Chapter 38
“Brand ambassador ?! Are you really giving the position to her and not me? Eh what does that know about modeling ?! And what are you wearing Avah? Why don’t you go back to church? That’s where you fit in. Just pray all day! ”
Avah look at Alexa from head to toe. Seizing the same woman who made her life in chaos. Avah twitched the side of her shiny red lips.
“It’s you, Ms. Torres!” Avah greeted as if she had just seen Alexa. “That was actually my plan at the very first place but Sir Mandie needed me. How can I reject someone who asked for help?” Avah pouted.
Her accent and the way she speak in English elegantly made Alexa triggered. Alexa gripped on Avah’s arms, her eyes glazed. “Why did you come back ?! Ha? Maybe you came back to cause trouble, no?”
Avah smirk and she shakes Alexa’s hands off her arms. He brought his own face to Alexa’s then whispered, “whatever my reason is, it’s non of your business.”
When the security guard Mandie called arrived, she immediately picked up Alexa.
“Send that crazy bitch out! Don’t come back here, Ms. Torres. You are no longer needed.” Mandie said while looking at Avah. “Are you okay? I’m so sorry for the trouble.”
“No, it’s okay sir. Not a problem to me.”
“Let me go! I can get out!” Alexa’s struggle. She is a truly scandalous woman. An embarrassing person. “All right! You have the brand ambassador position, Avah! I don’t even want it! You, Mandie! You will regret treating me like a trash! More people are waiting for me outside. I was just waiting for you to let me go for you. to others. ” The security guards dragged Alexa out of the office, but before she could leave, she shouted first. He said, “you’re both useless !!”
When the security guard pushed him, they shouted at him, “don’t come back here, madman!”
“I’m definitely not coming back jan! Go to hell assholes!” Alexa caressed her arms that were red from the tightness of the guards’ grip. She picked up her cellphone and called the owner of a beauty product. He recently rejected the offer because he said the name of the endorser was too small. She feels proud of herself and she doesn’t think that the time will come when she will lose her career.
When the person she contacted answers, she quickly said, “hi! Is your offer about the endorsement still on? I’m bored because I’m here at home.”
“I’m sorry, because we saw the bad rate of directors and photographers about you. The deal is off. Don’t call us again.” Then the phone rang.
He also called other companies he rejected and all of them did not accept him. The phone always puts him down.
Alexa waited for Avah to come out of the building. And when she saw that Mandie had actually delivered her, she got out of her car. He approached it and was about to tweak it when Melanie stopped him. Melanie is also waiting for Avah who she deliberately accompanied because they are going somewhere else. All this time she was watching how the mistress would drive Alexa away, and Melanie enjoyed every second of her suffering.
Melanie slapped Alexa hard left and right causing her to turn her head and hair to cover her face.
“There, Alexa. Awakening. You can thank me later and you are welcome in advance.” Melanie raises an eyebrow at the woman who is now simmering in anger.
“Is this some kind of revenge, Avah? What kind of nun are you going to be ?!” Alexa’s hill.
Avah raised her perfectly defined eyebrow as she step forward. Alexa didn’t know who withdrew from any fight but that time, she stepped backward because of the approach that Avah was making.
“This ain’t revenged, Alexa. This is a karma. A bad karma for all the bad things that you’ve done to hurt me and other people. You are pathetic.” Even though Avah’s voice was weak, Alexa still felt anger with her every word.
Avah backed away and before Melanie could finally back away, she barked first, “fuck off, whore!” Melanie raised her middle finger and then she flipped her hair before leaving Alexa at her lowest.
“You know Alexa, she’s really a slave of Satan. So maybe she won’t die because even in hell she can’t handle her demonic behavior.” Melanie sighed when they arrived at the coffee shop she built a year ago.
“Hey, that was harsh.” Avah commented. Even though he has changed a lot, he still doesn’t want to step on other people. Whatever Alexa is going through now Avah is out there. He didn’t think of revenge because he didn’t grow up like that. She believes that what Alexa is going through is compensation for all the evil she has done. And she also believed that others charge karma.
