"Hello this is Smart,live a massage,she is busy right now?
The caller was shocked at the other end hearing a baby voice at the end.
Grace steard at Angel as both,were surprised at the boldness of Smart.
Angel,was the first to come out of her shock,she quickly tried to get the phone back from Smart who took it away,from her reach.
"you will eat,I will take the calls for you".

Sam tap her,"mum if you want your phone back you have to feed yourself,you are getting tinner by the day,so from now on you have to listen to us, understand.". Sam said.
Grace, laughed at Angel as, Angel try to get help from Grace,shake her head,so she gave up and ate; Smart put the phone on silent as,they all eat dinner and gist happily.
Because of the phone being on silent, Angel was able to forget about work and enjoy dinner with everyone, after dinner,the kids help Grace clear the table, while Angel do the dishes,all where busy gisting why doing their work.
When Angel wanted to go up stairs,she met Grace and the kids watching a movie,she decided to join them, unaware of the number of calls on her phone.
After the movie,the kids slept off,so Grace and Angel have to carry them to their room.
When Angel close the door,she went to her room shower and change to her night gown; she went down stairs,open the door as she sat on the bench at the garden,she smiled feeling the refreshing air on her skin.
"Summer is sure good in Nigeria,the weather herr sut me just fine".
Grace said as she walked to where angel is seating,and sat besides her.
Angel smile,I thought you are already asleep?".
she asked Grace, racing her brew up.
"win". Grace asked, showing her a bottle of wine.
"Hm".
"I just wanted us to have a good night,you know coming to a new place,with our old habits". smile; " do u care.."
Angel smile. " ofcause,why not I will really need that,thanks''.
Grace pure a glass for herself and Angela,both drank after a toast.
Grace:to friendship and to new beginning, smiling.
Angel: rasing her cup,to more money,and happiness.
Both laughing...
"Well for me,to finding,true love again".
Angel, posed as a sharp light appears in her eyes,her pupils dilated,and as if a sharp knife was inserted in her heart,she almost choked on her win,she held her chest tired as the pain invented the deepest part of her heart.
Her eyes became deem,the light became blurry to her as a few memories flash through her mind,a tear roll down her eyes.
Grace:look at Angel,"are u okay? She asked concerned about her friend sudden change of mood.
"Did I say something wrong, panicking' am so sorry dear".
Angel: clean the tear. " it ok am fine,let enjoy the night, something just got into my eye and I think, eating after a long time is affecting my stomach,she lied to Grace,who smile at her.
" that's why I always tell you to always eat on time and always" she reprimanded softly.
Both enjoyed the night 😊,with good win and the beautiful shiny moon on the dark sky.
"Grace,I think tomorrow is going to be a new beginning". Angel said, looking at the stars.
