Jyojiko

"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

"It's good, right?" He asked for about nth times already and Laurie was starting to get annoyed at him all over again.

She had already accepted the fact that Joe was like a kid that has ADHD with how he was all over the place all the time. She admired Jiro with how he could sit down on the sofa, legs propped to the chair across from him, chilling like Joe wasn't hovering around them like a spinning top.

"Do you want more?" He asked with his eyes sparkling like a child, waiting to be praised.

She rolled her eyes on him, picked up the plate of gyoza with three more pieces in it, and gave it to Joe. She could eat the three gyoza left on the plate but she wanted to make Joe go away even for a short period of time, hence, she gave him her plate for him to go to the kitchen and get her more gyoza.

When Joe stood up and disappeared to the kitchen, Jiro chuckled next to her.
