Call

On his way home, he stopped the car and dialed his wife’s number. He heard the ringtone going on like “I can be your hero baby! I can kiss away the pain”. Gale sang the song along until he heard “Hello!” from the other side. He gave a halt to his singing and greeted back as well.

Coming In A While

Gale, after greeting, informed his wife that he was on the way and was going to come in a while. His wife gave a list of household items that he needed to bring along. He typed those items in a message and headed towards the supermarket to buy the items.

The Supermarket

While he was busy fetching items, his phone beeped and he could not resist checking it. He received a request from a passenger for an Uber ride. He thought of not receiving it first but, he had to take it as the fare decided was quite decent hence, he accepted.

Unusual

As soon as he managed to dial the number of his wife, his phone again beeped. To his dismay, he did not get any message from the person that he wanted to see he received something unusual.

 Perplexed

On seeing those letters of the alphabet arranged in an ordered way, Gale almost lost his decision making power. He re-read the text again and confirmed whether the sentence he was reading was real or not. He could not react instantly, rather took a deep breath and typed a “yes” as an answer.

Up to Something?

The typed message was still not clear in his head but, he typed a yes as a response. Was Gale up to something? Was he cheating on his lady? Maybe he was not happy with his married life. But, he loved his family then why was he reacting that way?
