On getting inside, Holoi heads to her mum's and brothers room and sees them sleeping soundly. She sneaks to her room gently not to wake themTHE 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
