"You!!" She glared at the figure standing in front of her.
"How dare you show your face here"..
Jayden just stared at her. He wasn't actually expecting her to be here at all but then it's obvious that her best friend would want to seek comfort so he should have thought about that. He had been avoiding Kira since yesterday cause he knew how brutal she could get.
"Please Kira, I just want to talk to Mira " ..he pleaded and judging from his looks , he was terribly ugly at that moment. Her highschool hearthrob looked like a beggar from the streets. Dark circles around his eyes, tattered hair, he even stinks of alcohol. Kira couldn't believe she would live to see Jayden like this but then....she couldn't care less not after everything he did to her friend.
She scoffed at his statement.." you want to see her huh??" She asked sarcastically and rolled her eyes. "Quit pretending Jayden. I don't know why you made yourself look like this. But let me let you know one thing, there's no way am going to let you talk to her so forget it" she had to make it clear to him but one thing is for sure, she will make sure he and Layla regret everything they did to Mira even if it's the last thing she does.
"You don't understand. I just need to see her please. I need her to forgive me. I need her to clear up things with her..please" he could tell that he really meant his words but Kira wasn't planning on having Mercy on him. She had never liked him from the beginning and she was never in support of Mira's relationship with him but then for the sake of her friendship. She had to just allow it. She had always been suspicious of him but then she didn't want Mira to be hurt so she shifted her doubts away.
"I want you to understand one thing and that is the fact that Mira can never be yours again. You didn't value her and I don't think you ever will" she paused. Jayden was about to say something but she held up her hand indicating for him not to say anything.
"You will pay for this and I promise you that" the emotions in her eyes when she said those words made him gulp hard because he knew she meant it.
"And I won't stop dealing with you till the day Mira has a reason to smile again. Till then , just watch out. Cause your end has begun"...she slammed the door on his face and a wicked gleam could be seen in her eyes. Leaving no doubt that she was going to surely deal with him.
"Who was that?" Mira asked coming out from the bathroom. Kira turned and went to help her. She didn't want her to slip and fall.
"The mail delivery man. He was asking whether we had any mails" Kira lied keeping a very calm expression not to serious and not too joking. She didn't want Mira to suspect her and know of her plans. She knew Mira will never be in support of hurting Jayden for two reasons. One....she may still be in love with him and two.... she was too kind-hearted to do any harm to anyone. I guess that's why God brought Kira into her life. To help her avenge those that hurt her since she couldn't do it herself. Kira has been serving as her guardian angel right from childhood and will continue to serve as one .
"Here's your soup. Am sure you will feel better after taking it" Kira gave her the bowl and sat down beside Mira.
"Make sure you finish it" she added quickly with a smile and Mira returned the smile.
Then , another knock could be heard.
Kira immediately thought it was Jayden and decided to open the door but then...."don't worry I'll get it" Mira immediately said and went for the door. Kira gritted her teeth hoping it wasn't Jayden coming back to try his luck again.
"Mom!" Mira shouted happily and hugged the woman by the door. Kira immediately released a breath she didn't know she was holding and smiled.
" Mom" Kira too called out. She had long been calling Mira's mom as her own.
The woman looked very exhausted from the day's work but seeing her two daughters, she smiled.
***********************
1 week later...
Although things had been really hard for Mira and her mom, they managed to survive on her mom's earnings and Kira who would support them once in awhile. Things really became hard for them but Mira never gave up. Rather she continued her search for job even though she was still trying to recover from the heartbreak. She was even more upset that he had never even made any attempt to talk to her and reconcile. Actually she had been hoping to deny him forgiveness. She wanted to make him beg her for a very long time but he just made feel like a fool. He couldn't even come to clear things up with her .
Yes, she had caught him cheating on her but she was hoping that he would have an explanation for her...an explanation that would make sense but no....he didn't even bother....he doesn't care.
She made sure to tell her mom about Jayden and her break up.
Truth be told ....her mother was extremely disappointed when she heard everything. She knew how much her daughter loves him ,how much she sacrificed but yet, he cheated on her.
In addition to everything, she had trusted him with her daughter. She knew that it was too early for her daughter to be in love and she wished she had stopped her on time but she felt it was high time her daughter saw how the world really was, how good it felt to love and be loved and how cruel love could be too..
She was once in her daughter shoes, she had experience heart break countless times and although she never wanted her daughter to go through what she went through, this had made her realize that maybe her daughter is destined with the same situation. That she was destined to experience heart break and judging from the way she took her first heartbreak, the next one might completely break her. She didn't want her to go through this again.
It's been one week but yet, Mira could still feel her heart in pain. To compensate for the pain,Kira ensured she dealt with Jayden.
"Make sure, you give it to him everyday. Let him suffer what he did to Mira"this was an instruction given out by Kira to her men and everyday, Jayden is reminded of what he did.
Kira really kept to her promise and didn't make things easy for him.
Everyday as he walked on the street he was always beaten by the men Kira hired and he wasn't allowed to see Mira. Everything was also turning out complicated for him.
The thing is he's an orphan and is being raised up by people who didn't birthed him. But they never made him feel like he wasn't their child. They pampered him and he became spoilt. He thought he could have everything and any one. He wanted Layla and Mira at the same time but in reality it's not possible.
Now, all thanks to Kira, he has been losing contract to be a model. It has been his biggest dreams and Kira was gradually killing his dreams and suppressing it. He couldn't bare everything anymore. He felt like everything was crashing down in just one week...
"Oh God"..
************************
After another unsuccessful day searching for a job, Mira grabbed coffee from the cafe and headed home. Checking her wristwatch,she knew her mom would be back already from her night shift.
Opening the door , she entered the house.
"Mom ...am home" she announced but as soon as she entered, she found her mom sleeping on the couch and looking tired."she must be so exhausted" ..she grabbed a blanket and covered her properly.
She then sat down reminiscing about everything that had happened to her in the past two months. Then, someone knocked on the door.
The door awaken her mom from sleep..
"I'll get it"...
She went to open the door but then was quite surprised.
"Who is it?" Her mom asked from inside .
"The cops..."
