Dad: I'm doing well. Sorry for what happened yesterday anyway. Hope u didn't show any sign of it when u got home?
Mina: I gave u my words. I didn't. But he was mad at me for taking the boy out without his notice. But I apologized and cautioned the boy not tell him about what happened. From now I'm gonna keep an eye on his movements.
Dad: Alright. I have your husband's Voter's 🆔 card with me. How can u trick him to look for it?
Mina: Really? What's the name on it?

Mina: I really don't know but I'll be glad if u can send me your wife's picture on whatsapp. I wanna see if I know the face.
Dad: Well, I'll do so. I'll get back to u shortly OK. Bye.
Dad calls wife.
Wife: Who was on the phone?
Dad: A friend I met on my way to the mall.
Wife: A friend, So u ignored me because u were speaking to a friend? When did u start this honey.
Dad: I'm sorry dear, I didn't know u needed me so urgent. I'm here for u. Let's talk.
Wife: OK, I'm cool. I wanna go visit my mum and dad in the village and educate them a little on the pandemic and as well give them some foodstuffs. I think I'll get some farm produce from my dad's garden so we preserve as well.
Dad: That's not a bad idea. When do u intend going?
Wife: My junior brother the soldier said he will bring me a permit to show to the security personnel on my way, so if he brings it today I'll leave the day after tomorrow.
Dad: Well, u can go if he brings it. Are u going with Tilly?
Wife: Of course granny misses her.
Dad: For that I won't allow. I think u should go and come since u will return the following day. Just prepare something and keep in the fridge for us, we will stay behind so u go and come.
Just tell ur mum I didn't allow her to come with u because of the of the pandemic.
Wife: OK, if u say so.
Dad goes through his phone and sends a pic of his wife to Mina.
Mina: Thanks Bill. I don't think I've met this face before.
Dad: OK.
Mina: Anyway my husband told me yesterday that he will be visiting his parents. He said his dad needs him urgently and he wants to take the boy along. But I refused. He hasn't said anything about that yet. But he said he will leave tomorrow.
