Robin returned to the living room and stared at the pile of work which he has left yet to finish.“Laundry, dishes, cleaning, Cooking everything is left. When am I even going to finish everything?”. He sighs and sits down onto the couch, staring down at his feet.“I feel hopeless.”“If I am a freeloader, why am I even staying at this house? There’s no need for me to stay here, is there?”.When he was absorbed in his thoughts, his phone rang which was left on the breakfast table.He got up to pick it up.He answered the call.“Hello.”“Good morning Robin.”“Oh, Noir.”“Good morning.”“Do you have an headache?”.“Yeah, It’s hurting a lot, but I feel better.”“Glad to hear that.”“What’s up?” he went to the living room and sits down to talk with her.“I called you to tell you when I plan on going to meet Miss Nancy.”“Oh, yeah.”“I’m thinking of leaving by 11:30. Then we can talk a lot and may have a lunch outside. How does that sound?”.“Great. What’s the time now?”.“Um…9.”“I have two

Going to meet Ms. Nancy

Julia smiled, looking up at Gray.“You can hear more after I get to eat. Or else, I’m not speaking anything at all.”Gray clicked his tongue rubbing his eyebrows out of irritation.“Since when did you start exchanging information for food?”.“From today!”.The door opens with a loud noise.Gray and Julia both look at the source of the noise. Suddenly the sound of footsteps came closer to her and two men surround her from behind.“Miss Julia!”.“What are you doing here?”.Julia looks behind her to see her juniors surrounding her.“Sam and Max, what are you doing here?”.Gray looks at them with confusion.“What do you mean why we are here? You forced all the work on our last night. And since then you are not picking up our calls not doing any work as well.”“Do you know how much trouble you are causing us by doing this?”. Sam yelled fisting his hands in anger.“Eh….I did…”.“We have a meeting to attend to in 10 minutes. But you didn’t even show up in your department. How much reckless

Reminiscence

Noir texted Henry that she has already gone out.They stopped by the flower shop. Noir went first. Then Robin followed behind her.She looked around the group of white lilies. The yellow ones. Meanwhile, Robin looked at the group of pink roses mixed with red ones.“Would you like some blue iris as well? Or yellow roses?”.Robin did not answer. “Hey, are you listening?”.She looked behind her to see that he was nowhere to be seen. She looked sideways and then saw him staring at the group of roses. “What is he doing?”.She walked up to him and tapped on his shoulder from behind.“What are you looking at? Do you want to bring-“.“Roses were her favorite. She loved it when I had brought a single rose for her.”He spoke, picking up one rose from the bunch of flowers. “Let’s mix it with the blue irises along with yellow roses and white lilies and red tulips.” “She’ll like it a lot.”“You gave her a rose. When?”.“A long time ago. It was on Valentine's. You didn’t know about it,” he repl

Where do broken hearts go?

Noir stared down at her hands, then glanced back at Li who ran away from there.“So, how are you handling all by yourself?” Robin asked, placing his hand on Ms. Nancy’s hand.She sighs and gave a light smile.“It’s because she’s by my side, the only support I have.”“After he went away her smile is the only thing that kept me going all through the years.”“I got myself a high-school teacher and started teaching. That’s how I used to do housework along with raising her also.”“I’m now the principal of my school. Isn’t that great?”.“It is!” Noir replied with a smile.“You have grown a lot stronger over the years. How do you manage all of this?”.“Dunno!”.“Guess, I’m still young!”.“Doesn’t she miss her dad?” Noir asked, staring back at Li.Nancy also looked at her.“She does, but she’s unable to say it out. But, if you long for the person who doesn’t give a damn to you, is a disrespect towards the person who’s still thinking about you like normal day activities.”“After all, he left u

Li's request

Nancy couldn’t understand how to respond to his statement.She opened her mouth to speak, but then she decided to act instead of saying anything to him. She hugged him tightly and patted his head for a while.He also hugged her back, feeling comfort in her touch.“You smell just like mom.” He comments with a smile.“How can a man like this exist in this world? You are too good for her.” She yelled.“If I could go back in time, I would like to be born with you and marry you when I’d grow older.”“How can you be so kind towards the person who treats you like trash? You are such a kind boy and still they do this to you?”.“How!”.“You are exaggerating! I’m not as great as you are making me sound. I’m just a normal husband who’s praying for his wife’s success more than anything. That’s all.”She pulled away and cupped his face in her hands, staring at him with curious eyes.“You love her, don’t you?”.Meanwhile, Noir was in the room right next to theirs.She could listen to their conversa

