Father-in-law’s letter

It was cold with patches of clouds. I woke up early around 5am and put on my jersey to clean the compound while listening to some local music on my rising made radio. My wife left inside breast feed a baby. After feeding up a baby, she got out and collecting firewood to fetch fire for boiling water to take a bath. “Yesterday I received a letter from your father inlaw and I did not read it to have the contents” my wife told me. “Why didn’t you go through it, may be it was emergency? I asked her. “I understood that it was addressed to as recipient, so it could be improper for me to go through it” she replied. I opened it and the main content was to ask me some money for my sister inlaw’s means of transport, who was leaving for school in Blantyre to start attending her first day in class doing professional studies. I called my father inlaw and promised to assist him late in the evening. When I knocked off, I got him at his house and provided him with back and forth transport. “Congratulation for your assistance, God bless you, because I was failing to know where I could get means of transport for your inlaw” my father inlaw said. I left for home and arrived at 6pm.
