Robin couldn’t look at her in the eyes, so he just patted her on the back slowly.

“Go to sleep, you need rest,” he said to her.

“Today’s the last day we can be together. When we reach home, we’ll be on our way. Till the morning comes, stay with me like this. Will you?” she asked while sobbing.

“Sure,” he replied with a nod.

She was sobbing for a while, before going to sleep. When she was sleeping soundly, he was assured and stayed in that position till the flight landed.

Throughout the night, he was contemplating over his actions, and in what directions everything is heading. As he wasn’t expecting this conclusion at all.

"Whom should I choose, mom? Christina or Lucy? My past or my future? What's the best ending for all of us not to hurt each other?".

But eventually, he comes to a dead-end and falls asleep.

They get off the flight in due time. Robin didn't Meet Christina

Why do I feel that the world around me is shining more than ever today? And this happiness, where is it coming from?” Robin was left speechless. He couldn’t stand properly and had to lean onto the door to stand still.“Lucy…” his cheeks were a little bit red when she left him like that.“What should I do? I can’t stop grinning like a fool.

    Grandpa broke the silence with a sigh.“So, Lucy doesn’t have anything to defend herself, right?” he confirmed.“Yes, she doesn’t. Cause she’s a cheater and nothing else,” Gray adds, with a pleasant smile appearing on his face.“I still can’t believe that she’s as dishonest as you are making her seem like. So, I’ll need to see everything with my own eyes,” grandpa said, turning to Lucy.“Bring me the files for the project created by both of your teams, and I’ll make my decision on who’s the wrong one here. Hurry up,” said grandpa.Julia wasn’t expecting him to say that. Gray and Olivia none of them were expecting him to say that.“Is there any need to do that dad? I mean you don’t believe your grandchildren will be lying to you, will they?” added Hughes’s mom.“You keep your mouth shut when I’m talk

    “We are sorry about our behavior as well grandpa,” Julia added, with a bow.Hughes also got up from his seat and bowed, “I’m sorry for cheating as well.”Seeing others apologize, Olivia admitted defeat as well.“I’m a sorry grandpa, for doing all of this.”“Glad you understand your fault and apologized also. I forgive you, but you need to be a little bit punished, don’t you?”.Olivia looked up with a confused face.“What kind of punishment?”.“Your marks will get cut off half, all the points you managed to accumulate this far, will go to waste, this is a huge loss which will teach you a great lesson,” Grandpa replied.“No way you can do that grandpa,” Julia remarks, clenching her hands into fists.“At this rate, Lucy will have much more points than us, isn’t she?”.“So what?

    Lucy ran off to her house with a happy expression on her face. She wasn’t expecting her grandpa to say anything in her favor nor to praise her also. Things seem to be going too well for her than she imagined it to be. When she was back home, she told her mom and dad about it. They were happy to hear that. She went to tell Robin about it, who was in his art room.She didn’t knock and went inside immediately.Inside she saw him painting a woman on the board. A woman facing her back with hair up to her back was spotted. She was wearing a pale blue one-piece with flower patterns on it in the field of lavender.She was struck at the view and just stood at the door watching him. He didn’t even notice that she was standing there and only focused on his work. She watched his back, who was putting all his attention in front of the thing which stood before his eyes and nothing else.“I admire his concentration skills. Wish I could do s

    Soon, afternoon came, it was lunchtime.“I’m done. I can’t go through all of them at all,” Nick sighs, taking off his light blue coat, loosening his red striped tie, and placing the coat onto the table.“It’s too soon to give up,” Chelsa replied. She was done half-checking all of them.“All of them has higher experience level than us. Why were we even chosen with our standard?” Zoe mumbled.“I heard you,” Nick added.“I’m out of coffee, gotta bring some. Keep working everyone,” he left with a wave.After Nick left, Lucy and others were doing work. But then Lucy noticed it was lunchtime when she turned the clock on her table.“At this rate, I won’t be able to have lunch with him. I have half an hour to leave.

    “So, did you managed to find any person who can work under a sadist like you?” Robin comments with a chuckle.“Sadist?” Lucy gave a surprised glance at him in confusion.“Who are you calling sadist? I am more kind than you think I am. I know I’m too demanding and bossy, but that’s part of my job.”“I know.”“But we couldn’t manage to find anyone. Hope they’ll find a better person for the job. Anyway, I wanna take a nap. Do you have any plans for the evening?” Lucy asked casually.“Plans? Well….no. why?”.“Well….the thing is….i want to do some shopping.

    Lucy tackled him and he couldn’t lean onto anything for support and the rack of clothes behind him fell also. Lucy backed away and spotted a white dress among the bunch of dresses. “What is that?” she became curious to find out about it. When she moved closer and picked it up from the ground. “Ouch,” Robin cried out, asking for help while lying in the savanna of clothes. When she stared at the dress and observed it closely, her cheeks brightened red. “You were hiding this?” she stuttered. “Eh?” he looked at her to find them sitting with the dress in her hand. He was also shocked. “She found it after all?”. After that, none of them spoke to each other and Robin just stood outside the corner so that he won’t have to face the awkward silence. He heaved a sigh, leaning onto the wall, watching people come and go. He sneaked sometimes to check on her. A

This brought tears to her eyes.He faced his back against her, to gain some composure. He heaved a deep sigh, and inhaled again.
