September 9, 2012 – 5pm Sunday – Upper East Side, New York
"Dear, just have fun. Your grandpa and I already arranged it, so let's not disappoint the young man, okay?" My mother told me as she did final adjustments to my dress.
Despite her having something to do with my plans tonight, I can still see some concern in her face about my feelings. That at least, gives me consolation.
Tonight, I'm having a date with Tayaw, the upstart director and singer who somehow managed to worm in to my grandpa and uncle's good favor. At the night I first met him, I thought grandpa was just kidding about setting Tayaw up with me. My assumption was proven right even more when Tayaw did not call or even text me since then, while grandpa and mom never said anything.
