Rested
on a bench, Maria smiled into her smart-phone as if it were a mirror. A smile
adorned her face, a frown for split seconds as she responded to a particular
message. It was a message to her husband, Jasper.

The air seemed still in Jasspers office where they had gone to resolve the crisis. Tears frequently suspended themselves on both his women’s eyes. He had to explain, he had to admit it. He was wrong.

The television is on, a morning news bulletin. Minister Tavengwa is saying something about empowering the youth.
Mary is hugging her pillow with a remote in her hand. Consistently checking for any response from Jassper.
Before Minister Tavengwa says more, she switches off the TV.
"Hypocrites," she says as she rolls out of bed.

Mary secludes herself so that she may take Jassper’s call privately.
On the other end of the phone, Jassper breathes .
“How have you been?” He asks.
“I’m fine and you?” Mary replies.
An air of silence travels between both earpieces.They begin to speak about the baby. Is she sure?
That is the big question dangling in the conversation. It seems Jassper at this point is assuming Mary would lie about pregnancy for attention.
