Ice cream

C49. Let's take her back where she truly belong

"Just go,Jennie. I'll help you manage the company here." The brunette scoff mockingly.

Irene's words seemed to be a good joke,soothing her ears and sending her the urge to laugh. "Sounds good for someone who had actually betrayed me and my Girlfriend."

"Jennie whatever I've done,I did it to help. Do you think you can solve this on your own?! Think,Jennie think! This is not about stupid egos and prides,Jennie. This is all about taking someone we all love the most home." Frustration flooded through Irene's face as she gritted her teeth. Trying hard to understand Jennie's reasonings.

"I may not be able to do this by myself,but I will try and give it my best,Irene! I swear to God I won't give up,for her,for us. I won't give up on her like her Mother did!!" Tears slowly flowed,warm as it burns Jennie's cheeks. Her heart aches a billion times.

"Jennie,that's why we're here! We are going to solve this together and Lilan,she's here to correct those mistakes." The said woman silently sat on the couch,zoned out,silently breaking down. Those mistakes,the same mistake that had ruined her daughter and mother's life.

"Why?" A playful laugh rang as Jennie pointed at Lilan. "Where was she?! Where was she,unnie?! Where was she when Lisa was haunted by the past?! Where was she when even you had cried at sleepover's night for Lisa? Where was she when fvcking Stephen abducted and forced my lisa to sign that fvcking marriage agreement? Where?! Tell me where,unnie! Just so maybe I could consider giving her a chance." A painful sob echoed,followed by another one,and another. Each sob filled with sorrow as if trying to clench your heart as you hear it.

Jennie slumped on the couch exhaustedly. Everything seemed to fvck up when she's not around. Everything seemed so out of place.

"Jennie,Lisa may have suffered,we may have suffered,but hating Lilan,isn't for us to decide. Lisa had long yearned for her Mother's love,I'm sure you know that. Besides,Lisa have us. She had us at her lowest and highest,but Lilan,she suffered this lost alone. She may have been married but it's different. Imagine the pain of not being there when lisa was the weakest,Jennie. Can you stand that thought? Because I can't,Jennie. Just try and watch everything in her point of view,Jen. She made mistakes,yes,but it wasn't easy for her either."

"It's just... I miss her,Irene. Everything seems so hard without her. I'm sorry." Feline eyes met the chocolate ones as Jennie stared at the middle aged woman in front of her. Lilan looks exactly like lisa,except for the doe eyes.

"I've called your dad,Jen. We'll take over for now,you go with Lilan to Italy tommorow,we've prepared everything." A single tap landed on Jennie's shoulder softly as she breathed out. "Go,Jen. Take our Lisa back where she belongs."

JENNIE

Memories flashed as I sat beside the window of my private plane. I'm flying to Italy with Lili's Mother. As much as I want to hate her,to keep her away from Lisa,I can't. Irene was right. Lisa would never hate her Mom.

"Lili?! Dinner's ready,babe!" Quick steps echoed as I saw Lisa running towards the dinning table.

"Woah,you cooked again?" I smiled as I served the steak in front of her.

"Of course,it's a thank you. For helping me fix the trouble in the company ealier." I blew a kiss on her right cheek which caused her to smile.

"It's nothing,love. You know I've always love art,specifically,photography so it was obvious I would help." I started putting food in her plate so we could start eating.

"Anddd always knew you were good at it." I wink at her and we both cracked a laugh before we continued eating.

I watched Lisa smile while eating and a thought came to my mind.

"Baby,do you sometimes... blame your mom or like.. you know,feel angry or mad at her? I mean.. after everything you've been trough,do you think you can forgive her one day?" She gradually stop eating and begun thinking.

"Well,honestly... I don't hate her,I actually feel like,I've already forgiven her,Nini. Sometimes I would even feel grateful for what she have done... I mean,judging from the fact that she left me to go with Marco,I guess she's happy now. I... can't imagine living with a sad Mom,you know. If she stayed,she would've regretted it sooner when she learned Marco was married already or she wouldn't be happy. I don't wanna grow up and feel like I suffocated her,I had stopped her from doing things that she could be really happy to do. Besides,I would've stayed in Thailand if she didn't left,with Stephen only a mile away from us,andddd I wouldn't have met you and the girls. I may have suffered,but it's in the past now,and it has made me stronger,and it actually brought more people whom I could love and who would actually love me so much too."

"Jennie,do you want a glass of wine?" That same familiar voice rang in my ears again which caused me to turn and look at her again,my lili's mom

"N-no. Lisa hates the smell of this flavor so.. no,I.. don't usually drink this." I blushed from embarassment as she slowly nodded her head. Thinking back to when I planned of marrying Lisa someday,I'm now ashamed of how I've been rude to this woman earlier.

My future mother-in law.

Just thinking about it makes me want to shrink.

"I'm sorry,Mrs. Bruschweiler,it's just..I've been rude I apologize." I looked down as I sighed.

"It's fine,Young Kim. I understand,it was so sweet of you to do that. I'm so sure now that you can protect and take care of Lisa without anyone's help." A smile flashed on her face before she look up front again.

"This plane is so cozy,huh? The color is so lively and warm." She started looking around to admire the internal of the plane even more.

"The design is base from Lisa's preferences,Mrs. Bruschweiler . She loves yellow a lot,and she loves to feel warm and cozy all the time so. I had it customized after the first time we flew together through this plane." I smiled at the memories of how Lisa whined at the cold ambiance and suddenly begun to order some changes and pointing things out with the design.

"You can call me Aunt if you want. Mrs. Bruschweiler makes me feel old all the time,Young Kim."

And young kim is too lame.
