Episode 43: My family are very traditional

Olivia: Hey Harry! How’s it going?

Harry: Not bad thanks...

Olivia: Are you a millionaire yet?

Harry: Eh? What? Oh...Fadi’s “FindLondon” business.... Actually it’s going pretty well – we’ve set up a website and now we’re taking lots of enquiries, there’s a lot of interest. But I’m only an investor, you know – it’s not my real job...

Olivia: Sounds even better - if you can make money without working!

Harry: Yeah! I guess that’s the plan. That’s Fadi’s plan anyhow! But – as your friend Magda says – there’s more to life than money...

Olivia: Well, that’s certainly true...

Harry: I mean, I want to spend more time with Bindyu – that’s what makes me really happy...

Olivia: Why don’t you just go out more together?

Harry: Well, we see each other most days...but it’s not that...

Olivia: What is it then?

Harry: I’d like to take our relationship a bit more seriously...

Olivia: But?

Harry: But she doesn’t want me to meet her parents...

Olivia: Oh. I see. Why not?

Harry: That’s just it – I don’t know really...I think she’s embarrassed by me, or ashamed of me...or something...

Olivia: No! That can’t be true! Why do you think that?

Harry: I don’t know – perhaps I’m not rich enough, or successful enough...you know, I’m just an ordinary London guy...anyhow, I must be off now – if you see Bindyu let her know I was looking for her!

Olivia: Will do! Bye!

Bindyu: Hey there!

Olivia: Hello! Oh…Harry was just in here looking for you...

Bindyu: I knew it...I meant to catch him – but just missed him!

Olivia: He was talking about you, actually...

Bindyu: Oh yeah? All good things I hope...

Olivia: Yes...but...

Bindyu: But? You mean there’s a “but”?

Olivia: Yeah....he thinks you’re not taking the relationship as seriously as he wants..

Bindyu: Oh no...that’s not true...why does he think that?

Olivia: He thinks you don’t want him to meet your family...

Bindyu: Oh...I see......It’s not that I don’t want him to meet my parents, it’s just that it’s ...

Olivia: What?

Bindyu: It’s just difficult, that’s all...

Olivia: Why?

Bindyu: Well...you know...we’re so different...from different backgrounds...and my family are very traditional....

Olivia: I see...still, perhaps you should try...

Bindyu: Yeah – maybe you’re right. I’ll try...
