A lawyer visited to claim his subsidy few days ago after two months of playing the hide and seek. He handed a 500 bill to me silently. My tongue slipped without malice intention. I conveyed to my superior that it was for something to eat that afternoon.
Her unripe smile made me anxious. The money she said represents fees, goes to the coffers of a civic organization where these professionals belong. I never bothered to ask her anymore.The lawyer claimed his receipt from our technical people.They handle such things. He left the office just minutes thereafter.
The main door closed. The tranquil environment inside was ignited with a giggle. It spread like virus. Everybody inside burst with laughters. We got a taste of the best medicine.We hardly get our air passages normal.We get teary-eyed. I just learned from them that our visitor left his change for us. The fee costs lesser than what he gave. More so,it surprised them because he never did it before. Unlike any other on his shoes.
My unmalicious welcome in an unholy hour could have triggered him to do so. Getting afraid to get embarrassed.
The afternoon gesture turned into a big laugh then into a big feast for our stomachs.
