LARA'S FAITH (EPISODE 18)

 

It's been a month since Tony left, and he'll be returning soon, Lara grinned absently at herself.

She exclaimed to the empty room, "I can't wait!" She made the decision to call him...

“How are you doing, Baby?” Tony's voice could be heard on the other end of the line.

“Good morning to you,”

“How are you doing this morning? “Did you get a good night's sleep?” Tony had enquired.

“I'm not doing so well, are you?” As she talked, she made a face.

He chuckled and said, "Same here, missing ya a lot."

“Are you planning on returning this weekend?”

“No, the doctor advised me to wait another two weeks.” Tony clarified.

She moaned, “Oooh.”

“Hey, hello, hey!” .  Two weeks is the same as two days, so there's no need for that, okay? I'll be back as soon as possible. I have a lot of things I want to show you!” He said in a soothing tone.

“A lot of things?” Like?” She laughed, and their chat went on and on until the doorbell rang.

“Hey, wait on a second! I'll give you a call later.” Before hanging up, Lara said something.

Deji was knocking on the door.

“ah! Welcome, my friend!” Ore mi atata, ore mi atata, ore mi atata, ore mi atata, Deji was hugged by her.

“This one, you look really good, ehn?” Deji teased.

“You're free to say it again.” As she served her pal, Lara chuckled.

“Can you tell me when the hubby will be back?” Deji inquired softly.

Deji had never referred to Tony as "the hubby" before, which surprised Lara.

She stated, "Errrm, I just phoned him on the phone, and he said next two weeks..."

“Within the next two weeks!” Deji echoed after her, her expression indicating that she was pleased with the knowledge.

“Yea!” Lara had an odd sensation; she knew Deji well, and the expression on her face wasn't for nothing.

“Excuse me!”   Deji said as she dialed a phone number.

She said, "Hello, Lady?"

“The client is expected to arrive in town in the next fourteen days, so business should be good!” She flashed a wicked grin.

“All right, bye, please get everything ready.” She hung up the phone.

“Who is the client?” “How about the next fourteen days?” Lara inquired softly.

“Yeah, it's simply a business.” Deji averted her gaze.

“Business? “What kind are you?”

“Please, Lara!”   “I didn't come here for an interview, na!”  She burst out laughing.

Lara groaned and said, "OK." For a long time, Deji has been acting abnormally. She hopes there will be no problems.

“So, lady, tell me! What's up with Tony? “How is he doing?” Deji gave her a playful shove.

Lara chuckled, and she felt a little more at ease.
