water

Faith was in the mall.
She wanted to LOOK or FEEL different, let her old self die, and feel reborn.

"Cologne water", " Perfume", "Eau de Toilette".
Different models, top beauty posed for differernt brand. American smile, French skin, Spaniard sun.

"Should I spend all the money for perfume? Then probably got nothing for stationery"

Cologne water, does that mean water from Colonia, Germany? Or does it mean it's for export to colonies??

Perfume, fume, in latin means smoke, said Lily. Good to know it, Lily. An aura of good smile.

Eau de Toilette, French word for "water for tidy up", was it?

Faith thought about her name.
what does "Faith" mean? She thought about it when she sliding through the dreamy lights in the mall.

There he came, less she expected. He saw Andy, hand in hand with Sandra.

SHe almost pass out. Was it even possible??

Faith??

She was trying to stand up on her own feet. It was her time.
"I tried enough already, why should I see him here?"
"WHy??"
"it's my space, my time, isn't it?"

When Faith was thinking about all that. Andy saw her.
He was surprised too. He wanted to hide.
Not Sandra.
She held his hands, like saying "love overcomes all" , "I'm not wrong"

Sandra was one of the finnest girl you could ever see.
Fine skin, long and round thighs, Big blue eyes, long eye-lashes. Curvy hair, curvy body. Perfume of orange blossom.
Porcelain doll.
Look like a bride without wedding dress.

Faith felt naked.
Belittled.
She felt ugly.
Everything was wrong.
Her decisions, her body, her love.
Even being there, that afternoon to cheer herself up, was wrong.
How??

She wished she was not alone.
-Where is Fanny?
-And Lily?

-Is Andy buying her perfume?
-Why standing next to that American perfume counter?
-Or was it French??
-Does it matter??

Faith couldn't help thinking.

"Are you buying somehing? nice discounts here" said Andy.
"Cologne water, may be? said Faith, dizzy, and couldn't believe he didn't even ask how she was, or just run away. Why did she have to face him like that. Her tears were "sold out".
" There, next counter has the "faxy smile" perfume, go get it, sure they would give you discount." ----ah, Faith dreamed to have said something like that.

The fact was, before she realized what she was facing, they passed by.

Faith remembered that ANdy owned her 400 euros.

One problem after another. The real problem was?
