The final chance

Mika put down the juice she was drinking and checked the time for the tenth time. When would her brother arrive? She had been waiting for hours!

Her left foot tapped the floor impatiently but there was no sound. With the thick carpet, it swallowed all sort of noise she made. She changed it to tap the arm of the sofa instead. Her eyes shone expectedly at the door, impatient to see a familiar figure entering the premise.

It took another hour for her to wait before she gave up. She took her phone from the coffee table and stared hard, willing the screen to light up for either a message or a call from either of them, but alas, nothing came.

She stood up, jumped for a few times before stormed into her room. She needed Jason to coax her from her frustrated big brother and best friend. They deliberately ignored her and only her fiancé still loved her.

She locked the door of her bedroom and slumped herself on the bed. Then, she called Jason.

"Hello, love."
