My Mom Wants to Mate
15. The 28th Birthday

After Inda left, Karen also walked towards the exit. The writing team gawked at the sight of 2 important people in the office each leaving with different goals.

"Later editing will be done the same image yes, just calm down, there is a bonus."

"okay, Boss. Boss come back here again, won't you?"

"Yes, I was gone for about 2 to 3 hours. Later if Inda has returned, editing tasks can be helped by Inda."

Karen's headed to a salon. For a long time he did not visit a place that pleased all the women of this world. He would change his appearance to the appearance he had long craved, dyed his black hair into a brick red color.

This coloring takes several hours because before being painted, Karen's hair that has strong pigment must be bleached first.

The Happy Family Hospital

Inda got a surprise, her best friend gave birth in the hospital. After a while she got together with her best friend and saw a tiny baby, her best friend's son, Inda, left to go back to the office.

While coming out of Lavender ward (where her best friend was being cared for), Soni was already waiting.

"Darling ...." Soni greet.

"Why is it even here? Not work?"

"I'm just staying here, someone's guarding me."

"I'm going back to the office again."

"I'll talk, just for a second."

Soni pulls Inda's hand. They got out of the hospital together. Arriving at the hospital parking lot, Soni asked Inda to wait a while there.

"You're here for a minute, I'm gonna grab something."

"Yes, but not for long! I've done a lot of work."

Soni immediately headed for the bike to pick up something inside the seat. She grabbed a small bouquet of flowers on which were inscribed will you marry me. A pair of rings were also attached to the writing.

"She, will you be my wife?" soni said as he handed the flower.

Inda. He didn't expect to get many surprises that day. First, from her best friend who gave birth. Second, from his own girlfriend. "I ... I ...."

"You confused? The answer doesn't have to be now."

"No, no, I'll answer now. Yes, I want to."

It didn't take him long to think. They are in a relationship, the purpose is to want to live together someday. And the right moment is now. Soni pairs the ring to Inda's ring finger. Inda also did the same to Soni because her ring was two in number. If the rings were only one, then maybe they were confused to split in two.

"Well, back to the office!"

"Jeez, you've been bedridden so?" inda protests.

"Heheh, that's not it, baby. We have to work again and we have to work harder for the reception."

Inda's cheeks instantly flushed in embarrassment. Then he returned to the office with flowers given by Soni.

Jesus, I'm under Soni's application. How about talking to the boss? He might be angry. (Industry).

Arriving at the office, he headed for his room. He was so glad his boss wasn't there.

Citra, Inda's co-worker, enters Karen and Inda's room. "So, the boss left, I changed editing duties temporarily. Then if you have arrived at the office, the editing is assigned to you. That, said the Boss."

"Okay, uh, where's he going? Long time no go? The mood's good again, isn't it?"

"It looks like it's just a bit more fun. He didn't say where he was going, but he said about 2 to 3 hours." The image came out and continued its work.

Oh my God, hopefully the boss' mood is good. (Industry).

After 1.5 hours, Karen was in the office with a new head color. Her hair is red. Her appearance became more exotic.

He entered his room, but Inda was not there. He's in the toilet. Karen's eyes caught something in Inda's bag that slightly poked out. He also approached the object which was none other than a small bouquet of flowers.

Ha's? Will you marry me? Inda's proposed to her boyfriend? (Karen).

Inda entered her room and found her boss watching her flowers. "B-boss ...." Inda called out slowly.

Karen looked up and hugged Inda. "Congratulations, Cat Woman!" He could not hold back tears because of haru.

"Ma-thank you, Boss Black Widow. Um, btw hair cute boss."

"Diem! Don't talk! Tell me everything!"

"So, your girlfriend is so happy that you can go to the hospital to bed you?"

"No, that's not it, boss. My friend was treated there. That's you know, my boarding school that I told you about disappeared 9 months ago, she gave birth."

"Now, but I'm not married."

"Now you're married to the doctor who works at the hospital as well."

"She's the same age as me, isn't she? Are you married and have children?" Suddenly Karen became sad.

Signs of the boss coming back. (Industry).

"Oh um, my other boarding school, age 28, and still single."

"Cat Woman! I'm 27 years old!"

"That's tomorrow ...."

"Diaaaaam!"

Well, kumat. (Industry).

"Oh, boss, calm down! Don't get angry and yell, says the beautician, it makes us wrinkle easily."

"Wrinkles? You think I'm a granny?!"

"No, no, boss. The boss is a beautiful, young, successful, kayak ulzang Korean teen girl. It's the boss."

"Teen? You're fucking me, aren't you?!"

"Oh boss, I'm complimenting you again."

Hash, basic. Here's the boss, by the way be sensitive. Oh my God, meet him with his soul mate, let him not be like a man of constant fidelity. (Industry).

The next morning, Karen's 28th birthday.

Karen's still in bed. He hid his face under the pillow. "Inda was asked by his girlfriend. Temen Inda married and gave birth. Aarrrggghhh ...." Karen screaming.

He grabbed the phone and hurriedly turned it off.

There will certainly be many who congratulate you with the frills of prayer immediately loved by a mate. I don't like it. (Karen).

Karen likes to be prayed for, but she wants her prayers not to be told to her because it reminds her that she has not had a partner to date.

I don't want to go into the office. (Karen).

After locking herself up for a few hours in the room, Karen started to feel bored of herself. He also took a shower. After that, she put on makeup and put on good clothes.

I'd like to entertain myself. Alone only. Only me. (Karen).

He headed to a shopping mall and sat on a bench there. In the morning, the mall is not too crowded. More and more, popping up people who visit the mall. Many couples are walking around. There are also small families who are playing with their children who are toddlers.

Kirain here will be fresh, even more frustrating yes. (Karen).

Karen bought a contemporary drink, hoping to be more fresh after drinking a sweet drink. Then he went to the cinema to watch a movie. But, one of the studios that used to play the movie he wanted to watch was being rented.

"Nobody in the other studios did this movie, Mommy?"

"I'm sorry Brother, at this hour, another studio is playing this movie, this and this. For the film you want to watch, only in studio 1 but is being reserved until 12. After it's opened to the public again, brother."

"Order what the hell, Ma'am? It feels like a restaurant. It's a movie theater."

"A crazy rich guy wants to propose to his girlfriend."

"Did?!" Karen surprised.

The cinema ticket officer was even more shocked. "Ups, sorry brother, I leaked information that was not supposed to be. This is a surprise proposal. Please keep this information confidential for you, yes" he said, patting his forehead repeatedly.

Well, why am I leaking confidential information to the customer anyway? Not-don't Red-haired brother is the boyfriend of the crazy rich who wants to be proposed. If I break the surprise, I'll get SP. (Beload ticket manager).

"Yes, Mom, I'll watch it next time." Karen's gone from there.
