Author's point of view... "Why did you call me here?" the girl sitting next to Richard asked in a hurry. The urge was evident in her tone. She was wearing just a normal T-shirt and a pair of jeans but her head and face were completely covered with a dark scarf. Richard took a deep breath before he made himself talk. "Anna," he began, "you need to stop this, please. Just go talk to your mother" Anna was perplexed and she became uneasy the moment she heard him saying that. "No...! No way Richard. It's not the right time." she instantly smacked off the idea of meeting her mother, "I still need some more time to tell her everything. She can't take it if I do it right away" Anna hung her head down as she recalled her mother's face when Anna refused to get engaged. Her Mom was so worried that she almost stopped breathing. "I can't..." she repeated in a haze. Richard's eyes darkened, right from the beginning, he had been trying to persuade her to tell everything and she had been repeat

Juliette's point of view... I froze for a while as they pressed on me with their doubts. As I got back my senses, I pursed my lips and then gave them a better answer. I know this matter won't be hidden for do long because all the players on the ground have witnessed it and now or then they will recognize me. "I...I was in the restroom when I heard from the girls earlier" I answered her sheepishly. "Oh..." both of them shook their head agreeing and then Lissa added, "Andrew called Logan to train them all for some basketball match with those scary university boys" She sounded worried, "They said those university scoundrels provoked our boys to have a challenge and some of our school girls were involved in this too. Do you guys know who those girls are?" My jaw dropped in disbelief. I stared at Lissa for a few seconds before I got my consciousness back. It was an embarrassing encounter so I asked Lissa not to tell anyone about it and she didn't do it. As the sports team was not so fa

Juliette's point of view... "Juliette" he called my name and rasped loudly. I stopped where I was but didn't turn to face him. "I ordered dinner for us, eat something before you go to bed. I have something to do so I won't be getting back sooner" I didn't respond and he didn't wait for it either. He left after that, slamming the door slightly behind him. Finally, I exhaled the warm air that I had been holding inside and strode into my room. What work would he be having late at night? Spending time with his girl? Was that a date? I felt a pang of anger building up in my heart at the thought but soon I was able to dodge it successfully. Why should I be bothered about his affairs? Taking a bath and having the dinner he prepared, a good serving of cheese macaroni with bacon, I went to bed earlier but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't fall asleep. I can't believe I have been checking my phone every now and then just to see the time...! Why isn't he back yet? Why was I so dist

Richard's point of view... The restless day at the school ended when the bell rang. As things were not so great between us, I wanted to talk it out with Juliette. At least we can live comfortably. I wanted to tell her that she would go back to her Mom's side soon. I thought of talking to her yesterday but I had an appointment and when I came back she was already asleep. The moment the bell at the corner rang, I strode out of my office and strode near the gate. All the students came out except for the one my eyes had been waiting for. I walked all across the corridors of the campus and asked some of her classmates, but no one had seen Juliette anywhere. They said she left in a hurry and some of them even told me that she was upset. I was concerned. What is she going to do now? I thought she might be on her way home so I strode out of the school looking around to find my little wife but couldn't see her anywhere and instead of her I bumped into someone I would never want to meet.

Author's point of view... Aahh...! Juliette screamed out as the realization hit her like a lightning stroke. Did he change her dress? Did he see her naked? Her face flushed and she couldn't bear that it had happened. As her screams reverberated inside the house, Richard was startled in the bathroom and rushed out immediately covering himself in just his towel without even washing himself up. "What... What happened?"At that moment, all he could focus was on Juliette, closing her eyes and screaming like she had seen a ghost, still lying on the bed. Her face was red as if burning hot and tears glinted on her cheek. What else would he need to think something was bad with her? Worried he ran towards her without thinking twice. He didn't see what he was wearing, he didn't think about what he was doing, all that he could think about was Juliette. His body was still covered with soap lather and so was his face and head. The soap droplets from his body dropped on the floor making th
