Nikol (yelling at the sky):
"No, seriously God…!
Out of the entire planet, am I the only one you find to throw water on, to puncture tires, to chase with dogs, or to drop into potholes?!
Why me every single day?!
Just tell me one thing...what kind of divine joy do you get from ruining my life like this?!"
People passing by on the road all glance at him
some giggling,
some outright laughing,
watching this man dramatically accuse God.
Suddenly
WHACK!
A flying slipper lands squarely on his head.
Startled, Nikol jerks forward,
and in the process....his bicycle goes tumbling down the slope of the hill.
He turns around in shock
and there she is.
Hazel, his fiancée,
standing there with fire in her eyes,
clearly the one who threw the slipper.
Just then, an a woman walking by tosses a banana peel
and of course, it lands right on Nikol's shoulder.
Hazel storms toward him, yelling:
"Why are you standing here like a statue?!
What exactly are you doing?!
And where's your bike?!
If you're late to the office again,
they're going to dock your pay again!
And thanks to that, we won't be able to go to the beach again!"
Nikol opens his mouth to explain
but the moment he does,
Hazel pulls out her second slipper.
That's it.
Poor Nikol picks up his poor, bruised bicycle and quietly rides off toward the office, defeated.
Hazel, meanwhile, heads to a nearby store....
the same vegetable shop she visits every day,
calmly resuming her routine,
as if no divine drama had just unfolded on the roadside.
