" You? " Emya said,she little bit surprised.
" Yes… it's me," Sophie replied
Emya stood still for a moment before stepping aside. " Come in."
As Sophie entered the house, Emya's mother noticed her from the living room.
"Emya, who came?" her mother called.
"Mom, it's my friend Sophie."
"Oh! Sophie, how are you?" her mother asked.
"I'm good, aunty. How are you?" Sophie replied.
" I'm doing great."
Emya was still staring at Sophie. Sophie noticed her expression and laughed softly.
"Emya, why do you look so shocked to see me?"
"Because you appeared suddenly i am little bit shoke," Emya answered.
"I came because I needed something nearby. I thought I might as well visit your house."
"Oh… I see. Sit down," Emya said.
They both sat across from each other. Sophie looked around the house before smiling again.
"So, Emya… how is life going? Everything good?"
"Yes. Everything is good."
"And you… have you thought about when you will get married?"
"Marriage? Not really."
"Oh? That's surprising."
Before Sophie could say anything else—The front door suddenly opened.Emya's husband walked inside. " Oh, Sophie. You're here," he said.
"Yes. How are you?" Sophie replied.
"I'm good. How about you?"
"I'm doing well."
Her husband looked at both of them. " So what are you two talking about?"
Emya smiled slightly " We were talking about Sophie's marriage."
"Oh?"
At that moment, Sophie and Emya's husband looked at each other.Neither of them spoke.
Emya quietly noticed their reaction.
"What happened to you two? Why are you suddenly silent?" she asked.
" Wait… you two keep talking. I'll bring something for you to eat."
"But I don't need anything. Emya, don't go," Sophie said.
But Emya didn't want to stay there any longer.Ever since she had heard rumors that her husband might be cheating, something inside her had been restless. Whenever he talked to another woman, her chest felt tight.
And now…
Seeing him with her best friend made her heart beat even faster.Her chest felt heavy, but she forced herself to stay calm. Because Crying wouldn't change anything.
What had already happened could not be undone.
I know it's sad, she thought.But sometimes you have to say goodbye. Because now… I am nothing to him.
She wanted to hate him.But every time he came close to her, she couldn't.
But now…She didn't want him anymore.
She was simply too tired.Sometimes she even prayed for death.Emya wasn't someone who liked to complain.She didn't like talking too much either.Most of the time, she simply listened.
" Emya… what happened? Where are you lost?" Sophie called.
Emya blinked " I was just thinking about something."
"Like what?" Sophie asked.
"Nothing."
After a moment, Sophie stood up " I should go now. I have some work."
Emya's husband immediately spoke " Why are you in such a hurry? You can stay with us today."
"Yes, you should stay," Emya also said.
"No… I really have a lot of work," Sophie replied.
Emya looked at her silently.But she didn't want Sophie to leave yet.She still wanted to talk to her about her husband.She wanted to tell her everything.She searched for an excuse to stop Sophie from leaving, but nothing came to her mind.
Finally she said,
"Sophie… get ready quickly. Are you staying or not? I'm not feeling well. I need to sleep."
"What happened? Emya, are you okay?" Sophie asked worriedly.
"Not really."
"Then I'll stay tonight and take care of you," Sophie said.
Emya gave a smile" Don't worry about me. Think about yourself."
Her husband looked annoye " She wants to take care of you, and you're still acting like this?"
" I'm fine," Emya said.
" I'm going to bed. Do whatever you want."
With that, she walked toward her room.She decided she would talk about everything in the morning.
Maybe Sophie could help her.
---
It was 2:00 in the night.
Emya suddenly heard a faint noise coming from outside her room.Her eyes slowly opened.For some reason, she already had a feeling about where the sound was coming from.
Still…
She got up from her bed.Quietly, she walked toward the bathroom.
And when she looked inside—
Her world froze.
Her husband and her best friend.were together in an intimate situation.
Emya stood there, completely shocked.
She had never expected something like this.
Her mind refused to accept what she was seeing.Without saying a single word, she ran back to her room.
Tears began falling from her eyes as she cried like a child.
" How… how is this possible?"
" She is my best friend…"
" She would never do this to me…"
"No… no… it's not possible."
Maybe my eyes were mistaken.Maybe the girl in the bathroom wasn't Sophie.Unable to believe what she saw, Emya walked back to the bathroom once more.
She looked carefully.Hoping she was wrong.
But this time…
She could see clearly.
It was Sophie.Her best friend.
Her heart broke fully.Without saying anything, Emya turned around and went back to her bed.
She tried to sleep.Inside her mind she kept repeating -- This isn't real.This is just a dream.isn't real.Yes isn't real
But sleep never came.Tears slowly rolled down her face.
" Why…" she whispered.
" Why Sophie…?"
" What did I ever do to you Sophie ?"
Suddenly, her chest tightened.A sharp pain spread through her heart.The pain grew stronger.
And stronger.
Until it became unbearable.
Emya clutched her chest and screamed.The scream echoed throughout the entire house.
Everyone woke up and rushed toward her room.
"What happened, Emya?"
"What's wrong?"
"Emya!"
But this time…
Not a single word came from her lips.She had already lost consciousness.Everyone rushed her to the hospital.
But the question remained—
What had suddenly happened to her?
Why did her chest pain start like that?
Was it only because of her broken heart…
Or was there another reason behind it?
