A. 20:22 And what did you tell them?

I. 20:23 The truth!

A. 20:27 Which truth would that be? :))

I. 20:29 Not telling! That’s what you get for taking so long to reply!

A. 20:34 Sorry, I was in a game. I’m staying out of the next one just for you :))

A. 20:35 So what did you say?

I. 20:37 That you’re my boyfriend and we’re getting married soon!

A. 20:38 Um, whaaaaat?

I. 20:39 Relax. I said you’re my friend and we get along really well.

I. 20:45 You’ve read it. Why aren’t you saying anything????

A. 20:48 I was celebrating when you said we were getting married :))

A. 20:48 Mom got home. I had to help with the shopping bags.

I. 20:49 Would you want to marry me? :))

A. 20:50 Never had anyone else in mind for the position :)

I. 20:51 So sweet :)) Well, tomorrow you can take the first step!

A. 20:52 Propose?? :)))

I. 20:54 No, get to know them! Mom said we should come over for tea after school tomorrow.

A. 20:57 That’s a very serious step for me.

I. 20:59 Scared? Or don’t you want to meet your bride’s parents? :))

A. 21:01 I don’t even know what you’re supposed to do at these things. Maybe we shouldn’t?

I. 21:02 It has to be done, Fedya. It has to be done!

A. 21:03 I’m not Fedya :((

I. 21:04 What’s wrong with you? It’s a movie quote!

A. 21:05 Which movie?

I. 21:06 Operation Y. The one with Shurik.

A. 21:08 Never heard of it…

I. 21:10 Are you serious? Everyone in the country knows it!

A. 21:12 Seriously. Never seen it, never even heard of it.

I. 21:13 Oh, you. Looks like we’ll have to fill in the gaps in your education.

A. 21:15 Only if you’re there!

I. 21:17 That’s the idea. But first you meet my parents tomorrow. Dad’s just arranged to swap shifts with someone so he’ll work Sunday instead. So you definitely have to come over tomorrow.

A. 21:19 He didn’t need to go to all that trouble for me, did he?

I. 21:21 It wasn’t for you, don’t worry. Someone asked him to swap. It just worked out :))

A. 21:23 What am I going to talk to them about?

I. 21:25 Oh, there’ll be plenty. Do you love her? How did you meet? Where will you live after the wedding? Lots of things!

A. 21:27 I’m serious!

I. 21:28 I don’t know. They just want to know who their daughter spends her time with. Wouldn’t you worry if you had kids?

A. 21:31 I haven’t even thought about that :))

I. 21:32 Well, you should! You want to get married, but you haven’t thought about the children!

A. 21:34 Oh, forget it…

I. 21:34 Don’t worry. They don’t bite :))

A. 21:36 Okay.

I. 21:40 I’m off to bed. Good night :))

A. 21:41 Night :)) I’m going to play a bit longer.

Meeting the Parents

“Do we really have to?” I asked again, already knowing the answer.

That afternoon, we walked toward her house, and I grew more nervous with every step. At sixteen, you don’t meet a girl’s parents every day. Especially when you haven’t even properly told her you love her yet.

“No turning back now!” Inna gave me a firm push between the shoulders. She’d apparently realized I might not make it there of my own free will.

“Oh, look, my bus stop! And here’s a bus!” I tried to turn it into a joke.

“Andrey, seriously?” Inna frowned a little. I had the feeling she was about to stop trying to persuade me and get upset instead.

I couldn’t let that happen.

“No, Inna, I’m kidding! I just feel like a fish out of water, so I’m trying to joke my way through it.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll find you a nice bowl!”
