“My matter, only I know❓”

Not only, the Lord knows even better.

School staff came over with a piece of drum kit.

Staff said, “The Tom is still detached.”

I said, “Screw it.”

Staff said, “No.”

I said, “Why?”

Staff said, “It takes a drum key.”

I said, “How did you screw it last time?”

Staff said, “The drummer brought the drum key himself.”

I said, “There is no drum key in school?”

Staff said, “No.”

I said, “So what to do?”

Staff said, “Ask your drummer to bring it here.”

I said, “OK.”

I called my drummer.

I said, “Hello.”

Drummer said, “Hi.”

I said, “Have you set off?”

Drummer said, “Set off?”

I said, “I want to bring here a drum key.”

Drummer said, “Bring a drum key?”

I said, “Yes. Bring a drum key here at 8 p.m.”

Drummer said, “At 8 p.m.? To where?”

I said, “Chapel, HKIIM.”

Drummer said, “Chapel, HKIIM? For what?”

I said, “Rehearsal.”

Drummer said, “Rehearsal? I don’t know.”

I said, “You don’t know? I’ve told everybody in the announcement group.”

Drummer said, “I’ve received nothing.”

I said, “Nothing? But everybody got it.”

Drummer said, “I did get nothing.”

I said, “Where are you now?”

Drummer said, “Band room.”

I said, “Can you come over now?”

Drummer said, “I can’t catch up.”

I said, “Take a taxi. I pay the fare.”

Drummer said, “I don’t deserve this offer.”

I said, “Quick, we have recording arrangement today. Today’s recording can’t go on without you.”

Drummer said, “Alright. I’m coming.”

……

Another me said, “It’s your matter, you yourself don’t know?”

I said, “What?”

Another me said, “Don’t you know that your instrumentalist hasn’t got your message in the announcement group?”

I said, “Who knows?”

Another me said, “Everybody knows, we can check who he read the message by reading ‘huh by pressing ‘Info’ key.”

I said, “I haven’t checked it yet. I assume my message is well received when I hear no question.” 

Another me said, “So the result is?”

I said, “The drummer has got nothing.”

Another me said, “So lucky you are. You somehow managed to inform the drummer in time. If not, I want to see of whom and what you’d like to make recording.”

I said, “It isn’t luck.”

Another me said, “Don’t lie.”

I said, “It isn’t luck indeed. It’s the Lord’s reminder. How I am doing, He knows from the very beginning.”
