They were both surprised to here Chandler say that. He was planning to watch them do all the work meanwhile he was the one who planned all this.
"What!!!?? You won't help" asked Anabelle with a confused expression on her face "I already foresaw this possibility though. Chandler has never gone to any birthday and he doesn't what all that implicates. So we gonna be the ones to take care of all the preparations" explained Layla who already knew that Chandler was a newbie in all these.
"What!!?? He hasn't attended to any birthday in his life?? Is je a kind of nerd or what?" inquired Anabelle while looking at Chandler who also looked her with a forced smile.
"He isn't a nerd Anabelle" said Layla "Chandler is just not that kind to befriend people. The reason why him and I are friends is just that we have been together since childhood and so it was more easy for us to form link with each other" explained Layla which made Anabelle nod in understanding
"But why act like that. He can have alot of friends if he wants right. He's the son of the Great Sir Hansel Zolritch and who won't like to befriend him" said Anabelle with a confused face. Layla looked at her knowing well what she was trying to talk about.
"Not everyone is like you Anabelle. Chandler is not that kind to force any one do what he likes. He is kind and gentle. Eventhough he always act so cold,he is not the person everyone thinks he is. We have been friends for along time and he always took care of me before even thinking about himself. He is not like you who always used your status to influence and do what you like" explained Layla. She was alright with all that she said about Chandler. He always let her interest pass before his and he was always there for her.
He acted too so cold but he was just so and can't be change. The reason for this was that he always never knew how to express himself and always didn't understood the feelings he and peoples had and so he didn't know which were the appropriate words to use in some moments.
Hearing this made Anabelle realise something. She understood that she was all wrong about her perspection of life. She grew in an environment where she was provided with all she needed as Chandler. She always had in head that she can have all what she wanted in life. Money was the ultimate god of this life for her and all who owned money where the rulers.
But after hearing this from Layla's mouth,she understood that she was all wrong with her theory. Chandler who was from a rich family as her never used his status to influence others or even boast about it. He cared for the person that counted for him in his own way and let her interest pass before his and this made Anabelle amazed by him.
She felt a warm feeling in her chest as she looked at Chandler. The feeling was so warm and intense that she felt as she was in the heavens. Her love for him was more and more intense by the moment and she was glad of that. She was glad that the first person she ever loved in her life was that a nice person. At this propice moment,she then understood why Layla was such in love with him and so happy beside him. She felt that this was the best thing that has ever happen in her life.
"I understand you Layla. I know i wasn't that a nice friend for you and i always treated you bad. But am trying to be the better person i was to be in the past Layla. I was an abject person in the past but now that i came across Chandler,i realised that i was all wrong. I want to be a better person and a good friend in which everyone can count on. I want to be that person that will be able to feel free to talk about his all with. I wanna be that girl my mum and dad always wanted me to be. Am sorry for all the treatment i gave you Layla and hope one day you will be able to forgive me for all that i did to you" said Anabelle with sad look on her face. Chandler listening by the side sensed alot of sincerity in her words.
Layla on the other hand just snorted and looked away from her. She didn't want to take in all that was said by Anabelle. She knows who Anabelle was and knew this was just worda said in the air. She will forgive Anabelle when she will feel that she merits to be pardonned.
Anabelle was sincere with what she just said and Chandler felt that. Infact she has never been that sincere in her whole life. True that she treated people bad and used her status to influence others. Her apology wasn't that sufficient for Layla to pardon her. Anabelle was always that type to use money and thought this life was all about money. You have money,you survive and you don't have you die. Those who didn't have money was nothing more than filthy rats in her eyes and she would step on all of them if needed.
She had a group of friend who were also from noble families but she still treated them thesame. She was the daughter of the ruler amd who will be having more influence than her family. After years and years of being in the wrong path,she finally realised her being wrong all this time. Coming across Chandler really changed her and made her have a different image of life in her head.
As if all this was planned by destiny itself. She felt rejuvenated with a different sensation that coursed in her soul. She undertood all thing now just after passing a short time with Chandler.
Maybe this was all because she felt love for him or another reason. But being by him made her understand the true meaning of a friendship. She got some advice too from Emilias her maid and this also was a reasom why she decided that she was to be a better version of herself.
Proofs that love is the ultimate weapon that can change peoples and this world to be better and more welcoming.
"Layla,i don't know what is really the matter between you guys but i have to tell you one thing. There are many things that happens in this world and also problems. Conflicts made here and there in every part of the world. Don't you think all this happens because of little problem like misunderstandings and all the like. Peoples are killed all day and we can't stop that if wr keep on hating each other because of past event that created a little misunderstanding between each other. Some friends get separated in good term and some in the opposite. But don't you think we always have our own contribution in all these matters. True she did something to you which i don't really know. It might have a capital gravity but should we hating friends for all that even after they apologized?? I think thay no Layla,we shouldn't. It is hard but that is what should be done. A friend is most important person we have after our parents. They might be naughty,possessive,arrogant,egoistic,egisantric,filthy,cold and so on but we take them as they are. Friendship is based of love and love is the strongest weapon ever in this world,so do not let it die for some small matters." explained Chandler in a so poetic tone. Layla and Anabelle had their eyes glimmering as the words flowed through them and coursed their brain who processed it more for them.
"Layla,am not trying to force you do what you don't. But as a friend,i decided it was nice that you hear these words and know what it means friendship. You are all master of your actions and decision and i wont impose you my opinion. So think twice about this and give Anabelle here a chance to show you that she can be that better person you wanted her to be" continued Chandler with a smile pasted on his face. Anabelle felt so good. This was the first time that someone stood for her and wanted her good after Emilia her maid.
Layla who listened to all that was said by Chandler could feel her heart soften at the moment towards Anabelle. She looked at the sad Anabelle who also looked at her but Layla had already taken her decision.
"It's easy for you to accept her Chandler but i just can't. After all what she made me endure,that's impossible for me to just forgive her now. She will have to merit the forgiveness" thought Layla to herself
"Yeah you are right. I have never appreciated her since and i think the merits that you shouldn't forgive her" said Layla's conscience "For the first time you are ok with me" thought Layla
Layla then snorted at Anabelle and said "I will think about it Anabelle but i can't promise you anything. I might forgive you but not now"
