A Moment to Worry
He woke up and saw Scarlet was dressing herself in a green dress. Her hair was finely pulled up into a messy bun after shower. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was not so happy about that dress. She changed into another dress and she was not happy again. She stared at the closet for a moment and decided to wear a jeans and a casual t-shirt on top. Jim stretched and got down from bed and grabbed her from the back and nibbled on her ears. She giggled and whispered, "someone is in mood early in the morning I guess".
"No. I saw you changing into two different dresses before fixing into this one and thought maybe I can give you a motivating hug for you to continue the day since you have trouble in picking an outfit itself".
Scarlet freed herself from his embrace and walked towards the mirror and pointed at her chest mumbling "those dresses are too loose for me. It used to be good fit for me. Now they are loose. I have grown thinner I guess". Jim sighed and walked towards Scarlet and hugged her from the back. He caressed her head and pulled out the chair from the dresser and gestured her to sit. Scarlet smiled brightly at him guessing what he was about to do.
"Ever since we opened the book shop, you are way too busy. Rarely even have time for me".
Scarlet squeezed in her sit and turned at Jim and smirked, "That's not true. I prepare dinner as usual. I still do whatever I do like last time. It is you who are busy earning".
"No. What I am trying to say is that; you are busy and you have been neglecting your food while busy entertaining your customers."
"Okay. In a nutshell?"
"In a nutshell, eat properly my love."
Scarlet nodded in agreement and grabbed her hair brush when Jim grabbed it away from her hand. He leaned in and kissed her neck. Scarlet sat straight as he brushed her hair. Jim constantly looked at her in the mirror while combing her hair. Her hair fell on her shoulders perfectly into small messy waves. She reached to Jim to clean the hair brush and Jim refused to and cleaned it by himself. Scarlet kissed him on the cheeks and rushed out.
"Baby its still way too early to open the shop".
"I know Jim Darling. But the suppliers are coming early to send the books. I have to go now", Scarlet replied while buckling her shoes and walked straight down the stairs.
Jim stood there looking at Scarlet's suddenly too thin figure. Jim could not stop thinking about her. He knew something was wrong. He brushed her hair just now and too much hair was dropping off her scalp. Almost a handful. Jim have always loved Scarlet's hair and it is now dropping more than the usual amount.
Jim got ready and left to work. He could not focus on his accounts. His auditor was constantly going in and out of his room checking on the calculations. It was lunch time finally. He sat down and googled the causes of hair and weight loss. A few feed suggested that it was due to stress and tension until one article caught his eyes. Severe hair and weight loss, pale lips sometimes, swollen lymph nodes and exhaustion. All of these symptoms seemed very familiar to Jim. It was exhibited by his own love, Scarlet. Jim was very worried. He sat and thought for a while on what he should do next. He decided not to assume things on his own.
He read the entire article and he was totally convinced that Scarlet was having some serious disease. He tried to remain calm and positive. Suddenly, he remembered a friend of him who was in medical line. He quickly wrote a long message and sent to his friend for further guidance. Jim sat there staring at the article. All of a sudden, tears were streaming down his cheeks thinking of all the wonderful times he had shared with Scarlet.
