@key_el43: The atmosphere in the living room that afternoon was peaceful at first. Warm tea steamed on the table, and Charlotte was focused on her book. But that peace shattered into pieces at least for Engfa when Sonya, their eldest daughter, cleared her throat softly with a face flushed red. "Mama, Mommy... Sonya wants to say something. Next week, Lookmhee's family is coming to the house. She... proposed to Sonya, and we’re planning to get married at the end of this year." _Thud._ Engfa, who was holding a teacup, froze instantly. The next second, she set the cup down with a thump that was a little too hard. Her eyes widened, staring at Sonya like her daughter had just announced she was moving to planet Mars. "Married?!" Engfa’s voice went up an octave. "Married how? Sonya, just yesterday afternoon Mama was still carrying you while you cried asking for a balloon! Why are you suddenly going to be someone’s wife?!" Charlotte immediately lowered her book, sighing as she watched the drama queen of the house start her meltdown again. "Engfa, calm down first..." Charlotte coaxed gently, trying to hold her wife’s hand. "I can't calm down, Mommy!" Engfa pouted, her eyes starting to well up from a mix of jealousy, shock, and sadness. "Our kids are growing up too fast! It feels like just yesterday this house was noisy because they were fighting over toys. Now? Sonya’s getting married, then she’ll pack her things, move out, and leave us? Then who will Mama miss when I miss her?" Sonya, seeing her mama start to get teary, immediately knelt in front of Engfa and held her hands warmly. "Mama... Sonya’s not going to forget Mama and Mommy. Sonya’s just moving houses, not moving countries. I’ll always be Mama’s daughter." Charlotte could only shake her head at Engfa’s overprotective yet emotional behavior. She rubbed Engfa’s back with full understanding. "Darling, listen," Charlotte said in her calm voice that always managed to calm the storm. "Our kids growing up is proof we raised them right. Sonya has found her happiness. Our job isn’t to keep her here forever, but to walk her to the gate of her new life with our blessing. Besides, you still have me here. I’m not going anywhere." In the middle of that touching, tear-filled moment, suddenly the sound of potato chips crunching loudly came from the sofa beside them. The youngest, Becca, was sprawled out casually watching the free drama unfold in front of her. Seeing her mama all sensitive, Becca’s mischievous soul that ran in her blood immediately couldn’t resist. "That’s right what Mommy said, Ma," Becca chimed in with an innocent face. "Besides, Mama’s being extra. Kak Sonya has to move out of the house anyway. It’s even better, the food budget at home will go down, Kak Sonya’s room can be my PS room. Also Ma, soon Kak Sonya will listen to her wife more than Mama’s nagging that’s as long as a train." "Becca!" Sonya snapped, glaring. "See, Mommy! You heard it yourself!" Engfa got even more hysterical (dramatically), immediately hugging Charlotte tightly. "Becca’s right! Sonya won’t listen to Mama anymore! Oh my God, my child is grown up..." Charlotte pinched Becca’s waist lightly, making the youngest yelp while giggling. "Becca, don’t stir Mama up. And you, don’t act so tough." Becca laughed smugly seeing her mama’s pouty face. But when she saw real tears actually falling down Engfa’s cheeks, and saw how Sonya looked at them with such deep, loving eyes, Becca’s laughter slowly faded. #charlotteaustin #engfawaraha #อิงล็อต #englot #wlw
