WEEK 4
Well. I'm not bored anymore...
Five days ago there was a huge fight between Mekdem and Barkhado.
BARKHADO
HOW CAN YOU SAY OGADEN IS PART OF YOUR COUNTRY?!
Mekdem's reaction was cooler than I thought.
MEKDEM
The treaties signed in...
BARKHADO
Treaties signed in Europe! You care about what the invaders have to say just because they agree with you!
MEKDEM
Hahaha! You act like you know me, but you just don't!
BARKHADO
I KNOW ENOUGH!
MEKDEM
That's prejudice, right there...
At this point Clara tried to calm down Barkhado, but she didn't take it well...
CLARA
Please Barkhado, it's no use...
BARKHADO
You shut up too!
CLARA
What have I done?
BARKHADO
You Cubans, always fighting with Ethiopians!
CLARA
Really? Is it really about that..?
Clara and Barkhado didn't speak to each other for two days.
Now they are friendly again, and I was the one to make it happen!
I'm really proud of that.
Clara wanted to make peace with her right away, but Barkhado refused to talk. Little by little I approached her and slowly but surely she accepted to apologise to Clara. I believe Barkhado wanted to make things up right away, but she's a very proud person and wouldn't easily go back on what she said.
I believe my intervention was just the right excuse for her to make peace.
Anyway, I have now gained, at least partially, her trust.
One step at the time. That's the way to do it.
Soon I will be able to make my move...
