Jammy thanked Linda for the water. The headache was killing him. Linda just stood beside Jammy as he drank a mouthfuls of water. Linda wanted to know what happened but she kept herself at bay and waited for Jammy to speak up.
Linda, "Are you ok?"
Jammy looked up to her as his eyes welled up. He shook his head. Jammy asked, "Kiddo, is money everything?"
Linda understood the reason he was this sad, "Big brother, everyone has different needs. Money might be not everything for us but some people die to earn money, some kill to get money to feed themselves. We were privileged enough to always have money backing us up but ~ .....not everyone is lucky enough to have money."
She sighed and went ahead to hug her tearful big brother.
"The point is money is not everything but living is. Now to be alive people need money. Even if not a lot, no one can live without money."
Jammy hugged Linda back, he buried his face in the crook of her neck as he looked for comfort from her.
Jammy, "Will money buy happiness?"
Linda closed her eyes as she reminisced, "Isn't our family the best example? Money can't buy happiness but it will keep you alive. Nowadays happiness is a luxury for rich and a blessing for middle class families."
Jammy felt his head being banged again and again. He felt sad, hurt and annoyed at choosing the wrong person.
Linda, "Sleep now big brother. We still have the whole day tomorrow to talk."
As soon as Jammy's head hit the pillow, he fell asleep. Linda pulled the blanked up to his chest and adjusted the temperature in the room. She walked out of the room and called Mr. Yemek.
"I want all information on Milly Carpey."
Mr. Yemek started compiling all the information on Milly Carpey.

.........
The morning light began to shine as Linda woke up from her sleep. She freshened up and went to make breakfast. Jammy came out of his room and saw Linda making breakfast. He went and washed himself up and came back to see Linda setting up the table. All the food were for hangover.
Linda saw Jammy and greeted him. He sat on the chair and started having breakfast, after a few minutes Linda joined him at the table and started having her breakfast. The air around them was harmonious but Jammy felt very awkward. He felt annoyed that he didn't tell anything to his kiddo and the she didn't even ask anything of him.
Jammy opened his mouth and closed it again, he wanted to say something but he couldn't. Linda saw that and said, "Big brother, you know you don't need to speak. You don't need to tell me anything."
Jammy, "It's not that. I want to tell you everything but the embarrassment is… kind of killing me. I talked big day before yesterday about how I was ready to get married and have children but see how my words turned into such a joke. The woman I loved, loved me only for my money. I was ready to tell her about my company to her before you but she turned out to be such a ...I don't know what to say. She said she was only with me for my money and that she had already found another man. The other guy is Mr. Elo. Well, I guess he is richer than me and now in her eyes I am a penniless man, poor person, and maybe even dirt."
Jammy said everything sarcastically. Linda listened to him and finally said, "Well, who cares what she thinks of you. Aren't I enough? After all you are my hero. After all no one can ever take your place in my heart."
Jammy smiled as he said, "Life is truly a puzzle. Everything's gonna be alright I guess."
Linda, "Yep."
She got up from the chair and started doing all the dishes together with Jammy. That was when the bell rang. Jammy went to answer the door. He opened the door and saw his younger brother, Kenn was there with their step mom.
Jammy, "Mother, what you are doing here?"
Mrs. Yokov, "Just here to see my children. Is that bad?"
Jammy smiled and shook his head. He invited them in. Even Linda was shocked to see them at her apartment.
Kenn went ahead and hugged Linda. Linda told them to sit in the living room as she asked if they would like to have something.
Mrs. Yokov, "Nothing. We don't need anything but come here fast fast."
Linda was happy to see Mrs. Yokov so excited. She was even wondering what made the usual calm Mrs. Yokov so excited.
Mrs. Yokov very enthusiastically said, "Dear Linda, I found a very good man for you. Would you like to see who he is?"
Both Linda and Jammy was shocked. Jammy was about to say something when Mrs. Yokov continued, "I am just introducing him. It's up to you Linda if you want to marry him or not. You can just even date in the first phase or maybe just be friends."
