Will I Be Able To Survive?
Second Born
It was the day Irene became the big sister.
For the first time she realized that she is not the little baby of the house anymore. There is someone else now.
Everyone were so happy because they were blessed by the second child.
Marinette was healthier than Irene. She was like duck eating everything her mother gave her. Irene learned eating from Marinette.
Irene always wondered how could she eat the hole day like a piggy!!

Mr. John Louis (Father)
I don't know.
Mr. John Louis (Father)

Mr. John Louis (Father)
I told her that I was busy for a while so...
Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
What did she say?
Mr. John Louis (Father)
She said to finish the work asap.
Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
Let's go!!
Mr. John Louis (Father)
What-
Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
Yeah, she is the grandmother. Definitely, she is missing her grandchildren's presence.
Mr. John Louis (Father)
Maybe-
Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
C'mon, at least believe her. She is your mother not a stranger. You gave all the money for their maintenance, and now you are scared to go and face them? Why?
Mr. John Louis (Father)
It's not like that. I trust my mom.
Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
You should do it, Honey.
Mr. John has his own reason for the hesitation he felt. Actually, Mrs. Betty was the girl chosen for his elder brother by their mother. But since the elder one never liked her and the younger brother fell for her, they both decided to tell it to their mother. The mother was against it.
On the other hand, Mrs. Betty fell for Mr. John too the first time they met each other. So, she went to her grandma and told about her feeling. Her grandmother really cherished her a lot. That's why she tried to talk about it with Mrs. Linda Louis. But Mrs. Linda was so stubborn and refused the proposal.
Mr. John was depressed about his mother's decision, but he never lost hope. Whenever he wished for something his mother was bound to give him because he was also stubborn just like his mother.
One day, he promised in front of everyone that he will marry Mrs. Betty without discussing it with his mother. Since that day Mrs. Linda was furious with her son that she didn't give financial support for the marriage.
Mr. John worked hard and finally at 13th October 2000 he got married to the girl he loved from the bottom of his heart.
Since the son was capable of earning money for his own marriage, Mrs. Linda agreed, but she was not happy at all.
She asked for so much gifts from the girls' family, but they were normal middle class family. They couldn't afford all the gifts she asked for. So, they just talked to Mr. John.
Mr. John became furious and confronted his mother. Finally, Mrs. Linda just accepted her loss in front of the stubbornness of her son. After all, he was the youngest one of the family.
But Mrs. Linda has always been a greedy old woman, who only cherished money instead of anything else.
Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
*** In mind***
I know it's tough. But I'll pass also this.💪
Mr. John Louis (Father)

Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
Of course.
Mr. John Louis (Father)
Okay, then let's go for shopping tomorrow.
Mrs. Betty Louis (Mother)
Alright!!
