Lurking

"No, it's still not necessarily his doll. It could be that the doll belongs to someone else. Besides, there are many people who live in that housing complex and there are many men who choose the same height as the man in the CCTV camera. But the coat-" Soraya looked at the black coat Robert was wearing, the shape and color were similar to the coat worn by the man recorded on CCTV.

Soraya has seen the 30 second recording which was also published on the mysterious website. Seeing several similarities between Robert and the man who threw away the doll made Soraya feel even more confused.

"Soraya? What are you doing here?"

Kimberly's voice quite startled him, who was busy thinking about the anen's assumptions that were popping up in his head. Kimberly, who was standing next to a big tree, gave Robert a cynical glance, who glanced at her briefly.

"You surprised me, Kim!"

"What are you doing? I'm surprised that you're this close to our favorite lecturer!" Kimberly said sarcastically. He did not show any manners at all to the man who was his teacher on campus.

"I didn't do anything! Just a little business with my clothes."

"What's wrong with your clothes? Maybe you want to burn them, huh?"

"Yes, that is so-"

"You still want to continue? How about you come home with me? I want to borrow your book!" Kimberly said as she forced Soraya's hand to follow her.

"B-but I-"

"Come on, I need your help! That's why you have to come with me!"

Soraya didn't know that Kimberly had very strong energy. He grabbed Soraya's hand and took her out of the forest.

"Sir, I'll excuse myself. See you...!" Soraya said. Even though he had to leave in a hurry like this. But he still wanted to show his respect.

"What exactly are you doing alone in a place like that? You're really out of your mind, aren't you?"

"What do you mean? How did you know I was there?"

"I saw you from the balcony of my room, you entered the forest alone carrying a pile of cloth. About two minutes later, I saw Mr. Robert also enter the forest. You know what? He looked very suspicious at all. I'm sure he was following you on purpose!"

"You're wrong! He didn't follow me at all. But it just so happened that he also wanted to paint by the lake."

"Why are you defending him so much? Have you seen the new article on that website? Which disgusting person would want to have sex with a doll in the form of a child? You're crazy! I'm very sure that the man caught on the CCTV camera is him. He can see it very clearly from anywhere!"

"That's still not certain! It's best not to just accuse someone with inaccurate evidence like that. After all, he's not as cold as we think!"

"What? You have to be kidding, right? I'm sure he's brainwashed you with his sweet words. Just like he does to other girls. You disgusting playboy! I don't know how many women he's harassed."

"Kim, you're too much! He's not that bad. Just because he doesn't talk much doesn't mean he's a bad person."

"Soraya, you are the one who has been deceived. Don't judge a book by its cover. You'd better remember what I said. I'm sure sooner or later the mystery of who he really is will be revealed."

"What if your accusations are wrong? What if it turns out that he has nothing to do with all your suspicions?"

"If he is proven to have nothing to do with it, I will apologize directly to him and become his fan. How? Do you still doubt me? Now I ask you, what if all the accusations are proven? What if Robert William Stanley is a very terrible? What are you going to do?"

"I-I don't know-"

"Tch, you can't even answer that firmly. You're always hesitating like that. You know? If you keep acting like this you'll always be dealing with troublesome people your whole life!" Kimberly, who was annoyed, immediately left, leaving Soraya silent in place with all the confusion she felt.

Soraya looked up at the orange sky, the breeze blowing her hair. Soraya didn't want to believe all the bad news about Robert. Just like what he experienced, people started accusing him of making mistakes he never made.

"I'm sure he's not someone like that. All the unproven accusations, it feels very cruel. Who is actually the person who has spread these bad rumors? I want to know, who is really behind all this?"

This man flicked his fingertips on the steering wheel when he realized there was a woman standing in front of his door.

The woman walked quickly to her car which was parked in the yard. Smiling cheerfully, welcoming his return. Seeing the woman's smile, he felt very disturbed. Especially when he realized there was a foreign car in front of his house.

"Welcome? I've been waiting for you!" Welcome him happily.

He immediately approached the man who had just stepped out of his car. A beautiful brown-haired woman with charming blue eyes, he used to feel so attracted to her, but for some reason now he feels very disgusted.

"What are you doing here?" Asked the man with a very unfriendly expression.

"Why do you ask like that? Aren't I used to coming here? You're so annoying! You make me miss you so much, you cheater!" Spontaneously, she tried to hug this man by draping her arms around his shoulders.

His eyes looked at her with more love, he felt a turmoil from within his body that he couldn't fight.

"Get off your dirty hands! You disgust me!"

"Dirty? I've washed my hands, used fragrant hand cream and you can see for yourself, right? My hands are very soft!" He showed his hands while smiling.

This man felt increasingly disturbed, he took the canvas out of his car and took it into the house.

"What did you paint? Can I see it?"

"Go! I want to rest!"

"Bad! Why did you throw me out? Even though I've been waiting for you for two hours. I wanted to give you a surprise. If you heard it, you would be very happy."

"What do you mean?"

It seemed that this man was starting to get impatient, he tried to restrain himself in the hope that this woman would immediately leave his house. However, Tamosmn, his little wish was quite difficult to come true. Instead of realizing that the man had given a signal that he should have understood, this woman acted even more spoiled by hugging this man while pulling his hand to touch her stomach.

"I am pregnant!" he whispered softly.

"What? What do you mean? Don't you really like children? So I thought about giving you a child."

"Are you crazy?"

"Yes, I'm crazy. I'm crazy about you. Therefore, I beg you not to say that again. Don't force me to leave you! I can't, even if I try to do it, I will never be able to. I love you too much , therefore I beg you not to leave me!"
