God of Milfs: The Gods Request Me To Make a Milf Harem - Chapter 190

Chapter 190: A Cruel Society
“Well, to our surprise, after that rumour that me and Olivia were supposedly dating was spread around to everyone, the boys that used to pester us non-stop with their annoying words and proposals stopped approaching, and even started avoiding us like the plague for some reason.” My mother continued on with her story. “From that week onwards, the boys in our university simply kept their distance from us and never tried to interact with us again, other than stare at us and gossip in a low voice while looking at us with lowly looks in their eyes whenever we entered a room.”

“After some asking around, both of us found out that the guys in our college started to treat us as ‘impure’ and ‘disgraceful women’ who didn’t follow the usual traditions and went along a ‘different’ route compared to the norm.” She said, which once again resembled the past age on Earth where open sexuality was not looked upon kindly and was often disdained like they were the scum of society. “They treated us like we were filth that could not be touched since they thought we actually loved one another and didn’t want to associate with us since they also didn’t want to have a partner that preferred women, which actually worked out in our favour since they stopped bothering us for the first time since entering university.”

“Even though we got nasty looks wherever we went on campus and always had some kind of disgusting gossip surrounding us, me and Olivia ignored all that and enjoyed our peaceful life where we weren’t always pestered or peer pressured into getting into a relationship since society had already deemed us as a lost cause…” My mother rolled her eyes at the ones who spoke badly about her in the past, like she couldn’t even give a rats shit about their opinion, showing that even though she may act childish, she was still a strong and proud woman at heart who wasn’t afraid to stand up for what she believed in. “And after that, we forgot about trying to convince everyone that the rumours were false since it was a blessing in disguise and just went along with it, even going as far as to go to some public places and acting as if we were actually couples to piss some people off, which was always so fun to do and see the vexed look on their faces.”

“Of course Olivia wasn’t a big fan of it and thought it was tedious, but I always dragged her along to have some fun and get back for what those same guys did in the past.” My mother said with a mischievous look on her face, as I could already picture her acting all close and loving with Olivia, just to irritate some guys watching.

“This fake relationship was going all fine, and we were living our best lives…that is, until we left college, where it took a turn for the worst…” By mother’s face, which had been bright until now, suddenly went dull, as did her voice, as she stared at the wall in a daze. “We had thought that we could live our whole lives like this and live together with one another for the rest of our lives as a fake couple, so that we didn’t have to face the same problems that all the women of this world faced everyday…But we actually didn’t know how ignorant we were at that moment, as we came to know that peer pressure from university and from society as a whole were two different things.”

“Let me guess…You thought that it would be the same as university, where boys simply gossiped about you and made crude remakes behind your back once you stepped into the working world. But in actuality, it was much more harsh than you expected, to the extent that you were ostracised by everyone you interacted with, whether they were your colleagues, employees, partners, employers, or even the people at your local convenience store.”

I said, figuring out the crux of the matter as to why this little plan of theirs wouldn’t work for the long run and was probably also the main reason other women didn’t do the same, even though it sounded so simple and easy to do.

“You were probably fine with it when only a bunch of unruly men, whom you despised, looked at you both in contempt…But once the whole world and everyone living in it started looking at you with the same gaze, you started to hesitate and wonder if this fake-relationship of yours was really worth getting outcasted by society.”

“Wow, Kafi~ You’re explaining what happened so perfectly, almost as if you saw us going through all that abuse yourself~” My mother said in amazement, not expecting me to have so much awareness about how the current world works.

But it wasn’t really surprising that I knew of such things, as it was common back on Earth as well, where only the bravest souls would be able to pursue their passions that would make everyone look at them differently because they were different from the norm, while the rest simply put away their exotic interests into the back of their minds, fearing the backlash they would get from everyone else for following something that everyone thought was outlandish.

“It’s just like you said, Kafi, and after a year of living together and working after we left university, we were honestly tired of all the silent abuse and underlying hatred we had to go through every day and had thoughts of breaking off our fake relationship to get some peace of mind, when we had made the relationship just because we wanted to be left alone in the first place.” My mother smiled at how ironic her situation was back then. “But at the same time we had gotten used to living with one another and having each other’s back, so we didn’t really want to seperate and go our own ways, as we knew that was a bad end in its own way.”

“Wait, does that mean you had no interest in getting a partner at all and were planning on spending your entire lives with one another, even though you were just best friends and nothing more than that?” I asked, as I simply couldn’t believe they would be making such big decisions without thinking about topics like love and relationships, wondering if they actually did have feelings for one another that they didn’t notice.
