Hushed Echoes

After a little to taunt her negligence, she glowingly resumed her task until she decisively lodged the remaining pair of trousers into the bag and sipped it.

” Uhm… You wasted too much time in the bathroom or were you trying to wash off the whole of this town off your body? “She teased him.

“You know that the sun des not shine now it is rather too early, it will surely shine later in the day, but before you wait for that time, you better get dressed so that you can catch up with the bus, Okay?”

“Okay..” he chuckled to himself and dashed off to get himself dressed while his mother was trying to put finished touched to pair of leather sandals, which he would use to tread his path to a new life in the city of Lagos.
