Take the bull by the horns

I AM working while waiting to further my studies in a local university. I’ve been going out with D, who comes to my work place for events. He’s 28. We met a long time ago but became close friends recently.

One day, I was with him till late at night and didn’t inform my family about my whereabouts. They looked all over for me. When they found out I was with D, everyone at home lost confidence in me.
