The news of Benjamin and Adeola's relationship spread quickly throughout the village, and it was not long before Oliver heard about it. He was not pleased. He had known Benjamin since they were children, and he had always thought of him as a brother. He could not understand why Benjamin would choose to be with someone who was not of their people.
Oliver confronted Benjamin about his relationship with Adeola. He was angry and disappointed, and he made it clear that he did not approve of their union. He warned Benjamin that if he continued to pursue Adeola, he would be ostracized from the village.
Benjamin was taken aback by Oliver's reaction. He had expected his friend to be understanding and supportive, but instead he was met with disapproval and anger. He tried to explain to Oliver that he loved Adeola and that he wanted to be with her, but Oliver refused to listen. He told Benjamin that he had to choose between Adeola and the village, and that if he chose Adeola, he would no longer be welcome in the village.
Benjamin was heartbroken. He had never expected his relationship with Adeola to cause such a rift between him and his friend. He wanted to make Oliver understand, but he could see that his friend was not willing to listen.
In the end, Benjamin had to make a choice. He chose Adeola, and he left the village with her. He never saw Oliver again, but he never forgot the disapproval that his friend had shown him. He knew that Oliver had been trying to protect him, but he also knew that his friend had been wrong. Love was more powerful than any law or tradition, and he was determined to prove it.
