"Maybe I just got hurt because I was expecting a bit. Maybe because even though our marriage started like this somehow I want it to be fine. I know it's very impossible because there's other people involved."
"Yeah right it's really impossible. Especially if they keep meeting," my friend said then rolled his eyes.
I raised my eyebrow. "How did you know?"
She just pointed at my back with her lips so I looked at it.
Oh yes, please remind me that I will never go back to this coffee shop because it looks like they used to be together.
The girl's arm was happily hooked on Andrei while he seemed to be seriously ordering at the counter. As usual they did not notice that someone was looking at them.
"Let's go bar later game? I'll bring a driver."
"Maybe you forgot I already worked Ayesha," I reminded while rolling my eyes.
"Then lets go now to get drunk early, get home early, woke up early. AHAHAHA!"
"You know, when it comes to nonsense your intellect is arghh!" I laughed.
"I know right. Let's go?"
"Your threat," I finally said then stood up.
We stopped for a moment walking out because we met them on the way.
Andrei just gave me a serious look while I gave him a frugal smile. I shifted my gaze to the woman with him, she was just looking at me seriously as she clung her arm to my husband even more, so I just smiled at her and then walked away.
"Pfft! You know girl, I have this feeling that those two will also break up." Ayesha while opening the second JD we ordered.
"There you are again with your gut feelings."
"Duh? When did I make a wrong guess? HAHAHA!"
"Now," I said laughing.
"You're a kill joy you know? But go ahead and don't believe it because maybe later you will hope. HAHAHA!" she moved to me then poured wine into my glass.
"I am starting to have a bad mood, you know that?"
"Is that what you called heartbroken?"
"One more word Ayesha, friendship over." I threatened her, instead of being scared she just laughed.
"Tsk! That looks bad sis," she said seriously before looking outside.
We are now in the VIP room, in our favorite bar. It's tinted so they can't see us from the outside. We have our own karaoke here that can be used but we prefer to listen to whatever music is played all over the place.
"Yeah, this is bad. Even I am was confused."
"Are you sure you don't love him?"
I leaned on the sofa and closed my eyes.
"I don't know, because I don't really know what love really is."
"It's hard to believe that I love him right away in just a few days of our marriage," I then continued to pour the wine into the glass again.
"Maybe you were just attracted to him right now, so stop it so you don't get hurt again."
Yeah, I should.
"Maybe he should also stop giving motives so that you don't fall too," she said seriously.
I just remembered everything again, what happened to us, the few days he took care of me.
"Maybe I'm the only one who really has a problem, I misunderstood everything too much."
"Seems like you're chained in that marriage."
I just shaken my shoulder because she was right. I'm already locked up in this marriage, so maybe that's why I want us to be as good as everyone else.
"Let's dance outside," Ayesha invited.
I know what she's doing. She just wants me to breathe, she wants me to forget even for now.
"Did I tell you how lucky I was to be your friend?"
As I expected we cringed together so we both just laughed.
"It's a bit ugly," she whispered to me as we walked to the dance floor.
"Damn! this is the literal pleasure. Wooooh !!" she shouted then swayed along with the loud play of the bar.
"Fvck Ayesha! We don't have a driver, you fvcking scam!" I laughed and shouted as I accompanied her movements.
"Oh, there's nothing ?! Let me find an instant driver later! AHAHA!" she shouted back because of the noise of the music.
"Driver above you!" I said and we both laughed.
"You have a future as a fortune teller! HAHAHA!"
"Let's have another drink first!"
We once fell into the high chair of the bar.
"The strongest hard drink," Ayesha and I said to the bartender.
We both just laughed as the bartender served the drink we were asking for.
"It's been 2 years Ayesha, you still can't move on with your ex?" I opened a topic then sank at the counter.
She did not speak immediately so I peeked at her.
She looked at the wine seriously then smiled for a moment.
"There are probably some things in the world that we will never forget." I could feel the bitterness in her voice as she let go of those words.
"He's stupid," I said angrily then took my shot too.
We shot hard drinks at the counter before we moved into the VIP room again to continue drinking there.
"* Hik! * Why don't you snatch him?"
"You're drunk Ayesha, do you think I'll stoop low?" I fired back while also leaning.
"Why? What's wrong with that? My man before was taken by others too. * sigh *."
We both fell silent.
"Fvck! Didn't you tell me that you will get a driver?"
"Stupid ssshk I can no longer * sigh! * walk. Just go back to the counter then random pick on your contacts for fun."
I just shook my head and did what she wanted, but because I could no longer walk too I just called the staff.
"Yes ma'am?"
I get my cellphone from the bag and looked at it even though I was about to squirm.
"You really are a fvcker Ayesha. Yeah, we did not reach the dawn, but still coming home late."
I put the cellphone on the table.
"Can you call anyone in my contacts to pick us here? Thank you." I said dizzily and then leaned back on the couch.
I even heard the familiar ringing tone of my cellphone but I just left it to the staff.
"Hello?" I listen to her talk.
"Ahh.. yes, Sir. They are here at the Asdfg Bar, maam is drunk. You just called correctly because they are looking for someone to pick them up."
"Okay sir. They are in the VIP room so no one will harm them."
"Okay sir. Welcome."
"Maam, Sir is coming here."
I just closed my eyes and nodded.
It is Dad probably.
Sorry dad I bothered you again.
"Hey bitch * Hik! * I've been wanting to do this for a long time, I just don't always have time." Ayesha while pressing the buzzer botton to ask for a waiter.
In less than a second the waiter arrived at the room we were occupying.
"And what the hell is that?" I asked with a frown then she looked at me.
She gave me a demonic smile.
"Body shot."
I just slapped my forehead then shook.
"What? That is so easy. We can also know if you will be attracted * hik! * to other men."
I thought for a moment then. She has a point, anyway there is nothing wrong right?
I laughed bitterly then faced her, "Game."
She clapped with joy and ordered tequila. "I will choose yours."
I just let her because I trust her taste. She won't pimp me out to a maniac or ugly.
"Okay, that one at the bar. The one with the red polo." She pointed, trembling.
I checked the guy, he's not that bad. He is also handsome but he looks familiar. "I think I saw him I just can't remember where."
Ayesha pushed me to start our plan.
I could do nothing but go out and went straight to the man she was referring to.
"Hi!" I greeted then lifted the tequila I was holding. Hoping that he'll understand immediately what I want to do.
He frowned at me. "Do you know I will die if you do that?"
"Is my beauty deadly?" I teased and chuckled.
"Just one, don't be kill joy. All right, even just in the hand." I insisted.
"You're drunk," he just said then held out his hand.
I smiled with joy. I thought he will reject me.
I put salt on his wrist before I finally swallowed the tequila I was holding. I would have licked it if only someone had held my arm tightly and converted me.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he speaks English fluently.
The effect of alcohol on my body disappeared due to the shock.
"W-what are you doing here?" I stammered a question to my husband.
Instead of answering me, he looked at the man I should have body shot.
"Woah! Chill! I'm innocent here," he said immediately as he raised both his hands.
"Tss! Take my wife's friend with you asshole," he said then gave him a punch.
I shouted because of that. I would have approached the man to check him but Andrei immediately dragged me away.
"FVCK! Castanio I'll kill you. Fvck!"
