Chapter 117 - CHRISTMAS WITH THE IN-LAWS IV

The game continued and the couple got very lucky in the second round. They picked up easy item and in two minutes, Ali was able to guess seven items. In total they have 12 points. Whereas, Luiz\' words were very long. He even got three movies and it took him a long time to guess it. In two minutes, he only got four. So, they lost the game by two points.

"Yay!" Luna exclaimed happily. "I\'ll be looking forward to the prize, boss."

"Sure. I\'ll have it booked for New Year. Is that fine?"

"Uh. I remember that I have work." Luna muttered helplessly.

"It\'s just three days and two nights."

"Can you book it from Friday to Sunday? In that way, I can only leave one day from work." Luna tried negotiating with her boss. She wasn\'t embarrassed at all.

"Okay. I\'ll just give you the details one Cayenne goes back to work."

Luna and Ali expressed their \'thanks\' to Stefan. They have been saving money for their future so they didn\'t have time going on an expensive trip for themselves. It was really a blessing in disguise that they found Stefan in Cayenne\'s home.

Around ten in the evening, Cayenne\'s mother woke up.

"Good evening, Auntie." Luna and Ali greeted them.

"Hello. I\'m glad to see you\'re here." She sat in the living room and took a piece of cookies from the plate on the table. "What were you guys doing?"

"We played some games." Luiz responded his mother.

"I\'m glad you guys are having fun." She softly stated with a smile. "It\'s few hours before Christmas eve. Do you guys want to go out and have fun before the time\'s up."

"Is there anything special outside?" Stefan asked since he didn\'t know anything about her place.

"The neighborhood always prepares some activities for everyone. There\'s disco party, there are various games that you can play, a KTV and many more. In the past, we\'d spend our time outside and come back few minutes before the clock hits twelve." Cayenne responded to him.

"You\'d like to go?"

"No. I\'d like to stay here."

"Then, I\'ll stay with you." Stefan replied.

"We\'ll stay, too." Luna declared with a smile. Ali just nodded his head in agreement.

Since they didn\'t want to go out, they decided to set up the table for their dinner. After making sure that everything\'s settled, they went back to the living room and chat again. They played another game and this time everyone can participate except Cayenne and Stefan once again.

Cayenne was responsible for giving the prizes while Stefan was responsible for asking the things that he wants or for letting guess about the things that he likes or he doesn\'t like.

The first person to answer the right question will get $2 from him. When you think about it, the amount was small but once accumulated, it would become bigger. And to think you\'d earn it just from playing a game.

"What\'s my favorite color?" Stefan questioned.

"White." Luna answered immediately and got $2. Stefan mentioned in a finance magazine interview before that he likes white.

"Tell me something that I love."

"Cayenne." Ali mumbled.

"Huh?" Cayenne looked at him with questioning eyes, thinking that he was calling for her.

"Stefan loves Cayenne." Ali gave emphasis to his answer.

Cayenne\'s face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment. "I\'m not something." She muttered. "I\'m a person, not a thing."

"Right. My mistake." Ali stated but Stefan considered his answer; thus, he earned $2 after his girlfriend.

"Give me a shoelace." Stefan asked which everyone scampered out to get a shoelace from their shoes.

Luiz went to his room and got a newly-washed shoelace. "I don\'t understand why my brother didn\'t think about this." Luiz mumbled while handing the shoelace to Stefan. It was Kyle\'s shoelace that he just washed along with his shoes. Luiz got $2 this time.

Although the game was for everyone, Cayenne\'s mother stayed in her seat while watching them with a smile on her face. She was just happy to watch them having fun.

"Tell me something that Cayenne treasure so much."

"Family, of course." Luiz mentioned again and he got $2.

"What is something that I don\'t like to eat?"

"You don\'t like to eat eggplants and any kind of food with liver paste." Kyle answered this time.

"How did you know that?"

"My sister kept telling me to avoid these things when we\'re cooking our food for tonight."

Cayenne just smiled sheepishly towards Stefan. Kyle got $2 and the game continued.

After half an hour, the four people received so much from Stefan. They changed to another game again to avoid getting bored. Just as they were trying to think of another game, someone knocked on their door again.

This time, when Cayenne opened the door, she only smiled politely. The visitor was one of their neighbors who would sometimes ask Cayenne to tutor her daughter. She knew that Cayenne and her family was in a dire situation and that they were facing a lot of troubles in the past years.

Knowing that their mother had come back, she used this time to visit them and gave them a little gift. She handed them a box of fruit cake that her eldest son brought back.

"Thank you so much, Ma\'am Nina." Cayenne mumbled. "Would you like to come in. My mom is already home."

"Just send my regards to your mother. I have to come back as soon as possible or my son will get upset. He just came back from his work in another city."

"I see. Well, Merry Christmas ma\'am Nina."

"Merry Christmas to you and your family, Yen."

The woman waved her hand and turned around to leave. Their house wasn\'t far from the apartment building and when Cayenne looked down, she saw that someone was waiting for the lady downstairs. It was her husband. When he looked up and saw Cayenne, he only smiled and waved his hand. Cayenne waved back to them.
