'Friends'

Martha!

Marissa's eyes rounded looking at the woman who she had been avoiding all her life to meet.

"Well…well…well…look who we meet today…" Martha pulled someone from her side to be visible to Marissa's eyes.

The moment Marissa saw the person who was standing by Martha, her lips pursed tight. Idora, a friend that she had lost contact with.

"You are working here?" Martha broke the silence. Starting to ask the obvious.

"Nope, I am here to do some shopping." Marissa smiled while faking a laugh.

Martha was known to be ignorant. Sometimes she pretended to be one, just for the sake of hurting others feelings. After more than eight years not seeing each other, it looked like she never changed. Here she was asking the complete obvious. Perhaps some might say she was asking out of courtesy but not for Marissa. Being 'friends' all this while, Martha would always find a way to hurt her.
