After Charlos and Rissa made love, Charlos drove her to the apartment. He had to go to dinner with the Kawijayan family. He went home first to take a shower and change clothes. His mother had been waiting for him ever since.
"Are you ready?" his mother asked, approaching him.
"Yes, I'm ready."
"All right. Then we shall go now."
Mr. Yusuf is driving. Charlos was lazy to bring the car. He and his mother sat in the back seat.
"Mom, why do you insist on setting me up with Gladys?"
