THE FOLLOWING MORNING:

Holoi is dressed and set to go to her agent work. She gets stopped by her mum

ARLENE: My princess is here

HOLOI: Good Morning Mum

Arlene responds with a smile to Holoi and she couldn't stop herself to question Holoi

ARLENE: Where are you going today? To serve the Almighty?

HOLOI: (Smiles) That's a good thing but no, I am heading to work at the agency

Her brothers step into the kitchen with a furrowed brow

TOBY: Today is meant to be a work free day

HOLOI: To normal people, it's a work free day, but to people like us, it's not. If we take Sundays as free days, vicious attacks may happen to anyone without anyone being able to stop it

SETH: True, but I am pretty sure you came home late last night

ARLENE: That reminds me, how was your date? Can I now officially call him my son-in-law?

HOLOI: (In disbelief) Mum?!

ARLENE: What? I didn't say anything wrong. Besides it's not against our culture in Seronski. You are not too young to get married, as a matter of fact, a woman is considered ill luck In Seronski if she hasn't gotten married by age 22.

HOLOI: I know mum, besides I havent said he spoke about marriage, but you're right. Mothers have a good way of guessing their children's minds and all pertaining to their children

TOBY: It's also a tradition in Seronski to get married pretty early even if it's just a week, two weeks or three days you've met your lover

HOLOI: (Smiles) I am aware Toby.

SETH: So spill the tea.

HOLOI: Drinaye just spoke nicely, he made confessions of his feelings for me. He also said if I accept him as my lover I should wear an emerald green gown
