“Jennifer, what is the meaning of what happened now? why did you do that?” Sandra asked Jennifer when they have went out of view.
“I don’t like him anymore. He should go to hell.” Jennifer said out of anger.
“Are you serious with what you are saying?” Ruth curiously asked.
“I’m not.”
“Who is confusing who here? You said you don’t like him, now you said you’re not serious. Which one do we follow?” Sandra asked and Jennifer stopped walking, turn the two friends, sighed and said “None”
“What do you mean?” They were now standing close to Sandra’s car.
“I don’t like him….. I love him. Just that I’m getting fed up. He kept keeping me away from him. He canceled the private lesson I instigated and with the way he is acting towards me, he doesn’t want me around him” Jennifer complained.
“How can you be in love with someone who is not in love with you. Is that not stupidity? Its obvious he didn’t like you let alone love you. If he likes you, he won’t cancel the private lesson as you said. Why then are you forcing yourself on him?” Ruth asked.
“Ruth can you take it easy? Why are you talking this way?” Sandra asked Ruth.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Its better we tell her the truth. Its better she keeps herself away from him to avoid heartbreak.” Ruth said.
“Hold it there! Ruth. Its none of your business if I love someone who doesn’t love me. I have a feeling that he love me but…
“But what?” Ruth interrupted before she could finish. “Its foolish to think that someone loves you and for someone like Mike… that’s stupidity. With the way you are behaving I’m sure you can do anything to have him. You can spread your leg for him like a slut in his office if he tells you to” Ruth said and looked away with a knowing even face.
“Sandra I won’t stand here and take rubbish from Ruth. Tell her to know how you talk to me.” Jennifer was getting fed up
“Ruth can you stop? How can you be telling her that? You are sounding as if you are jealous of her.” Sandra said.
“Jealous of someone who is forcing herself on married man? She should be ashamed of herself” Ruth said Jennifer jolted in anger.
“Who told you he’s married?” Sandra asked.
“Whatever. Just tell her to stop forcing herself on a man who doesn’t like her. Caleb is dying for her, a guy who is ready to do anything for her and she’s here, dying for another man who don’t care about her. Caleb is the perfect guy for her.” Ruth said and Jennifer couldn’t take it again. She tried to attack Ruth and Sandra held her back.
“You want to fight me because of a man? You should be happy to have a friend who is telling you the truth. Have value for yourself. “Ruth said and Jennifer glared at her with anger.
“I’m sorry if it hurts you but I’m just telling you the truth. They say truth is bitter” Ruth said as she noticed Jennifer burning in anger.
‘That’s not how to talk to friends. Don’t talk to hurt. You know you can do anything when you love someone. I know you can do worst if you are in her shoes.” Sandra said.
“I’m not loose. I can control myself….., it’s alright. I’m sorry, my bad.” Ruth pleaded with a fake guilt face and they later reconciled after long battle of words and entered Sandra’s car, then she drove off.
