CHAPTER TEN
Later in the evening, Alyana got home and freshened up, she was about to lie down when Violet barged into her room without knocking.
"Violet learn how to knock for God's sake, respect my privacy please". Alyana let out looking at Violet.
"Sorry Alyana, I had no choice. I need a favor from you and hope you don't refuse it". Violet asked with a pleading look.
"Go ahead". Alyana said, moving to sit down.
"Ehm Alyana, I know this is weird but I recently saw some earrings on you and I want to ask you for them please. I think they will go well with my outfit". Violet mumbled quickly.
"What earrings are you talking about, could you explain what they looked like". Alyana asked.
"Well, it looked old but shiny, and not to forget its pin earrings". Violet explained.
"I think I know the earrings you're talking about Violet and I can't lend them to you". Alyana replied.
"But why Alyana, I promise to bring them back instantly". Violet said looking at Alyana.
"I can't lend them to you because it's my mum and I don't want anything to go wrong". Alyana explained to Violet who refused to give up until she gets what she is here for.
"Alyana just this once, I promise to return Them safe and sound". Violet said looking at Alyana who had no choice but to give it to the persistent Violet.
"Thank you so much Alyana, don't worry, I promise I will guard this with my life". She said putting the earrings on.
"Well, does it look good on me?". Violet asked Alyana.
"Yes Violet, it does suit you well". Alyana answered sincerely.
"I hope Oliver likes it too," Violet said looking at Alyana who couldn't help but look shocked at what Violet said.
"Oliver?" Alyana asked
"Yes Alyana, Oliver and I will be meeting up to have dinner, thank you so much for introducing him to me," Violet replied holding Alyana's hand.
"I like him Alyana, he's so nice and caring and I think he also likes me too". Violet said, making Alyana talk.
"Seriously, you think he feels the same way towards you". Alyana asked.
"Yes I do, we don't fail to text or call each other daily, and today we are going to get to know each other more and who knows we might confess our feelings to each other". Violet squealed, making Alyana weak.
"Won't you say anything Alyana"? Violet asked looking at Alyana to get her reaction.
Alyana quickly masked her emotions and replied"I am so happy for you Violet, I wish both of you the best". She said turning her back at Violet.
"Thank you so much Alyana I will be leaving now, see you when I get back". Violet said leaving Alyana's room without caring even if Alyana was heartbroken. Alyana just rolled on her bed hugging her pillow with tears streaming down her face.
Why was she crying?. She couldn't understand what she was feeling but wanted to find out why it hurts so much.
The sun was shining dazzlingly and brightly but Alyana couldn't wake up early, maybe it was because it was the weekend or because she couldn't rest early, bothered by her discussion with Violet.
To clear off her mind she decided to ask Camilla if she was free to go out with her. She knocked at Camilla's door waiting to be answered
"Who's there? come in," Camilla mumbled from under her blanket.
"Wake up sleepyhead," Alyana said, pulling Camilla's blanket from her body.
"Alyanaaa, it's still so early. What do you need me for so early?" Camilla asked, pulling her blanket back on her body.
"Do you have anything planned for today? I want to spend time with you today." Alyana replied.
"Even if I have anything planned out, I can't miss this opportunity of going out with my favorite sister," Camilla said, making Alyana smile.
"But I am your only sister?," Alyana replied.
"Even if you are, you are still my favorite." Camilla let out.
"Take your time and get ready, I will be waiting for you downstairs but still I hope you won't take too long, you know I am not good at waiting," Alyana whispered before leaving Camilla's room.
Thirty minutes later, Camilla came down, and together the two sisters went to the nearest restaurant to dine.
The two sisters had several common features but Camilla was prettier than Alyana. To Camilla, Alyana was the mother she did not have so, she cherished her so much.
After they were done eating, Alyana ordered dessert. She was serving Camilla her plate when Camilla asked her"Alyana why haven't you opened any social media accounts?"
"Camilla, you of all people should understand why I didn't join, I don't find any of that useful In my life and people might criticize me," Alyana explained before eating her dessert.
"Alyana you haven't tried it yet, why condemn yourself this early. Give it a try sis, you never can say what is hidden for you there." Camilla replied.
"Camilla, my style alone won't attract anyone and I am so used to working myself up, I am just not ready so please let this discussion end here." Alyana let out feeling frustrated.
Camilla had no choice but to let go of the topic since she could feel Alyana was not happy or comfortable speaking about it.
Later in the day, after Alyana dropped Camilla home, she decided to visit Nanay at the hospital. She brought some fruit on her way. When she got to the hospital, she asked the nurse behind the desk for Nanay's room which was directed to her.
She got to the door and knocked but there was no reply so she let herself in. She looked around before noticing Nanay's bed was by the right, she quickly walked up to her, and luckily Nanay was awake but Oliver wasn't there making Alyana glad because she wasn't ready to face him.
"Good day to you Nanay, how are you feeling now," Alyana asked, looking at her with concern.
"Who are you ma'am, do I know you?" Nanay asked looking at Alyana.
"Nanay, it's me Oliver's friend, Oliver informed me you were sick so I came to see how you are doing," Alyana explained.
"Alyana, how have you been," Nanay asked sitting up.
"Good Nanay, and you?" Alyana questioned.
"I am doing better now but tried of staying at the hospital," Nanay answered looking at Alyana.
"You will soon be discharged Nanay, just focus on getting better. What about Oliver? I didn't see him around." Alyana asked.
"Since it is the weekend and there Is no work yet at the chocolate shop, he went to the bar to work for some hours," Nanay explained to Alyana.
Alyana was about to say something when the door opened making both Alyana and Nanay turn noticing the tired-looking Oliver.
On seeing Oliver, Alyana's heart couldn't help but beat fast.
"Oh stupid heart, why now?" She asked looking away.
