The Call

When Mama-Tina was thru cooking. She remembered the phone the handsome young man whom had visited her at the market had given to her to gave to Tina, And she tried remembering the young man's name but she forgot if she even asked him of his name.

Coming out to meet Tina seated on the bench, Mama-Tina brought out the phone and gave it to Tina as it was a brand new Android phone, and Tina was surprised at first as she collected the package nylon from her mother and asked, "What's in it mom?."

"It a mobile phone gift from a young man at the market today. He told me to gave it to you. You remember that young man whom was asking me the other day, if am truly your mother that was now talking to you?," Mama-Tina asked and Tina replied, "Yes mom, I remembered him, Chris. So he truly bought this phone. I thought he was joking."

"Well he's not. I collected his number from him on my phone. For you to call and thank him very well. Where's my phone self?," Mama-Tina stood up and started searching for her small phone, to check for where she had saved Chris number, And Tina stared at the big beautiful Android phone in her hand, and she really admired it.

Tina had always wanted to bought a new phone but she didn't had any money too. And while admiring the phone, the phone rang out in her hand surprising hef and she stared to the phone screen, checking how she would picked up the call since it was a touch screen phone.

Tina remembered how she had seen her seamstress at her tailoring workshop normally answered her calls, sliding it sideway to pickup the call, So she tried the same movement, seeing the signal showing how to slided it to the right, and she did while the call connected.

"Hello," Tina spoked nervously to the caller and Chris asked her, "Hi, How you doing?."

"Am fine, Who am I speaking with?," Tina asked, still feeling the joy of owning a new phone and Chris replied,

"Who else, is me Chris. Am happy your mom actually delivered the phone to you, How's you doing, do you like the phone?."

Tina replied excitedly,

"Yes. Is beautiful, I like it, thank you very much. I really appreciate."

"You're welcome. Your mom told me, you now learning tailoring, how was your day today at work?, Hope not stressful?," Chris questioned and Tina replied, "No. Is fine, am not stressed, thank you so much for your care."

"Is okay, I will be calling you to check up on you. If you need anything or anyone to talk to, you can also feel free to call me back anytime you feel like, just give me a call okay. Take good care of yourself," Chris spoked and Tina replied nervously, "Okay, bye you too."

Mama-Tina came out and saw Tina answering the call which finally ended, and she smiled staring to Tina and asked, "Was he the one calling you already?. I was even searching for my phone, where I had saved his number on my small phone. What did he said to you?."

Mama-Tina sat down back beside Tina on the bench, and Tina replied, "Nothing much mom. I already thanked him and he was asking how am doing and to know if you gave me the phone, that's all."

"Hmph. Okay, but that young man seems like a nice person to me. You should try being friends with him, if he want to be your friend okay" Mama-Tina advised and Tina nodded.

"Okay mom. Have heard but he's not asking me of anything though" Tina said and Mama-Tina smiled.

"I know. Just that most men will always be men and want something in return. He might not ask you now for anything, but surely he want something from you, even if is just you being his friend, Or is that not something too?," Mama-Tina asked and Tina laughed out as she replied,

"It is mom. But other than that, I don't have anything to give to him in return, and I don't even want to have any male friend, but I will consider being friends with him, since you already like him."

"It okay my daughter. Just be nice to him that all am saying, come let's go inside and eat," Mama-Tina stood up first and carried Godsent away from the floor, while they all went inside
