One cheerful afternoon, I caught these guys having a serious conversation. They seemed to deliberately stay away from the crowd so that no one would hear what they were discussing. But not with me! Because I was a spy who deliberately followed them.
I listened to their conversation carefully to determine whether it was a political matter, whether they said anything that led to subversive action, or whether they were gossiping about the government or criticizing their policies, which they felt were not in favor of citizens. If they are caught talking about this, they will be muzzled under the state security law.
But there's nothing dangerous. What is heard is just trivial chatter, which is very far from political issues. To be precise, they are gossips.
But still, occasionally, the direction of their conversation drifted towards local officials who were having affairs with their secretaries or their wives, who were also having affairs with their drivers or personal aides.
Even though they were far from the crowd, they were occasionally seen whispering. What's that about? Damn! It was just missed.
I noticed one of them laughing so hard that his position was upside down. That must be ridiculous. I laughed along, even though I had no idea what it was.
Even though I was just observing those gossipers, I didn't feel like my time was wasted at all. For me, it is entertainment to relieve the feeling of boredom that I am suffering from.
This is another entry I submitted for the daily #monomad challenge.
