You never expected this to happen. One moment, you were performing on the streets of Spain and the next, you were signing a contract that will ruin your future. Your parents died because of the Spanish army and your sisters boyfriend was killed by a...
You woke up the next day, not remembering where you were. It took you a couple of seconds to remember that you were at Diego's house for a short while till you get your house back. You stood up from your bed and looked out the window to see the family in a fuss already. And that's when you heard a knock on your door.
"Um, hello? This is Lalita. I came here to check up on you. May I come in?"
Lalita asked from behind the door. You quickly made it to the door and opened it for her.
"Good morning!"
Lalita exclaimed with a closed - eye smile. You gave her a small smile back and let her inside the room.
"Not bad at all."
She commented about the interior of the room.
"Looks better than I expected."
You looked at her in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
You asked her. She sighed and sat down in one of the chairs.
"That idiot Diego at least knows how to pick out rooms for guests."
You frowned.
"Why do you call Diego an idiot? He's a nice guy, there's nothing wrong about him...."
"Say, are you in love with him?"
Lalita said with a smirk.
"No!"
You yelled back, putting your hands to your sides.
"I just...."
You paused.
"Why do you call him that?"
Lalita's face returned to normal and she stared blankly at the floor. A moment of silence went by before she gathered the courage to reply.
"Before. When we were little kids, we were best friends and we always helped each other. He used to be brave and caring, loyal and funny......"
She paused for another moment and continued.
"He protected me from boys that bullied me. I loved him. Truly. With all my heart...... But after he came from Spain, he became a whole different person."
She sighed.
"He became dumb and boring. Lazy, stupid, antisocial, apathetic, childish, a coward, disorganized, disrespectful, foolish, forgetful, fussy, grumpy, gullible......"
She stopped, seeing your sad face.
"Anyways, let's stop talking about the negative."
She smiled and showed you the dress she had with her.
"I got it for you. Why don't you take a shower and put this dress on for today?"
She handed you the dress she bought and sat down on a chair near by.
