Chapter 1: The Dilemma

Searing pain on his left check was all he could register, his eyes filling with water and mind shocked. He didn't know what just happened. Chandler was very confused.

An hour ago:

Chandler was pilling a bunch of paper and stacking them on his desk. Man! Would his wife be proud of him! Tomorrow is their anniversary. Five years ago he and Monica were just crossing the line from friends to lovers in the hotel room. He wanted to make sure that everything was perfect. He didn't want Monica to get angry on him by seeing his desk messy, just in case she decided to drop by his office.

As Chandler headed out of his office, his assistant approached him.

"Hey Chandler, leaving early?" said Julia his assistant. "Yes, I have a thing" He would have told her the truth that he is going to meet his wife, but he didn't want to share this with any of his colleagues. Plus he didn't want to drag the conversation and get into specifics. He just wanted to go to Javu, pick Monica and go to a nice restaurant to celebrate the evening. Even though technically their anniversary is tomorrow, he still wanted to plan out their evening precisely only because she was worth it. Monica was worth all the efforts, also their anniversaries tend to last more than a day and he is definitely not complaining.

Chandler took a cab to Monica's restaurant. He opened the doors to the restaurant and approached a waitress. "Hi I'm looking for my wife, Monica".

"I'm sorry but Monica left a half an hour ago" replied the waitress.

Chandler left the restaurant and headed home. This was confusing. He told Monica he would pick her up from her restaurant. Maybe she forgot.

He climbed the stairs, two at a time. He was still confused. He opened the door to his apartment. The entire gang was there, crowding around Monica on the couch. No one had noticed him yet. He went behind the couch and kneeled. He slightly caressed her head and spoke "Sweetie, are you all right?"

Monica turned her head and looked at him; in fact even the gang looked at him and gave him a similar glare Monica was giving him. Man he had done something wrong.

Monica stood up and approached him and slapped him.

At the present moment:

Searing pain on his left check was all he could register, his eyes filling with water and mind shocked. He didn't know what just happened. Chandler was very confused.

"How dare you?" she yelled. However Chandler was still confused. "Sweetie, tell me what happened." Chandler spoke kindly. Him being so calm increased Monica's blood pressure. "Tell you what happened? Don't you already know? Stop playing dumb Chandler!"

The vein on Monica's head was bulging. Chandler was very scared. "Babe, I honestly don't know what you're talking about. Calm down and tell me", Chandler said placing his hands on Monica's shoulders.

Monica's shrugged his hands away from her and took a few steps behind. "CALM DOWN? Seriously! That's how you want to play?" Monica rushed to their bedroom. She came out with a duffel bag in her hand and gave it to him.

"Get out" Monica said in a low voice.

"What?"

"I said GET OUT. Get out of my apartment." Monica said and wiped the tears in her eyes.

"Why?"

"How dare you ask that? After all you cheated on me!"
