After lunch I had a bit of time and sat outside reading my newspaper, when Detail came back. “Good, I wanted to catch you on your own” she said and sat down next to me.
“How is Philosopher?” I asked.
“Don’t get me started…” she said angrily. “I love him to bits, honestly, but he can be useless from time to time as well!” Obviously he hadn’t said what Detail wanted to hear.
“So, what is your big problem?” I asked curiously now. It really seemed to be a big deal to her.
“Ah,” she said and shook her head in disgust. “This useless daughter of mine has got a boyfriend.”
“Isn’t that nice!” I exclaimed, to cheer her up. Minor is a very introverted little thing and sits most of the time in her room. It is indeed big news that she finally found someone.
“But wait” Detail said, “you haven’t heard the whole story! Of all Dedes, who did she choose? Rob!”
Oh dear, I thought to myself. Rob D. Light is indeed a rather shady character. All the Dedes stay clear of him, for a reason unbeknown to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had done time before, but I don’t know for sure. He just looks the part. I can’t say that I know him well, I haven’t had a decent conversation with him yet. He is very difficult to understand because he always has a handkerchief tied over his mouth. I believe he is wearing it because he is missing a few teeth, at least that’s what it sounds like when he talks.
“I don’t know what the attraction is. Why do the nicest girls always choose the bad boys?” Her shoulders sank as if she was giving in. “I am at my wits end with this girl.” I didn’t know what to tell this concerned mother, but I think at this stage she was just happy to have someone who listened to her.

I just wonder why Philosopher did not sympathize Detail…
its not that he didn’t sympathise, as far as I know he thinks she should bite her tongue and Minor will grow out of it in her own time.
As a parent, of course you hope you have prepared your children to make good choices in life. Making mistakes, however, are a necessary albeit painful part of the learning process. The important part is to be there when needed. More info is required about Rob. D. Light…is he a scoundrel or not?
Only time will tell. At the moment everybody is just wary of him, because he looks the part. And I certainly hope Detail will heed your advice!
