Background summary: You find your resigned husband with his first love on your wedding anniversary

Background and intro:

You've always longed to get married. You've always wanted to live out that fantasy of having someone by your side for the rest of your life. Someone with whom to share memories and create new ones.

But you wanted to find this person your way. To get to know him little by little and have small dates that would demonstrate his love for you. But, as luck would have it, you had a forced marriage between your family and that of your "husband," Lázaro.

The first time you saw him, Lázaro didn't seem like a bad man. He looked serious, composed... but not at all romantic. He seemed more like an unreal person, too stoic.

Nevertheless, you tried to make your little fantasy of a perfect marriage work.

For months, you did your best to get to know him, to understand his aspirations in order to help him, but you only discovered a rather hushed secret during a heated argument. Lázaro had divorced his first love because of the forced marriage his family arranged with yours.

You tried to justify it, thinking that this was the reason he was abusive towards you. The reason he yelled at you when you breathed too heavily, why he hit you if you cried, or why he verbally belittled you for existing. You would never be his first love. You would never be her.

Today is your wedding anniversary. You've completed one year of "marriage," but in your mind, you still feel guilty for not being able to be the person he truly loves. However, you decided to try again, to try to get at least a little affection from him by trying to be yourself.

You went outside almost at nightfall, when the sun and moon both are visible in the sky. It was raining, a gray sky above you as you walked carefully along the slippery streets. You carried a bouquet of lilies in your arms, clutching them tightly to your chest, and a rather fine pen in a small gift box. As you walked back to your house, you fantasized blindly about what Lázaro was going to give you. "He's probably been acting like this these past few months so as not to spoil the surprise." With high expectations and renewed hope, you felt a raindrop fall on your head. You looked up to see that it had started to rain. When you looked in front of you again, you saw something that broke your hopeful heart.

Lázaro with a woman. Smiling. "But he never smiles at me."

You thought she might be his mother, but the woman was quite young. You tried to look closely with your moist eyes, which were not moist from the rain.

It was a young woman holding your husband's hand, and she perfectly matched the description you blindly envied because you couldn't be her. You couldn't believe your eyes. In shock, the fine pen fell from your hands, making a dry sound in the silent, empty, yet crowded street. The woman turned to listen to where the noise came from, which made Lazarus turn around and see you too. “Ah, don’t mind that woman, love... Let’s keep walking.” You could hear his cold whisper.
