--Marl POV:
This Josh is always coming here I know he's grieving about my brother but why. I always get annoyed but then he's good to my daughter and he always helps me look after her when I'm at work so I don't have anything to say.

Josh: What time are you going home? I think Yana has a fever and she needs to go to the hospital but I don't have a car.Oh nooo! I need to go home immediately!
*Calls Josh*
Marl: why what happened?? I'll be there. I just need to tell my boss.
Josh: I don't know, but she's being lethargic and when I touched her she's already burning up!
Marl: Okay, please look after her. I'm coming home.(without marl's idea, it's his birthday today so the two of them at home Josh and Yana have a surprise for him)

Josh: HAHAHA you always forget things even your birthday!
Marl: well I'm sorry for being a workaholic. Haha
So they had dinner and fun for Marl's birthday.
Marl: thank you guise for this and Josh even though you're still grieving about my brother you manage to prepare all of this for me...
Josh: of course don't worry about it. It's nothing, it was Yana's idea anyway.
Marl: but still thank you...
I'm having a different perspective to this Josh person, I know he's gay but he's a good person after all...