“Oh, I’ve forgotten. You’re still a nun.” Melanie chuckled. And to forget the bad vibe brought by Alexa’s name, she decided to divert the topic. “By the way, when are you planning to tell me that you and Davien have settled? If I haven’t watched the news, I’m the only one who won’t know. You’ve been sleeping on me, honey. Are you really my best friend? ? ” Mel pouted.
“And about that, I’m so sorry Mel. I was planning to tell you but mom was fast to spread the word. Everything happen so fast. Just like in a blink of eye.”
“Double Espresso and Short Macchiato, ma’am.” Melanie’s employee said when they brought two coffees.
“Thanks.” Avah smiled to the waitress. She used to be a waitress so she wanted to reciprocate with a smile for her hard work. The she grabbed her double espresso and sipped it. “How are you for the past two years?”
“Normal. No excitement. But look at you, you changed a lot. But of course for the better.”
“I just learned to dress and speak English. Over all, it’s still me. The Avah you know from yesterday.” Avah let out a small laughter. “You and Hirro? What’s new with you?”
The mention of his name bring loneliness to Melanie’s eyes. “I think we are both happy on our own lives.” The friend asked.
“What? You mean you’re already separated?” Avah asked in surprise.
“No. We didn’t separate because nothing really happened to us. He just gave up pursuing me. But it’s okay! I’m okay. That’s really how life is. Someone will leave, and then someone will get in. Vice versa. ”
Suddenly the ambiance at their table darkened. Avah can tell that Melanie was really hurt by what happened to the two of them and Hirro.
“Is there really no chance?” Avah held Melanie’s hand and then gave it a light massage.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Don’t be like that, Avah! You’re making me cry, eh.” Mel tried to smile but later on ended up crying and laughing all at once.
Melanie and Hirro tried. But they have different habits. Hirro wanted to enjoy his bachelor life, Melanie was still afraid to enter into another relationship. Until they are confused and one day they both wake up as if they no longer know each other. There’s so many things happened. Avah felt a little sorry for her friend because she was alone when it happened. So to entertain herself, Melanie just set up a business, which is a coffee shop that is so far profitable.
Avah invited Melanie to their outing this coming weekend. It’s a family outing on both sides with Davien. He didn’t tell Melanie that it was a family outing because he might not have gone yet because he might be led by shame.

By 9:00 sharp in the morning, Melanie arrived at Avah and Davien’s house. He only took a taxi because until now he was still saving to buy a car. Melanie was even surprised because when she arrived there she and Noah were the only ones waiting. He will be going on a family outing.
The family greeted her and welcomed her warmly. They were all ready to leave. Only Noah is really missing. Noah lives on his own, while their father Nicholas is accepted back by Divina. Yes, they are old for the second time but they don’t want to hurt themselves if this is what their hearts are screaming for.
Davien and Noah weren’t so close but the tension between them was gone. Fortunately, Noah was not able to admit to Avah his attraction back then. Coincidentally they would definitely need three. Until now that secret was only between their siblings and they both decided to bury it along with their horrible past.
“You didn’t tell me it was a family outing! I feel like I’m a cat. I can’t go anymore?” Melanie whispered to Avah.
They were talking at the porch where all their luggage was ready. Davien suddenly appear at Avah’s side. He hugged her from her back and he rested his chin on his wife’s shoulder.
“What’s the conversation about?” Davien groaned.
“Nothing. Just some sort of girl stuffs.” Avah answered equally sweet.
The two kissed in front of Melanie who she denied.
“Get a room, you two. I’m having a goosebumps.” Melanie said in horror. They are too sweet. He can’t.
Avah and Davien chuckled. Exactly, a car stopped in front of their open gate. It was Noah. He blew his horn before getting out of the car.
It’s been two years and the first and last time he met Melanie was when he invited her to his condo unit. Noah had moved permanently so he suddenly disappeared from the condominium.
“Mom! Dad! Aunt Cindy, Big Brother Noah is here!” Daniela shouted at the adults in the living room and talking.
