"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 makes herself another cup of coffee. However, she wishes she had some alcohol instead. Jiro and Rina went upstairs to Jiro's bedroom to talk and she was left in the kitchen. That's why she decided to make a cup of coffee because she has nothing to do while she waits for Jiro to finish his talk to Rina.

From what she heard, Rina was waiting at Jiro's apartment and when he didn't go home, she came to check if he's here. Now the question of why Jiro took her here at his parent's house was answered. He was avoiding Rina. He knew that she would be waiting at his place, thus, he chose not to go home.

She felt her heart constricted inside her chest. There is no reason to feel hurt for she knew that it's going to happen. What she didn't expect was for Jiro to know that she's going to camp outside of his apartment, waiting for him. She wondered if this kind of situation wasn't the first one for he already anticipated that it's going to happen.
