Sophia 's father stared at Malvin with a faint grin on his face as if he knew what was Malvin going through. Sophia turned away shyly. She wanted to hide her rosy cheeks at all cost.
She poured water into two glasses and offered it to her father and Malvin. Hands shaking with nervousness Malvin picked up the glass.
"Please sit down." She offered him a chair.
Malvin chugged the whole glass in no time, handing the glass back to Sophia, he replied, "Ah no. I'll get going."
Sophia's father spoke, "What's the hurry? Sit down, please let us show our gratitude to our saviour." He turned his head to Sophia, "Sophia, go make some delicious tea for our guest."
Malvin's heartbeat increased. Tea from Sophia's hands? He felt a rush of happiness. He quickly settled down while Sophia went to the kitchen.
"May I know what is your name?" Asked Sophia's father.
"My name is Malvin."
"Are you a commoner?"
Malvin nodded, "Yes, I am."
