Chương 23: “NOT A GOOD COMBINATION”

THE next day, Sunday according to Daniel is the schedule of his sister Danica returning home from Cebu. So the young man immediately asked her parents for permission, to allow her to eat dinner at their house. Her mother and father agreed and that made Ara secretly grateful.

"Is Daniel courting you, Ara?" her mother asked her that day while she was busy helping her with the lunch they were going to prepare.

Sudden nervousness enveloped her chest because of that question. It is the same reason why she found herself gazing at the beautiful face of her mother.

"I'm asking you, Ara, sweetheart, is Daniel courting you?" Susan once again asked which cut into her deep thought.

"Mama?" was all she gets to say.

"Is it difficult to answer my question?" her mother again as she continued to peel the carrot to be added to its Chicken Afritada.

Ara shook her head consecutively and then opened her mouth to speak. "No," she said.
