Anya finished her cotton candy and felt much better. She idled and enjoyed the scenery in the park for a while. When suddenly, her phone rang.
She saw Marie’s name and immediately picked it up.
“Hey darling, how did it go?” Marie greeted. Anya sighed before she answered.
“He refused.”
“What?!” Marie exclaimed.
“Why would he?! What’s his problem now?” she aggressively added.
“He said I didn’t satisfy his business partner, so he wouldn’t let me off that easily,” Anya answered with a scoff.
“Wow, he really is an asshole!” Marie ranted and cursed Andrei for a while. Finally, she invited Anya to a bar and drink. They needed to let out this big ball of stress.
Anya tried to refuse, but because of her friend’s strong ability to persuade, she finally agreed to drink. Anyway, she was not alone.
They agreed to meet up in a famous bar.
When Anya arrived, Marie was already there, waiting.
“I already ordered. Now, tell me the details.” Marie immediately asked. Anya told her everything that had happened. She was so angry that she felt she could scratch Andrei’s face right now.
And speaking of the devil, it wasn’t known if Marie’s prayers were answered, but Andrei showed up in the exact same bar. The girls were surprised, and Marie immediately flared up in anger as she marched to Andrei.
“Hey, bastard!” She yelled. Andrei was just about to order in front of the bartender when a woman suddenly came up to him. He looked at her and immediately recognized her. It was Anya’s best friend, Marie.
“How could you do those nasty things to Anya? Are you still in your right mind?!” she exclaimed. Andrei just lazily glanced at her and looked around the bar. And as he expected, he saw his wife sitting on U shaped couch not far from him. He watched her darkly and smirked at her mockingly.
Anya was about to stop Marie, but she was too fast. She also couldn’t stomach being close to Andrei. So, she pulled on a waitress and asked her to stop her friend. The waiter saw that a fight was about to happen, and she immediately responded.
“Ma’am, please calm down. If you keep creating a fuss, we will be forced to drag you out.” The waitress convinced Marie.
Marie was still pissed but backed down. She also doesn’t want to make a fool out of herself just for this useless man. She marched back to their table and angrily sat.
“Don’t be angry now. It is no use, we will just waste our energy.” Anya appeased her friend.
“But I can’t just sit here and watch that walking d*ck roam unbothered in front of my eyes. I need to give him a piece of my thoughts.” Marie answered angrily. Hearing this, Anya sighed and suggested.
“We should just leave.”
“What? Why should we be the ones to leave? It is he who should be ashamed. We are staying!” Marie stubbornly refuted.
Anya could only shake her head and sipped her drink. She wasn’t planning to look at Andrei, but he was clearly poking at her patience.
Andrei pulled on a girl and was now kissing her wildly in front of her. And while doing that, he was staring straight at Anya, clearly teasing and irritating her.
“What the! The nerve of this guy!” Marie sat furiously as she also watched this wanton man act like a brute in front of them.
Anya tried her best not to mind him. This was so funny. She was just watching her husband kissing another woman in front of her. Well, not for long, that is.
From her anger, Anya downed and drank more than she had planned. The woman around Andrei also increased, as he had girls side by side. But looking at Anya, who was unbothered, he too was irritated and drank a lot. He was kissing girls, and they were feeding him a lot and different kinds of alcohol. Not long, he started to get dizzy.
He pushed away the women and went to the bathroom to freshen up. His walking was no longer straight. Wow, he was really drunk. He thought.
When he arrived at the bathroom, he leaned on the sink and closed his eyes, resting and sobering for a while.
Anya and Marie saw Andrei going to the bathroom from their seat. And suddenly, Marie had a wicked idea.
“Stay here,” She told Anya and stood up from the couch. “Where are you going?” Anya asked her.
“Collecting debts,” Marie answered mysteriously as she walked towards the bathroom with an evil glint in her eyes.
She entered the men’s bathroom and saw Andrei dazedly leaning on the sink. She pulled him out of there and pushed him into the woman’s bathroom instead.
She took out her phone and took pictures of Andrei while inside the women’s area.
Andrei, on the other hand, was so intoxicated he was not aware of what was happening. Marie pushed him into an embarrassing state and photographed him gloatingly.
When she was done, she immediately went out of the bathroom. She went back to their couch and drank some martini.
Marie downed it all and watched her friend. When she saw that she already had too much to drink, she suggested they leave.
Anya also felt she had drunk enough and approved. They took a cab to go to Anya’s apartment. They were walking shoulder to shoulder and were laughing while walking. Marie told her what she had just done.
“What crazy thing did you do?” Anya chuckled dazedly. They entered her apartment while talking about this. They were so drunk that they collapsed on the bed.
“You should just sleep here, it’s late. It is no longer safe for you to go home alone.” She said. Marie accepted her offer because she felt an incoming headache. The both of them passed out on Anya’s large bed.
Time passed by when Anya woke up from her sleep. She looked at the time and saw it was 3 am. She had a headache, but she felt uncomfortable sleeping without freshening up, so she took a shower. She changed her clothes and drank some warm water to sober up. She brought out a wet towel to wipe her friend face and body. She arranged for her to sleep in a comfortable position and also laid down beside her.
She covered both of them with a blanket. Anya stared at the ceiling for a while.
She remembered what had happened in the bar. She felt hurt and betrayed, she couldn’t deny that. But what she felt more was anger. She sighed. It was so tiring. She just wants to throw and run away from all of these.
But she suddenly remembered what had happened in the park. She shifted in her position and lay on her sides.
She drew the blankets close and smiled. Even if how hard and depressing life is, there will always be something that will bring happiness to everyone. Even just little things.
Thinking till this far, she hoped and believed that someday, she too would find her true happiness.
With that, Anya closed her eyes and slept peacefully.
