Bar Still
It was near midnight when she came into the bar, a sour frown on her face. She stomped to her seat heavily, breathing shallow, trying to hold back her sniffles.
Master knew it wasn't a good sign.
"Master, I need a drink." Mayu whispered quietly but Master heard it clearly.
Not another one… He thought hopelessly, Why do all her boyfriends do this to her?
He obeyed her request and placed her drink carefully in front of her. Mayu immediately gulped the whole beer jug down. Her quiet sobs became louder as the drink set in her.
"Another."
"Mayu, I don't think you should drink so much…" The bar master tried to negotiate but Mayu was persistent.
"Give me another. I don't care if I get drunk!"
Master had no say in this.
By the time she finished her fifth glass tears were falling down her red face. Mayu slammed the empty jug on the table angrily, "I hate that man! I hate him! How dare he dump me?"
Master listened quietly; he was also asking that question. He didn't know how to answer her.
The drunken girl laid her head on the table, crying uncontrollably and suddenly Master felt angry. How could that man do this to her? She was such a sweet person. She deserved to be happy…
To be loved…
"I was so serious about him; I loved him so much… Why me, Master? Why does this happen to me?"
Mayu sobbed on the table, moaning about how unfair her life was and Master could do nothing about it.
He had never felt so helpless…
If only I could make her happy, make her see how wonderful she is… He thought sadly.
"Master, there's no one out there who will love me! I'm so stupid to think that!"
He wanted to tell her but he kept his mouth shut. Master simply reached out and stroked her hair softly, hushing her loud cries.
"It's alright Mayu; you'll find that special person. I'm sure." He smiled, continuing to stroke her pink, long hair, "Don't cry."
Mayu's sobbing stopped slowly, her eyes started closing peacefully.
If only I could tell her… If only…
"You really think so? You really think someone loves me?" She slurred, drifting into sleep.
"Of course."
And as she fell asleep on the bar counter, Master bent over her, kissing her forehead lightly.
"I know I do."
