We are in our home now and this time, ofcourse Corina is still keeping herself close to that guy, mother serving the food, I guess I should help.

"Mother, are you angry?" I asked her.

"Maybe, but I should atleast be nice and be grateful to have someone to help us eat out all of this food I cooked." And then we laughed. Awkward.

"Oh my, I love these food you served aunt. But I'm actually full because I ate so much at Mrs. Apple's" She said.

"But, I'll bring some, I couldn't afford not to eat your specialties" She added.

"Ofcourse dear as many as you can" Mother replied with a laugh.

"Hey Cecile, are you planning to talk nor move a little? Why are so behave? We have a visitor" Corina shouting.

"It's my nature" I replied shortly.

"Whatever, I'll just talk to this cute guy over here."

And ofcourse, she told many stuffs to that guy which are quite inaproppriate.Certainly she's gabbing.She always do. She even asked her if he's virgin or not. It seems that the guy did not bother to answer her.

"Wh-- can somebody talk to me, I'm the only one talking here. Hello!"

I'm trying to stop myself from laughing out loud. Poor young girl.

"Enough of that Corina, let's eat!" Mother inserted and placed the roasted chicken in the center.

"I'll help. Excuse me"

I took the carrot soup and the mashed potato. And placed it beside the roasted chicken. I'm really hearing my stomach demanding to eat. I should eat a lot.

So we started eating and I felt like everybody don't have the courage to open and speak. Maybe everybody is very hungry. Aside from Corina.

"What is your name?" Mother broke the silence and all of us looked at him.

"Uhm, I'm Terrence, Terrence Corrigan" He replied with a very warm voice, a man's natural voice. Straight guy ofcourse.

"Are you in this village too?" Mother added.

"Yes. 4th phase" He answered with a smile.

"It's quite far from here"

"Oh, no problem. I'll bring him with me aunt" Corina inserted trying to open the cola.

"Oh, that's good"

Again, the silence came in again and I did emptied my plate. So I took another batch. You can't blame me because I haven't ate anything like this since the last 2 months of my existence.

"Thank you for the dinner Mrs --?" 
"Mildred" Mother answered politely.

"Aunt, I'm going ahead. Diana needs a hand." Corina said while putting the packed foods inside her bag.

"Me too. It's kinda late now." He added.

"Okay, take care"

"Uhm. I'm sorry for how I acted." He came close to me and I really got nervous? Or what.

"I did something bad to you. So I can't blame you if you've gone mad. And I apologize for that"

"Well, all is fair now. Good night"

I gave him my sweetest smile and waived goodbye to the both of them.

"Bye Cecile! See you tomorrow!" She shouted before fully closing the car window.
