Marriage and Annulment

“Why is Davianna looking for you? Did something good happen when you courting her? ” Duke asked me.

I did not speak. “Didn’t you call her?”

I sighed.

“Should I still expect an answer from her? We both know that’s there’s nothing. And I should add that I saw her earlier in a Jeep with a male companion. How do you think I will feel?” was my answer.

It stared at me in shocked voice.

“Is that what I’m saying? Why are you still going away in search of a woman? Vienna ready to love you. “he said.

“I can’t hurt and court Veinna just to cover up what Davianna did to me. Veinna is kind and beautiful, so she can’t be hurt. “I said.

“That’s my point. She’s kind and beautiful, but why would you look for someone who isn’t kind?” he said to me.

I leaned back in our chair.

“Duke, you can’t force yourself to like someone who is just your friend. Even you can do the same. ” I said.

“So maybe tomorrow I’ll feel okay and I’ll give myself a chance to get to know Veinna better so that you can feel better too.” I told him.

And he laughed. “Bastard! I’m just concerned about you.”

“I’m no longer young, so you can always be a concern to me. Then you should be my girlfriend instead.” I said.

“Stupid, Never in my wildest dream that I became gay, Zander, so get organized.” He says.

I’m laughing.

“Let’s go, it’s seven in the evening. We may not be able to find a seats, I know there are so many people in now.” He says.

“Just a moment. I will say goodbye to my mother first, “I said.

I went to the kitchen and found my mother washing the dishes.

“Mom, please rest in your room. I’ll be the one to wash that later when I arrive. I’m leaving first; we’re just going somewhere. ” I say goodbye to my mother.

“Be careful, son. Don’t go home too late. ”

I went back to the living room to visit Duke.

“Come on, Duke,” I said.

“I thought your mother wouldn’t let you out.” He told me.

“What am I, a child who needs to be banned?” was my answer.

“I can see that your mother loves you very much.”

“Of course, I have been looking for money for them since my father died. That is why. ” I said and laughed.

 “Will anyone else find money for them? Of course it’s you because you’re the only man in your family.”

“I didn’t know you had such a beautiful car.” I said. I once looked at a black Honda Civic parked outside our house.

“I just borrowed it from my father.” Duke replied.

“You’re rich, I just found out.” I said.

Duke laughs.

“It’s just them, Zander, not me. We are not like a woman who is curious, when we understand each other as friends right away. ” He says.

Duke was already driving away from the house. The establishments we passed were quiet; some were already closed, and others were still open.

And we stopped at a bar house whose walls were painted violet. My eyebrows furrowed. With the amount of color that can be used, why is it that violet is an eye ache? We got out of the car and went inside. The crowds of people we could hardly get through were too many. And the strength of the ringing that seems to remove dirt from the ear. It was like there was a DJ playing in the front because people were shouting. I whispered to Duke.

“Can we still have a seat today?” I asked him.

“It’s gone, so we’ll just stand until our feet hurt.” Duke replied.

“Is this the only bar in our city? People seem to have changed. ”

“There are many more, but it’s just new open bar, so people went.”

“What’s so special about this?” I will ask.

“Maybe they have woman to offer for free.” Duke said, smiling.

“Is there anything free at the moment? You will also pay the woman you can afford. Then the ending will make you sick, so if I’m with you, just find a girlfriend. ” I said.

“But we can’t judge them because they are also human beings with needs in life.” I said.

Duke nodded in response.

“Let’s go, let’s grab some drinks.” Duke invited me.

We approached the counter and ordered drinks.

“Hi, sir. “Good evening,” said the woman. I nodded.

“When you order a bucket of drinks, you get three free bottles of beer,” said the woman.

“We only have a little drink, Duke, a bucket really. I’m sure we’ll get drunk on that. We still have school tomorrow, “I said.

“Who says we only have two drinks? Of course, we have someone with us. ” I frowned at what Duke had said.

We walked over to a table with two women waiting for us. Duke put down a bucket, and I took three bottles for free. But what caught my attention was the woman with curly brown hair. She has a strong aura that makes my heartbeat fast. She stared at me blankly.

“They are the ones I say we can be with. She is Amara, my woman. And this snobby one is Mitch. Ladies, I want the two of you to meet my single friend, Zander. ” said Duke.

Amara smiled at me, but it was Mitch who rolled her eyes. I did nothing wrong to her.

“Sit down, Zander, over there next to Mitch.” Amara commands me.

“Amara, there’s still a lot of space where Duke and you are sitting. Why does he need to be here?” Said the woman, frowning.”

I want to laugh out loud.

“Is there anything you can do if I want to sit there next to you?” I said in a serious voice.

Its eyebrows rose. She was beautiful in this manner anyway. But I didn’t just tell her, she might get angry forever. I sat down next to her and opened a beer well.

“By the way, Zander, Duke told me that you are single.” Amara asked me. I sneezed.

“I didn’t know you were talking about my being single life, Duke.” I said.

I felt awkward with the woman next to me. And I heard the phone ring. I looked at my phone in my pocket but no one called, and I saw Mitch pick up her phone that was inside her sling bag.

“Hello, Zaneska.” I heard Mitch say to the person talking to her on the phone,

“I’m sorry, I’m too busy, so I didn’t call you right away. I’m at the bar here in our area, so it’s noisy. Okay, I’m going to go there in the city. One of these days. ” Mitch said, once the phone hang.

“Who’s that, Mitch?” Amara asked.

“It’s Zaneska. My best friend. ” Mitch replied.

“Is that so? What did she say?” Amara asked.

“Nothing, she just sad because I didn’t call her. She seemed bored with her life.”

“Do the rich still feel bored in life? While us who had a simple life work hard to have something to eat every day.” said Mitch.

With the amount of money, there is no use, so she is bored with life.

” Do you have a picture of her, Mitch? “said Duke.
