Silenced Temptations 32- Beyond Redemption
"Lucifer. Can I ask you something?" Red said, moving her hand around his neck while standing with minimum space between them."What?" He said, finally not crying anymore."Fun aside... but, are you going to cry in the end?" She asked sincerely, wanting to know the concealed intentions behind his spellbinding gaze. "I.. honestly don't know." Lucifer replied, knowing the answer deep inside. "Are you going to miss me?" She asked again. "Of course I will, I will be alone again. I will miss you every passing moment." His words came out earnest. 'That's why, please don't go'. Lucifer wanted to tell her but couldn't'That's why, please stop me'. Red hummed, wanting to tell him but her words stopped at the edge."Red, We don't know who will cry but please I want you to know if any of us cried at the end, don't let it affect our relationship." Lucifer said desperately, holding her waist, breathless. "And what if we both cried?" Red asked, to which he replied quickly, losing his breath."T

April! Come here!" Red shouted. "What?" April asked, coming closer. "Hey, I heard you have a boyfriend. What's his name?" At that time April was dating Erich and knew it clearly their relationship won't last but she wants it to drag on for as long as she can. "It doesn't matter, Red. It's time pass." April sighed. "Why are you even in a relationship with him then? Dude, tell me once and he will be yours forever." Red said, getting up. "Oh calm down, Hercules." Parker joked, pulling her hand making her sit back down. "Hey! Let me go, before I b

It's been a few months, Erich's final exams are coming closer and he was about to bid farewell to Red but he didn't desire more. After the brief talk, Erich never dared to talk to Red again. He began to watch her from afar, not wanting anything else other than a glimpse. "How long are you going to watch her from afar? Go and talk to her, Erich." Kenny said. "No, man... I don't deserve her." Erich smiled, looking at her. "You? Her?" Kenny asked. "I mean look at her man. Isn't it an aesthetic smile? She has the world's brightness in them... Ah, guys... I think your Erich is in love." Erich said, hopelessly watching Red and was satisfied with one look, a glance. How she was talking, oblivious he is the one who sends a rose to her every day after their first meeting. Erich's friends began to laugh, "Erich and love?" "I know. I know it sounds weird but I love the sensations she gives me." Erich said, holding the rose in his hands. "Are you sure it's not an infatuation?" Zach

"Erich! Are you inside?" The door knocked. Erich managed to swallow his lump to take a reprieve from his calamity- or he thought so. Kenny called again,"Erich, come out, we are not going to spend another five years here. Do you want to fail?" His voice came angry.Erich stood up, taking a few deep breaths to put his shaking form at serene as he washed his face, eyes puffy and red from crying. Erich exhaled deeply and opened the door, wanting to hide his depression."Erich, We were waiting for you in the library. Come- Wait, What happened to you?" Kenny asked, worried about his friend."Erich, what happened?" Erich forced out a impaired smile.

"I used to watch her from afar, nothing else.""Don't tell you don't even know her last name?" "I don't.""Red Bennet."'"Are you trying to blackmail me?" He asked, ignoring that he literally knew nothing about Red. "Yes. Make me your shrink or else I will tell Red about you." April threatened."Why are you not getting it, April? I want to stay away from Red. I don't love her." Erich said exasperatedly, exhausted from inside by his emotions."Because you know once everything starts you can't go back."'What else could it be?' Erich thought. "And You have two days to think about it."April gave him her usual smirk and left as Erich cursed under his breath, knowing he is stuck in a very undesirable situation, not wanting to be a bad guy on Red's side, Erich agreed.It was their first therapy session and Erich's fury was emitting from him. Growling at his condition where he is stuck with April who was smirking at his pathetic self."I thought you considered Red your friend.""First, S

Back to the present which is actually past from knowing how Erich knows Red and why he doesn't meet her, why is it not love. The string to keep them in place is getting weaker by each passing second as his emotions are getting stronger. Back to Red and Lucifer.Red was looking for Lucifer and found him again stargazing. He was looking at the sky as his eyes held inscrutable emotions in them which made Red worried about him. "Lucifer." Red called, coming closer and knowing enough whenever he is sad, he stargazes. Lucifer didn't reply, lost in the vast sky, surging the unnerving thoughts and emotions in his whole being. Red put her hand on his back, calling his name softly again."Lucifer." He broke his rhythm and turned to her, giving her a sad smile."Oh, Red.""Are you okay?" She asked, scrutinizing his condition. "Yeah, just idling here." "You were so busy these days. I wanted to spend time with you." Red said, looking at him, leaning on the wall. "I had some work." He replie

