'More than a family, I just met only one person from my biological family side. Then what about my other family members? Are they as friendly as this grandmother or… If I ask about them, will this grandma think that I am interested in going with her?' Dina wondered while clenching her fist.
As the silence was too much to take in, Millie broke the stillness. The awkwardness had surrounded the room and she coughed before saying,
"Let us all have some cake for dessert," Millie suggested.
"Sure! Sure! Yes, yes," Kara said and rushed towards the kitchen to get the cake.
She ran like she was escaping from a ferocious animal that was chasing her. Dina followed behind her and went inside the kitchen.
"Mom..." She stood behind Kara and looked at her shaky hands.
"I will get the plates and spoons. Can you get the cake?" Dina put the cake on her mother's hand turned around.
