Shouldn't Have Kissed You

Never in her wildest dreams did she think she would be doing this again. At least not when she was married but it seemed that everything and everyone was against her since she came to this world of Moses. Of course, apart from her two best friends.

Wait. Where they even two? The second one had left before her graduation in college and he hadn't even communicated. Not to anyone and worse to her. Five years down the line and nothing.6

Was that how best friends leaved? I mean, one day you've them then the next, they're gone. Or maybe he was dead? But if he was, the Major would have sent the captain of the team along with two lieutenant to bring the bad news to the family but nothing.

Maya forced a smile on her face as people took photos of her and her loving husband. He was hurting her on her waist but she dare not to show. After all, she was used to faking her real emotions since she was a toddler. It was new and neither was it going to end very soon.

To her, it seemed like she was going to be fake her entire life. It seemed like she was destined to do that. To be fake and have no one to care. Who would anyway? When the one who are supposed to are the one inflicting the pain.

But there was something that will always make her happy. Something that really made her smile genially. And it was her work. She loved it and no one would take her only source of joy away from her. Not even her own father...

What do we expect to see tonight?

Maya was jerked back to reality when she heard the question. She wasn't sure to whom it was directed to, so she just kept her head held high and smiling at the camera. That's what she was taught since young age and it's what she was doing.

Chris answered the question and he pushed them passed the reports and even from the back she could hear more questions and cameras clicking at them.

"I hope that Wesley explained to you what you need to do," Chris spoke up when they got in an empty room.

She guessed that it was an office but she had no idea it belonged to which department. They were still at the ground floor, which meant it wasn't his. And there were no photos of him anywhere.

She looked him in the eye and said a strong yes. She was strong than he thought she was. Who wouldn't anyway after experiencing it from your own father? To her, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and her father made her stronger.

Chris shifted his weight from one leg to another.
