Description

Luka arrives home early on his anniversary. He has tickets to the Phantom of the Opera. He can't wait to surprise his wife. He walks in on her with another man...

Luka's POV:

   I can't wait to see my wife.

   I know she will be so happy!

  I finally saved enough money to take her to the Phantom of the Opera.

  I pull into the driveway.

Strange, since when did we have a green jeep with the license plate tag, "Calfornia 757 Him?"

   I  unlock the door and head toward the bedroom.

 I opened the door. I saw her in bed.

 I noticed a few things off right away.

 I saw she wore a sexy outfit.

Then, I heard moans from her.

   It was the sort that couples in love who were having sex usually made.

  I was alarmed.

  Immediately, I pulled the covers off her and gasped.

I saw her ex-mate and her in a compromising position.

I will spare you the details.

I was horrified.

How dare she cheat on me?

"Kagami, how could you?   It's our anniversary, and I catch you in our room with your ex-husband."

  I yelled at her, slammed the door, took the tickets with me, and left.

I  was downright furious.

I  drove to the theater. 

 After I  destroyed her ticket, I  showed mine to the ticket checker.

  The whole time I watched the play, I wept.

   After  I  left the theater, I felt no better than I had when I arrived.

   "Sir, I am sorry you did not enjoy the play, but I could ask  the manager to refund your money."

    "Do not bother because the play was great, and  I believe the actors and actresses did a fine job. "

 "Today is my anniversary,  and my wife ruined it. I found her cheating with her ex, of all people."

     "Oh, my, that is horrible."

   "Let me treat you to some coffee."

  I took her up on her offer.

I went with the lady whose name tag read  "Chole."

  I  let her pay for the coffee.

I   was amazed when she listened to me rant about my wife's adultery.

 Chole was a great listener.   I was a married man and was not about to get involved with another woman, at least not without the divorce going through first.

     "Here is my card if you ever want to talk."

    "  I am sorry about your wife, and  from the sound of it, she seems like a total slut." 

     I cursed under my breath, surprised Chole did not tell me off.

     Later,   I arrived home, relieved to see the mysterious vehicle, and my wife's car was gone.

         I saw a note on the table.

     It read:  " Dear Luka,

      I have decided to leave you. 

       I am blamed for all this. 

        I was a  horrid wife to you. 

   I made sure you get the house, all its furnishings, your car, and the pets.

      I  packed my few belongings.

     Sorry, it did not work out between us.

     Sincerely, 

      Kagami."

  For the second time that day, I entered the bedroom.

     I  saw the photo on the nightstand of the two of us together.

   I  never cared for that photo, so I threw it out.

   "Fast forward a bit..."

  It has been a year since that rotten day. I have been divorced for six months now.

 I have never been happier. Chole and I got together. We are taking it slow.  Why rush into things?

  the end

until the next Miraculous one-shot story,

bye-bye,

little owlets!

Summer out!
