"Ooh, just get out Sophia, and I also don't have time for these jokes, sister. Just leave us with your son for us to enjoy our food please." [Miss Anna sighs]
"Oh, whatever, Anna." [Sophia smiles and continues immediately]
"Just leave us with your king or whatever you call him, Sophia." [Miss Anna continues immediately]
"Oh, shut up, Anna. Hey darling, please come with me and forget your mother and her talking about us. She's jealous already. Let's go please."
"Hey, will you shut up, and leave us alone. Can't you see we are eating, Sophia? Hey, just go."
"Um, this reminds me, Miss Sophia, when are you coming to visit me at my house, please?" [Ava said it immediately]
"Uh, my dear girl. This is really too fast invitation from you, my love. So why do we talk about this later after here so that we can really plan this, please...." [Miss Sophia smiles at Ava]
[Lefah stands up and left them to wait for Miss Sophia on the living room sofa]
"Um, I will be waiting for you there, Sophia." [Lefah continues immediately and left them]
"Okay, my love, see you later after Ava, please..." [Miss Sophia smiles at Lefah]
"Okay, Sophia." [Lefah continues immediately]
Ava smiles and said, "But we can plan it now and see when you will come and visit me, and I'm ready, so let's talk please, Sophia."
Mrs. Vivian smiles at them and said, "Hey, Ava, please let Miss Sophia be. She gets a lot to do at work, and she can't stop all that, my dear. And besides, you are too old to make such a request please...."
"Hey, don't worry Mrs. Vivi, and please allow my little girl to talk to me. I got this." [Miss Sophia smiles back at Mrs. Vivian]
"Ooh, then I'm really sorry for trying to save your ass, the mother and her daughter's chat and I think I should mind my business." [Mrs. Vivian smiles at them]
[Both laughs]
"Hey, young lady, look at me, Ava. Hey, don't mind your mama, okay?"
"Okay, Sophia." [Ava smiles]
"Hey, I want to go and see that young man sitting over there. He's waiting for me please. It has been a long time since I have seen him and I really miss him a lot, so please, let's chat later. Okay?"
"Okay, Miss Sophia. Bye, for now." [Ava smiles]
Miss Sophia runs back to Lefah when he was waiting for her on the living room sofa watching TV in the living room.
Miss Sophia called Lefah from the back, "Hey, Darling."
[Lefah responds immediately to Miss Sophia, and he thought that was Miss Anna, his mother, calling him by then] "Hey, my love, what's up?" [Lefah continues immediately]
"I am doing great, and sorry for keeping you waiting, my big boy." [Miss Sophia smiles]
Lefah smiles immediately, he got to know it was Miss Sophia who called him "Darling" from the back, but Lefah thought it was his mother, Miss Anna. That's why Lefah responds by saying "my love."
Lefah smiles at Miss Sophia and said, "Hey, I'm sorry, I thought that was Miss Anna. I mean my mom. The voice really looks familiar to my hearing...."
[Miss Sophia smiles back at Lefah and sit beside him on the living room sofa]
"Hey, sorry for what, darling? That's OK, and I am more than a mother to you and the fact that you are just my best friend's son doesn't mean you are not my son. Your mother and I are more than sisters. Yeah, my dear Anna is more than a sister to me. I will say, your mother is my sister from a different parent...." [Miss Sophia smiles at Lefah]
"Oh, wow, so for how long have you been friends with my mom, Sophia?" [Lefah smiles back at her]
"You can count the years back to our high school days in the 90s, but you know, your mother and I became very close friends in college. In high school, my friendship with your mother was just like, "Hi, hi." Not like best friends till we met again in college, and we became very close friends, just like sisters living in the same parent's house. Because your mother was my roommate back in college."
"Wow, that's a long way, Sophia. "
"Mm-hmm. Uh, yeah, but I traveled outside the country years after college. Hmm, you know, the last time I talked to my best friend was the day she called me on the phone, and she was like "Hey lady, don't you know I'm getting marriage tomorrow? ---and you are still not home yet. Hey, I can't wait to see you here, Sophia."
"You know, I was already out of the country, and I never wanted to come back because I was going through a lot and I wanted to run away from it, my dear...." [Miss Sophia sighs]
"So, Anna got furious when I told her that I was out of the country, and I won't be able to come back home now. And all because that was just a day before I traveled, and Anna also called me that it was her wedding day. So, I couldn't attend my best friend's wedding day. Hmm, because Anna was really angry and upset with me. I called her for years, but she never wanted to listen to me, even to explain my problem to her..."
"So, I sent Anna messages and wished her a happy marriage and more joy in her wedding journey. I don't know if it's today your mother is going to reply to my messages. And I don't really know, my love. Because I waited for years for Anna's reply, but Anna never showed up...."
[Lefah sighs] "Hey, don't you think what you did hurt her a lot?"
"Yeah, I definitely know it will surely hurt my sister, but at least, Anna should listen to my voice just for once, but she never answered my calls."
"Hmm, that's fine, Sophia. Hey, so do you really know my real dad?" [Lefah sighs]
"Um, yeah, you know, I was still trying to reach my sister just to talk to her. So, I called one day, and a man picked up the phone, and he said he was the husband. So, I talked to him on the phone, and he told me that his name was Mr. Lucas. Yeah, only Lucas, he told me it was his name. We chatted more on the phone that day because I was in love with his kind of swagger lifestyle and it influence...."
Mr. Lucas was a nice person to chat with. You know me and my jokes. We had fun on the phone, which made me like Mr. Lucas. For the first time, I talked to him on the phone."
