1st Person POV:
Horror is written in his mother's face as I mention my parents name.
I feel the tension in the atmosphere, as I see the coldness in her eyes.
Lim: ( tries to change the subject) you know my mother is really strong and independent, she even raise and love me even without my father helping her.
Vanessa: ........
Lim: Mom..... Are you okay?
Vanessa: Yes, I'm fine just a little bit shock.....
Lim: Phew.... That's a relief I thought you don't approve our relationship together.
Vanessa: It's not like I don't approve okay, I just don't want to hurt your feelings....
But I think they are right, you should just listen to Courtney's parents.
Besides both of you are still young.....
Lim: ....
Mom, how can you say that you were just fine earlier......
Vanessa: It's just it doesn't feel right....
Lim: You know what mom, we will just go and start our own life.
we are not welcome here anyway.
They walk out in the room while holding each others hand.
Vanessa: Just let me explain.... I am you're mother I know what's best for you...
I don't want to hurt you ...
Lim: There is no need for your explanation mom, it's already clear to me that you don't want us to be together.
