[Exurb.]
[Advika's Home.]
The girls' parents sat in the sitting room, their faces filled with worry.
"Cough! Dear, why haven't Advika and Sylvia returned yet?" Evander asked and added:
"Shouldn't they be back by now?"
"I don't know, but you shouldn't get so worked up; they'll be fine. Besides... Nothing bad can happen to them."
"Nothing bad? Don't you know how the big city is for young, weak girls?"
"Our daughters aren't weak. Sylvia might be, but Advika is not," Anna said sternly.
Evander stared at his wife for a few seconds and slowly nodded his head.
"Okay."
Knock! Knock! Knock.
"Who's knocking on the door? We rarely get visitors. Maybe it's the girls, but why would they knock?"
"Calm down; I'll check it out."
Anna smiled slightly and walked toward the door... She stopped before it and asked:
"Who is it?"
"Hello, we want to see Mr. and Mrs. Evander."
