It was the hour when the sun no longer hid behind the clouds but stood high above the earth ,stretching its golden rays across the vast land. The once lonely roads of dawn were now stirring with footsteps,as the mood of the morning began to stretch across the waking world.
As the time click clacked it's way,
Shen Jiu Jiu remained in a deep slumber ,but nobody can blame her ! The previous night had exacted a heavy toll .
She had poured every ounce of herself into her work for this year's Gala Theme. She was to return to her studio to step into digit spotlight.
Shen Jiu Jiu was blessed with a beautiful face , her jade fair skin , huge eyes her wavy brown hairs that flowed made her look very charming !
She had innocent features but was very mischievous to begin with ,like a local gang leader
But what was the best thing Shen Jiu jiu had ?
Then it would definitely be her ability to scold people !
Shen Jiu Jiu was considered excellent in her studies ,But the only result certificate that was supposed to bound to her for the rest of her life,she screwed in those exams.
Reason ?
No specific reason she had her interest all gone .
She scored a full eighty percent ! A full 80%!
Which wasn't considered that low ,but with the family of strict scholar father and scholar siblings,cousins ,she was somewhat a disgrace!
She continuously screwed up in all the competitive exams and took a drop off.
Let's see in 10 years who reaches where !
That's what she used to think and encourage herself !
Enough of getting things out of her hand , Shen Jiu Jiu completely changed her line of career from her initial options and got into Fashion Designing .
Just then the repetitive trill of the phone broke the delicate peace of the lavender tinted room. The sole occupant stirred lazily while the phone rang through the silence like an intruder- urgent and impossible to ignore.
She barely had her thumb swiped the glass when a storm of sorrow surged through the phone. It was not a greeting that she expected but rather a wail, raw, untamed grief from the other side. The kind of weeping that twisted the gut and gave a peculiar feeling.
Did something happened?
The instant she heard the weeping on the other end of the line,the dreams that held her in a euphoric haze began to dissolve ,vanishing like a mist into a rising fog.She sat up abruptly her back straightened. Her bestfriend, Li Qin who had just embraced love -was now crumbling,for the very reason.
Panick flared in her chest ,her voice thick of concern
"Babe ? Babe, what happened?!"
The sobs continued,the sun despite its brilliance could not burn away the misery in the air.
She kept asking ,her tone growing more desperate with each repetition. Then without a word ,a photo appeared in the inbox .
She hadn't even wiped the sleep from her eyes the remnants of dream still clinging like dust in her lashes .Yet instinctively,she opened the image.
Two figures sat across from each other at a dimly lit table with a big bouquet of red rose and a small velvet box which rested on the table .There was a heavy air of ambiguity shared between them -an intimacy both clear and unreadable.
"Th-thats ...m..my boy.-boyfriend.." her friend choked between the hiccups as all the type of emotions rushed barely holding her voice together.
As she connected the dots ,the truth struck her.
She understood everything.
_
Not even an hour had passed before Li Qin arrived at her doorstep, throwing into her arms as she continued crying heavily.
Her bestfriend Li Qin worked in a reputated Corporate company and herself was a badass,
She from a third friend came to knew that her present boyfriend already had a girlfriend before and they were still dating !
She realised and couldn't accept how she had somehow had become a third party in a relationship!
All she wanted to do was expose the scumbag doings .
Li Qin felt very humilated !
As afternoon descended,the scorched heat of the sun seeped through the lavender tinted curtains,casting a muted glow across the room .
Li Qin sat hunched on the edge of the soft cushion ,her eyes swollen red ,her voice trembling as she spoke -letting the weight of everything pour out in those fragile ,broken words.
"That Bastard !" Shen Jiu Jiu was so angry, her voice laced with venom .She scolded him thoroughly, she gave out a sigh of relief as she saw her bestfriend's mood lift up .
So they both began another round of gossip !
After a while, she suddenly suggested
"You know what , let's go shopping!" Shen Jiu jiu said excitedly as she ran to another room .
Li Qin gave a thought and agreed quickly
She began rummaging through her wardrobe,a curated chaos of high fashion pieces many of which were her own design.
"A beautiful lady can only be happy after shopping !"
Shen Jiu Jiu declared with a frick of her wrist.
It was late in the evening when the duo concluded their shopping spree. As they reached the apartment, Shen Jiu Jiu quickly ordered food , picked the beer open and all sort of snacks opened on the huge table before the sofa.
"Pick up the phone and call that scoundrel ! Abuse him -yell at him ! Until you shout at him , you won't feel better " Shen Jiu jiu said as she passed the can of beer to her and nudged her to take the action quickly.
According to her
Destroying the enemy was the most important step !
Li Qin who herself had the similar personality couldn't agree less but was still hesitant but eventually give in when she saw the mischievous glint in her bestfriends eye.
"Hello" it was the scumbag Ex that answered
"You idiot!" Li Qin said , as she looked sideways only to see Shen Jiu Jiu encouraging her.
She saw her Jiu Jiu hand coming forward ! As she was pulled by her shoulder
Jiu jiu : Bro ! Come on ! Dont give him some tiny weak one ! Go all out , let it all out !"
Li Qin suddenly felt like laughing , she giggled and shouted
"You bastard ! Idiot , good for nothing ! Guys like you have their brain rotten ! Even dogs are better than you ! "
Jiu jiu : Come on ! More !
Li qin : You dont deserve me ,Bastard!
Jiu jiu : ha ! Crazyy
As she patted her Qin qin head .
