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

Laurie didn't waste time and went directly to her bedroom to grab some clothes. She called January and according to her, Haru suggested that the dress that she was going to wear be sent to her house and she will just have someone bring it to her when she's ready.

Before she left Jiro's apartment - as not to waste time, she called Haru's assistant and told her to send the dress to her house. She could ask her to have it sent to Jiro's place but she doesn't want Haru to know that she's holed up in his apartment.

Thus, asking Haru's assistant was the safest choice. Because last time she talked about Jiro to Haru, she expressed her strong disagreement about Jiro. And now that she's Nicky's self-proclaimed new liaison. She's pushing for her and Nicky's getting back together. At first, she was mad at Haru. Who wouldn't? When she gave her address here in Tokyo to Nicky without asking for her permission.
