She applies lipstick and looks in the mirror for a few minutes. A tear drops from her eye. She wipes the tear and brushes her left cheek with makeup. She stands and watches her dress which she first wore during her wedding. She comes out of the room. She sits on one side of the dining table and waits. After a few minutes, the doorbell rings. She stands, goes toward the door, and opens it. A man is standing with flowers in his hand. He smiles and offers flowers to the lady. She accepts the flowers. He comes inside and sits on one side of the dining table and she sits on another side.
"Congratulations darling. It's our anniversary," the man says.
She doesn't say anything.
"So, what's our plan for tonight?" he continues.
"I don't wanna do this. I am tired."
"What happened, darling? Are you okay? Tell me if anything has happened," he stands and comes closer to her.
"I am tired, John. I am tired," she bursts out crying.
"What happened? Everything's going well between us. Isn't it?" John rubs her back.
"What's going well? Nothing is going well."
John sits on her lap and kisses her lips. They kiss for a few minutes after which she backs out. John stands and she moves to her room.
John follows her and says, "Jessica, just tell me what's bothering you. I think everything is going alright."
Jessica lies on the bed and starts crying again. John sits alongside her on the bed. There's silence for a few minutes after which she stops crying.
"Jessica, why this drama on the anniversary night? Why aren't you acting normal? What do you want?" John raises his voice.
"You won't be able to do what I ask."
"Just say it," John shouts.
"I want a divorce."
"Divorce? What are you saying?" John says in shock.
"Don't act as if you don't know. Nothing is going well in our relationship," Jessica sits on the bed.
"I think everything is going alright. What's your problem now?"
Both of them stare at each other for a few minutes after which John kisses her.
"So, my darling is angry with me? Tell me why you are angry. Let's clear this misunderstanding," John says.
"I don't want to talk anymore," Jessica says in a lower tone.
"Don't worry. I know how to make you happy. Today, I will give you the best anniversary gift. You would have never seen this type of gift in your life. Come with me," John says.
Both of them go to the car. John opens the driver's door.
"Look inside," John points inside the car.
Jessica peeks inside the car and finds the car seat covered with rose petals.
She says in a disappointed tone," That's it? That's the best anniversary gift that I have ever seen?"
"No, darling. I have more for you. Come see," John opens the car trunk.
Jessica comes and sees. She screams and falls to the ground unconscious.
Jessica becomes conscious after some time. John is sitting beside her.
"So darling, how did you like my gift?" John laughs.
"John, please say this was a dream. Please." Jessica cries.
John comes close to Jessica who is shivering and crying in fear. He grabs her and says, "So, tell me wasn't that the best anniversary gift?"
Jessica doesn't say anything. John shouts, "Say you fucking slut.”
“No. You killed the man I love,” She screams.
“Aha! At last, you said it. If you would have said it earlier then that man would have been alive. But don't worry darling, now no one can come between us. Congrats darling!"
Jessica snatches the gun from John's pocket, points it toward him, and shouts, "You fucking piece of shit. I would rather die. I know how I lived so many years with you. My life was hell until he came into my life and gave me all the joy and pleasure which you never gave. You don't deserve to live," She shoots him in the stomach.
John screams, "You fucking slut. You are crying for someone who has a wife. He was cheating with his wife and you were cheating with your husband. Now, don't cry tears of innocence. You are fucking slut."
"You shut up," Jessica screams and shoots John in the head. John dies.
Jessica screams again and goes to the car. She pulls a dead body out of the trunk and keeps the body on the front passenger seat. She sits in the driver's seat and drives the car. She fastens the car, leaves the steering, and kisses the body. The car breaks the barrier and jumps from the bridge. The car falls into the river and starts sinking. Jessica keeps kissing the body and tears start falling from her eyes. The car fills with water but she doesn't leave the car. She keeps kissing as the car goes underwater and sinks to the bottom.
