Old woman: you still there?

Me: yes. I haven't gone anywhere.

Old woman: eh? Sorry. I couldn't hear you.

The woman was standing on the other side of the window outside the house,while I was inside the house. Maybe that was why she couldn't hear me.

Me: it has started raining...

I disconnected the call and hurried to the veranda and quickly secured the laundry I put up the day before. After that,I decided to warn my neighbours ,who lives in apartment 603, about the rain.
