Meet the Parents?

"Who is he?" Rina's father asked.

"You know him, father," she said. She didn't need to mention Aron's name, as she was sure her father would know who she was talking about.

There was silence from the other side of the phone once again. Rina's father hadn't expected her to be so bold, but realized that she was serious about her relationship.

"I feel safe around him, and he's someone who was on my side even when I was in a difficult time," she continued after a while. Aron was very important to her.
