Kiss of Revenge

“No..it can’t be…” I uttered inside my brain. “It is impossible…..perhaps I am just hallucinating..”

I know he can’t do this to me…am I going crazy?

“I think…I think I am going…I am going to c—”

I held onto a bar and closed my eyes. I think my knees trembled, and anytime, I might pass out of shock.

Out of the blue, I can see someone in my peripheral vision, heading towards where I am standing at. I immediately wipe my tears, and peek at the person standing next to me.

“What are you doing there?” I immediately pushed Ash away from the comfort room.

“Come on? What are you doing?!” he whispered as I kept on pushing him towards our seat. “Why do you keep on pushing me away?”

“Someone’s doing something in there. Let’s respect their privacy!” I whispered and pushed him towards our seat. I don’t want him to see the couple in there. It would definitely cause chaos, and I don’t want to make one.

“But why do you seem so affected?” I paused for a moment and sighed. I placed my palm on my face and started rubbing it. I am trying to pull myself together, but I can’t help but break down.

“Hey, are you alright?” he asked and tapped my shoulder. “Did you see some ghost or something? Why are you crying?” He removed my palms from my face and raised my chin.

“Hey, what’s the matter?” he asked. “You are free to tell me, I am a part of your family.”

I shook my head and slowly rested my forehead on his shoulder.

“I trusted him…” I whispered. “I gave him everything. I tried my best…but it wasn’t enough..”

“That motherfucker..” I saw him clenching his fist, the reason why I immediately touched it. “What did he do this time?”

“I heard…I heard his voice inside the comfort room…” I sobbed. “Making out with..making out with someone..or I don’t know, it could be worse..” He moved me away and stood up. He was about to head towards the comfort room, but luckily, I was able to drag him back to our seat.

“Why are you guys making so much noise? Everyone’s sleeping.” we were taken aback when someone scolded us. We looked at each other and laughed a little. He gave me a handkerchief and glanced at the window.

“So what’s your plan?” he asked.

“Well, are you going to help me in case?”

“Do you want me to?” without any second thought, I nodded.

“It would be nice, I think,” I answered. “But..I think I could handle this..”

He squinted his eyes. Perhaps he has no idea what I am talking about, but either way, I will do it.

When we finally arrived at the airport, I could already feel the fresh air greeting us. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself amidst the chaos. However, someone pushed my shoulder, making me open my eyes. When I turned around, I saw Tina holding an enormous bag.

“Oh, I didn’t see you there. I didn’t think you would be Sasha. You look like an old maid.” I was taken aback when Tina uttered these words. After what happened earlier, perhaps she thought she had the upper hand.

“Hey, you are already here!” We both looked at the group of people walking towards us. “We’ve been waiting for you!”

“Well, I had to–”

“Ouch!” Tina complained and immediately dropped the bag she was holding. “This is so heavy! Can someone help me?”

“Hey, Sasha, can you bring her bag instead?” asked Ana. “Also, did my brother give you a ticket?” I furrowed my brows and looked at my husband, who is currently looking guilty.

“Ticket for what?” I laughed. “I mean, he didn’t tell me anything. What do you guys mean?”

“We will be going to another place since Tina wants to go to the countryside instead,” Ana explained and placed her arm around Tina. “Therefore, we will be going to the countryside.”

What does she have that makes these people go crazy? They worship her as if she has the cure for a fucking disease.

“Also, we will be meeting her family there! Who knows? Maybe the tables might turn and one day you wake up, you guys are already divorced!” Cecille really loves to make weird and uncomfortable jokes.

“Also, can you just, bring all of our luggage? It’s not that many. Besides, you will be taking a train, right?” Tina asked.

“What the fuck do you mean?” Ash laughed and crossed his arms. “She’s not your maid. Besides, you guys have hands!”

I smiled widely at Hans’ family and fixed my hair.

“Okay! No problem.” I can see how Ash’s eyebrows went up, making me laugh a little.

“Oh, please don’t forget to leave your wallet to Ana. I’ll be using it for the payment.” Hans added.

I grinned and nodded.
