" are you done with the supagetti Swati?" " yes mother,I made the the you told me to just the way brother will like it" " oh that's good then if you're done here I will need you downstairs" " yes mother I will be with you shortly" she said and continue washing the dishes" Shane, put it in the microwave just to be sure you don't make a mistake in adding more chilli to the food" she shouted " oh good grief okay am not a child any more,so stop lecturing me on what to do, I think it's better if I join aunt downstairs where she will need me too" she said and was about to drop the spoon when swati got hold of her hand and apologize so she could continue with the cooking. you're annoying you know that" " tell me about it "

"do you think the dinner tonight is about brother picking a wife from our tribe" " shush now you are getting loud, well I hope not okay " " why not " " course brother is in love with my favorite star, the.. Abigail Reyes, I want her in the family okay " " but swati even if I'd love that too you know if worse comes to worse, we won't be able to do anything about the damage it will course,so let's not hope okay " " don't worry shane, I will figure out a way out of this okay" " how do you plan on doing that " " by making the house unbearable for her,then she has no choice but to move away" Shane smiled in disbelief with her sister's mindset ' this girl is dangerous ' she thought looking at her, she is just a blooming teenager who is in her fourteenth year now" anyway swati in the end brother has the utmost right to be with who he wants to okay " " okay,but I still wants Abigail okay "

" you talk too much for a child go back to work " she said and Shane carried a tray of supagetti covered plate and stormed out to set the tables. " geeze what's up with her "

is everything in order " " yes Zach dear everything is going well" just then a car drove into the yard and a man and a woman came out, Andrew and Abigail came forward to greet his parents. " mother, father" he walked forward took their hands and place them on his forehead as a sign of respect to their culture " live long my son " " mother and father meet Abigail Reyes my fiancee" he said taking her hands and both parents looked at each other in confusion as they size her up and down course she's not wearing decent clothes in their opinions " hello" she waved shyly " hehhem come in please" said father kanah and all went inside.
