Is it serious?”.“Kind of.”Lucy looks around, searching for Robin who was nowhere to be seen.When she did manage to find her husband, he was wiping away the sweat off his face, while staring down at his hands.“There he is!” she walked up to him, about to call him only for the music to start playing.The musicians started playing their performance on stage.Robin looked in the direction of the stage and then turns to his hands,

The light comes back, and Lucy spots her husband with Christina.When she was about to speak up, someone comments among the crowd.“Aren’t they the one on the pictures?”.Everyone’s attention shifts to them hearing the voice.“Yes, they are,” replied the other.“This is the husband of Lucy Campbell.”“But who’s this woman on the picture?”.“I have seen her face somewhere.”“But why are standing among the crowd like that?”.Robin removed Christina off from his body.It was a total chaos where everyone was whispering among themselves regarding them.Ms. Olive stepped forward and turns to Christina.“I know who she is!” she yelled, raising her voice.“She’s the winner for this years national art competition held some days ago, Christina Hobert.”“What?”.“Why’s she seen with Lucy Campbell’s husband?

Confusion and Crisis

Robin stepped forward and goes up to Grandpa’s side. He kept his head lowered.“I can explain-“.Grandpa raised his hand, stopping him from talking.“No need to talk any longer.”“You have already destroyed our reputation in front of so many people out here.”“Don’t even try to cover up your mistake.”“I don’t want to listen to you at all!”.“Please shut up.”Robin kept his head lowered, biting onto his lips.“Grandpa, please listen,” Lucy tried to interrupt.But Grandpa gave a glare to her.“You still have anything to say in his defense?”.Lucy lowered her head, peeking at her husband.“I don’t think this is the right place to discuss this-“ Picado interrupted but Grandpa stopped him from talking also.“I’m talking here.”Suddenly, a rush of people approached them from a distance and no one understood where they came from.It was the press.

Stuck

Gray came over to Robin’s side with an smirk on his face.“Even though, the proof is right in front of us, you still dare to lie? I mean how?”.“We can clearly see the affair between you and that girl.”“Why still deny it?”.“Cause that’s not the truth!” Robin retorted back.“These pictures are real, but the situation behind has a reason. It’s not like we are having an affair, I only saved her.”“That’s the truth which only you are saying. Give us a proof! What might you call it if it’s not cheating?”.“Everyone! What would you call it?”.“There is an conspiracy set against us, Lucy!” Robin turned to his wife. But grandpa stood right next to him.“Believe me! I’m not having an affair with Christina! Someone took those pictures at the right moment to frame me.”“I only saved her from falling. But there’s no one who can give any proof for me, so you might not be able to believe it.”“Even so!”.“You can have faith in me!”.“I will never do something like that with you!”.“Blind faith ca

Questioned

“Won’t you Christina?” Noir comments.Christina lifted her face, meeting the eyes of others.“I….”.“Please tell us the truth.”Christina cleared her throat.“Alright then. If you want the truth, I’m going to give you the truth.”“The truth is actually very simple.” She started walking towards Robin, then stood right next to him.She leaned onto his shoulders and replied, “We had been hiding our relationship from the public eye for a long time. But the time has come when we finally reveal in front of others.”“We both love each other, but is unable to become one because he’s married.”“That’s why our relationship is kept hidden from the eyes of others.”“Simple as that.”Robin looked at her in surprise. He pushed her away from him.“What the heck are you spouting?”.“This is not what you were supposed to say! Why are you speaking up lies?”.“This is not a lie, but the truth,” added Christina with an smile.“Why are you telling out lies?” Noir yelled. “What lie?” Christina grunted. “

From scratch one

“Please tell us why you had to cheat on your wife for some other women?”.“What’s the reason?”.“Why?”.“We want to kn-“.“Stop!” Lucy yelled loud enough for everyone present in there to hear.They all look at her in confusion unable to understand what was going on.“Why’s she acting like this?” Julia murmured.“Stop what you are all doing!”.Robin looks at her with an surprised and saddened expression.Lucy looked up at Robin, then gave her a cold stare before turning away from him.“I-“ he was about to call out to her, but she walked away without looking back behind her.“Where is she going now?” Gray comments, placing his hands in his pockets.“Maybe she’s tired of her husband’s behavior which is why she couldn’t stand staying here any longer,” Olivia remarks in a tone of mockery.Robin watched her go with an saddened face.“Lucy, why did you leave? Are you angry at me?”.“It has to be the reason, but you could’ve listened to me at least before leaving.”“Why didn’t you ask me anyt

She and her dad had gone to visit some other cousins because they weren’t invited to the party.“Where’s he going?”.“Dear, help me take off my shoes.”“Coming.”He was walking through the road aimlessly without any sense of direction.Suddenly, the sky became cloudy and it started raining slowly little by little.He ignored the rain and continued to walk. His clothes were drenched in rain. Raindrops falling down from his head onto his eyes making his vision blurry.He didn’t look at the road when he was about to cross it.He just wanted to get away from everything.

They lighted up the candles and the living room became a lot more visible now.“Do you feel better?” Robin asked Noir, who was holding onto him and her whole body was shaking up in fear.Noir nodded.“Can you let go of me now?” he asked, patting the back of her head.She removed her hands from his clothes slowly.She looks around lowering her eyes at the bundles of candles lined up one after another.“I’m sorry for bothering you,” she murmured.Robin glanced at her.“No, there’s no need to feel bad about it at all. I know myself how much you are scared of the dark and lightning.”“Where’s Chris?”.“I’m here.” Chris added, coming from behind.“I had gone to see the power point, and I think that the power outage h
