"Hello, mama?" I asked. At first, she did not reply. "Hello, Mama? This is me, Michelle." I repeated.
Finally recognizing my voice, she spoke, "Michelle? I have been trying to call you, but your phone just kept on ringing, and then suddenly I can't reach you. I was getting worried. Where are you and what's going on?"
"Ah… I'm with a friend now and my phone ran out of battery earlier."
"I see…"
"Uh… Ma, I can't seem to find Mr. Matt and we've been looking for him for a while now."
"Yes, that's why I have been trying to call you. About an hour and a half ago, I asked Matt to pick up the shampoo and conditioner I reserved from the salon we often visit as it's near your university. Now, he called me to say that the car got a flat tire, so it would take a while before he can get back to fetch you."
"Oh… ok… then I will just wait for him to get back."
"I can send Dan to fetch you instead."
