Antoinette: Why is there any problem?? (Surprises draw on her face)

Ruth: Ooooh noooo why do you say so??

Antoinette: I'm just wondering why you didn't go to work and you don't seem I'll too.

Ruth: Oh yeah I'm not sick. I just want to stay back and have some time with my little angel. He needs me around him this time. (She smiles)

Antoinette: Oh really...

Ruth: Yeah....

Antoinette: But I'm around. (Surprises show on her face) Why is it because of the incident that happened? Is that you don't want him around me anymore?? (She sadly asks)

Ruth: Hey Antoinette!!! What's wrong?? Why would you talk like that?? It's far from that my sister. I just want to be with you guys for today. Why are you saying this??

Antoinette: Please I'm sorry if I offended you in my words. I'm sorry I meant no harm. I was just thinking aloud.

Ruth: its okay my sister. It's nothing to worry about. Remember we are still friends. (They all smile) There's something I want you to do for me.

Antoinette: Tell me I'll do anything for you. (She smiles)

Ruth: Eeeerm please I would want you to help me get some foodstuffs from the market so we can prepare lunch later in the day for Wisdom. I want to surprise him.

Antoinette: Okay then let me get inside and prepare. (She enters her room.)
