Chapter 4 GOODBYE

I FELL FOR MY BOSS

Chapter Four: GOODBYE

"You're leaving me," Dorris stated blinking severally. She was at the brink of tears, but she was trying to fight it as she blinked the tears away.

"Stella, you're leaving me" she stated again and this time she burst into tears,as she couldn't hold it back any longer.

"No, no. I won't cry, this is not a time to be sober." She said wiping her eyes free from tears. She looked at Stella and smiled.

"Now, it's time to give you a makeover, so you won't have to look like an outcast in the city" Dorris said cheerfully, looking at Stella.

"But Dorris".......Stella tried to protest, but was cut short by Dorris.

"No no no no no no, not another word. Come sit here" Dorris snickered and she obeyed. Dorris made her sit on a chair in front of the mirror, and she was quietly seated.

"Very good, now let me see that dress you're holding......she uttered collecting the gown from Stella.

"So, I'll give you five minutes to put this on" she ordered

"Yes ma" Stella laughed, as she stood up and began walking towards the small room.

Seeing Dorris do all this only made her realize how much she was going to miss her and her silly jokes.

"Girl, are you going to take the whole day to put on a single dress?" she complained after Stella spent sometime without coming out. She waited for some minutes, and just as she was about complaining again. Stella walked out, looking as beautiful as ever.

Dorris's jaw dropped as she stared at her.

"Wow you look fabulous" she commented with a bright smile, exposing her immaculate set of teeth. Dorris was just so naturally blessed.

"But you've never worn this dress before" Dorris stated, just observing that fact.

"Yeah, that's because my mom just got it yesterday because of my journey." She said with a faint smile.

"Then your mum must be in the spirit" she said as she pulled Stella down to a chair. She dipped her hand into her bag and brought out a make up kit. She started doing some magic on Stella's face, and in no time she was done. She looked at her face in amazement and smiled.

"Wow, you look stunning" she beamed.

"Thank you" Stella forced a smile, as she was trying to see her face in the mirror.

"Here, this is for you" Dorris smiled handing the bag she brought over to Stella.

"What is this for?" Stella asked looking confused as she slowly reached and collected the bag.

"Uhmmm, these are the new clothes my mum got for me two days ago, but I think you'll be needing them most since you're going to be traveling to the city" Dorris shrugged with a small smile.

"No, I can't accept this......Stella said frowning. "I can't, they are yours, your mum got them for you. And it will be very bad of me to collect them from you."She added, giving it back to her.

"If you truly love me as a friend, then please collect them from me....Look, Dorris started taking her hand in hers. "You are my friend and I know what is good for you, I have more than enough clothes, and I have wronged you all this while by not sharing them with you."

"Take them as my last gift to you, this is all I want from you my dear. You are my best friend and I love you dearly, it already breaks my heart badly that you are leaving. Do not add to my stress by turning down my gift." Dorris said almost in tears.

"And here, you can have this too, you'll need them in the city." She said handing her makeup kit to Stella.

"Are these not for your........ Stella was pointing to the make up kit.

"Yeah, I know they are my mum's but you can have them." Dorris said forcing them into her hands. Stella embraced Dorris tightly, and they both bursted into tears.

"I don't know what I would have done without you Dorris" Stella cooed holding her tightly, still crying.

"I love you my dear friend, and I do not want you to go.....Dorris was sobbing seriously.

"I wish there was something I could do to help out your father, how I wish I could turn back the hand of time, we would have done everything in our power to make him fine. He would have been healthy and strong, who would I talk to in this village? What would I be doing without you here? This one year is going to be a nightmare." She cried.

"Enough girls" a strange voice echoed from the room. And they all turned around to see a plump woman dressed in all white. She brought out a huge bundle of money and handed it to Stella's mum, who collected it on a sad note.

"Where is the girl?" she asked looking around and Stella's mother pointed to her. She studied Stella from head to toe before finally speaking up.

"Let's get going, I'll be outside" she said and left the room. Stella sighed sadly and walked to Grace. She hugged her, and then turned to Dorris and hugged her again, and lastly she turned to her mum and hugged her too.

"When Christopher wakes up, tell him I love him" she said and quickly left to catch up with the woman.

Everyone was sad as they watched her go. Stella is gone, for a whole year, this is the last they're gonna see Stella in a year.

Honestly, this one year's gonna be a long one for them, especially Dorris who has no friend apart from stella here in the village.

Well, there's nothing they could do. They just have to hope and pray she's okay, and that this would not be the last time they would see her.

With this, Dorris wiped her tears, and decided to be strong.
