"Explain it well for us to understand.", his dad said.
"We were in a relationship and when you announced my engagement to his cousin, I did promise him to speak to you so you would cancel the engagement.",
"But you never spoke with us on that. Honey, did he talk to you about this perhaps?", his mother asked his dad who also shook his head 'no'.
"No mother, I couldn't even get to talk to you because his cousin had warned me first to tell the village elders of our affair if I cancelled the engagement.",
"Wait, pause. I have two questions here.", his mom stopped him and asked, "One, how did she know what you had planned to do? And two, what is wrong if the villagers know of your affair?"
"I think she heard me and Yun Lui talking about it. There was one time when I had bumped into her on my way out of his room."
"Okay, that makes sense. But what of my second question?"
