I Left The Army

{ARMANDO}

The last time my mother overreacted was when I informed her, I was joining the army. And if it has not been my father who has been beside her while I gave her that information she would drop, dead. 

The face she had that time is the same she has now. 

The expression changes from confusion to more confusion and then to curiosity. 

As soon as Blake got out of the car, my mother's breath hitched. On the other hand, Blake seemed like he was stuck. I stayed silent as I waited for them to say something. A minute or so passes, just Blake staring at my mother. My mother glanced between me and then Blake. She is shocked. I guess their last encounter was not roses and honey.
