Moving mountains doesn't determine the level of your strength, the ability to think that you can do.

"Arghh Nadia! put the fu**ing curtains down you pu$$y", Emily groaned as the aftermath of drinking hit her hard.
"tsk tsk, so sad. Showing me her vulnerable self yesterday and putting up with her arrogant demeanor once she wakes up, before showering me with curses". Nadia spoke rather harshly while staring at Emily, lying on the bed.
Emily turned, sitting upright defying the law of hangover and headache, with a pillow stabling her back, and glanced at the latter, whose eyes were filled with words that needed to be spoken.
"What do you want to talk about, is it so important that you need to start an argument with me this fine morning?". Emily asked softly while rubbing her temple, she knew she was going to have a bigger headache once they started talking.
"After all the thinking I had, I decided that I am going for the interview at the Armando mansion", Nadia stated.
"And why if I may ask". Emily asked her voice surprisingly turned cold and distant.
Gazing at Emily who had a cold expression on her face, she rolled her eyes at her before answering.
"I think it high time I took a stand for myself, ever since we were friends- no sisters in the orphanage, I have always been the one on the sideline watching you do everything from working and doing odd jobs just to sustain both of us making me feel like I'm using you-"
"I had never complained did I". Emily voiced out stopping her from completing her words.
"I understand you might not feel worried about working yourself to death but I am and besides the job proposed by the Armando is much better with a higher pay and with-".
"And I say no! why do you always want to act like this Nadia, have we ever been suffering or ever begged since we left the orphanage. We both work and we still pay the bills, rent, buy food and even have enough for our savings... Or is it because of the man you met yesterday?". Emily questioned not hiding the fury in her eyes
"Nonsense!, I don't even know his name more or less wish to do what only God knows you are thinking about to him". Nadia said while glaring at Emily.
"Then why are you still persistent! why don't you give up on this Armando rubbish once and for all Nadia the whole thing is all a scam, he isn't even looking for a nanny". Emily roared with anger, her veins were trembling on her neck, and her forehead was covered with sweat, realizing what she just said she covered her mouth with her hands in an attempt to stop speaking, but what was said, was said. She could not take back what she said in a fit of anger.
"How do you know all this Emily, what is up with you, why are you preventing me from working there, what secrets are you hiding Emily aren't we supposed to be best friends?. The curiosity is killing me and eating me deep into my bones". Nadia said as she sat down close to Emily gazing at her with her misty brown eyes.
"It's nothing Nadia, they are just rumors I hear from where I work and I am scared for us especially you Nadia. I don't want us to regret it later on", she spoke while lowering her head and avoiding Nadia's gaze of uncertainty.
"Isn't that another reason why I should go work there and prove that groundless rumors false", Nadia spoke glancing at Emily whose head was still lowered?
Emily's lips quivered as she sensed Nadia's gaze on her she knew it wasn't an easy mission to stop Nadia from going to the Armando mansion but she was going to put her all even if it cost her their friendship as it was the path she had chosen, masking up her emotions like she always did she rose her head and glanced at Nadia with a stoic face before speaking, "You aren't going and there is nothing you can do about it".
Nadia's mouth hung open in shock, she was sure she wasn't speaking to the Emily she knew, and from shock, it grew to anger. Who was Emily to tell her what to do she was only two years younger than Emily, but that did not give her the right to control her life.
"Who the f**k do you think you are Emily?! I don't care if we are friends or whatever you think you are but you don't have a damn right over my life, we are both mature adults, and we both respect each other's privacy and decisions but that doesn't give you the right to decide as if you are responsible for me..."
"I am indeed responsible for you Nadia, everything that I have done to date is just for you". Emily spoke looking at Nadia sorrowfully
"Ha! responsible", Nadia scoffed at Emily "If you are that responsible why cant you maintain a serious relationship or just be responsible in being single or maybe working at a responsible place".
Looking at Emily whose eyes turned glassy that she had a recount of what she said earlier. Typical Nadia she was just like Emily, they blurted out anything going on in their head when they get angry not caring about the consequences or aftermath of their words. Rubbing her nose bridge, she looked at Emily whose appearance seems to have aged, she felt sorry as those were her sore spot which she seem to have poked with her words.
"Emily I am sorry I never meant to hurt you, all I said was just in a fit of anger " Nadia apologized as she tried to hold Emily's hands that were squeezing the blanket tightly.
"Are you done rubbing salt in my wounds, now if you may please leave my room", Emily spoke with a shaky voice while cleaning her tear-filled eyes with the back of her palm.
"But, Emi I am sorry I-",
"Just get out Nadia!. I don't want to see you near me, I don't want to see your face". Emily shouted making her scream reverberate inside the entire room.
"Just fine Emily, but don't make me do what I will regret" Nadia spoke as she left the room banging the door loudly behind her.
After a few minutes of sobbing loudly on the bed, Emily stood up and made her way to her dressing table before picking up her cellphone. She glanced at the door which Nadia banged loudly before calling an unknown number.
"I am sorry Nadia but it's all for your own good" she spoke before the other line answered her call.
