While shopping Aunt Maria asks me something unexpected that throws me off guard.
"So, what is going on between my nephew and you?" she asks me, smiling sheepishly.
"I don t understand what you mean, Aunt Maria," I reply totally confused as to why she would ask that.
"Really? Because if I didn t know better, I would say you guys are dating."
"Oh My! Why would you say such a thing, Aunt Maria," I say feeling shy and confused as to what made her think that. But maybe she thinks that because of how close Ismail and I are.
"Because of the way you treat each other."
"And how do we treat each other?" I wonder if she has another reason and it s not because Ismail and I are close.
