Chapter 41
“Wait!”
Anya stopped walking when she heard a voice from behind her. When she looked back, Sofia’s angry face immediately appeared.
Sofia Vergara wearing a knee length off-shoulder dress. She looked like a model in her current form. Beautiful and stunning while walking along the building’s pathway. When she approached Anya, she immediately gave her a slap.
“Are you happy with what you did to my brother? You broke him, Anya! You hurt my brother!”she said angrily to Anya.
The way Sofia stared at Anya, it was obvious that she was mad. Who would be happy if she just left Andrius in front of the crowd while kneeling? She declined his proposal in public.
“Sorry,”Anya said and nodded. She didn’t want Sofia to see that she was hurting too. How she hated saying no to Andrius but she had to because it was necessary. Because, it was right.
Sofia laughed sarcastically.”Look at me!”she commanded Anya. Sofia was surprised when Anya followed and saw her face full of tears.”Don’t act as if you’re hurt because it doesn’t suit you. You don’t deserve my brother, anyway,”she said emphatically to Anya.
Anya’s tears kept falling even more after hearing those words from Andrius’sister. Words hurt when you knew they were true. The blade of words bit into her heart. But she had to endure the pain. She needed to be strong.
“I hope you will never show your face to Andrius again!”Sofia said and left.
Poorly, Anya wiped away the tears that still continued to flow on her cheeks. She turned around and started walking away from the area again. Sofia was right. She doesn’t deserve Andrius.
Anya touched her belly. Then she smiled bitterly. His chest tightened, again. She felt sorry for their unborn child. She felt sorry for Andrius. She felt sorry for everything.
“I love you, Andrius,”she whispered.
Anya was in lots of thoughts. She didn’t know where to go or whom to talk to. She was even dumbfounded when she arrived at the condo of Carla. She sighed. She thought of going to the place and saying goodbye to an old friend. She did a few more knocks before someone opened the door. Carla, her friend, immediately raised an eyebrow when she saw her.
“What are you doing here? Snakes are not allowed here in my condo,”Carla said immediately as she opened the door.
“I want to talk to you for a moment as civilized people, Carla,”Anya gently replied to Carla.
“What is that? I don’t have time for drama, Anya. Say what you want to say,”she said, easing the opening of her condo’s door.
Anya followed Carla as she entered the condo. Funny how they ended things. Best friends to enemies.
Anya looked around the place. She used to live with Carla, too. Her friend’s condo was also her home during the times when she had nowhere to go. But things have changed. It was inevitable.
They both sat down on the couch and were silent. Feeling each other while staring. But Anya broke the silence.
“I just want to say thank you for everything. I know we’ve been true to each other. I consider you a sister, Carla. And I’m sorry if you think I dared you. Maybe, it’s true. Maybe, I’m a bad friend,”Anya said while staring at Carla’s face.
“Don’t you really know Anya?”Carla asked directly.
“No,”Anya answered emphatically.
Carla sighed at what Anya said. Her face reflected sadness. Carla’s eyes were weary. Moments later, tears welled up in her eyes.
Anya knew why. She also knew what that was for. It was for her.
“I’m sorry, Anya. I know you’re hurt. I saw how you rejected him. I also saw how much you’re hurting now. I am a bad friend, Anya. I became selfish.”Carla’s emotional while wiping away her own tears.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Anya wasted no time. She stood up and approached her. She hugged Carla tightly and they cried on each other’s shoulders. They both felt the pain. They’re both dealing the consequences. Pain caused by wrong decisions. And things that could never be undone. When the two got tired of crying they fixed themselves down. They also wiped the tears from their cheeks.
Anya grabbed Carla’s palm and held it tight. She was happy. Despite their misunderstanding, they also got along. Maybe, things should be done to test how strong their bond as friends. Maybe, it was really inevitable.
