Concern washed over Rhea after hearing the answer from her father. Her head looked down as she took a spoonful of rice and a small piece of pork. The spoon reached towards her mouth. Her mouth was closed shut and she slid the spoon away from it. Savory spread across her tongue as she munched the rice and pork. This process is repeated until her plate is empty.

Rhea reached for the glass and took a few gulps. After about six gulps, she placed it down gently. This process is repeated until all the water is drained from the glass.

After Rhea placed the glass on the same spot where she got it, her left arm swooped backwards and grabbed the back post of her chair. Her right hand formed a fist and her forearm was placed on the table. Then, as she rose into her standing position, her left hand pushed the chair back. Then, she walked to its back like a circle and gently pushed her chair back, with the addition of lifting it off the ground a bit. Then, she went out from the dining room to the stairs, leading to the second floor.

Once Rhea arrived at the second floor, the first thing she did was to go to the bathroom. Inside, she switched the light on. Then, she walked her way towards the sink, but not before pushing the door closed and pushing the middle of the knob, locking it. Right now, she’s in front of the mirror and the sink. Her right hand reached for the black toothbrush in the transparent, plastic cup with the other three toothbrushes used for her family. Rhea’s toothbrush has a purple design in front of it. At the bottom of it was the logo printed in black. This logo belongs to Colgate.

Rhea’s left hand reached for the Colgate toothpaste itself. Right beside the toothbrush plastic cup. This toothpaste has the dominant colors of red and white, but you can also see the other colors include Green, Blue and White. Rhea opened the toothpaste and placed its minty and freshening flavor onto her toothbrush. She closed the toothpaste and put it back where she got it.

Rhea opened the faucet, wet the toothpaste and she started brushing her teeth. After about five minutes, she’s done. She rinsed her toothbrush before her hand swooped under the running water. Now, the cupped hand was filled with water. It was reached to her lips and once the water was inside her mouth, she gargled for a few moments. Then, she pushed it out of the mouth into the sink through spitting like a faucet with running water.

After brushing her teeth, Rhea turned the knob, unlocking the door and left, but not before switching the light off.

Rhea walked her way towards hers and Ralpha’s bedroom where she could finally have time for herself. She shifted the black and purple electric fan up in the direction of herself in her bed. Then, she pushed the clutch knob to make it swivel. She pushed the electric fan on. A button with the number three on it.

As she heard the blades rotating rapidly, Rhea climbed up on the upper deck and laid down on her right side of the body. Her forearms and hands were lying beside her in front of her head and chest. Images of her own imagination and scenarios started running through her head. She allowed the air to enter her nostrils as she inhaled. Then, she pushed the air out of her nose, exhaling. She did this process in relaxation.

Meanwhile, with Ray, when he’s done with dinner, he did the same process as Rhea. This time, in the bathroom, he grabbed his own toothbrush. It was the same design as Rhea’s except that the color in front of it was light blue.

After he brushed his teeth, Ray exited the bathroom and headed his way to the master bedroom. Inside, there was a desk placed on the northeast corner near the door if you were sitting on the bed. As he sat on his office chair, he started doing the one thing needed for the sake of provision for the family. Managing the money incomes and his own few businesses. These businesses include The Tribe’s Guitars, Blue Leaves Ebooks and Ray’s Banana Chips.
