Elara: tapping fingers I... found out about the affair... What should I do?
Personik
I am elara’s husband
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself This is... unexpected. How long have you known about this?
Personik
2 years….
clenching her fists Two years! And you're only telling me now? You think I deserve to be kept in the dark like this?
Personik
no….. please …I hold her hand I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of what you would think of me…
pulls her hand away, stepping back Afraid of my reaction? Is that it? You think I'm so fragile that I can't handle the truth?
Personik
No….. I’m scared you will leave me if I tell you…
voice trembling with anger Leave you? You think leaving you is easier than confronting this betrayal head-on?
Personik
I know it is….
takes a step closer to Personik, eyes blazing You think running away is the easy way out?
Personik
I look away
grabs Personik's chin, forcing him to look into her eyes Look at me, Personik! Betrayal is not something we can just brush off or sweep under the rug.
Personik
I know, Elara... I say, looking into your eyes It was wrong, and I regret it deeply.
softens her gaze, releasing Personik's chin I appreciate your honesty, Personik. But words alone won't mend this wound. We need to take action.
Personik
yes….. I want to fix this….
places a hand on Personik's arm Good. Let's start by having a honest conversation with your maid.
Personik
I nod and kiss her I’ll handle it, Elara. Together, we’ll get through this.
whispers I hope you mean that, Personik. Our relationship depends on it.
Personik
I do….
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Alright, let's make sure this conversation goes smoothly. We need to approach it with caution and respect.
Personik
I nod
paces back and forth, thinking We need to gather our thoughts and plan our approach. We can't afford any more lies or secrets.
Personik
I nod
quickly grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start by listing down everything we know about this situation.
