Alexa was sitting and looking at herself in the mirror. ‘This day, I will get tied to the Devil forever. I will never be free.’ A tear escaped from her eyes.
‘I’m only 21, for God’s sake… Why do I need to suffer all this misery? What did I do in my past life to earn me this suffering? I don’t deserve this shit.’ She cried silently while waiting for someone to call her.
The door opened, and she hurriedly wiped her tears away. It was Maxime who entered the room. She is wearing a simple blue maxi dress. “Hey-- Oh, are you crying?” Maxime asked when she noticed Alexa’s makeup in the reflection got smudged. “Don’t cry now. Look…” Maxime pointed at their reflection. “You look like a panda now that your makeup got ruined.” They both chuckled. “At least, I made you smile.” Alexa smiled at her sincerely.
“Thank you, Maxime. I’m grateful to be your friend.” Maxime shook her head.
