(Christine was devastated when he found out that Jasmine had left. He pleaded with his mom to contact her but she said she couldn't reach her. His mom was mad at him for what he had done and restricted him from coming to the house. Amelia had asked him to send her over to his parents. She was also mad at her daddy for sending her mommy and sister away. After Amelia left for her grand parent's, Christine slipped in to depression and didn't leave his house. He stopped going to work. This went on for weeks until Martha (his mom stopped by to visit him and she was not happy to see his condition.) Martha: You need to get your life together. Christine: welcome mom. Martha: Why is this place a mess? Christine : I don't know, it looks fine to me. Martha: You can't be like this. You need to take charge of your life. Christine:I don't want to . Martha: If not for you do it for your daughter, do it for me and your dad. Christine : This is the second time she left me . Martha : That's her lost then. Christine : No mom, it's my lost. Jasmine doesn't get angry easily and I managed to push her away yet again. Martha: I'm glad you realise your mistakes. Now you have to see a doctor ,take care of your daughter, start work and then we can start looking for her. Christine: Thank you so much mom

Peter : Girl you need to think about it. Jasmine : Just shut up and keep driving. (Weeks went by and everything was okay . Of course with the little quarrels every daybut that was normal in thier house.)

(Weeks turned into months and it was a year and Jasmine had to go to India for business and she was nervous. A woman screamed her name and she hurried to her and hugs her . The woman is Jasmine's mom and her name is Zoya.) Zoya: Look at you so skinny. You've lost so much weight . Have you been eating at all? Jasmine : Hi mom? Nice to meet you too. Hi dad. (She hugs her father Paul) Paul: How was your flight. Jasmine : It was exhausting. Paul : Let's get you home so you came rest. Zoya : Yes, let's go home I made your favourites myself . (They went home and had dinner together. Her mom was so happy to see her that she slept in her room that night. The meeting would last two days but she would stay for a week. She was not to be disturbed until her meetings were over. It was a rule her mom put in place around the house. After her meetings were over, she went with her mom everywhere) Jasmine : I've not seen grandma since I came. Zoya : She's been busy. Jasmine : I know she doesn't want to see me but I don't care. Grandma : You don't care because am not your grandmother . (Jasmine turns to walk away but her mom pulls her back and asks her to greet grandma and she does unwillingly. Grandma just hissed and walked away.) Jasmine : Mom, you see she didn't respond. Zoya : That's because you didn't want to greet her earlier. Jasmine : I presume she's still cold and mean towards you? Zoya : She's opening up a bit. Jasmine : I know that's not true but I have faith in you and I know you can change her mind about you. Zoya: Sometimes I feel like giving up. It's been so many years and she's still like that towards me. Jasmine: Dad loves you so much and you're a good person. That's why you're still here and one day everything will work out. I pray for you every day and I know that the Lord has not forgotten about you. So I want you to be happy from now onwards and don't let grandma get to you . You are also a grandma and I'll let the children visit when they're on vacation. Zoya :People say I love you more than James and it's true. You know how to make me feel better . You know how to make everyone feel better and don't ever change. It's a rear gift. I loved you ,I love you and I'll always love you. Jasmine : Mom this speech givesme the feeling that you're leaving me. Zoya : Am going nowhere. Your dad and I are stuck together like glue and grandma will have to deal with it. Jasmine : That's my mom speaking. We're not giving up, did you hear that Grandma ? Zoya: Stop that Jasmine.
