You can just threaten to that boy that he can go behind the prison if I(Ridhima) go to the police. So boy might step back his decision.

The advice is ridiculous. Since both of them are adults,no one can stop their relationship legally.The only thing that can stop them is social ostracism.You must contact your relatives and wellwishers and spill the beans.But at the same time you must realize that as a not so old widow, your mother needs a companion. Let all of you find a suitable life partner for her ,treating this incident as distress signal from her.

I second Eskay's advice. Your mother is at a phase where she needs companionship. Make her understand that you care for her and want her to be happy. Make her understand that the boy won't stick around for long and what this would end up as. Convince her for second marriage.

Ignore them and concentrate on studies right now,. Your mum will come back to senses once she crosses the bridge...Try to understand --- your father is died some years back, she is physically and mentally strained /stressed up. Let her relax, if it is through the boy she is getting that releif and relax. Just be out and ignore... It is a PASSOVER or CROSSOVER for your mum... She will come to senses. Sudden death of your father made her unfilled and unsatisfied.. Your are young dear riddhima, so you could not understand her stress and feeling.... Just ignore this issue and be normal....

Easier said than done, Ridima is at a very tender age and must be looking out for role models rather than this.But ,dears , such matters cann't be and shouldn't be swept under the carpet.Please Ridima be bold and face the situation head on ,because if left unresolved ,it will become unmanageable . As I counseled earlier ,immediately call a meeting of the elders of your family and find an amicable solution,duly appreciating the emotional status of your mother.Please stand with our mother and help her out of this quagmire. If you want to avoid the family people ,you may contact Women Help Groups of your city to sort out the matter

No eskay, i don;t agree the solution. Calling elders will make her mum put her headdown lifelong. Full family circle will insult her mum a lot. Elders will give taunting whenever they get a chance. Her mum will be embarassed and pitifully tortured and that will make her mad. Call the ladies group to solve also,,,,, like giving a nice juicy chewing gum to them . Full society and city will insult her and torture her and she will loose the face in society. Riddhima also have to face the tune like,,,,, poeple will take advantage of her saying... your mum is characterless and that will make the young girl crazy. It will block her way up in life.....

So eskay both solutions you give will make both mum and daughter life go in pieces. Fill city will insult and noone will give respect to young ridhima also. Because of her mum mistake she will be tortured..

So better ignore the situation and her mum will come around. Or tell create a rift between her mum and that boy like saying that boy is misbehaving with me OR i saw that boy with another girl in a shop. This rift will induce a fight and finally seperation.

How the old lady can beleive that her pursuit of elusive happiness can succeed through unholy and unsavory alliances of this nature. Be it known to all those of this kind that the providence is strictly against such misadventures.Such things cann't remain under wraps for long and then one fine morning ,all hell will break loose,carrying everything and everyone with it . Hence sooner the problem is faced and solved ,it will be good for everyone. Remember extraordinary situations call for extraordinary solutions. Not much is lost yet, hopefully. No situation can be retrieved by sweeping it under the carpet
