When are you coming home, kid?
Lisa didn't want to make her best friend worry anymore about her love life, so she didn't tell Andien that she actually felt very sad and hurt when she accidentally stared at the digital billboard screen featuring Oscar and Clara. The two lovebirds looked so perfect, almost like a pair of angels coming down from heaven.
The tears that had welled up in the corners of Lisa's eyes threatened to fall as the wind blew against her face. Then she looked away, staring at the busy and bustling streets around the shopping center to distract herself.
She whispered— no, rather she sent a prayer from within her heart, "Congratulations on your marriage, Oscar Petersson and Clara Gunawan. I still have to keep fighting independently to support my family in need. Thank you for making me understand why money can't buy happiness."
Lisa closed her eyes while taking a deep breath. She opened her eyelids again then let out a deep breath. Her heart gradually returned to calm.