A year passed in an instant as the moments Red and Lucifer spent together were now about to become a memory as they might leave a deep scar along with an etched memory in their mind. When the time grew near, Lucifer began to lose his grip while Red somehow kept herself together and now Red's flight tomorrow.She wanted to see Lucifer so her heart could burst and she tells him whatever is in her heart but Lucifer has locked himself in his room. Red came and knocked on the door, calling him, "Lucifer... I am going tomorrow." Their tones were broken, unable to speak nonchalantly as the heartbreak was clear in it with the anticipation of engraving untouched emotions in their hearts which were dying to get out. "I am going tomorrow." Red said in her sorrowful voice, falling on her knees while leaning on the wall. On the other side, Lucifer was sitting on the bed, resting his back on the bed while hugging his knees, making an almost crying face. "I know." He replied in a sufferable to

Staring intensely at each other, Lucifer's breath synchronized with Red who was left with the inability to speak but still feeling the sweet affliction stirring her mind.Breathless, Lucifer leaned down, brushing his lips over her neck and began to say huskily,"Today, I am letting you go, Red. But, If we ever met in this life again. Nothing in this universe can stop you from being mine."'And I told her about the heart which was crazy about her.' Lucifer thought.And the intensity of his final words stole my strength to come back, knowing my despair will bring him nothing but destruction. Red thought, contemplating his damaged form.And with that, He took a step back as a tear fell from his eyes, gritting his teeth to contain his heartbreak.He wore his glasses to hide his tears and left her all alone at the airport and she couldn't help but to notice the tear which fell from his eye.

