This is karma, bitch. Part II.

Although Jules was in love with her little boy, the post-pregnancy depression somehow still reached her. Francis asked me to take her a little shopping, maybe the smell of spring will make her feel better.

The plaza brought her spectacularly back to life. There has always been a scatter of money in Jules's veins instead of blood, so it wasn't hard to figure out what was missing from her life… Because online ordering is good… but you don't have the euphoric feeling of shopping when you spend money… meaning you can't show off how rich you are. Yes. That's what the thing was about.

When there was no more space in the trunk of the car, we sat in a patisserie. Jules ordered only one iced coffee…

„ I have to take care of my shape… I gained 6 pounds because of my pregnancy."

"It's good to have scales … otherwise you wouldn't know about it ."

She still had a figure, that the models have on the cover photos could hide behind her.

„ So is everything all right between the two of you?"

She tried discreetly find out if I got bored of my boyfriend.

„Of course. Everything is alright."

„ Aren't you a little unhappy?"

„No… why?"

„Because you eat 3 slices of cake?"

„And I'm even going to ask for ice cream… because I like it… and I always eat this much…"

"You should pay a little more attention, don't you?"

„ Dereck still likes me… I'm not fat anyway… what I like in a wedding dress is lace-up anyway ... int he worst case we let out of it."

I laughed to myself.

„Wedding dress?"

„Yes."

„ Are you getting married?"

„ Well… not yet… Dereck is only planning it for next year… and then there wasn't even an engagement… .but he mesured my finger last week, and soon it's my birthday here… it's not hard to figure out what I'm getting. „

I licked the fork.

„ Aren't you getting ahead yourself? „

She asked in a little panic.

„Why?"

„ He hasn't even asked for your hand, but you're already looking at a wedding dress…"

„ I watched them 3 years ago you know too… I'm a woman ... I can't watch football match results in my free time…"

„Then what happened to that marriage plan?"

She regretted as she said.

„Yeah, you're right … that dress ended up on you too."

I smiled with a sharp eye.

"I'd like an ice cream."

Jules was already waiting in the doorway when I got back. I saw that something bothered her…

„ Let's take a walk on the square. I have to move that many calories."

I insisted.

„ All right."

We finally sat down on the flange of a nearby fountain.

„What's wrong with you?"

I asked.

„What could be wrong?"

She shrugged her shoulder.

"I'd be curious about that, too. You're acting like someone whose sucking some bitter candy all day."

"I'm sorry my life isn't just about fun and laughing like yours!"

She blurted out. She broke down pretty soon…

„What are you talking about?"

"Well, because you're super smart, you have a super good father, your poor loser has become a lottery winner, you break up and you find a billionaire who immediately buys you a nice apartment… and ask for your hand?!"

„So the wind is blowing from here."

I laughed at how childish she was.

„ Where?"

„You're jealous."

„ No, I'm not… I just don't think it's fair."

„What?"

„That you always get everything so easily… while I…"

"While you grew up with your fucking rich parents licking your ass… and I just lived in short supply with my regular dad after my mother left us?"

"But then we moved in and you weren't poor anymore."

„Can you hear yourself?"

"You were lucky that your mother left you, otherwise you would never have had a chance at a life as good, as the one my mother bought you."

"Ah…,"

My eyes widened.

'You can't say that seriously.'

"If someone, then you really know what it's like, when your parent doesn't love you, but unlike me, yours didn't leave you, while throwing to your head, that ' you were born to ruin their life'? You know what you're right… I bet, you stole my boyfriend because I was too happy with him… at least he's making you happy now… because you loved each other so much!"

"No way… Patrick didn't suit you, I didn't want to get along with him, I just wanted you to break up…"

"She's your husband - your child's father - how can you say that?" If you've been able to stir up such shit, at least stick to the wretched tale!"

"I'm sorry… I just wanted to hurt you a little, is it such a great sin?"

"Ha…"

I felt a lot of repressed aggression about to break out. So far, I've restrained myself, thinking they love each other… because Jules just wouldn't get pregnant from someone he hates… but I was wrong.

"You're not normal… I thought you had as much humanity in you, that you didn't make yourself up to hurt me..but you're even less human than I assumed."

„It's not like that… someone trapped me… and made the traces disappear… and I didn't want my child to grow up without a father…"

„ What did you say?"

I've already stood up at this point.

„ Well… I didn't sleep with Patrick… I just made him believe… to make him feel guilty… but then somehow I got so drunk that I didn't remember going to bed with someone the next day… and when it turned out I was pregnant, and I went back to the hotel to find out who it was… they said that there are no records… and since I needed a sucker to raise the child..Patrick did think we had sex anyway… But please don't tell anyone!"

"It's so absurd that I can't even process it."

I said, like a piece of wood.

„I know. Do you understand now? My life is in ruins… I have to live with someone I don't even like ... I don't even know my child's father… all because you had too good life… it's not fair…"

So…practically…she is depressed because she was trying to ruin my life, the life i have worked hard… and stupidly instead of hurting me, she fell into a pile she dug herself… and that's whys he blames me.

The last thread bounced off. My fisted hand moved toward Jules's face and hit her so hard that she fell into the fountain.

Whens he came up from under the water, gasping for air, I blew my aching hand, and all I could say was:

„ As a matter of fact, this is karma, bitch."

And I left.
