C9 CHAPTER 9: SINAZOLENGWE 2

Lucilla had already prepared everything upon her arrival, so the girls didn't have to rush around helplessly while the guys assigned to Lucilla dealt with everything.

Avita gazed out the window as she was driven to this unknown location.

The girls traveled on their outing to Ghabina, one of Sinazolengwe's biggest and famous cities.

Ghabina was highly known for its waterfalls and also has one of the world's greatest wonders. The reason for this was that Ghabina was near the edge of the continent, with the ocean on the other side.

All of this knowledge, Avita learned from the girls who appeared to have visited this location before they met.

Lucilla actually demonstrated what it feels like to be wealthy.

The girls were going to stay at the number one hotel in Ghabina, a five-star hotel.

Avita didn't want to overburden herself because she knew that staying in this hotel for only one night would give her a headache. As a result, the less she knew, the better for her thinking.

Everyone had their own suites on the same floor, eliminating the need to share and providing more solitude.

Avita was relieved since she didn't have to share a room with the girls she had come with.

Avita cleaned up first and changed into another dress inside her suite, leaving her with only one more outfit.

'Alas, it appears that I will need to purchase additional garments at this pace!'

But there was one snag. She questioned whether her funds would be sufficient to splurge here. Perhaps she will simply remind Lucilla that she was the one who encouraged her not to bring anything.

Avita had put her Sim cards on roaming due to Lucilla's persuasion. Lucilla had enough airtime to call her boyfriend if she so desired. At the same time, she can simply utilize Whatsapp, the cheapest and most affordable method of communication.

She didn't have to worry about anything as long as there was Wi-Fi and the internet connection in the hotel was excellent. As a result, Avita decided to save airtime.

She intended to put it to good use when she returned to Oshua.

Avita called her lover on the video to let him know she has arrived. At the same time, she emailed him images of the private plane and the location where she had traveled.

They talked for a while before Patrick had to leave to assist his father with something.

Avita and the girlfriends met after 90 minutes, and they went shopping first. They weren't really hungry because they had eaten on the plane about an hour before landing.

Lucilla honored her promise by shopping again and adding more clothing to Avita's closet.

Avita's clothes were carefully packed in a suitcase being pulled by one of Lucilla's bodyguards in about an hour when the shopping ended.

This was the first day of the journey.

The girls spent the next few days visiting various places they thought were interesting and having a great time.

They also used this opportunity to bond and become so close that Avita was no longer repelled by the sight of these girls.

After spending more time with Avita, Beauty, Kerry, and Tania saw that she was incredibly knowledgeable and well-rounded.

"I can't believe you can do all of that! What exactly are you made of?" Tania exclaimed with surprise as she confirmed with Avita.

"When you are stranded, you can learn everything," Avita giggled, observing her so-called friends' exaggerated faces, “you'll discover that doing a lot of DIYs can save you a lot of time and money."

"Ahhh, as much as that may be true, I don't think I want to go through with it. I'm going to be a slacker until the day I die!"

"Umphh, do you think your future mother-in-law will tolerate that?"

"What if she can't stand it? I'm bringing a lot of money into their house. And they expect me to work hard as well? They must be kidding!"

Avita shook her head helplessly as she listened to her companions' strange chat. She was becoming acclimated to the way they talked and thought, but she still found it difficult to believe or accept.

"What do you think, Avita?"

Avita returned her gaze to the females and inquired, "Think about what?"

"What do you think a woman should do when it comes to settling down?" Beauty asked, intrigued.

"Oh, do you mean that? I am a person who firmly believes in love. So, I believe we should settle down with someone we truly love and are at ease with. He should respect you as a woman, take care of you, and treat you as if you were his entire world!" Avita responded with a confident smile on her face.

"Are you trying to flaunt your man here?" Lucilla taunted Avita because she was so shy.

“You…. That is not the case. I'm just making a point!"

"I don't believe you're right there, Avita. Before we go there, a woman should be with a man who can financially support her. Before we even consider marriage, we need to choose a rich individual or someone of our position!"

"Riches aren't always the answer. You may find a wealthy man, but you will not be happy!"

"What if you meet a wealthy man and fall in love with him? What are your plans?"

The talk veered off course, but the girls had a good time because they contributed significantly to the story.

When everyone had gone to bed, Avita couldn't help but feel conflicted about what she and the girls had discussed. She also had a sleepless night.

The girls went shopping for souvenirs and gifts for the people they left behind on Monday, the day they were returning to Oshua.

They finally left for the airport after shopping, and they had another long trip back home.

Avita hugged Beauty and the other two goodbyes in the parking lot because they wouldn't have time to meet and have fun like they used to.

Lucilla, on the other hand, was going to send her back to her apartment before heading home.

Lucilla didn't forget to make herself appear lovely in front of Avita on the walk to her neighborhood, and Avita gratefully embraced her benevolence.

The other was actually trying her hardest, and she would be a fool not to notice.

Lucilla mentioned something to Avita before departing that made her head spin for a long time.

"Can you come to our house this weekend? My mother is so excited to see you!"
