Mag-log inNurse Mariam knocked at the door, then she slightly opened the door.
"Sorry for the disturbance. What I want to say is right now, the President is live on the TV." Sophia after hearing that went to pick the remote on the bed and switched on the TV.
"Hello my fellow citizens, the lock down will still commence starting from next week, please let there be cooperation between the people and government to carry out the activities. And I assure you, during the lockdown some agencies will come to your various home to give out food items, gadgets, money and so on and nothing will change after the lockdown. No cause for alarm. For those that are living in the village, swamp area and so on. As I am speaking we have dispatched many of our agent to give them what ever they need. Sorry it came suddenly. We didn't expect it to fall this way. Stay safe and God bless."
That moment few nurses also came in to watch the announcement from the President. A male nurse said. "How is it possible. They can't reach all those area before lockdown." Mariam answered. "They will, because they are the only one that can move from states to states during the lockdown.”
"Don't it seem odd. Why all these things?" Sophia added. "I think our solar system is about to explode." Said the other male nurse. Everyone looked at him. "Where did you get that from? If it is about that, the President would have told us."
"I don't trust them." During the whole conversation. Joshua was standing still looking at the ground thinking with his hand on his jaw. Sophia noticed he was silence during the conversation, then she asked him. "Any problem?" Joshua looked at her and said. "Not at all. Is she around?" Joshua was talking about Sarutobi. "No." Sophia answered.
"Let get back to work!" Cried Mariam. So they left the room one by one. Sophia smiled at Joshua. "Thank you. For making me understand. Bye for now." She left with Mariam also.

Then the Chairman smiled. “The future is in good hands.”
The room was silent for a few seconds. "Whhhooooozzzzz!!!"
