Four

Few days have passed and yet the pain is still there. It's like it was imprinted on my chest so deeply that it's hard to get rid of it. And in those few days I felt like I had lost hope to live, like everything was meaningless.
"It's not as if he'll come back if you're gonna stay here every day and night. Girl, you need to wake up and move on. The world is spinning okay. You're running out of time to enjoy yourself because of someone who doesn't deserve your worth." Viy resorted.
From the day she accompanied me to the Villa until now when I'm crying and being a hopeless romantic woman here in the room, she's been there.
I took a deep breath before covering myself with a blanket. I feel kind of irritated because she keeps on saying the same words every time she comes here.
She suddenly pulled the blanket from my body. I looked at her badly and saw that she was frowning and looking at me irritated.
"Viy, please. For the million times, I'm begging you to leave me alone. I'm not in the mood to go out and go with you. Please. Can't you feel what I feel right now? Do you think I still have the time to go bar hunting with this situation of mine?" I told her with a plea.
She's been forcing me to go to a bar and drink since the other day. I have refused her invitation several times but she still doesn't want to stop.
"What do you want to do? Lay around here and cry while the shameless guy who cheated on you and your flirtatious friend are having fun? You're crazy. You know, they'll enjoy what you're doing to yourself. " she replied angrily to me. "Will you just let them be happy while you are sad here and look lifeless? If I were you, I would go out and go wherever I want and enjoy my life as if nothing happened. Staying here won't do any good. It will just make you look like a fool and pitiful." She added.
I shook my head at what she said. "You don't understand me, Viy. What you are telling me to do isn't easy. You don't understand me because it's not you who's in my position."
"That's what I'm pointing out. That's why I'm helping you right now. I'm helping you out to feel less pain. To move on easily." She said, "and this time, I won't take no as an answer. I've been doing this since the first time your wedding was called off. If I have to drag you out, I will do it. Don't make me do it because you're gonna regret it."
"Viy, I---" I was cut off from what I was about to say when she pulled me from the bed and pushed me inside the bathroom.
I almost broke my arms because of what she did. "You stink! How many days have you not taken a bath? Ew!" She sounded and looked disgusted. "Take a shower and we're leaving. I'll wait for you downstairs, and if you're not done after 30 minutes, I swear I will not come here ever again." She said before shutting the door of the bathroom.
I heaved out a deep sigh when she left. Well I guess I have no other choice then but to do what she wants. Because no matter how many times I'll tell her no, she'll still come back here again and again until I say yes.
Maybe I just need to go out sometimes and have fun? I don't know. My body, mind and heart don't want it for the meantime. I still don't have the energy to have some fun after everything that has happened.
I took a shower and went out to get dressed. I just wore denim high waist pants and a white puff sleeve crop top paired with two inch heels.
Even though I'm broken, I don't want myself to look like a dumb and mess in front of many people. I still need to take care of myself.
After putting on my clothes, I put on light make-up and took a small sling bag that can fit my wallet and phone and went downstairs.
There I saw Viy, Karen, and Chanel sitting on the couch, talking with each other while waiting for me. When they saw I was coming downstairs, they stood up from the couch and clapped their hands. The three of them are my cousins from my mother's side. Mom had three sisters and one brother.
"Finally! The queen had come down. Please bow down before the queen." Karen announced and bowed down her head.
I jokingly hit her arms when I was finally beside her. The girls laughed at what I did. "Well, well! Maybe I was wrong all along. Who would think that this woman is broken? I mean, look at her. She's dazzling! Don't you think, girls?" Chanel asked.
The three of them nodded their heads as a wide smile plastered on their faces.
"Well yeah! You know I expected her to look bad since being broken makes you look bad but she seems to be different." Karen said.
"Of course! Even if she wore an ugly clothes, it would still look amazing on her. She's a goddess, remember?" Viy said also.
I rolled my eyes at what they said. I know they are making fun of me. "Yeah, whatever! Where are we going anyway?" I asked, though I know that we're going to a bar.
The three of them look at each other and wink. I can sense already that they are planning something about me.
"It's a secret." Karen was the one who answered.
"If you're planning something not good on me, please don't." I said.
"I can't promise you that." Viy said.
"So? Off we go now. Time's running out." Chanel said and pulled me out the house.
Mom and Dad went on a business trip two days ago, so basically I was left all alone in the house.
We drove away from the house and as we are heading to our destination which I don't know where, I feel a little bit of happiness with a mix of sadness.
I just feel happy because even though after everything that happened to me, I still have people around me who never made me feel alone and helpless.
On the other hand, I feel sad because I remember Rick and Astrid. I still can't get the fact that the two people whom I love and cherish the most next to my parents will do something that I didn't expect.
I shook my head to shoved away the idea.
After a while, we finally arrived at our destination and my eyes widened as soon as I saw the bar's name. "Bachelor's Bar." I said. "Wait, do you happen to know someone who came here?" I asked.
For the long time that we have been clubbing, we had never gone into this kind of bar. First it's because the drinks here are so damn expensive, it's literally expensive that one glass of shot costs about 50$. Can you imagine it?
The three of them shook their heads. "I have never been here before but it's not a sin if we'll try it here. I mean, the bar's name is giving me magic for tonight. I can go wasted anytime I want here." Karen said with a flirty laugh.
"Me too." Viy said.
"Add me to it. I'll make sure I won't go home without a bachelor coming home with me." Chanel said and they laughed.
"Girls, the shot here costs 50$." I told them.
They look at each other before looking back at me with a questioning look. "And so? Girl, you're just broken hearted but I don't think you're broke." Viy said.
" But isn't it too much if we'll spend 50$ for a single shot?" I said.
They just rolled their eyes at me. "Don't worry. It's my treat. I got you all." Chanel said which made me smile wickedly.
"Perfect! You didn't say that earlier." I said and walked first.
I heard the two girls laugh behind me while Chanel spit out a curse. "D*mn you!"
Well, I guess I just need to enjoy and be happy even just for tonight.
