My parents were the first to break the silence and my mother couldn't help but ask, "Again? Isn't this your first meeting with Altair?"
I looked at my mother and replied, "It's complicated. I am not even sure if I can talk about it. Talk to Altair about it. He'll tell you if he feels like it."
My mother looked at Altair and like a tamed kitten, his tone of voice changed and replied, " Mother-in-law, father-in-law, it is great to finally meet the both of you. No worries! I will tell you everything in private."
Altair smiled sweetly at my parents and then at me. He then looked at the three other guys and haughtily scoffed at them. He then said, " It's nice to see the three of you again after several centuries."
He paused and continued, "I would have started with that very polite greeting if Samir did not start saying bad things about me on the get go. I will change my greeting then."
