Before the meal, he stood up and said, "It's great news for both of our families. Before Cesar's grandmother died, the engagement between us had been on her mind. Now it's time to talk about it."
No wonder he looked so energetic and joyful upon entering the room.
"Cesar is not young anymore, and our two families have been friends for generations.
"Now that Cara is back and about to graduate, it's time to discuss the marriage between they two."
His words scared me so much that I choked on my own saliva. Cesar handed me a piece of tissue right away.
Everyone around us was looking at us with smiles on their faces.
I looked at Cesar with pleading eyes. Although we had been hanging out together for a few years, he must have his own sweethearts.
