"Margret, you was a God sent, I was so scared when I left Brixton, but then you took it upon yourself to give me the massage, and when you left Maria continued. Now the fear has gone and so is the limp."
When Margret hold Diandra hand, "Dee something has change since I was here in April, what is it you can tell us?"
"Nothing has change. Margret, so please don't worry."
"Dee, there is no need to be afraid we are your sisters, and you can confide in us about anything. I hope you know your secret will be safe with us."
When Natalia place her hand on Diandra shoulder saying, "So tell me, how was the job at Brixton?"
"It was really amazing, the only sad thing was when my foot got damage I was unable to help with the finishing touches.
I have some pictures in my phone I could show you later this evening, if thing finish early?."
"Dee, you look very tired already so do you think there will be enough strength left in you after the get together?"
Diandra takes out her phone from her pocket, "Look here."
Flipping through the pictures, "Wow Dee, that is a grand house and it look magnificent." Natalia respond as she thought, 'Who is this friend that Dee have never spoken about?'
"It is, I must say myself."
"Dee, that friend must be really loaded?"
"I supposed so, when his parents died, they left him a sizable inheritance and business."
"Dee, the way you speaks about him, do you like him?"
"He is a very nice person now, but a few years back he was a push over and full of himself. Now he is mature and more responsible."
"Dee, the way you speak about him, is he a young person?"
"He is about thirty-three years and very handsome if I may say so."
"Dee, what is the deal between the two of you, do you have feelings for him?"
"Natalia there is no deal between us, he is a married man, and he and his wife is separated, so I just help him out in the time of his need, that's all oh and he did pay well for the two weeks work."
"Okay enough of that now, let us see this dress you detest so much."
When Natalia hold up the dress Margret said, "Dee this dress is so lovely."
"I know, but can I see the dresses you brought for me? Then I will make my choice which I will be wearing, well if it fits me I mean?"
"Let me get it," Margret said as she leaves the room.
"Dee, why don't you try it on for me?"
"Look the dress is very lovely Natalia, but I don't like it, and whatever you say will not change what I think."
Turning her back towards Natalia, Diandra thought, 'If I wears the dress now, Margret and Natalia will know immediately that I am pregnant, it is so revealing and only Sam and Maria know.
I should have brought the dress I wore for the story telling competition, that would have concealed my pregnancy.
Why on earth I didn't think about that before? Now if I return to get it, I will be too tired to return on time and to get dress. I don't want to offend Sam or disappoint him in any ways.'
When Margret return with the dress it was just as beautiful as the dress I bought, but it will also reveal my pregnancy. I cannot wear it though matter what they may think or say I have to convince them I don't like it.'
Using the high slit and the thin strap to her advantage Diandra said, "What is that Margret, do you expect me to wear that abominable outfit in front of all Sam loyal friends?
When he sees me in that, he will become angry, I am sorry but that won't do?"
"Diandra nothing is wrong with the dress, and I got a beautiful tights to conceal your leg, so everyone will think it a part of the gown, so please try it on then you will make your final decision?"
'Dear God, what should I do, I really need your help, this is becoming so frustrating by the minute."
"Dee, please listen to me, there is no need to worry." Margret coaxed her.
"I am not worried, neither am I desperate, it is just that it will hold me fitted and I ready don't like clothes clinging on to me, as you said earlier, I have put on some weight and that is what have me worried?"
"Dee, you are beautiful and someone have to know you to realized that you gain a little weight?" Margret urges her, "But it is your choice, I cannot force you to wear something that will make you uncomfortable."
"Look, you might think I am ungrateful and unthankful but I am not, in fact I must thank you for thinking about me and taking all the trouble for getting me these dresses. It is beautiful but it is not me, so I will pass, if you don't mind."
"As I said it is your choice."
Sitting in her robe seeing the time was six fifteen. "Oh Lord next fifteen minutes the program will begin and I haven't decided what to wear as yet."
Taking a deep breath, "Lord I need you to cover me so that my pregnancy will be concealed. You know how people are ignorant and are very judgmental.
Lord they won't understand that I am having this baby for my husband. How do I explain it without acknowledging that I have not sin.
Lord please shield and cover me, I did not planned to disappoint anyone especially Sam and Maria. I know Sam is not saying anything but I know they are slightly disappointed in me, but what can I do?"
Holding the dress up, "I have no choice, Sam is expecting me to be at his side, if only this could be transforming into a beautiful gown, so people won't look at the change of my body but the beauty of the gown."
