YEARS APART

Chained

The streets were very crowded, and people walked to their jobs in this early morning. The city is so lively, in either day or night.
Sandra waited impatiently in front of a huge building. It was an important day, and she felt a bit stressed.

« Where is she ? » she said. Her sight travelled in each direction, hoping that she'll see the face she's looking for. A red luxurious car stopped nearby, and a beautiful young woman stepped out of it. She hurried and grabbed her things from the back seat, then ran quickly to the art building.

« Sandra ! » the girl shouted and sandra looked at her.
Sandra's eyebrows rose, and a displeased expression formed on her face. The girl smiled and hugged her friend

« What's with your face ? I'm not that late ! In fact we still have 5 minutes left so let's hurry up »

« Late again Miss Wang.... Seriously what were you doing ? »

« Putting the final touch on my work » she said with a smile. Sandra sighed then they both entered the building. It's was the Art building, and today they held an Art contest. Sandra and Athiee were both so talented but each in her own way. For Sandra, pottery was her ultimate passion, as for Athiee, her drawing talent grew remarkably, and all her drawings were instantly admired by people.

"Thanks for all the participants in this day, we love to congratulate you all for your passion, hard and beautiful work. Our judges will look into all your works and the winners in each filed will be announced within 5 days" the man announced and they called it a day. Sandra and Athiee exited the building, heading to the car.

"Wanna do something ?" Sandra asked

"Yeah sure, i still have some time before the company's meeting" Athiee said as she started driving.

"Ahh let's go grab some drinks"

"Early winning celebration ?" Athiee smirked

"Why not ? I'm sure we'll win after all. I can be 70% sure for me but i'm 200% sure that you'll win" Sandra said in "obviously" way. Athiee glanced at her friend and laughed.

"Your treat Miss Sandra" Sandra was about to object but Athiee continued

"I'm driving, and you paying" Sandra frowned and sighed making Athiee laugh even more.

"You own a top class company yet you ask me to pay for our drinks, what a heartless woman"

"Well, saving is good. Plus, you come from a wealthy family too"

"Okay you have a point" Sandra said, and they both arrived to the usual place. Sandra went directly to buy drinks and Athiee sat on their usual table, waiting. Sandra came and handed her the drinks. A bunch of handsome guys arrived, and Sandra pointed at them.

"Hey look at the one wearing the red shirt, he's totally my type"

"Here we go again" Athiee said and rolled her eyes. For as long as she knew Sandra, she knew that she'll simp over almost everyone. They have been friends for a good time now and they become close friends, and eventually besties.

"I'll go and try my luck, I'm totally going for him !" Sandra said and went to the table they were sitting in. Athiee drank her iced coffee, then counted with her hands.

"1......2.......3"

"Ugh after approaching a bit i think his friend looks better" Sandra came back and said.

"Why am i not surprised ?" Athiee said, with bold expressions.

"Yaah, you should know that making choices is very important. Just imagine, i went there and got his number, called him and he eventually fell for me, dated for couple times, he could take it anymore and asked me to marry him, i accept and we get married through a luxurious wedding ceremony, honeymoon and travelling all over the world together, then i get tired of him because i suddenly met his friend who looks better than him. I fell for his friend and decided to get divorce but he gets jealous and refuses making me plan to escape and leaving him behind broken then he'll swear to get his revenge from me and his friend, and i'll end up in a hospital laying down after getting into a planned car accident"
