Tux and Spell

Meet The Mom

"Margy! I want to take you to eat at my favorite restaurant, not a fancy restaurant but this restaurant is very memorable to me. That place is where I grew up since childhood, and until I went to college worked as a janitor and waiter there!" Said Jacob in the car.

They planned to spend their time together, from the hotel Jacob had to stop a taxi and go home first to change clothes. He then took his car and drove it to Downtown, a shabby suburb.

Jacob and Margy stopped at a small restaurant with only 5 to 6 tables of customers and the restaurant was empty at the moment.

"You see this restaurant! This restaurant is owned by a very kind Mexican woman, Mrs. Manuella. She is a widow who supports her children from selling food in this place. this restaurant did not go bankrupt. Several times I offered Manuella some money to repair this building, but he always refused. He said this restaurant was his husband's legacy and he wanted to keep it like this. This restaurant holds many sweet memories for me." Obviously, Jacob was looking at a building painted in yellow and light brown, whose paint was starting to fade.

"I never knew you worked since you were little! I thought you were rich from birth!"

Jacob laughed loudly, "I'm an immigrant. My father and mother are of mixed Filipino and Latino blood. We started from scratch in California. My father was a construction worker, my mother was a housemaid. Since childhood, I have worked with my mother. started working as a janitor at this restaurant, paying for my school which at that time did not get a scholarship. I was only able to hold money when I was in college, at that time I used my allowance from working here for daily snacks... Because I got full scholarship expenses paid."

"You must be very smart!" Said Margy looked admiringly at Jacob.

Jacob turned, his forehead furrowed. "You just found out?!"

Jacob walked out of the car and waited for Margy at the entrance. He was currently wearing his casual attire, which was only slightly different from his normal work attire. Jacob still wears black pants and a black collared shirt, indeed this man can never be separated from his impression, like an office man.

As soon as Margy arrived in front of him, he immediately took her lover's hand who was wearing a maroon guessing shirt and jeans. Margy took Jacob by the hand and walked in.

"Manuela!! Where are you? Jacob kept walking towards a table and behind him was a door, they entered the door and stood inside.

"Manuela where are you? It's me, Jacob! I fulfilled my promise to take my future wife and introduce her to you! Where have you been?"

The figure of a stocky woman with a big smile and tan skin walked over with her arms opened, she immediately hugged Jacob tightly and laughed with tears in her eyes.

"Oh my dear, Jacob! Finally, you got here and you got a very beautiful woman! Perfect for you son!" Manuella said patting Jacob on the back affectionately.

"I have fulfilled my promise to you, I have introduced my future wife and brought her here. You must be very happy!"

"Oh my dear, I can't imagine how happy I am! And this woman is so beautiful! It suits you so well! You will surely have beautiful and handsome offspring!" She continued and shook hands with Margy.

"Margy, this is Manuella, my boss and also my adoptive mother. She loves me like her own child, and she is the one who fusses the most when I ask if I eat every day! Even now!"

Manuella hit Jacob's chest lightly. "Because you left your breakfast and lunch too often! I always remember my messy mealtime!"

"Ha...Ha. This Manuella is Margy, my future wife!"

"Where are you getting married? You can use my restaurant! I won't mind! I'd be very happy if you got married here! I'll provide all the food! You just need to invite guests and I'll take care of the rest!" Manuekla said with a shining face. It was clear that this woman was very happy to hear the news of Jacob's wedding plans.

"Wow ..Wow Manuella! You don't have to do that! We're getting married in Las Vegas in 2 weeks and it will be at the same time as my best friend's wedding."

"Oh... What? Why? Why would you do that? Why don't you just get married here? If I'm in Vegas, I can't come! I have to raise my kids here!"

"Yes, that's why! I came here first to introduce you to my future wife."

"Can't it be replaced elsewhere? Come on, please do it here!"

"Manuella, I know you love me very much and I have treated you as my own mother, but I can't bear and can't bear to burden you again by having my wedding here. I'm very happy if you bless our marriage."

"Of course my dear! Of course!"

"Margy, Manuella is the one who helped me, until I reached a point like this, when both my parents died, Manuella was my guardian, she took care of all my scholarships, allowed me to work, eat free at her house when I was off and took care of everything.. .. Manuella is my savior! She is my angel!" Jacob said smiling broadly at Manuella.

"Oh, he's a very sweet man. What's your name, Margy?"

"Margareth! My name is Margaret."

"Oh, what a beautiful name, Margy! You don't have to worry. Jacob is a very sweet man, he's always been hanging on my shoulder since he was little. He's very spoiled!"

Margy glanced at Jacob with a strange look and asked, she thought... So a guy like you can be spoiled too!

Jacob just shook his head.

"Never mind, don't let me out all my secrets! This woman can be dangerous and use her to turn on me! She could do me bad later, stop it! said Jacob.

"Ah, no way! A woman as beautiful and pure as this, it is impossible to use your secret to do evil! She is a very good wife-to-be and suits you!" Manuela said.

Jacob thought, he just doesn't know this woman's trickery! He himself had been tensed and stressed for almost a month because of this woman's behavior, but still, he couldn't forget his love for Margy. He survives because he is trapped in the love of his former client.

"Yeah... I can't possibly do that, can I?" Margy said with a mischievous smile.

Uh... Oh! What is this girl thinking!
