"I'm home" Jeff said as he reached the apartment. After Laura's house, she went straight to the apartment. There are so many things she wanted to tell Mom Veni. I don't know why it feels so hard to leave Laura even for the sake of her ideals. But he still had to leave because that was what he had to do. The sooner he goes out to eat the sooner he finishes all that and comes in at the beginning. He'll come propose to Laura later if we're done with all the activities out there. When he arrived at the apartment, Jeff immediately looked for the whereabouts of Mom Veni who was in his room.
"Mom, can I come in?" jeff asked Veni when he opened the door to the woman's room. Mom Veni who was busy cleaning up her things immediately nodded her head to give Jeff permission to enter her room. If it had been like this she knew that her son would have wanted to tell her something.
"What's the matter, baby?" ask mom Veni. He knew there were things he wanted to tell because lately Jeff had told him more about his life.
"Why hasn't Daddy changed one bit? that's too selfish in my opinion. Daddy doesn't want to divorce mom, but he smiles hurting mom. Then what does he want?" asked Jeff who felt sorry for Mom Veni. Somehow he was addressing all this with all his thoughts.
"Don't think of anything about the two of us. You just need to focus on yourself and your goals. Mom is tired of all this so let mom live happily with the path you choose today. You know Jeff, now mom is a lot quieter living out of the house with you, so don't think about it anymore. Leave all this because mom doesn't want to talk about it anymore." explains mom Veni because she doesn't want to talk about the issue anymore. His life was calm and much more comfortable after he left the house.
"Then Jeff? Jeff could not study abroad and left mom alone in Singapore later. If I could-"
"No dear, no! You should still go abroad and show them if you can. Mom doesn't care if you live in Singapore because mom is much better now. At least you can show them if you can get through this. But remember, never let go of what you have from your Daddy. It is your right, darling. Mom doesn't want you to give up on Johnny. Never give up on that, baby." explained mom Veni. He doesn't want Jeff to give up on Johnny and give up all the possessions he has. However, Jeff thirsty still maintains all that because it is his right.
"Jeff will do it for mom if that's what you want. Jeff will fight to make mom happy and proud of Jeff's achievements."
"That's great, baby. Now take a shower and clean yourself. It's late afternoon and we'll have dinner outside later."
"Okay mom" Jeff replied.

While at her home, Laura is also with her family at this time. She was in her parents' second room as usual because she was going to tell me later.
"none. Just want to tell a story, "She explained. He came to his parents' room because he wanted to talk about his relationship with Jeff. However she was already comfortable with the man so if she was left later Laura was not sure she could get through it.
"What?" jordan asked because she knew a lot of things that Laura wanted to tell them both.
"It's about me and Jeff. Our test was a week away and after that he went straight to America. We were going to split up and for that he asked Laura to patiently go through this. Jeff says he did it all for his own sake and Laura's sake. Jeff wants to prove to his family that he can be successful out there without any help from them. More clearly, he wants to return the favor for what mom Veni has been doing for him. Jeff says he wants to boast about mom Veni who wants to see him succeed beyond his family. Later, if Jeff goes to America then mom Veni will go back to Singapore and live there." looks Dara experienced a heavy breath because she knows a quarter of what the woman's ordeal. It used to be that when Antoni cheated on her she wasn't that strong and even Jordan fought so much to get her heart. Then what about that woman who can be strong and tough to deal with this problem. She let her husband play out there with other women and even worse she raised her husband's child from another woman. It's amazing, isn't it?
If it was Dara, she would say that she couldn't do it all. But in fact there is a woman who is so able to withstand the burden of life she lived.
"So you mean how? do you also want to study abroad?" jordan asked because she wanted to know how her daughter answered about all this.
"Laura doesn't know. Laura doesn't want to leave mommy and papi if you guys object to this."
"How to marry young? You and Jeff got married young."
"What?" shrieked Laura when she heard the answer from her papi. The plan is he just wants to tell her a story but how can the man tell her to marry Jeff. He was 17 and Jeff was 18. How can they get married.
"Why surprised? now I ask you, are you willing to live here and Jeff left for 3 or 4 years? If you can then do it. But if it's not -"
"Don't say anything that isn't dear! Our daughter is very young and she is 17 years old. That's not the right age to get married. No, I will not allow to marry young because marrying young is not easy. Sometimes the grown-ups I find it hard to understand their partner then how can Laura be married young."
"But this is the only way to bring the two of them together. Getting married doesn't hurt, and I these two kids can get through it all together. Already, don't think about it too much anymore. We'll talk about everything with our extended family. If they all agree and the kids agree why not. Isn't halal better?" jordan asked which made the two women speechless and could not say anything more after hearing his explanation.
