The two older Parents (Mr. Barnabas and Madam Celina), had known each other, one may say, dated secretly in the past. Though taken aback that Celina is the Mother to the girl his Son proposed to marry, Mr. Barnabas, did not expect the twist the woman brought into it.

To him, the issue is not big enough to constitute any impediment, therefore, does not warrant the kind of dust Madam Celina, raised about the issue. Based on his disposition to the matter, Mr. Barnabas had granted his approval for the younger ones to go ahead with their planned marriage.

After what seemed like eternity, Salome took a deep breath, after which came these words:

“My Mother is no longer interested in my marriage to Michael. But, I won’t allow it go just like that”.  With this conclusion, Salome made up her mind to face her mother squarely, saying “Whatever is responsible for the sudden change in my Mother towards my marriage is worth investigating, especially, when my mother could not discuss it with me”.
