Chapter 22: B City Memories


    Frieze reached her parents home and both her parents stand right at the gate with questioning eyes.


    The caretaker is surprised too. The cook is in a rush to make her favourite dishes. She gotte buying


    all the supplies. Frieze just called them up to inform her visit just after she boarded the ne. They had


    only two hours to make all the preparations. Her parents were worried that she left Idri''s home after a


    while. But, as they saw a small suitcase that can hardly contain three pairs of clothing, they were


    relieved. However, they were still shocked to see her early morning right in their house. She did not


    look sad or disturbed.


    She handed over the luggage to the caretaker who carried it inside. Frieze hugged her mother and


    father saying that she is very hungry. Her parents are aware of her hunger spree. She takes her inside


    the house and suggest her to change. She quickly kisses her mother and father on their cheeks and


    rushes to her room.


    Her room still remains the same. The only thing changed is the fact that the person to whom this room


    belongs to does not stay here anymore. She is nostalgic about her times here. After she got married,


    she has not got a chance toe back to rejoice her old memories. She feels sad about the changes


    urred in her life so quick. She opened the Mickey Mouse cupboard and all her clothes have been


    neatly folded in different sections. The dresses hung in the closet. She never liked folding her clothes


    and so, she used to just throw her clothes into the closet. She would call out for her mommy or the


    caretaker to find her clothes from the dump. She oftenined about not having anything to wear


    while the closet is filled with clothes that one cannot even close the door properly. Her mommy was


    d that she took some of her clothes to her husband''s house and atst, the door could be closed


    firmly. Now you know why Idri was reluctant to tell her to pack all her clothes. The amount of clothes


    she had is equivalent to about ten people. Of course, she donates many of her clothes to NGOs but


    just to get filled-in soon.


    Now that she remembers the old times, she is sad and at the same time happy to be back home. She


    takes a shower and wears her usual pajama with a baggy t-shirt. As she goes into the dining hall, her


    mother gets emotional to see her at home like the old Frieze who used to run to the hall to eat. She


    feels like she has gone back to time but she looks more mature now than before her wedding.


    Frieze sits next to her dad and Mom is sitting opposite them. Dad looks at Frieze while serving her fried


    rice with tofu steaks. He speaks after serving, "So, what brings you here all of a sudden? You did not


    inform us. I called Idri but his cell phone was switched off. He didn''te along with you?"


    Her mother inquired, "Is he not worried to send you alone here? Why he did note along?"


    Frieze was only feeling the pressure of the questions being shot at her. She needs to still remain calm


    and speak casually about the news. She gulped down a few spoons of rice and some water as she


    gets ready to speak, "Idri and I have decided to file for a divorce. We are just meant to be together.


    Please don''t get worried about me. I have already decided to finish my work contract and shift back to


    B city. I don''t want you both to get stressed out but support me in my new start of life okay."


    Her parents were in tears.


    "I don''t want to see salt water running down your cheeks.. Ew... Look at me. Do I look upset? Yes


    if was a long term rtionship and probably at your old age, if I had gone through this, then maybe my


    eyes would had poured salt water onto every dish on this table."


    They wereughing and sad at the same time. Dad spoke after a long sigh, "What happened exactly


    between you two? It is not even a year and by the way, we are not old. We are still young at heart."


    Dad patted her head like she was a small puppy.


    Mom on the other hand, was still lost in thoughts. She stopped eating and she was no more smiling.


    Frieze spoke to distract her as she walks to her side "Don''t worry mommy. Whatever happens,


    happens for the good. I will be single again and this time, I am get you a sexy son inw and my Mr.


    Right. Do not worry about what happened between us. Our decision is mutual and we are happy to split


    for a new beginning. We make mistakes and we move on."


    Mom gets up from her chair and hugs her. "We are with you Frieze. Hope you are making the right


    decision for yourself. Stay strong. I know your drama and i can already feel your broken heart. You


    want us to stay stress free but we understand you. We will stay strong for you."


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Frieze could only hug her tighter and her father patted her shoulders. She tried not to look upset. After


    the family moment, Frieze finally spoke "Thank you for being so strong for me. I have my flight


    tomorrow evening. I am in a contract job remember? I cannot take more than two days leave at a


    stretch until Iplete six months in office which is my probation period. I go rest for a while. I woke up


    early to catch the flight."


    Dad and Mom nodded in union and walked her to her room talking about her future ns. They were


    happy that she took the hard times well and Frieze was happy that they took the news well. Her much


    expected family drama did not happen.
