Kat and Revelyn

Chapter 3

"Welcome home, honey!" said Revelyn's boyfriend when he saw her entering the apartment.

Revelyn did not respond.

"How was work today? Any irritating customers?"

Revelyn remained silent.

"Hey, what happened?" the boy asked when he noticed Revelyn was ignoring him.

"....nothing, just feeling tired.."

"Oh, that's fine. Do you want some coffee?"

"..no, I already had some at work."

Revelyn went inside the bathroom, before she broke down in front of Deven.

Revelyn took out the apartment keys from her pocket, after a long day at work. As she was about to insert them into the keyhole, she heard giggles coming from inside the apartment. Her heart dropped into her stomach, when she heard Deven talking to another girl inside the apartment.

Revelyn tried to peek inside the apartment, and saw Deven sitting on the couch, his legs were spread wide, with a girl between them. She recognised the girl immediately.

They were about to kiss, but Revelyn crouched down, breaking down into tears silently. She texted Deven.

Revelyn
I'm about to come home

my love
Oh, alright.

Revelyn
In 5 minutes

my love
Okay fine

Suddenly, Revelyn saw the girl bursting out of the door, running to the parking lot. She drove away on her bike, while Revelyn's heart was shattering into a million pieces. She peaked inside again, to see Deven settling the couch, wiping his lips harshly and changing his shirt.

Revelyn got up from the ground, wiped away her tears. She swallowed her sobs and settled herself.

She opened the door to see Deven watching TV.

"Hey Revelyn! Why are your eyes so...red?"

"Nothing, just a long day at work..."

Revelyn rushed to the bathroom before she broke down in front of Deven.

She had loved him for ages and got backstabbed in the most brutal way ever.

She took out her phone and texted the girl.

Revelyn

Karina hurriedly opened the door of the tattoo shop and sat at the registration counter, waiting for customers to come.

"Hey, you're back?" Dilam asked when he saw her.

"Yep!"

Karina saw a young woman enter the shop. She approached the counter swiftly.

"Good morning ma'am! Welcome to Stencil Studio! Please give me your details for registration. Name?"

"Caroline Crale."

"Age?"

"21 this month.."

"Mobile number?"

"1234567890"

"Thank you ma'am. Kindly inform Dilam, our assistant about the tattoo you'd like to get today," said Karina, pointing to Dilam who was sitting in a corner.

"I know."

"Here is your registration slip," Karina handed it over.

Dilam saw Caroline so he immediately escorted her to a room where the tattoo artists and a few customers were sitting.

Caroline was taken to a tattoo artist, a muscular man who looked like the human version of a pitbull.

"Hey David,"

"Nice to see you again Carol! Where would you like to get your tattoo today?

Caroline walked out to the shop with a healing tattoo on her right shoulder. The tattoo said in big bold letters- RENEGADE.
