So Far, So Good

“Can I complete the make up work I already started now?” Lanre said to Anita. Then she told them she would need money only for the service she did. She was not going to include the items because it all belongs to Anita.

“Anita, do you not think you are being too harsh?” Ify said to Anita. While Lanre scoffed at her words.

“Ify stop! I have made my decision. I do not like people who do not take other people seriously”. Anita said. To hell with doing anything her crush wanted. He and Lanre can go to hell and burn. Anita thought. She did not care anymore what K wanted. It’s her wedding, her take. To hell with crush, she was going to move on now.

“Anita, can I fix your make up now? Or you do not want me to touch you since I take things unserious?” Lanre asked with a smile on her face. It was forced. She just kept it own so she can fight off the tears.

Anita seem reluctant. “Well I did for ten people already. None of the make up artist you brought could do anything. Since it seems my job has been completed, can I get my pay so I can leave”. Lanre said.

She was sick of people judging her character. It is not like they are better themselves. A few hours, barely four hours ago, Anita was condemning Ify for being a talkative who does not know how to keep shut. Because she thought Ify was the one who gave her the information that Anita had referred to her as a lout.

Lanre thought if she was like some persons, she was going to cause a rift between so many people. Especially those who can’t shut their mouths.

“How much I’m I paying you?” Anita asked Lanre.

Lanre smiled. “Don’t worry, take it as a wedding gift that arrived earlier”. Lanre said and walked out of the room. She went straight to the visitors room. She packed her bag wanting to leave. But on a second thought, she decided to stay back then attend like a normal guest.

She dressed up in one of her dress. It was not that splendid like a dress one would use for a wedding, but she never planned for it either. She just happened to bring it along. It was a plane dress that ends right above her knees. The hand was a single sleeve. And the other side had no hand at all. She made sure she arranged all her things. She may even return back to school before Ify, if she feels anymore discomfort.

So far so good, it has been Anita’s mother she has come to like. The woman was free with her and good to her as well.

Lanre came out of the visitor’s room. The dress she wore was a blue dress and she had matched it up with the blue heels the stranger of a guy who’s face she can never forget got for her.
