"Come in..."
Juvia's mom finally entered Juvia's room. She saw her daughter crying while looking at her graduation photo.
"Juv, your mom’s friend will be here soon. Don’t cry, okay? You usually smile when you see my friend's kids..." said Mama Miku.
"Has Mr. Rai gone home?" asked Juvia.
"Yes, he’s gone home, your dad dropped him off," answered Mom.
Sfx: Ding...Dong...
Juvia's mom quickly went down to the living room and opened the door.
"Hello... Auntie~!!!" Ribbinna shouted cheerfully, "Where's Juvia? Why isn’t she coming out to greet me?"
Juvia came out of her "cave"... I mean, her room. Ribbinna was shocked when she saw Juvia, who had just been crying.
"Oi, Juv! Why are you crying?" Ribbinna asked.
Juvia immediately grabbed Ribbinna's hand and pulled her into the room. She told her about being 'forced to marry' by her parents.
"Oh?! Who are they trying to marry you to?"
"Mr. Rai..."
"What?! Your boss?! Doesn’t your mom know that he’s your boss?" Ribbinna replied.
"She knows..." Juvia answered, covering her face with a pillow.
"Hm..., in my opinion, you should choose your partner to marry," Ribbinna said, thinking. "But sometimes, it’s not bad to follow your parents’ wishes."
"Ibbi, let’s go home! Stop running off all the time!" Daydit yelled from the living room.
"Okay, Mom!" Ribbinna answered. "I’ll go home now!"
"Be careful on the road, okay!"
"Okay..."
"Really?"
"Yes..."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, don’t take too long, stupid!" Ribbinna grumbled.
And Ribbinna finally went home with her mother. Her words lingered in Juvia's mind, "Yeah, I guess so..." Juvia answered to herself.
