Everyone had already taken their seats when I arrived. I took the seat on ana's right, facing Rayana. Jade is next to her on her left side.
"Are your grandparents joining us dear?" ana asked me.
"Yes ana. They would probably take a few more minutes."
"Okay. So while we are waiting, tell us about your trip son," äke said.
"Yes yes. Who else did you meet besides Fen?" ana seconded.
"I've also met Wang Shu and then my college gang in Russia. Igor also came. And Andrei, of course. He was the one who arranged the small party for us."
"Ohh. You had a party. It must have been fun. It has been a long time since you got together."
"Yes ana. Well, except for an awkward moment with Katerina and Alexie. They were not on good terms."
Ana shook her head.
