The Chosen Woman

Day Eighty-One…

~~*****~~

Hanabi narrowed her eyes on Lily's friend. She was the one who deliberately bumped her. She even made a fuss about it, catching everyone's attention.

'Is she trying to make a fool out of me? I'm not going to fall into her trap. But it doesn't mean I won't fight back.' Hanabi thought to herself.

"I'm not here to start a fight. Let's drop the act," Hanabi retorted, her disbelief evident as she locked eyes with the accuser. "I didn't spill the wine on your dress. You bumped into me."

But the woman continued to act as if she was the real victim. "You should apologize to me. You must acknowledge your mistake, instead of putting the blame on me."

"You were jealous of Lily, that's why you intentionally spilled the wine on me," she added as she continued accusing Hanabi.

Everyone started murmuring about the incident. They didn't witness what happened, only Hanabi, Lily, and her friends.
