Did Your Father Keep His Mouth Shut?

Malpa's father was a man of few words, when things should be kept secret. He didn't say much to us about the whole situation. But in many ways, it was a story we didn't speak so much about. Sometimes i feel he looked behind his shoulder sometimes. That was just a feeling. Was rather upset about that, why he was not properly informed. And how long was your father told him he would need this gun and this knife? Did he keep it permanently? It was like a r of protection around this whole question about this lady.
