"I'm done bathing. Go and have your
bath so we can leave." Said Cynthia as she walked towards Sophia where she sat on the bed so she could accompany her to the bathroom. She held Sophia's hands and was about to pull her out of the bed but Sophia acted in a way Cynthia wasn't comfortable with.
"What's wrong?" Cynthia asked, seeing how Sophia acted sluggish and weak.
"Are you okay?" Cynthia asked as she placed her palm on Sophia's neck to see if she was running a temperature.
"Your temperature isn't that bad. Tell me what's wrong." Cynthia spoke as she swiftly sat beside Sophia, holding her two hands and gazing up at her worried face.
"Tell me sister… or are you having a crush on someone and…" Cynthia couldn't finish her statement as she smiled naughtily at Sophia and winked at her crazily.
"Huh? Crush on someone?" Sophia asked as she widened her eyes in disbelief, gazing at Cynthia and creasing her brows upwards.
"Nah, Nah, Nah… I'm not crushing on anyone." Said Sophia as she gave Cynthia a funny look.
Cynthia laughed out loud, slightly and playfully hitting Sophia.
"I was just kidding. So tell me… what's the issue?" Cynthia asked, looking serious now.
Sophia cleared her throat.
"I'm not having the strength to look for a dress I'm going to wear." Said Sophia as she stretched her body and yawned.
"Wait… this is the reason?" Cynthia asked.
Sophia nodded.
"This was the reason you were acting sluggishly earlier? Like seriously? Wow! Unbelievable! You scared me, you know?" Cynthia sounded really worried as she sighed.
"I'm sorry if my actions troubled you." Sophia apologized.
"Anyways, it's fine. I can help you look for a dress to put on." Cynthia protested as stood up from the bed, dragging and pulling Sophia to the bathroom.
"I can even bath you if you don't mind. Ma'am, your wish is my command. Always!" Said Cynthia.
They got to the bathroom door as she helped Sophia pull off her night wear and was about walking into the bathroom when Sophia stopped her.
"Wait…" Said Sophia and Cynthia waited.
"I can bath myself." Said Sophia.
Cynthia gazed at Sophia and was stubborn to listen.
"I know you can but right now, you can't." Said Cynthia.
"I can" Sophia argued.
"Are you sure? I don't want a situation where you would say you lack the strength to bath. That's why I'm doing all of this. I know you have always never wanted to accept the offer." Said Cynthia and Sophia kept smiling crazily.
"You are just looking for a way to disappear from the plan we had but if you say so, it's fine. You can go and bath while I search for your outfit." Cynthia said as she walked away from Sophia, leaving her to bath on her own.
A few moments later, Sophia finished bathing as she walked towards the bed. She saw that Cynthia had already arranged her dress and carefully placed them on the bed.
