"Oh, I see. So, you never set your eyes to see my dad personally, right?"
"Yeah, we got to know each other on the phone, but I had never set my eye on him before. But your mother told me everything about him the last time she visited me at my workplace."
"Okay, that's cool Sophia."
"Hmm", but I am really sorry for everything, okay? Like I was supposed to be around when your mother needed me, but I was nowhere to be found. And I was supposed to be home when you were born, but I didn't, my love. Hey, I am really sorry for everything, my love."
"That's fine Sophia. I got this, okay?"
"Hmm, when I traveled outside the country, I thought my little sister was enjoying her marriage after the wedding and, you know, that was my wish, so I never wanted to worry since I talked to her husband, Mr. Lucas, it makes me feel happier that my sister is with a good person, so I wanted not to worry about her with my phone calls and messages. Yeah, I wanted to give her space to focus on her marriage, so I stopped calling and texting."
"Hmm" but I never knew Anna was going through a lot. Till the day we met at the Coffee shop few days ago. And Anna told me everything from the past."
"Yeah, my dad made life very difficult for my ma'am to live in, which was awful. Yeah, mommy told me everything about my dad when I was 5. From that day, I never hoped to see my dad in my life."
"Hmm" everything will be fine, trust me. You know, I was also going through a lot back in the city which I was never told before. Yeah, I didn't even tell your mother the day we met at the coffee shop. My story had a really seriously bad moment. That's why I wanted to come back home and look for my little sister, Anna."
"Hmm, I am sorry about your sad story, Sophia. "
"Hey, don't worry about my sad story, because it's only your mother who knows how crazy I am, so I directed all those men who wanted to rule my whole life to the police in uptown before I traveled back to the city."
[Lefah smiled at Sophia]
"Wow, I wonder why my mother is not just like her crazy girlfriend."
[Both Laughing]
"Hey, what's the laughter for Sophia and her son." [Miss. Anna]
"Hey pretty, will you shut up and mind your business." [Sophia responded back to Miss Anna immediately]
"Okay sorry, and I was just trying to gossip a little about your chat and the laughter." [Miss Anna]
"Mm-hmm!" [Sophia]
"Oh, I see. Is that a "mm-hmm" like you guys are going to tell us what the chat is about or a "mm-hmm" like you want me to "shut up?" [Miss Anna]
"Yeah Anna." [Sophia]
"Yeah, what Sophia?" [Miss Anna]
"Yeah, you heard me right Anna. Just shut up and mind your business lady." [Sophia]
Both Laughing
"You're such a crazy lady, and you know that?"
"Yeah, you know me already, so I hope that one isn't a question, right?"
"Hey, just leave me alone, and I'm out of this chat, Sophia."
"That will be great Anna."
"I think I shouldn't mind you because you're such a crazy lady. Please let's continue our chat again, Vivian. " Don't mind Sophia, she's the craziest friend I ever had, so I know how I will manage her. " I was even thinking Sophia would change after college, but she didn't." [Anna]
"Miss Vivian smiled at Anna and said," Yeah, I also had a male friend years back in college. My best friend was called Jack. You know, Jack was the really most difficult and crazy friend I ever had. But Jack was the best, as a caring, loving and sweet friend, but Jack died years later in his college days. Jack was tattoo-loving, so it affected his skin. The doctor's report states that Jack had skin cancer which killed him. So, I lost my best friend, Jack, in college."
"Aw, I'm sorry for your best friend Vivian. " May Jack's soul rest in peace." [Anna]
"Hey, that's fine and, besides, it has been a long time now, so I am over it. Jack died before I got married years ago, so imagine. I still remember Jack because he was a good person to me." [Vivian]
"Wow, such a good friend to Jack. And I can see how you missed Jack."
"Yeah, I do miss Jack a lot, but where am I going to meet Jack again? I never had female friends. All my friends were males, but Jack was special among them."
[Miss Anna smiled and said] "Hmm, they always say, "Good people don't stay long," and I don't know why my crazy friend called Sophia is not alive and strong."
[Miss. Vivian laughs]
"Hey, don't say that, Anna. " Why are you wishing your best friend death?" [Miss Vivian]
"Oh no Vivian and God forbid my dear. " I just love Sophia and her crazy lifestyle, but I'm just saying it please."
"Vivian smiled at Anna and said," Yeah, I understand you, Anna. That's all jokes."
"Anna called Sophia from the back and said," Hey Sophia, did you hear Vivian? Even Vivian has got to know how crazy you are. Shame on you Sophia."
"Oh whatever, Miss and Miss." Sophia responded to Anna and Vivian at the dinner table immediately and turned back to Lefah and said," Hey, let's forget them and continue our chat, my dear boy."
Lefah smiled and said," Okay Sophia and I think I like you already."
"Aw, thank you darling and I love you more than you love me, okay?"
"Okay Sophia. Hey, I forgot to ask you this question please." [Lefah]
[Ding!] [Notification sounded on Sophia's phone, but she ignored it and put the phone back in her lap and upraised her head to look at Lefah and said]
"What's your question, can you ask Lefah?"
[Sophia's Phone ringing]
