Clara does not expect that she will be taken by Damian to the club's night, initially Damian asked Clara to come to his office but when he got there Damian immediately took Clara to the salon and asked the clerk there to dress Clara in such a way and took her to a crowded place and full of smoke this cigarette.
Clara had no idea what purpose Damian had brought her here but Clara did not dare to ask or refuse Damian's orders at this time. Clara can only follow Damian, sitting right next to Damian while Damian is busy chatting with his friends and comfort women.
“Wahh.. You are very smart to find Damian prey, once can be as sweet as this.” one of the men who talked to Damian was glancing at Clara, watching Clara from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head carefully. “You're not afraid of getting caught by your wife?”
Damian did not reply he just gave a slanted smile, Clara felt uncomfortable being among them. Clara inched away without telling Damian first, and Clara dared not interrupt Damian's conversation with her friend.
Clara stepped towards a quiet place, where there was only one woman who was sitting quietly enjoying her drink. For a moment, Clara felt herself thirsty but did not dare to order a drink, afraid that she would order the wrong drink later.
Clara sat beside the woman in an awkward manner, Clara did not know what to do but rather sat here than having to be with Damian's friend and did not understand their conversation at all.
“Hallo.”
Clara was a little surprised and smiled kindly as the woman next to her greeted her, “H-hallo.”
“You came here alone? You look uncomfortable.”
Clara could only smile awkwardly, she was indeed uncomfortable being in a place like this. He's not used to it.
“Include my name Rasvia, if you may know what your name is?” the woman stretched out her hand which automatically shook Clara kindly.
“Clara.”
“You don't seem happy to be here, if you're not comfortable why not just go home. You also look very young.” Rasvia slightly tilted her body looking at Clara closely.
Clara sighed heavily, “If I could go home like I wanted. In fact, everything is not that easy”
Rasvia smiled, “Something makes you unable to fight back huh? Circumstances make you like a fool and can only live it without being able to complain?”
Clara was surprised, she glanced at Rasvia who was smiling towards her. “You mean?”
Rasvia chuckles, “Only by looking at your face I can already know that you are in the middle of a problem. All humans do not escape the problem.”
Rasvia put down her glass, focusing herself on Clara. “Cause you don't seem comfortable in a place like this, what if I told you a story. My sad story.”
Clara was actually a bit awkward but she also did not want to refuse, than she was alone and did not know what to do is not it better to listen to Rasvia? There is no harm, right?
“I was framed by my best friend, trapped so I slept with a man I didn't know and locked up, tied up like an animal. Then made to contain a child from a boy I do not know it, how sad is not it?”
Clara was stunned, Rasvia did only tell it briefly but hearing that alone had made Clara grimace at the thought. Has Rasvia suffered such injustice?
“Everyone has a problem, what more a weak woman like us. Let me guess, you must have money problems, right?”
Clara flirted, how could Rasvia know about the problem? “Where can you know?”
Rasvia chuckles, “You are young, your age child usually likes to have fun instead of being moody and silent like you. I know a lot of people who have the same problems as you.”
“Why should women like us suffer? You suffer because of money, I suffer because of my own best friend. Why is the world so cruel? Why would my best friend set me up to sleep with a man I don't know and you have to live in all the flaws, what do you think is the reason for all this?”
Clara shook her head unable to answer, she did not know. All he knew was that this world was extremely cruel to him.
“Everything that happens to us must have a reason, at first I thought why my best friend would treat me like that but in reality it was all for my good, I had amnesia and forgot my own husband and almost got married to someone else, my best friend just wanted to prevent me from making a mistake even though the way was wrong. I'm sure you have a reason, just don't keep sacrificing yourself. You deserve to demand happiness for yourself.” Rasvia got closer and patted Clara on the shoulder slowly.
“I say this because you look so unhappy, you seem to have a lot of burdens in life. But you know, we can suffer, weep and be fed up with everything but we also deserve to be happy, if you can no longer hold it then let go. I'm saying this is not just to patronize you, I just want to say that after the problem I passed I can still achieve my happiness so I hope you can also achieve your happiness.”
Clara nodded her head, she could not say what. Everything Rasvia said was true.
“Ah sorry I talk a lot.”
Clara shook her head, “No, it's okay.”
Rasvia sighed and looked at Clara sadly after she glanced at her watch. “I would love to have a long chat with you again but I have to go home, my son and husband must have been waiting for me. I don't permit that I drink here, I just want to get away from my duty as a housewife for a moment. It's nice to meet you. I hope we can meet again.”
Clara nodded her head, she waved her hand to Rasvia who stepped away leaving her.
In crowds of people, cigarette smoke, loud music and booze. What should Clara do now?
“Hey sweet, why is a woman as beautiful as you alone here. Want me to accompany you?”
Clara was shocked when an unidentified man just came to seduce her, Clara brushed off the man's hand that was about to poke her chin.
“Clara.”
Clara turned to Damian who looked at her with her arms folded in her chest, “This is the second time I have found you alone with a foreign man, why do you like to repeat your mistakes hm?”
Clara shook her head quickly, not wanting Damian to misunderstand her like how Damian misunderstood Marvel.
“I don't know Damian, he who came alone and tried to tempt me.”
Damian screeched, “You believe this man is the one who seduced you, not you who teased him because you also want to make money from him. Let's treat it honestly. For women like you selling yourself is common!”
Clara clenched her strong strong hands, she was emotional. Why doesn't Damian ever listen to her? Why did Damian never want to believe his words? Clara hates being treated like shit.
“After the prostitute it will remain prostitute—”
Plaque!
Clara could no longer hold back her emotions, Clara slapped Damian right on the man's cheek. Damian was surprised and looked at Clara.
“Iya I admit I am selling myself to you for money, but that cannot be used as an excuse that I will also sell myself to someone else. Just because you gave me money doesn't mean you have the right to insult me, I don't need your money. Bastards like you should die and be tormented in hell!” Clara evaporated her emotions, she stepped away from Damian who was silent there.
