She pricked herself.
Once, Twice.
Then finally, the tears brimmed in her eyes, trickling down her cheeks slowly.
''I—I really don't understand. We've been together for 5 years! 5 long years..!'' She whined, making sure to sniffle between sobs.
''It's so unfair!! My mental health is so messed up, I had to sleep at a hospital!'' She continued, bawling her eyes out while she inwardly basked in joy at how the receiver coerced her, offering sweet words in an attempt to calm her down.
But that was not the target.
''I want us to get married and have a baby too. But he doesn't—doesn't touch me.'' She hiccuped, making sure to leave a very impactful feeling.
''What?!'' The receiver shouted, making Rita nod victoriously.
A smile curled up her lips as she realized that she had hit the nail right on the head.
The receiver said some other words but Rita didn't bother listening.
She had gotten what she wanted anyways.