Silenced Temptations Last- My love resides in you
Red couldn't get his demeanour but did as told. In the evening when Erich came, Red tried to talk to him about it but he didn't tell her anything. Erich gave Red a room key and left. Perplexed, Red went to the room. The room was dim and the only source of light was the candles spread everywhere, creating an aesthetic sight while flowers embellished evermore. Enchanted, Red looked around and saw a teddy with 'I love you' written on it along with another note which told her to stand in the circle of rose petals. Flushed by everything Red stood there. Delighted and thrilled to see what is happening. She turned and saw Lucifer coming. He stood in front of her and bent on one knee. Red gasped ,covering her mouth, not believing this moment is true and she is about to face the beautiful moment she imagined will Lucifer was already to complete their tale of love with an eternal bond of salvation. "Red... Exactly five years ago, on this date I first met you. That moment was the most bea
Silenced Temptations 65- Surprise
"I am telling you, I didn't do it." Red argued over the dinner table with everyone there. "You are lying, Red. Say you didn't expose Parker's cheater girlfriend in the whole university." Erich asked. "Yeah I did but I didn't announce cheating." Red shrugged. "Liar, you made Peter do it." "Indirectly, it was all your fault." Lucifer hummed, eating his food in silence while Erich was telling the time when Red exposed Parker's ex and humiliated her in the whole university for cheating on her friend. "So, that bitch was cheating on him." Red shrugged. "Anyways, I then leak the result about the pre-" Red was cut off by Lucifer, "Turn off your radio, Red. We should eat in silence." Erich broke into laughter, "Radio?" He asked. "Yeah, she rambles twenty four, seven." Lucifer said and Erich continued to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" Red asked in irritation. "Never heard such a perfect nickname." Erich said, trying to control his laugh. The rough present aside, everyone knew h
Silenced Temptations 64- Old Red
Erich tried to make her understand but Lucifer decided to leave. He called Erich to let him know he can't do it and he should also give his and Red's relationship a chance. "Hello Erich. Man, I can't do it anymore. I am leaving." "What? No, Lucifer. You can't leave like this." "Why are you hurting yourself? Give yourself a chance." Lucifer tried to make him understand. "You are not getting it, Lucifer. She pity me and love cannot arouse between us." "Why are you doing this when she wants to live with you!?" Lucifer angrily asked. "Because it hurts me everytime to see her! I cannot look into her eyes because her love is stolen from her because of me!" Erich replied in the same outraged tone. He grit his teeth, calming down. "Okay, meet her once before leaving." Lucifer opened his mouth to say something but Erich spoke up, "At least, let her choose." Lucifer wanted to argue but agree, thinking it might be for the best if Red chose herself. Erich and Lucifer met outside he
Silenced Temptations 63- Bound with me
Red lowered her head and hid it in Lucifer's chest. Erich curved his lips in dejection and continued in a broken voice, "When I had no expectation then how can I get hurt?" "I don't want to hurt you." Red said, not meeting his gaze in contrition. "What about you Red? Are you going to live your life with me all because you don't want to break my heart? What about your heart? Your emotions? I cannot live like this with you. I want your elation." "But.. but what about the sorrows I gave you. I-" Erich cut her off, "I will gather myself." Erich smiled and lowered his head, continuing in a crying tone, "But I cannot bound you with me knowing you love someone else. I.. can't do this." Red looked at him timidly, stopping her cries, "Please forgive me." Erich wiped his tears and smiled, "Red I love your happiness, If it won't exist then what's the point of my love?" Erich came closer, the soft smile still on his lips along with the tears shining like gems on his exquisite emeral
Silenced Temptations 62- Silenced Words
"Even if it hurts you?" Red asked between her sobs, looking at him innocently. "Even if it hurts me." He smiled, cupping her cheek with his one hand, dearing the warmth and wiping the tear with his thumb. "Why are you so indulgent with me!? Why can't you say what's in your heart?! Why can't you say you want me to be yours?!" Red asked, crying again, hitting his chest. "Because my words would become an obstacle to your path and I want you to choose the path to solace." He said, holding her face and pulling it close to her, boring his eyes into hers. "But Erich.. I.. I.." Red sniffed, trying to say something. "It's okay." He whispered. "I can't do this..." She whispered back. "Shh. Don't think about it more. Your joy matters to me." He said, stroking the side of her face with his hand, removing the tears which stained her charm. "I am sorry. I am so sorry.. Please forgive me..." Red weeped, lowering her head in shame. "Red, can I ask for something?" He asked. "What?" "A pictur
Silenced Temptations 61- Farewell
The next day. April couldn't stay any longer and decided to leave before anything else happened because of her. Also, she doesn't want to ruin lives by her presence anymore. "Are you sure about leaving?" She smiled and nodded. "And you will not come back?" He asked again. "Lucifer, I have done nothing to find a reason to come back." "How could you leave after the chaos?" April laughed a little, "I have demolished everything, that's why I am leaving. And nothing could stop me. I'm sorry if I can't help you anymore but I have to go... It.. suffocates me to see Erich and Red.. I can't take it anymore." Her voice cracked up. She sniffed, resisting her tears and continued in a croaky voice, "I didn't intend to become like this. After Erich ended our sessions, I had no intentions of entering his life again. I just wanted to go back, being Red's friend only but.. I came because of you but I can't do it anymore." "April..." Lucifer called, looking at her compassionately. "Thanks for ev
Silenced Temptations 60- On Her Rhythm
On her way back, her car's tyre got punctured. She called a mechanic and was waiting for him but then saw Lucifer in April's car who was going to her outlet but when he saw her on the road he stopped. "Red..." He called her, coming to her. "Why are you here?" Red asked. "I wanted to see you." He replied. "You did, now leave." She sighed. "Waiting for a mechanic?" He asked. She rolled her eyes, leaning on her car, ignoring him. Lucifer laughed a little to himself and stared at her. Red tried her best to ignore his gaze and smile but couldn't resist and ask out of annoyance, "What are you staring at?" "You." He replied. "Then stop doing it, it's creepy." She said, His smile turned into a sad one as he lowered his head. "Sorry if that made you uncomfortable but what can I do when I love your hair." He said, looking at her again. "I am sorry if it was unpleasant but I love your smiles." He said with a tear stinging in his eye. "I still love the radiance you no longer pos
Silenced Temptations 59- New Start
"I want to start things over between us." Red breathed out, closing her eyes while Erich traced his fingers on the side of her face with his heart racing rapidly. "Erich please." Red spoke inaudibly. Erich gently pushed her down on the bed and moved back, smiling, "Good night." He said and left her alone in the room to think about her words and thoughts. She couldn't sleep at night, nothing made sense to her with millions of questions roaming her mind and the betrayal pricked a needle in her heart, she needed guidance but seemed like she was being manipulated by sympathy. The next day, she woke up early and didn't find Erich next to her. He slept in the other room, She sighed, freshened up. Red readied up and looked at her dead eyes in the mirror. "Smile, Red. You are going to start a new life today." She told herself. And who do you truly love? A question echoed in her mind and blended angst. She shook her head, forming a fake smile and walked out. Red cooked breakfast for Er
Silenced Temptations 58- Chance
"See. When you can do this, why not April?" He taunted. "Lucifer. Stop." April whispered, holding his shirt, hiding behind his back, trying not to cry. "No. What do you think of yourself, Red? You are hurting everyone here by hiding your real emotions, why are you choosing pain rather than sorting everything out?" Red grit her teeth, averting her gaze with no reply escaping her lips because his words were the bitter reality. "Enough, Lucifer. Stop it." Erich said. Lucifer looked at Erich and let out a short laugh, "And look at this poor guy, Red. Contemplate his condition, it was all because of you." Lucifer scowled. Red curled her hands, drowning in guilt for what happened to Erich by her unintentional words. "Stop it." Red managed to say. "Why? Can't-" Lucifer was cut off by April this time. "Please Lucifer. Stop." "No, Let him speak. What are you trying to show anyways, huh? Do you care? Don't give me this crap now." Red mocked. "Leave my house." April managed to say. "I am
