Third person's POV
“Lara please pass me the fish ” Safiiya said.
They were currently at the kitchen. Safiiya was making Lara's favorite (pounded yam and vegetable soup) as a way of cheering Lara who has been moody up. Safiiya was the head chef in the Villa.
Lara passed the bowl of Fish to her without even looking up. Safiiya knew something was wrong but she didn't know what exactly. This was the first time she ever saw Lara in such a foul mood,she was always lively and energetic.
“Lara what exactly is wrong with you? You have being moody since you came back from your Grandparents house ” Safiiya left what she was doing and faced Lara “I know I have no right to my meddle in your affairs with your husband but are you guys fighting or something cos since you came back from your grandparents house you guys have being distant from each other ”
Lara didn't say anything.
“wait!! ” Safiiya exclaimed
“don't tell me you didn't inform him before leaving the Villa ”
“no Safiiya I bin tell am bfr I commot ”
“Then what's the problem girl? ”
“wen e cum pick me something happen. We...
“Safiiya are you in there? ”
Shola voice stopped Lara from saying whatever she wanted to say. She was nervous, she hasn't seen Shola for the past six days It was as if he was avoiding her.
“we ll continue this conversation later okay ” Safiiya said more like a whisper “yes sir I'm in here ”
Shola walked into the kitchen. She didn't see Lara at first. In a kitchen as big as that it is not possible to see every part of it at once.
“I'm having a business dinner tonight and I want you and your team to prepare a feast ” he said while walking round the kitchen.
“I want varieties of dishes, both continental and intercontinental .Mr kapoor will be coming so I....
Shola stopped talking when he saw Lara. She looked up and they were both having some kind of starring contest. Lara was trying to read his expression but she couldn't. Shola was trying hard to mask his emotions.
“Sir what about Mr kapoor?” Safiiya broke their little moment. One could cut the tension in the kitchen with a knife .
“eh ehm ” Shola cleared his throat. “Mr kapoor will be coming so I want you guys to prepare alittle bit of spicy food”
He kept on talking all the while avoiding Lara's eyes
“Safiiya I trust you know what to do.. This is not the first time am having a dinner meeting ” after that he was gone.
“Girl... What was that about.. You should thank me for breaking that eye contest you both were having ”
Lara burst into tears. Safiiya felt bad for her.
“shhh it's OK girl.. Whatever it is I know you two ll get through it ”
“haa I n..o know...wetin... I do ” Lara said inbetween hiccups.
“Don't over think it, maybe he is just busy with work. You guys are a strong couple you ll get through this ”
Lara kept on crying. She didn't even know what was wrong with Shola. Ever since that night he has being avoiding her. Not even a word has been spoken to her since they got back.
~~~~~~~~flash back..
After the consummated their marriage they both fell asleep on the beach.
Lara woke up and she couldn't feel the ground.. When she looked up she saw it was Shola carrying her in bridal style.
“Shola we de go house now? ” she asked when she remembered last night. It was still very early in the morning so thankfuly there was no body on the beach yet.
“shh go back to sleep.. ” she didn't argue with him and off she went into dream land but before that she could swear he heard something along the line “I'm sorry please forgive me ” sorry for what she wondered. It must have been in her dream she taught to herself.
The next time she woke up she was in their room on their matrimonial bed. She stood up but fell down.. She was in pain she felt sore. Her legs were weak.
When she finally stood up with the help of the wall. She looked down at her clothes and saw red stains (blood) on it . She went into the bathroom and saw that Shola already prepared a bath for her. She stripped down and entered into the bathtub.
She was smiling when she thought back to last night, she couldn't wait for Shola to come back she missed him already.
Little did she know that things were about to change in their marriage...
~~~~~~end of flashback
After crying Safiiya took her back to her and Shola's room where she had lunch.
Shola hasn't slept in the the room since that day which was like a week ago.
“are you feeling better now? ”Safiiya asked
“tnk u Safiiya I no know Wetin I for do wit out u for dis Villa... ”
“oh it's nothing...what are friends for”
“plz no tell Mk anything ”
“why wouldn't I....”
“please ”
“OK I won't tell him or anyone else.. Are you happy? ”
“yes tnk u... I de miss my grandma I wan go see her ” Lara said she felt she needed to tell her grandma all what's happening.
“Girl I don't think that's a good idea.. You know Shola would be mad at you if you don't inform him before leaving the Villa ”
“I know.. I no go stay long ” Lara tried to convince her.
“No Girl.. I'm not on this one with you...the both of you are already having issues, don't complicate things by leaving without his consent. ”
“OK ” Lara knew Safiiya had a point.
“okay then.. I'll leave you to rest.. I ll check on you when am done in the kitchen ”
Safiiya left and Lara went to sleep.
30minutes later she heard the door open she thought it was Safiiya.
“Safiiya u don finish? ” she asked but didn't get a reply she looked up saw last person she wanted to see right now.
