Third Person’s POVAdira sat in front of her office desk.A pile of works is waiting for her.“There’s no rest,” she sighed.But even if the day will be tiring, she found peace as soon as she saw the drink on her table. She wrapped her hand around the cold cup and brought it near to her. Then, she noticed the note above the lid of the drink.[“If you are having a stressful day, never forget to smile.”]That made her smile.“Stressful day, you say,” she murmured before taking the sip on her favorite roasted hazelnut ice latte.The ices melted and the drink taste bland.“Drinking a bland latte gave me a slight stress,” she chuckled.Adira understood why the drink isn’t tasty anymore. Probably, her secretary bought it before something came up and she came late at work.“People do have lot of worries,” she murmured undertone.Problems never stop visiting humanity. They just surpassed the crisis of her husband’s affair rumors, but now, another hurdle came.Looking at the space, Adira rememb

Since I became a married woman, today is the first time that I woke up with my husband beside me. But unfortunately, we're not naked. "So nothing happened between us," I murmured before I sat up. My eyes diverted back to my husband's angelic face. I have seen his expressions: mad, irritated, annoyed and dumbfounded. But my favorite expression of his is this - the calm Chadwick. "I wonder what he looks like when we're doing it." Bothered by these dirty thoughts, I shook my dizzy head. Last night, I had a drink with that tall and handsome bartender named Geoffrey. [ “Well, Actually, there’s a girl I am so interested with. She will divorce her husband after five months. So I have to wait.” ] After his voice has flashback in my memories, I was sure that I lost my consciousness because of his absurdness. I must had drink my beer in one shot last night after I heard his crazy confession. It wasn't the beer that knocked me out though. The tequila I drank before that must be the real cul

Chadwick’s POVThat night after I told my wife that I wanted a divorce, I went to a bar with my friend, Edward.“I was so damned mad! Sh*t! F*ck!” I complained to Edward while we sat in front of the bar counter with glasses of whiskey in our hands.Edward, who came to accompany me and listen to my tattle, stared at me with eyes which saw a pathetic puppy in the middle of the rain.“Hey, explain it to me in words. How can I understand you if you just keep on cursing like that in front of my face?” he responded. “Also, please lower your voice. People around keeps looking at us.”Ignoring his words, I raised my glass and drank one shot.“Tell me what happened. Is this about Isa again?”Isa?Right. Since I became Edward’s friend, he only heard me complaining about Isa or Geoffrey. So, he might be thinking that I got into trouble again with those two.“If this is about Isa, you should stop it, bro. You’re already married.”“Lower your voice,” I said. “Don’t utter her name that recklessly.”

Geoffrey’s POV As a 32-year-old man, I never thought that I will bring a drunk married woman back to her house. I have choices which tell me not to do it. First, I’ll feel damn meeting Chadwick again. Second, he will misunderstand my relationship with his wife. However, I ignored all of those sensible thoughts with the excuse that I had to teach him a lesson. “Why are you with my wife?” he asked. The three of us were standing at the entrance. Adira was half conscious on my arms while Chadwick was in front of me. Before I replied, my eyes slowly slipped into his empty fingers. It's true. Just like Adira said, they both aren't wearing their wedding rings because their relationship doesn't involve romantic feelings. “Good eve, Sir,” I greeted. “I am a bartender in a bar and your wife got so drunk. That’s why I brought her back home.” I knew that my excuse didn't make any sense. In fact, my decision to bring her in front of her husband is the meanest idea out of hundred options. Bu

For the tenth times, Geoffrey sighed again while standing at the counter of the bar. He regretted telling everything to Isa. But he couldn’t help it. He had to be courageous if he wanted to get Adira.‘What made me confused is that ring,’ he thought.He clearly saw the wedding ring on Chadwick’s finger. Last night, he seen none of it.So, all day, he kept on thinking his reason for suddenly wearing the ring.Is it because Geoffrey came to their house last night?Because he has pride?Or is it because…‘He’s jealous?’No matter how he thinks, it is impossible for him to believe that Chadwick did get jealous.“Chadwick only likes Isa,” he murmured.One evidence is the incident at the party. Chadwick left Adira alone on the stage. Then in the parking lot, Isa and Chadwick kissed each other. What’s more to prove that Chadwick's heart is still with his stepsister?“Haaaa,” Geoffrey sighed again for the 11th time.“Hey, are you a sighing machine?” his friend, Vernon, asked him. He walked clo
