"Take care of yourself, okay" Asher spoke as he softly caress Roxana cheek.
"Hmmm" Roxana hummed.
"I'll be back tonight before you meet your mother."
"Hmmm"
Honestly, he really doesn't want to be separate from her for even a minutes, however some certain things are way out of his control that he couldn't ignore.
"Do you still remember what I told you last night?" he further asked her.
"Hmmm"

Meanwhile, Roxana was hesitating to move, as she doesn't want him to go, yet couldn't asks him to not go. Since, she does not want him to think that she's too clingy that she couldn't even be away from him for a day.

However, her steps abruptly halted as she stare at the person across her in shocked.
"A-aunt."
She stammered, as she realised her aunt might have seen them.
Elizabeth gazed at her niece who was sitting at the couch in silence.

"Who is he?" Elizabeth abruptly cut her.
"Well... he.... he is my boyfriend." Roxana eventually told her the truth.
Initially, she wanted to introduce them in person, since her aunt is the only elder in her family beside her mother.
"Why are you hesitating to tell me? I would not stop you from being in a relationship."
Roxana tried to speak when her aunt raised her index finger and stated, "But first, I should meet him. So I could be sure whether he's really suitable for you or not."
"Second, bring him here to meet me this weekend." She added.
"But-"

Roxana sighed in amusement and asked her, "Are you done?"
Elizabeth quietly nodded feeling contented with her suggestions.
"First of all, I initially wanted to introduce him to you in person as my boyfriend, but whatever since you already knows."
"Second, he'll be here tonight."
"Third," Roxana paused and then sheepishly smile at her aunt, "I'm not certain about this."

"You said he'll be here tonight, right? sure let's meet him face to face." She added.
Roxana looked at her aunt in astonishment, she thought her might be angry about her relationship
