The Way Out (3)

Chapter eleven.

Elena sat on the bed and looked at her friend, who has just kept the Crystal tray of food on the mini silver and wooden rectangular table two meters away from her bed.

" What are you doing here Sara?" she asked and folded her arms under her breast.

Sara looked at Elena and scoffed, " What else if not to see my supposed dying friend."

" I never told you that I was dying" Sara eyed her while studying her face and expression, she took out her phone from her pocket pants.

" Are you not supposed to be crying, why is your face painted with makeup? You made everyone restless," she said while typing furiously on her phone.

" Are you expecting me to be in tears and give them the satisfaction they needed," she said and raised her eyebrows with a nonchalant indifferent attitude.

Sara sent a message through her phone and kept it on the bed. Turning to face Elena, she smiled" I wasn't expecting you to be in tears when I arrived my dear friend, or throw anything on the floor on the grand of playing a tantrum but I know you, Elena. we have been friends for over six years now. I know all is not well with what happened yesterday and what I experienced today on my arrival

And If you need a shoulder to lean on and tell your problems. I'm always here for you like always.

I thought something had gone wrong when you didn't pick up your call yesterday when I called ."

Elena's eyes and nose turned sour as she fight back her tears and looked at her best friend who has always been there for her no matter what.

" I'm sorry for making you worried."

" No, you are my friend Lena, you did not make me worried. I was rather excited to be here," she said with a smile lingering across her face

"if you picked up my call yesterday. I wouldn't have been here today at least to witness this beautiful drama and the scene you created and now, I know how my friend is loved," she said trying to crack a joke and enlighten the atmosphere.

Elena tried to smile at her joke but it came out stiff.

Sara removed her sandals and climbed on the bed. " Elena," she called softly and held her hands.

" It's okay, you can let it out. I'm here!"s he whispered.

Elena stiffened as the tears she has been holding back flowed down freely. Sara pulled her friend into a hug patting her back softly.

" It's okay Lena, I know it's going to find," she said while stroking her smooth wavy black hair.

"Sara, my parent wants me to marry a man they arranged for me."

" What?" Sara back stiffened and she looked at Elena.

" What do you say?" Elena raised her head from Sara's shoulder and looked at her solemnly with a tiny sad smile on her face.

" Elena, my parent is forcing me into a marriage...." Elena looked at Sara and cried while explaining her whole ordeal to her, before the story ended, Sara and Elena were in all tears.

" I'm sorry Elena," she said as she wiped Elena's tears and pulled her into a hug.

" You have to be strong to overcome these." she consoled but she was sure that no matter what. Elena won't be able to overcome this. Her parent is not someone that can be easily rebelled against unless they changed their mind which she doubted, they would.

She has seen the two before today and she was good at reading people, especially during a discussion.

"it's okay, I will always be here for you and will always support any decision you make."

" Thank you Sara" Elena raised her teary eyes and said.

" Maybe the man will reject you. So you don't have to be so tense. By the way." she looked at Elena and folded her lips while blinking

" Do you know the man? I mean his name or anything at all. Anything we can use to track him."

Elena looked at her friend and smiled stiffly and nodded.

" According to the information, I read about him. He is the infamous Alexander...

" What!" Sara looked at her with wide eyes and blinked her eyes unbelievable. She knew he was going to be powerful but not as powerful as he is. A man knew all over the world. His fame in America couldn't be denied. He wondered how they came across such a man...

The question should be, is there a way out. if he did not reject her?

....
