Reuben grunted for not getting the lack of attention and announced in a grumpy way, "I want to plant a surprise engagement party for Ica.."
The room fell in pin drop silence that only the breathing of people could be hard. Everyone was looking at Reuben with a mortified expression..
They didn't know if Reuben was just diverting their focus or he really intended to do so which he had just mentioned to them..
Everyone felt like a super cyclone blew over their heads as they still couldn't gulp down the words Reuben had muttered in a straight line.
Without being able to hold their grips over their emotions anymore, both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Lopez shouted at the same time, "What??"
As the earth-shivering scream of the mothers erupted in the big living room, everyone came out of their respective trances and gaped at Reuben with their mouth wide opened...
"You are seriously serious, right?" Mr. Smith asked.
