Chapter 25

It was summer when Harman brought Alodia along with him to Vaslui to introduce her to his family. However, not everyone was happy to see or meet her. She could see their enmity and coldness. Only a few were sincerely happy for Harman in tagging her along to his original home.

“Don’t mind them,” one of his aunts, Fairuza, said. She was quite voluptuous and wore the traditional Gypsy clothes, long colorful skirt and printed blouse. She wore some fashion accessories like dangling earrings and many bracelets. Probably some of her bracelets were made of real gold though. She had really no eye for what was real or not but she just guesstimated.

They were in the kitchen at the time while Harman was out in the living room to catch up with his cousins.

“It’s… not so easy to do that,” she admitted with a bitter smile.

Just as she said, Flavie, Harman’s cousin walked into the kitchen with a cordless phone in her hand.
