THE PRICE FOR FRIENDSHIP
Written By Esitma A
Chapter 13
Tiwa who ran after Sola was locked outside Sola's room.
She stood by Sola's door, pleading that she opens the door. But Sola seemed not to hear her at that moment due to how loud she was crying.
"What's going on here, what is happening to Sola"? Aniebiet who just walked into the compound questioned Tiwa.
Tiwa simply said it was girls stuff. When Aniebiet insisted on knowing what could drive Sola into such a bad state, Tiwa then added that "Sola just got heart broken".
Aniebiet adviced Tiwa to leave Sola alone at the moment. That she should let out her pains, inorder for her to free herself from the trauma.
Tiwa adhered to Aniebiet's advice and went back to her room.
Obinna had traveled to Owerri in order to ascertain how his business over there was fairing.
He promised Sola that he would be spending just two weeks before returning back to Mbaisae.
It was just two days after Obinna's departure that Tiwa broke the sad news to Sola.
Before Tiwa told Sola about Obinna's dirty lifestyle, the communication between Sola and Obinna was flowing perfectly well.
They used to communicate for hours without getting bored on the phone.
For one whole week, Sola didn't go to work, nor step out of her room. She also wasn't taking Obinna's calls as well.
All through the period Sola was in her room, all she does was respond to greetings from the inside. She clearly wasn't greeting anybody nor calling anyone from the inside.
If anyone greets her, she responds, but doesn't get into any conversation.
Aniebiet who often greeted Sola everyday decided to pay Sola a visit, after carrying out his normal Saturday cleanup.
He stood outside Sola's door for over one hour knocking and pleading she opens the door.
When Aniebiet saw that Sola was not ready to open the door. He then decided to crack some funny jokes and teased Sola as well while standing outside.
At once, Sola opened the door to behold Aniebiet's cute smiling face.
"What's up girl, won't you at least usher me into your room"? Aniebiet said teasingly.
Sola then gestured for him to come inside after some moments of silence.
After Aniebiet finally gained access into Sola's room, he first of all told her about all that had been going on at work. That he's been covering for her.
Aniebiet had a way of lightening up people's mood whenever they're down.
As they carry on with the conversation, Sola was already smiling, to the point that she started laughing out aloud.
On noticing how cheerful Sola had become, Aniebiet then requested she follows him to his room, that there's something he wanted to show her.
That was his own trick to make Sola step out of her room after what seemed like a whole year of being indoor.
When they both arrived Aniebiet's room, he prepared a very delicious noodles and they both ate.
While Sola was swimming in the ocean of Aniebiet's positive vibes, she completely forgot about her plight at the moment.
Though Sola shares everything about her with Tiwa who's her fellow lady, the truth is that she feels more comfortable around Aniebiet.
There's this positive aura revolving around Aniebiet that made Sola feel more at home whenever she's with him.
After their meal, Aniebiet first of all thanked Sola for finally accepting to get out of her room and then he went on to ask Sola the reason behind her plight.
"Sola, ever since you came into this lodge, I've never seen you so down to the point of having to lock yourself in your room for days".
"I understand that I'm not your fellow lady, but I,d love to know what really is going on with you".
"When I asked Tiwa what happened to you, the response I got wasn't satisfying at all".
I'm honestly not happy seeing you this way. My Sola is such a cheerful and happy woman".
"Please, feel free to share your worries with me"...
