Hasina spoke cheerfully.
Rose hadn't eaten the entire trip from Thrikkakara to Munnar.She was hungry and the smell of the delicacies had her stomach rumbling .Even Umma heard it!
"Come on,eat up.Don't be shy.Its just snacks.The dinner will take another two more hours The entire family has yet to arrive.Armaans parents run the family business.So they will take another hour to close the shop."
Rose was surprised.Umma was explaining so much that Rose was feeling like they weren't strangers, but long-lost relatives.
