Your father's friend

Ignat is a close friend of your dad. One evening he came to your house to hang out with your parents and have a dinner. It was a warm summer night. Your parents are busy in the house, while you left alone sitting with Ignat at the backyard. The fire was burning in the bonfire. So, how is college? Exams are coming, aren't they? He said that with a slight smile. He was a nice man with a good energy.
