Chapter 5 Online Friend.

Nofisat's POV

Say to my face that, you are the one that decides on studying Business Administration. Angry Kola said as she walk into my room.

When I heard her voice, I know war is coming.

The day I have been preparing for has arrived, ACTION!!. I said to myself.

Hi baby girl, I said and pretend not to hear her.

I need an explanation. She said, sounding mad.

Explanation of what dear.

My goodness I miss you so much, come on, hug mummy.

You have been away for two weeks straight, and here you her shouting at me, you can't imagine how much I feel sad right now.

Feel sad!!, You must be out of your senses, we have been friends since primary school, so you think I don't know you, fine! fine!! But why did you lie to me, sometimes in life you face challenges, I know you might feel bad to tell me, but I am not the type you need to lie to, I feel very disappointed in you right now, I feel you didn't trust me.

Enough of all the lies, and I don't want to hear any explanation again, no excuse. she said and Left

I break down on my knees, and tears roll down my cheeks, all she said was true, and that makes me feel guilty and pained. Why are things turning back to me like this, why me? Why me!!, I said as tears were running down my cheeks.

I messaged her on WhatsApp but no reply, I tried calling her, but her line was on reachable.

While trying to reach her, a stranger texted me on Facebook messenger, "Hi can we be friends, I can bring you to a good mood tonight" he texted

Who is this, was the word I uttered, I saw his profile picture, it is a picture probably download online. A part of me also want to come alive, so I replied to his message.

Friend request accepted, I typed.

You have done that long ago, I guess I will not be able to chat you up if you have not accepted my friend request. He texted

Smile, that was my reply

That's not funny dear, so can I ask you some questions in other to know you better? He asked.

Question! No problem?

Hmmm. That was my response.

Why hmmm, he asked

So what language did you speak? I asked.

Hmmmm I replied.

What is the meaning of hmmm, he asked?

How will I explain this, I thought. So I decided to make a voice note.

You mean Nofisat, he makes a voice note, his voice is calm and ... I haven't heard such a beautiful voice before, I played it more than five times, wow I have such a beautiful name, I guess that's because it's his language.

Are you there Nofisat, his message brings me back to reality.

I am here, what is your name, I asked.

You have such a beautiful voice, I said.

Thanks. I have to attend to something right now, he texted and went offline.

Just as he said, he brings me into a good mood, and I keep on listening to his voice note. I lost a friend, I got a new friend instantly from another country
