“Hello,” I turn to see, it’s her! She stands close to me. “It has been a while!” she speaks with invisible curiosity. Looking at my girlfriend. “Certainly… How are you?”

“Fine” “Jackie, my friend from church. Rita, my girlfriend.”

Jackie stares with suspicion, “Nice to meet you. How are you?” She greets with a lighter mood. “I am fine. I just came to your table to greet you. I will leave you two to enjoy your evening.”

“When did you meet her? she asks me, eyes focused on Rita as she departs from our presence.

“A month back. I had gone with my mum to church.” “How did the friendship begin? ” She invited me to join a prayer unit,” “Did you?” She inquires. “No, I don’t have time to do a lot.” “What did she say?” “That I was welcome if I ever wish to join.”

“Finally!” As she stares at the server who skillfully brings our order.
