"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

Jiro was already waiting for her outside, near the elevator. He has a cup of coffee in his hand. Some glances and faint giggles were heard as women murmured about the tall man, waiting outside the door. She grimaced, 'he wasn't that handsome, though,' she thought to herself, then glared at the women whispering about Jiro.

"You're quick," she lamely said as she couldn't think of anything witty to tell him.

He handed her the coffee he was holding and she felt giddy with the thought that he got her coffee. Yet, her expression remained stoic. "Thanks."

"There's a rooftop bar in this building, do you have time to spare?"

She nodded. Although she was thinking of having a conversation in private because she sometimes couldn't handle her emotions when there's a confrontation, she'd preferred running away rather than facing her problems.

I Love You
