too. Don't give up on love just yet, give them a chance" Chaos pleads.
"I haven't given up on love, you can give up on something that exists. Love for me just doesn't exist anymore"
"That's not true mom! I know it's still there in your heart. Don't give up. Fight for the love you deserve" Chaos says.
"I don't deserve love. Love is just a weakness and I don't want to be weak anymore. All my life I sacrificed my happiness to see my beloveds happy but they never gave a damn in the world. I don't want any kind of miseries in my life and for that, Eros has to stay away from me"
"Love is courage, it's strength not weakness, love gives us the courage to come out of our hiding place. Love heals mom. Let someone make you alive" my son says.
"I'm not alive?"
"No, you're just living. You're not alive! Let someone love you, teach you what it is to be alive, explain you the real meaning of life" my son says.
