Chapter 30 XXX

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.
