David was my very good friend,we tell ourselves everything and share things together. But I had a roommate,Mary. She is a person I’ve loved right from the day I saw her within the school premises. I decided to talk to her,we became very good friends and we watch out for ourselves and that was how we started living together.
But things didn’t stop between David and I. David really liked Mary a lot but I didn’t take him serious because he had a lot of girls that he liked too. But he kept on pestering me that he’s really in love with her. At some point, I believed him and I spoke to the both of them,that was how they became really close but I made sure I watched out for both of them.
David makes sure he tells me everything. His relationship with Mary didn’t limit our friendship. But from my side, I readjusted because I needed to give them space. All of a sudden, I started noticing some changes with Mary. She stopped talking to me, she even stopped cooking my meal and even asked Me to stop cooking hers. I kept wondering if everything was ok. I was at force to call her one day to know if everything was ok.
We woke up one morning, I noticed she was in a good mood somehow so I sat her down and said, “Girlfriend, is everything ok?, I have been noticing some changes and you’ve not been talking to me and I’m really worried.” Her response was really surprising. She said to me, “Did I tell you something is wrong?,Why are you accusing me wrongly?, If I don’t talk to you,then accept it!”
I felt really bad and all that came to my mind was to talk to her boyfriend. I got to David’s place, knocked on the door and he was happy to let me in as usual. “Hey! Come on in!” I entered his room, he offered me some snacks and I explained everything to him, he was surprised because Mary never told him anything. But he promised to talk to her and let me know what exactly went wrong.
Two days later, David called me on the phone and told me she didn’t say anything but he will keep trying to talk to her. I was still very worried because I can’t do without her. But I couldn’t do anything. All I needed to do is to give her some space probably she will change or even tell me what went wrong.
So I went to stay with one of our friend, Praise. But I couldn’t hold it, I had to explain things to her and she promised to help talk to her which I agreed. Few days later,Praise came to my door but I was fast asleep when I had a shout at my door and I came out to see Mary shouting. At first, I was surprised because Mary wasn’t in the room. Probably Praise met her at the door when she wanted to come and see Mary.
Mary started shouting, she was telling Praise that *this girl is dating my boyfriend!, she isn’t allowing me to see my man! She’s a bad friend! When she wanted to be with him,why did she introduce me to him? “I was shocked, I didn’t say a word because everything she said about me wasn’t true. I had to call David to come over to the house. Praise was still trying to calm her down when David came around, yelled at her “stop all of this!” That was when she was calm and listened to what her boyfriend was about to say.
David said to her, “I have known this person before I knew you, don’t expect me to stop talking to her because we are in a relationship.” Praise was shocked because she never expected such from Mary. Praise knew I had noticed to do with her boyfriend. I was glad that someone was there to trust me that I can never do such.
Praise said to Mary, “you should have asked instead of judging. Imagine the way you’ve felt all this while And at the end, you’ve been barking up the wrong tree, don’t let a little situation like this ruin your relationship, she’s your friend and at least if you noticed anything, you should have spoken out”. She then apologized to David and I. Everything went back to normal but I limited my friendship with David totally so that peace could reign.
