Mai paced back and forth in her room, she was restless and curious about what her father and Aaron were talking about. Aunt Puspa and her mother were also there, fortunately, her uncle didn't come because they were attending a community meeting at the house of Mr. RT. This is the same as Aaron being beaten by them. Meanwhile, she had to stay in the room with Karina.
"Calm down Mai, they're just talking. They won't do anything to your boyfriend anyway." Karina told her to calm down.
How can she calm down? She had panicked that her father and Esteban were going to beat Aaron in the yard but luckily not because Aunt Puspa stopped him. Now they were all talking in the living room, her boyfriend alone facing her whole family. Unfair.
