(Ralf pov)previous....
But from which corner of that place my eyes caught Roxette, standing and frowning at me.
"Why? Is she crying?
In my mind when I saw there seemed to be a series of liquids dripping from her eyes.
She immediately turned around and ran away.
I pushed Cindy away and rubbed my lip with my palm.
There were traces of tears in Cindy's eyes.
She suddenly fell and I could do nothing but catch her before she ended on the ground..
I once glanced at the area where I spotted Roxette but she was gone.
(Roxette pov)
I didn't realize that time had passed. Irish and I had talked so much while we were in her room.
I'd rather go with her earlier than stay in the room with Ralf because I know we would feel awkward to each other if I stay.
It was late at night so I decided to go back to our room to invite him for dinner but he wasn't there so I thought he might have gone out to eat.
I fixed myself quickly and changed my clothes. Then I went out to look for him.
I looked for him among the people outside just in case I could see him. Until I reached the group of people who were curious about whatever was there.
Out of curiosity for what reason
I walked closer to where the people gather, and the spot I'm standing right now is just enough to clearly see what caught their attention.
I felt gradual pressure on my innermost as I stared at the two people kissing in front of their audience.
My chest heaved as if about to explode. And when did my tears start to fall? I'm not sure because my mind went blank.
What should I feel in this situation?
In the distance, my husband is kissing a woman who I suspect is his ex -girlfriend.
The pain, I felt a pain in my chest, connected to my eyes that were shedding tears incessantly.
When did I start loving him, to be in pain like this? In these moments, It's impossible for him to love me back, the proof is right in front of me.
I sobbed and turned my back and I ran and I don't care if I will run out of breath. This way no one will notice that I am in so much pain and crying.
I could feel the cold air hug my face as I ran and people who noticed me would probably wonder, but I didn’t really care. I will run until all the pain fades off.
"No one will know'. in my mind.
"Roxette! '
I gasped as I looked at the man beside me who pulled my arm to stop me from running.
"What- What happened? '
He stammered as if surprised by my looks. My eyes were probably swollen from crying and I still felt tears on my cheeks.
"Ivan.'
His warm palm immediately landed on my cheek and wiped away the tears that were there.
His eyes were full of questions but his concern became more shallow.
"Ivan. '
I almost whispered his name as he held my face. This is what I need right now, I need the sympathy of someone who will listen to me, someone I can cry over. The tears that he tried to dry with his fingers flowed even more.
Out of great resentment, I hugged Ivan while sobbing.
"What happened? He asked.
I continued to cry as my face was buried in his chest and his hands held the back of my head.
I shed all my tears as Ivan hugged me, hoping it was all gone but I don't think so.
I know it was just a temporary relief.
I cried on his chest for a few minutes, and now that he was sitting next to me, I felt embarrassed. While looking at his shirt that was wet with tears on his chest.
“What happened?
He asked again when he handed me a glass of water.
And of course these are the moments when I should use my fake smiles.
I drank some water from the glass before I answered.
I can feel the swelling in my eyes as well as my nose.
His forehead frowned when he saw me smile in response to his question.
"You know what? You look like a fool." You've been crying for a while and now you're smiling.'
He said then he sat in the empty seat in front of me and held me by both arms forcing me to face him.
He bent down slightly to level on me and see my face clearly, something that makes me ashamed of.
I immediately averted my eyes out of embarrassment.
I waited for him to speak but I heard no more words from him. Maybe now he won't force me to speak, Because I won't tell him anyway.
He let go of my arms and sat up straight and turned his gaze somewhere else.
"I won't force you to answer my question if you don't want to.'
I also saw his deep sigh before he snatched his cellphone from the pocket of his shorts.
I drank the remaining water from the glass I was holding while he was dialing on his phone.
Later I heard the door of the room click and Irish entered from there. She seemed surprised when she saw me there in Ivan's room.
"Oh' what are you doing here? And what is that? Why is your eye swollen?
She asked as she approached my seat.
"Bro, You bi**h! What did you do to Roxette ?!
"You're really crazy! How did you do this to her?
“How did you manage to molest your own cousin ?!
"You're such a bad man! You're going to rot in jail!
She exclaimed and then hit Ivan on the arm with the bag she was carrying.
The poor man did nothing after being beaten by his own sister.
"Enough! "Molest-?' How could you-?'
I have nothing to do with that!
Ivan exclaimed to depend himself.
"Is that so? ' you should have said earlier!
Irish said with a calm voice.
"Stay with her! I'll just be out in a minute,
Ivan said.
“I just have to talk to someone.
He added. His voice suddenly sounded serious as he turned to look at me before finally leaving the room.
