CARDS OF HEARTS

Have you ever felt of giving up your life because everything is out of control?

Have you ever felt betrayed after knowing that the one who will hurt you the most is the person who you love the most.

Like your ready to close your eyes and pretend nothing happened just so you can still be with that person.

Killing yourself just for others

Enduring the pain

I thought doing that will bring back everything of how it supposed to be

Because if I were to say goodbye

Then I'm afraid

I'll be alone-

They betrayed me

and made a fool out of me

I guess everything was a lie

Marj POV

I felt wronged. He cancelled our anniversary dinner date because there was emergency in their work. I thought his busy in his office but then why-

Why did I see him with another girl? I can't see her face very well because she's wearing a hat but her figure is so familiar to me. Wait. Is he-

No. I must not jump to any conclusion. What if I'm wrong? I'm a horrible person for thinking about it. I just need to follow them and ask him. Maybe this was just misunderstanding.

"Justin where are you?" I asked him with curiosity in my voice but making sure that everything is normal.

"I'm still busy at the work, Marj. Don't worry, I'll make it fast so I can go home early okay?" And he hung up. I stare where he is. He's with a girl and smiling right in front of me.

Suddenly rain fall down- they're sharing an umbrella while I'm here following them, soaking wet.

This is just his co-worker. I think they're from the meeting and just happened to have the same street to go- but this is not our way home and he lied. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from thinking something worst.

I'll try to call my sister to ask her if I can spend the night with her in the apartment. We should-

'Huh?' The girl's phone- why is she looking at her phone as if someone is calling? When she put it in her bag, the ringing on my phone just stop.

No way. No way. I'm just hysterical because I'm to cold in this rain. I should just go home or I'll get a fever.

I turned back and decides not to follow them anymore or I'll get weird and negative thoughts. It isn't right. As I keep walking in the rain, I noticed a bar. It's not really crowded and seems I need to drink.

I went in and sat at the chair.

"Woah dear. You're soaking wet!" A middle aged woman holding a tray look at me with worry. "I'm sorry. Am I bother? Should I just-" Before I can leave the bar, the woman stop me.

"It is not good for your health dear. Why don't you just take a shower in one of our room here and spend a night?" I looked at her in the eyes and I can see her sincerity.

"Don't worry, We won't charge you except for the food. My mother insist after all." A soft cottoned towel was thrown right at my face. WHAT THE- I pulled the towel in anger and glare at the guy-

"What? Have a problem missy?" Is he a gangster? He has a black long hair in ponytail and a tattoo in his neck and right hand. He has also a buff body-

"Hey! That's not the right way to give a towel to our costumer!" He just stare at us and then walk away. What the heck is wrong with him? The woman sigh.

"I'm so sorry about my son." The woman smiled. I just nod at her, "I'll pay. One room for one night, please. And a dinner." She nod and guide me to my room upstairs. There's also people drinking and eating.

"Just go down stair after you finish here. There are night gown in there and a pair of clothes for you to wear while drying your clothes." She went down stair and I took a shower immediately. I'm so thankful that there's hot water in here.

End of POV

After Marj finish taking a shower, she stares at the pair of clothes above the bed.

'shorts and white t-shirt huh.' She take the towel from her body and put on the clothes. Marj went down stair and the smell of food reach from her nose.

'A delicious smell.' She smiled and sits from one of the chair in the counter. A man with an apron greet at her and put down her food. Rice with creamy pork chop, 5 piece of tempura with one piece of chicken, and lastly a bowl of miso soup.

"If you want a dessert, just call me dear okay?" She just nod and starts eating. While Marj is eating, a pair of blue eyes stares at her, standing at the second floor.

'Looks like Aileen.' He goes back to his room.

Marj Pov

Wow the food was delicious. I jump right at the bed and sigh. I think I'm just over-reacting about what happened tonight. Let's just sleep tonight.

I....can't sleep. It's already midnight and yet I'm wide awake. And most reason of it cause I keep thinking about Justin and that girl.

Should I just confront them? But- what if justin took it in the wrong way and get mad at me? I don't want that. But if I don't talk to him about it then It'll make me feel miserable and maybe there's misunderstanding too.

I should have grab a drink earlier if I knew I'll be awake till now. I sigh and tried to think what should I do. I stood up and went down stair. The lights are all dim and there's no people anymore. I bought money with me just in case I found something I can buy but there's no-

Ohh a vending machine. I quickly fasten my pace and put some coins at the vending machine. I should really drink tonight. After I get my drink, I sit in the bench near the vending machine.

I have four beer can with me. This will be enough. As I keep drinking, what happened tonight keeps appearing in my head. I did bring my phone with me too hoping Justin would wonders and call why I haven't home yet.

I grunt and drink the whole can in one go. Am I having doubts? But it's Justin. My soon to be husband. No way he'll cheat on me. His family already knew me and seems to like me too.

I looked at the two opened cans at my side. I grab the other can and drink it in one go too. I slightly slammed the can beside me and made me jump a little.

I looked around to see if there's people around but I guess I'm safe. I shouldn't be loud-

"Drinking alone huh, missy?" I immediately turn back to see who talk and I can see a guy with hair wet and topless while holding a can beer.

"Is it okay?" It's the asshole 'son'. I can see the tattoo in his right hand till his neck. Ohh that's a whole lot of tattoo. He has the aura of a bad boy-

"Stop staring. Creepy missy" I raised my right eyebrow. WHAT THE HECK DID HE JUST CALLED ME?

"Okay mister! That's it! I need you sit right here cause we need to talk about that ass-" I didn't even finish what I'm saying but he suddenly sit beside me where there's only a small space. The cans are the other side so-

"Okay. I'm all yours" He looked up and stared at my eyes.

huh? WHAT?
