Chapter Eight

My mother laughed then I shook my head before scooping rice. I put rice on my mom's plate too after that, I silently ate with my family. It was too silent that I thought this is unusual for us and maybe they really do have a problem with Makey courting me. I understand though if they still don't want us to have a relationship. It's too early for us and that they still want us to focus on our studies.

I was deep in my thoughts when Papa broke the silence that was surrounding us. "So, what is your name again?" and I felt Makey stilled when he heard my father. His voice was laced with full authority.

"My name's Mc Angelo Villadar. You can call me Makey. I'm 19 years old and a a pre-baccalaureate student." he said with confidence and I felt proud while hearing him answer my papa's question. All throughout the conversation, I was just eating while they're talking.