Li's confession

“Finally it’s lunchtime!” Lucy grunted, stretching out her arms. Her table was filled up with files which were left to be checked. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, pushing out her chair she was about to get up. Only to be greeted by Henry who came up to her desk. “Are you done with work for now?”. She looks at his direction, giving a smile. “Yes. I finished for now. But, There’s still lots of work left for now. How about you?”. “Um….the files for the next meeting is still not done. I’ll ask Senior Nick to go ahead with the preparations. Maybe he can help us out, can’t he?”. “Maybe!”. “And if you are going to talk about that with him, tell him that I asked for the previous file. There was some mistakes in it.” “You checked beforehand?”. “Yes, but forgot to tell him. My head is not working lately.” “Ah, I can understand!” he replied. “Why am I talking about work only? Didn’t I came here to do something else?” he cried out from inside out. “I need to ask her out to have lunch

The joke on her

When Noir got back to the room, everyone’s attention turns to her only.“Noir, wait a little. I’ll make lunch for all of us,” Nancy said with a smile.“Ah, sure.”“I’ll help out!” Ri said in an enthusiastic tone.“Oh, thanks Ri!”.“Let’s go to the kitchen then.”She nodded.“You two wait and talk. We’ll be done soon,” Nancy said to Robin.They both walked past Noir and went to the kitchen. Noir stood there thinking of something.Then she also rushed towards the kitchen following after them.“I’ll help out as well. This way we’ll finish faster. And I’m quite hungry.”“Thanks for helping us Noir.”Robin watched her with an confused face.“Since when did she become so much enthusiastic about cooking?”.“I never knew she loved cooking. Weird.”“I have to help them out and finish eating before they end up eating. Or else, My plan would be ruined.”Noir was helping them out whatever the way they could.Lucy and Henry reach the café which he wanted to take her to after a while. Lucy was quit

The sprained ankle

At last after a lot of struggle, Noir managed to bring Robin out of Nancy’s house, finishing their lunch.Ri and Nancy both came to see them off at the doorway.“It was fun to spend some time with you after so long,” Robin said with a smile, turning to Nancy.She also smiled back.“It’s nice to see my old students again. Thank you for visiting. Come again when you’ll have time.”“Sure, I-“.Ri was tugging at his shirt.“Come again, someday.”Robin stared at her face and patted his head.“Sure. You can come and visit my house also. We’ll have fun.”“Sure!” she said with an excited face.Noir tapped on her arms anxiously. Sweats formed all over her forehead which she kept wiping off with her handkerchief.“Noir, come again for visiting,” Nancy said.Noir looked at her and smiled. “Sure.”“How are you two going to leave by the way?” asked Nancy looking out towards the gate.“We are….”.“Going by taxi,” Noir responded in quite an enthusiastic tone.“But the taxi we came by is not here.

Caught red-handed

Lucy carried her purse and walked out through the exit. She thought about waiting by the side of the door, but people kept coming in and out. So she felt disturbed and stood at the front of the store waiting for Henry to come and join her while searching for a taxi.Two taxies drove past her and she was unable to catch up with them in time.She kept looking at the taxi stand to see if she could find a taxi or not.“I hope we can reach the office on time.” “We have the next meeting to attend to, and lots of work also.” She checked her watch. It’s 1:50.“I have ten minutes before lunch break is over. Can we reach so fast?”.She heaved a deep sigh and fixed her dress, looking at the taxi stand impatiently.Her eyes followed the people who were waiting in line impatiently.Suddenly, she noticed a pair who came from the opposite direction towards the taxi stand.Her eyes got stuck to the face of the man who was carrying a woman on his back.She rubbed her eyes and looked closely to see a

The price of a lie

Lucy’s stone-cold eyes met with Robin’s surprised face.Both went silent unable to speak a word.Noir also looked at her with a surprised face.When tried to speak up, the driver asked, “Why aren’t you getting in? I’ll start driving, the other two passengers are late.”“We’ll get in right away,” Henry replied.“Please move a little,” he said to Robin.Lucy grabbed him by the hand, stopping him.Henry looked at her with confusion.“We aren’t getting in this taxi.”“Please leave,” she said to the driver.“Weird people. Then why did you waste my time anyway?”.“Anyway!”.The driver started the engine and drove away.Before Robin was able to say anything, the car drove past Lucy who kept staring at them.“S-stop the car, please!” begged Robin, banging at the window.“Don’t!” Noir held onto his hand, stopping him from stopping the car.He gave a puzzled expression back.“What are you doing?”.“We should wait for them, Lucy is-“.“Out with her colleague. I could see that very much well.” No
