#StumblingTrueLove

As the father walks away, most of the black dressed visitors leave. Some shedding tears. Some consoling them. Some just sighing sadly. "Orla" A young man wearing an engagement ring spoke in his heart "I will keep my promise and take care of Ben. You just rest in peace". Then he looks at his ring and to the tomb stone that said "Orla Bowie". He then looks at another young man who was standing a little afar under a tree. Benette Worley. The pain in his heart is clearly visible in his dry eyes. "Mr. Oaks" a soft voice shivering with old age "Mr. Bowie wants you at the Main House". "Tell the driver to stay back" he instructs the old house maid "For Ben". She simply gives a nod of agreement and then sadly looks at the sad young figure. She walks up to him. "Master Worley" she calls him as gently as she can, not to hurt him "I think it's time to head back home". He shifts his lifeless eyes from her grave to the maid. "Just go" he almost whispered in a haggard voice "leave me be". She simply bowed and left.She asked the family driver to stay back for Ben, who was the only one now still standing at Orla Bowie's grave. As the sun yawned dusk into the horizon, he fell unconscious into the mud. The driver who had been watching as he waited, ran to the young man. He checked him and His eyes were half open. But they held not even a bit of consciousness. Driver slowly lifts him with an arm over his shoulder. And barely manages to drag him to the car. He then fixed him into the car and shuts the door.

As soon as they arrived at the Worley's house he asks for one of the servants to help him carry the young man to his room on the first floor. They tried to gently place him on the bed but ended up almost pushing him on to it. As the maids who saw him being dragged informed his mother, the Honey brown haired woman rushes to her son's room. "What happened?" She was confused. "He stood there watching lady Orla's grave" the driver informed "until he fainted". She checked her son's temperature and found him burning. And a glance at his eyes. "Fainted?" She asked "but his eyes are open!". "Sometimes" the driver says "our minds may be strong. But hearts can be very complicated. If they give up reality, it doesn't matter if your mind is conscious". He then bows and turns to leave. "Tell the Bowies" she pleads in tears "to not worry about him for a while. Ben needs some break to heal himself. And anyone and anything that reminds him of Orla would have the opposite effect". He leaves understanding her desperate and depressed heart.

"Remove everything and anything that might remind him of her" she orders the maids "don't leave a single thing. Pack them all and leave them in the storage". "Understood ma'm" one of the maids said. She then walks out thinking "may be a doctor could help". As soon as she leaves three more maids who were standing by at the door walk in to start their work. Their chief who is in her 60s shows them "this" what they need to pack "these and these". They take about a few hours before taking out everything. As the maids carry the last of the boxes, Mrs.Worley comes back to check. "Remove those paintings" she orders them "and everything. Replace them all. Including his wardrobe. When he wakes up let him see everything new". Chief maid simply nods her head. The youngest of the maids who carried the last box to the storage stops her senior. "Rose" she whispers to her senior at work in the Worley house "Why change everything?". "Are you that clueless, Mary?" Rose asks "can't you guess with the series of events since you came?". "Series of events!?" Mary wondered "since I came it was young master's Birthday, then his friend Lady Orla's engagement and then She died in an accident. From what...
