Chapter 65 - Lovers Friends (1/2)

A broken lover's heart is very hard to mend. It's like a broken glass, bring shattered into such small, tiny pieces. So, trying to fix it would be a fool's joke.

Here we are, sitting together, in the early morning, instead of going to work, consoling my wife's best friend who just got rejected by her. Life is so small and funny at the same time. I can't believe I'm easily forgiving this piece of shit, who tried to break my marriage, steal my woman and not the least, give my wife an open proposal to choose him if she ever leaves me.

Ironic? Isn't it.

I am rather calmed about the whole situation where else I was supposed to be freaking out or burning into the flames of jealousy. But no, that's something a fool would do. Someone like Ray, stupid enough to scheme these type of childish act on his own.

At the current moment, Ray has drunk two bottles of wine by himself. Me and Stella just sat down with him to give him company. It took him only few minutes to burst into tears. No matter how cruel it sounds, I was kinda irritated with it and so was Stella.

We had already wasted our day by not going to our work. I mean after Ray decided to stay here for a drink, I really felt that I should at least show him some hospitality. That time when he came to our house he was kinda driven away by us,especially Stella.

” I can't believe.” *hiccup* ”you-” *hiccup* ”You saw my dɨċk!” *hiccup* ” It's not fair! And-” *hiccup* ” and you even compared it to that guy!”

It was just trash talk so, neither of us bother to be fazed by his remarks. On the contrary, we were smiling, seeing him like that. His nose and eyes were red after crying so much. He was still weeping like a kid as he kept on talking nonsense.

” What I'm gonna do now?” *hiccup* ” My life's over” *hiccup* ” I wanna be happy.” Ah. They say that a drunk person is a very interesting creature. You either get beat up by them or enjoy their shit talk.

” We shouldn't have let him drink here.” Stella said with an worn out look.

Yes, even after all the things that have happened, I was not telling Stella to break her friendship. Ray was with her since the beginning and he didn't had the bad intention to hurt Stella.

It was all his foolishness that led him to take the wrong road. Friends are important. It took me a long time to realised it's value.

If I imagine my life, where I had never encountered with Luke, if I had not interacted with him, if I had not been friends with him, I would have tuned into a block of ice.

He was the one, who made the efforts to be friends with me. He was with me in my sad days and good days. He was there when I needed a person to talk. That's what friends are for. You need them in your life because they are like your siblings, they are like your family, they are like your mentor and some time they are like lovers. They gave you the affection which can be same as your lover. But they will still be your friends. You get everything in the package.

” I was sad to think that I will have to stop contacting Ray. You know that I forgive people easily, in fact I had forgiven him the moment when we left his house. For me it's hard to see people leave.” Her eyes were sparking, gleaming like glitter but I can't tell if that's her sorrow or grief or regret or something else.

” Because once they leave, they never came around.” I knew it since she had been suffering from her insecurities. Her life had been putting her in so many tough situations where she had to pick the road to make others happy.

But was she happy? Have anyone asked her that?
