Chapter 22 - Telling the Family

A second meeting is arranged with Shizuka's family. This time, it is more formal. Adnan goes wearing a suit and carrying a small Turkish coffee set. Shizuka's mother is initially strange, but smiles after tasting the coffee. Her father asks directly, "Can you understand our family?" Adnan replies, "I came to understand Shizuka first, then you." This statement creates silence. Then her father nods slowly. This is a silent approval.
