"No be only" she turned her face immediately


"Are you guys done?" Mom asked with a bored expression while Uncle Harry was trying hard not to laugh


"Yes" I sat down


"Where's Dad?" Maris asked pulling a chair out


"He wouldn't be joining us"


"Okay! Let's eat" Harry said rubbing his hands


"Chill Uncle, you're still going to eat the food " Maris chuckled


"So what class are you in?" He asked referring to Maris


"Ss1"


"Wow! And your mouth can run like this" I muttered


"That's good" he nodded, taking a spoon into his mouth " How's your school?"


"Oh, My God!" Maris squealed, " it's so nice!!"


yeah, nice indeed 

"I can see you love it, what's the name?"


"Great Height Academy"


He started coughing immediately, Mom stretched a cup of water to him while I rushed to him patting his back


"Sorry," I said repeatedly


"Great Height Academy" he muttered under his breath, I was able to hear since I was close to him

I gasped 

Does he know something about it?  I laughed 

He can't but he can!  I looked at him suspiciously

"Heys! Aunty!" Maris snapped her fingers at me


"What!?"


"Are you okay? You just laughed, when nobody said anything funny. Are you alright?"


"Help me to ask oh," Mom said dishing more food on her plate


I noticed Uncle wasn't on the chair " where's Uncle Harry?"


"He said he has a call to make, so I'm guessing he's in his room"


"I'll be back" I went upstairs, walked towards his room and stopped at his door, since I'm good at eavesdropping I'll do just that. I leaned to the door trying to pick up words, 

Is he even making a call?

"Eavesdropping?" Maris whispered leaning close to me
