At first I thought it was a mistake, but the moment it happened five good times I knew that something was wrong.
I looked at my husband– Gabriel, but he was busy eating, he didn’t even notice how his father’s eyes were wandering.
“Is the food not good, sir?” I asked, my voice shaking.
“My daughter,” his father said, looking straight into my eyes. “I’m just admiring the very beautiful house you have here and I am so glad to enter inside,” he said, smiling sheepishly.

That night, I couldn’t sleep. Gabriel – my husband was snoring loudly beside me while I was still trying to process all that happened that day.
Suddenly, our door pushed open. I froze in shock as my heart hammered against my ribs, there was still nothing under my nlghtie; just like the tradition demanded.
I heard footsteps move closer to our bed and that was when I looked, to my greatest disbelief, my jaw dropped in shock.
