Who is this? she says. Hi?
I hear the buzz of a voice on the line, yet can't tell in case it's male or female.
Celia says, What do you mean, Who am I? You called me. At three AM.
I mouth at her, Who right?
She shrugs and mouths, Some lady.
The voice hums once more.
Gracious, I see. Indeed, my name is Celia Mulenga. No, I'm not with a paper. Actually no, not TV, by the same token. Apologies, who am I conversing with? Indeed, I just revealed to you my name, for what reason wouldn't you be able to disclose to me yours?
I'm thinking, Who is this weirdo? For what reason is Celia being so respectful?
Similarly, as I understand and go after the beneficiary, she says, Okay, goodnight, and hangs up.
I think it was your mum, she says.
What did she say?
She needed to know what my identity
