The school administration officer sent me a text message.

Admin said, “Your booking of the rehearsal venue this Friday is rejected. It clashes with the school concert. I’m afraid you have to book another date.”

I said, “Get it. Let me ask my instrumentalists. I’ll revise my booking a little later.”

……..

Another me said, “You sounded like nothing had happened.”

I said, “How badly would you like to react?”

Another me said, “How many pieces have you got? How many instrumentalists do you have to make appointment with again?”

I said, “4 pieces and 11 instrumentalists."

Another me said, “When was the last time you managed to gather all 11 instrumentalists together?”

I said, “No.”

Another me said, “What?”

I said, “Never before have I managed to do so. This is the first time.”

Another me said, “It is the first time after a year of practice that you’ve managed to gather 11 instrumentalists altogether. But you aren’t showing up.”

I said, “I don’t intend it. I told them two days before the rehearsal had been cancelled.”

Another me said, “How calm you sound! You’ve got some tricks to gather all of them together, haven’t you?”

I said, “Nope.”

Another me said, “Nope? Who will show up then?”

Admin said, “It’s available for booking from next Monday to Thursday, from 28 to 31 of August.

I said, “Thank you.”

Another me said, “So now, on which day are there the most number of people coming?”

I said, “Monday.”

I said, “2 from group 1, 2 from group 2, 1 from group 1.”

……

Another me said, “Wow, you’ve got all of them. What have you done?”

I said, “Keep asking at the expenses of my face and money.

Another me said, “Who are you? Do you matter? So what is your asking? They didn’t have to respond to you, did they?”

I said, “No, they didn’t have to.”

Another me said, “Relieved to hear that. But why did all 11 of them agree to your requests?”

I said, “Because the Lord agrees. Who am I?”
