Again, the knock came on the door heavily and this time, Joana helplessly opened her eyes.

Yawning, her cracked voice from her peaceful sleep managed to echo “ Hold on, I'm coming”

She got up unpurposefully from her bed and walked clumsily out of the bed to get the door.

As the door swung open, Simon came inside looking a bit worried.

“ Uncle, Simon, good morning. Did you sleep well?” She asked, rubbing her eyes rashly.

Simon’s face was not looking too good and Joana knew he might be worrying over Sophia again.

    Holding the phone, the excitement in Shawn’s face darkened. “ What is the matter Shawn, you don't look too excited” Knowles fixed a curious gaze at Shawn.Not wanting to be a nuisance, Shawn waved the seriousness off his face, masquerading it with a fake smile.“It's nothing serious, Father” he glanced at his father uneasily. “ Ummm, Father, my wife-to-be is coming on Thursday to see you.
