They quickly arrived at the place where the car was waiting for him and greeted the driver. After some consideration, she decided to head toward her village and settle things there first. The car started to move and quickly headed toward the direction of her village. It was not very far, nearly an hour's drive away from there. After crossing some forest and enjoying the moment, they could finally see the outline of a small village.
The roads and infrastructure were old and poor in this area. There were several pot-holes in the road and it was dusty, there was no asphalt road. Despite being such a place, there were many different varieties of shops. It was not like a run-down place where you can not find anything. Nevertheless, she had already done fare share of shopping for her home in the city so there was no reason to stop and shop more around here. She introduced the place to John while kept chatting with each other. There were many places that she considered very memorable for her because this was where she was born.
Finally, the car was stopped against a small almost run-down home and many villagers came to see the show. A car comes into this part of the village so it was a natural reaction for the people there. After some anticipation, two people finally came out of the car with a driver. Many neighbors quickly recognized the female figure so some of them quickly greeted her while she return her greeting. Some figures greeted her more intimately that came from inside her house so he knew they were her relatives. With all their efforts, many bags were carried inside the house effortlessly.
"Mom, this is your son-in-law. How is it?", Helen tease while giving a cunning smile.
"Ah! What?... Is it true?... but he looks a little younger.", she observed John while making a surprised face. She looked exactly older version of Helen but with bigger assets. Although the clothes she wore were old, it was not dirty at all. She was giving a very powerful motherly vibe which John gets from his mother. The sudden introduction made him very flustered and did not know what to do at this moment. He instantly became the center of attention which gave him goosebumps.
"Yeah. He is 18. John, this is my mother, say hi.", while holding her laughter, she introduced her mother to him while revealing his age which attract more gasps.
"Nice to meet you, ma'am. I'm John Mayer.", although he was flustered, he quickly introduced himself with a big smile on his face.
"Ah!... yes, nice to meet you... are you my son-in-law?", she returned the greeting and asked while doubting the fact.
"Mom, he is. Why would I lie to you? John, this is my second younger sister, this is my youngest brother and my first younger sister, maybe went outside to do something.", she introduced the rest of the members while searching for the last one with her eyes.
"Nice to meet you brother-in-law.", both of them immediately greeted him.
"Yes, nice to meet you too.", giving warm smile, John greeted back. Soon, the conversation started and many inquiries were thrown at them. Finding a situation a little uncomfortable, Helen quickly intervened.
"Everybody stop with the questions. Let's unpack the things that I bought and have some food and drinks. Mom, actually we cannot stay here for long and had to return to the city today immediately. And I am going to settle all of our debt today so we have to hurry.", Helen dropped another shocking news to the family and they became speechless.
"What?... How did you get so much money?", her mother got shocked and asked.
"Don't worry about it. We earn the money in fair and square so there is no problem. Leave all things to me. Mom, where is the second sister? Call her and in the meantime let's eat something.", she quickly explained and requested. She did not want to dwell on and spend the time at this time. Her mother kept confirming that there is no problem with money and finally gave up. No matter how much she asked her, she kept insisting that money is good money and did not tell how they earn it. All her answers were vague only.
"Oh. Alright then.", her mom replied and went to fetch people. All the things were immediately sorted out while John sat on a chair, looking at their actions. The food and drink were served neatly. Minutes later, the missing person also came, and they started to enjoy the food while laughing and joking together. The gathering of close females is always very amusing to him. John will always enjoy the moment when many close women gather in one place. They always tend to bring the atmosphere to a very noisy and pleasant one.
