"Listen, mommy, a strong woman is a woman who can be a mother with struggles that cannot be judged by the assets we have. I have given birth to 5 children and all of them are not easy. You are known for being independent and capable of pursuing a career, why surrender to the destiny outlined for you."
Louisa sobbed, and her mother continued to advise her to keep her mind open. The child was created because of her mistake. And she has no right to kill the child. She must be responsible for the child's comfort in the future.
"Do I have to go back to Hawaii to get back to work, to take the discomfort away," Louisa said.
"You can't honey, you will be worse off, and don't bother other people. If you are helpless then your temperament will increase. Everyone who is near you will never be right and always get blamed. Mommy doesn't like you bullying other people," said her mother.
Marshawn continued, "I already think it, Mom. She's like a witch wandering around on her broomstick. Monitoring the workers and scolding them if the slightest mistake is detected."
"I'm not like that!" Louisa dodged and they both chuckled softly.
"We always monitor your attitude, Louisa, ah never mind you'll be ashamed of yourself," said Marshawn again.
Louisa frowned in confusion, unable to believe that all this time her leadership had been under surveillance. Her head, which felt heavy, was now somewhat better just by having fun with her mother and siblings.

When night comes, all family members are complete. Her parents and two brothers were also gathered in the dining room. At first, everyone ate quietly, only commenting on some of the food their new chef had made. It turned out even tastier than the previous chef.
They always screen some of the best chef candidates for their several hotel businesses. The selected chefs will work in their homes for a month. Must be able to present a different menu every day.
The best chef will be placed in the highest position in the hotel. After the main menu was finished, it was time for them to eat the dessert menu, which was not too sweet but made Louisa delicious.
"It's delicious, creamy and I want some more," said Louisa, who continued to scrape her small plate with a spoon until the melted dessert was clear on her plate.
"Okay Miss," said the chef.
Louisa didn't realize that her father was watching her all along. Slightly worried about her daughter's condition despite being disappointed and annoyed by Louisa's unexpected behavior.
"Have you gotten your nausea under control?" Her Father asked.
"This is because I like main meals not that appealing to me." she snapped. She was still furious with her father who always insisted.
"Then we can accept the Baron's family dinner," her father said again and Louisa stood up and both hands pounded on the table.
"I don't want to marry anyone, except the man who made me this way!" Louisa said, her emotions peaked instantly.
"Don't be stubborn Louisa!" her father shouted as she left the dining table.
And Louisa was no less shouting too, "This is my body and my life so everything has to be according to what I want!"
Louisa's emotional level can't be controlled. She doesn't like being controlled for a long time ago, but she always gives the best results, so that her parents believe and are proud of her. But this time was different, Louisa made an unusual mistake. She knew she was wrong but she couldn't accept any suggestions from others either.
Her decision was unanimous and she wanted to keep looking for the man until she met him. For maximum results, Louisa looked for data on countries with full sunshine and classified them as the hottest cities in the world.
According to what the man said. Louisa doesn't care about the money she'll pay to get that man. Her fantasies about being with him kept ringing in her mind. She missed the man whose name is unknown.
"I don't even know his name, how could I call it in my dream? What a pitiful Louisa!" Louisa started to be grumpy in bed, picking up her cell phone to check her social media.
Her friends are partying and doing live-action. Louisa didn't like insignificant publicity. She cares about the honor of her parents. Until one of her friends immediately contacted her.
"Hi Louisa, are you in London?"
"No," she lied
"But why Amora uploaded a photo of you having lunch at the Palace."
'Fuck Amora!' she muttered
"Oh, just a minute and I'm back in Hawaii again," She. continue said lie.
"Uh, so annoying. We were having Ashley's birthday party, I thought you were here and I wanted to pick you up," her friend said.
"Say hello to Ashley, I'm sleepy from being tired from traveling today and I'm feeling a bit sick from jet lag you know, have fun," explained Louisa.
"Okay, honey. We're visiting Hawaii this weekend, how about that." Asked her friend to make Louisa get in a panic.
"Oh, no, because I have to go to Indonesia. I don't know when the agenda will be and what is clear is that the hotel branch there asked me to attend," Louisa said, beginning to be confused to refuse her friend's wishes.
They could come unexpectedly and Louisa didn't want to see them when things were so bad.
"Oh, you are the Louisa we know. Remember dear, your money will never run out but you will always have less youth every year. Good night Louisa, see you later," she said.
"Yeah see you later."
Louisa flung the small object in her hand away. Gets frustrated when there's nothing to do. She sat for a few minutes and then lay back down. A hard worker who faces piles of business development report files every day and attends several invitations to meetings, collaborations, and others now has to be in a vacuum for who knows how long.
A knock on the door made her turn and her mother came in carrying a doctor who was going to examine her womb.
"For a while, you just stay at home and do not go anywhere for safety," said her mother.
The doctor immediately examined and gave some vitamins so that the fetus in the womb was healthy and developed properly. After a while, the door to her room opened again. Some medical equipment was brought in and her mother arranged the place so that everything was properly arranged. Louisa didn't say much just watched. Until the inspection is carried out to the inside with that sophisticated tool.
Louisa didn't expect that something was living in her body right now. It was alive and beating. Louisa could not hold back the tears that spilled out just like that.
"You have to love it, honey, like mommy loves you."
Louisa hugged her mother who always calmed her down. The feeling of love for the baby-to-be slowly grows. And the hope to meet the man was even higher.
She began to dream of having a small family that is intact and happy. It doesn't matter if the man is poor or rich because she already has everything.
But in the twinkling of an eye, it collapsed when he received a phone call from a workman who said, "That man was called Darwin Helmond and had died in an accident."
