It was another beautiful day with chattering and laughter everywhere in the house. We had just settled down to have our meal when dad cleared his throat to exercise his authority over us, the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet that one could hear a sound breath coming from his or her sitting partner. Dad's face held some emotions which were rarely seen because he had always been able to keep his emotions in check that meant that what he was about to say was quite important to all of the family members to hear and understand.
