"Tomorrow, I will stay long at shop"

"Why?" Her husband asked.

"We want to make cake for a politician for her daughter's wedding"

"Okay, but why don't you leave it for your workers to do it" he suggested.

"If I don't stay with them, they will not do it very well just do nonsense"

"And you are the one that cause it?"

"How? I don't get you?" Mr Olotun asked.

"It's you that sent him out of this country"

"I just sent him there to study not to be living there now" said with lower voice.

"You sent him there when he just finished his primary school at the age of eleven years, he didn't has the parent's affection"

"That one don't cause him not to come back home, this is his father's land now"

"We just have to take it easy with him, because a place that someone have been living for more than eleven years don't easy to change or to leave"
