"What the fuck did you send over, Nicky?" Laurie is screaming over the phone at six fucking  o'clock in the morning.

"It has a note. And I believe that the message was clear." the name Nicky answered.

"Well that's exactly, why I am asking!"  she exclaimed angrily, glaring at the innocently looking red leather pill box, that is instantly recognizable as a famous jewelry brand, sitting on her kitchen counter, with a note that says - I heard you cry over a guy, here's a small gift to let you know that I'd marry you anytime.

With the familiar scrawling penmanship in the white piece of paper, she would know who sent her the note, even without calling the guy on the phone.

***
When the guy you confessed to rejected you, and your two exes came back running—declaring they would marry you any time, what would you do?

Would you choose a familiar old love or the one that has your heart but doesn't want you?

And to add to the chaos, her mother is on a mission to marry her nearing thirty-something ass to any man who breathes. 

What should a girl do in such a situation? Run away, of course! 

But then, how far can you run away until all the life's decisions you screwed up in the past caught up with you and you ended up with no choice but to face them. 

Welcome to Laurie’s adventure and just to be clear this is not a love story BUT a quest.

Capture A Husband: My Asian Mother's Quest

"Will you be comfortable here?"

"Yes," she replied, scanning the room.

It has a bed bigger than a single but not big enough for two. It's covered in white sheets with some blue daisies on them. The bed was pushed against the wall parallel to the door to give the room a bit of floor space.

It results in enough floor space to walk around from one end to the other end which has the only window of the room.

There was no closet for her clothes to hang up, but the room has an Ikea kind of stackable box that serves as drawers for clothes. She sighed, seeing the poor condition of the room. It wasn't really bad, but it's a warm enough room to spend the night.

She could go to a hotel and it won't be a problem, but the Nakamura family and her mother won't let her hear the end of it. For sure, they won't stop questioning her if she would stay in the hotel.

I Got Dumped!
