Now, when I look at the vicious shrew in front of me, I don’t understand at all why I didn’t break up with her even when she deliberately inflated my casual affair to the size of a grandiose scandal. Why didn’t I send her to hell when she brought those pictures and decided to blackmail me like some beardless kid.

She already knew then that she would still find a way to see Margo. And even if I were an exemplary groom, A’Lta would still not leave Margarita alone.

I take off the ring and silently toss it into A’Lta’s coffee.

– What are you doing? She tries foolishly to fish it out with a flat stirring spoon, dropping it back again and again. “K’raig, you’re not really going to – ”

I’m breaking off our fake engagement. Although it would be more correct to say – I am ending our cooperation.

But I didn’t agree! She’s freaking out because the ring keeps slipping into the cup over and over again and she has no choice but to give up on this stupid idea.

I would say that all this is somewhere even symbolic.
