2 Months after
It was sunday morning and Mike was standing at the balcony, Lily wakes up slowly and notices her worried husband staring at the birds in the sky. She goes to him and hugs him from behind. "It's been 2 months since we've been married but I still can't figure out what keeps on going in your head ?" he turns towards her, "Nothing my dear, just worried about your competition tomorrow" she smlies "It's not my competition Mr. husband, I'm the judge" he again turns his face outside, "But still, what if something goes wrong ?" she starts tying her hair "You are overthinking again, also they are just 15 years old and it's just a literature meet." but it was indeed an important event for Lily and the children of Paul State School, the literature meet is done once in a year where profound poets, writers and novelists are appointed as judges and view the works of young children. Mike takes a deep breath, it was his this habbit that made him nervous even in simple times "Relax, it will be fine." she says Mike smiles and follows her to the kitchen "Where is today's newspaper ?", she points at the centre table "Look closely". He sits on the couch with the paper and the phone rings. "I'll get it" he leaves the paper and goes to the bedroom. Lily hears him talking over the phone "What.....In today's ne......that's terrible........Ok thanks" she rushes to the bedroom, "What happened ?" she asks. "It was Duke, there was a bomb blast last night" she gasped "Where ?" he heads towards the couch, "At Haden" he picks the paper "That's where your fath.....", "Yes.....look it's here" he hands her paper and turns on the television. The reporter was standing outside the government's meeting hall with all the other reporters and police officers all chatting about the same topic "Group 19H of 30 soldiers that were at the Shinobe bomb testing facility inside Haden boundary line were killed due to launch failiure.....'' he increases the volume and stares at the newspaper ''......this is the fourth tragedy that has occured in that area since the start of the new health projects started an year ago which was set up near the Shinobe bomb testing facility of military and command forces.
