"Y/n L/n". My eyes blink twice as I am presented and back to reality seeing my mother's face disapproving look. The clink of the teacup and the aroma of lemony and herbal filled my nostrils as I seat in front of her motionless, muscle stiff from my work of constant looking down and bad posture. Her clear amber like colored tea floated with lemon zest that made whatever witchery she is drinking aesthetically appealing. Like the usual, the woman wears a dark maroon lipstick with her eyebrow on flick, dark fill in and her lashes curled. There is no other make up that touch her face aside of this and an occasional eyeliner and blush. But the woman's reflection is too damn youthful to even add a blush that she already has on her cheek. Not to mention her choice of clothes that made her even more ten years younger. "Ma, what vitamins are you taking?", I shifted the topic which in response shake her head to me and like always have a serious look in her face as she explains the collagen and how it works wonders. I like collagen, it makes you look young, but I suited the more mature look than young. Maybe when I'm around her age, forty or something I may start taking those miracle vitamins. She sighs and put down the cup again with a frustrated expression that is clearly directed to me. "I am not kidding when I told you, your sister has a boyfriend." She dramatically pauses in which I responded with a raising eyebrow as I take the coffee cup rim close to my lips to pretend, I am sipping the not so delicious coffee of the entire world but pretended it is. "And what does she have to?" It was my turn to give her a sarcastic look which she pointed, "listen, I'm still your mother and you're going to listen to me."
"Ma, she is an adult. Grown 25 years old adult."
"Exactly my point, she can just get up and get married."
Someone come pick me up.
My face scream without making me say a word of how disagreeable she is right now. She has to call me in the middle of my work shift, and I have to pretend I am going to class and waiting. I didn't tell my parents of me taking much available online classes than an actual physical classes. They are going to kill me when they know I prioritize work and academics come secondary--juggle both actually, yet they will still be going to make it seems so that I care less of my degree.
"Your point?", I calmly ask her without a hidden expression that etched to resurface when that motherly look glare at me. "My point is she has introduced me to the guy. Which I am here to tell you that you're not taking anyone as your lover until you graduate college." My eyes widen to her revelation as if it was new and take a sip to the awful coffee. A coffee from this tea shop that specialize tea and treated coffee as tea with herbal juju in it. Her executing control is overbearing, this is why I move out and desperately at that note, I can't stand this people. She sighs and her affectionate and gentle look rested to the witch's face, "I know you and your sister are close, but I just can't let you have the same to your sister."
I choke on the brownish liquid. "What are you trying to say, Ma?" I coughed lightly and she shake her head as if she is trying to make me understand. The woman literally told me to hands off to hopes of any romantic aspect, as if I will, my previous relationships are unknowns to her or to my father and only the older sister knows about it, which is risky cause she is a type to nag. But I gave up on the idea long ago cause either they got caught and I'm forced to be pathetic and break up with an excuse 'my parents told me so' or the boy is just a lame and is a 'boy', results are the same. I come to accept that my fate, or 'red string' is quite not tangled with anyone or even connected to one. I am going to die single and an old-single aunty for my future niece that comes to Christmas and holidays bringing expensive gifts. "Aren't you afraid I'll be alone and old, single." My body lean to the table as my expression morph to something that I clearly not want, and I am trying to get it through her. She waves her hand dismissive of my thoughts. "Nonsense, daughter. You are beautiful yourself and educated, beautiful inside and out. Being single and in the future become a mother alone is the beautiful thing you can ever ask. Men only provide destructions and distractions. They are pathetic creatures." she heavily sigh and shook her head.
