He has loved a mystic woman, who have mystic characteristic, that is hard to believed with, in the modern times. Maybe it his destiny, to fall in love with her, no matter how their world and life style differs from each other. Love known no borders. Love is mysterious. Love is powerful.
Dexter prepares himself to lay down in the bed, he is alone in his room, it is his old room. It is the place, he used to take a rest before, after his tiresome office work. It is good, his sister and his mother had kept it clean. His things are all intact in his room, his books, his guitar, his old cloths, and other personal things. When he opens his cabinet, he notices the old passbook still kept t
Dexter feels he is tired and sleepy after a long stressful day, he went to his room and prepare himself to rest. He first have look, with his mother, who is still watching the late television show. She is already a senior citizen, she open complain, she wakes up early in the morning, the reason, why she watches late shows so that, she will sleep late and would not wake up early.

He did not contradict nor object to what his mother is doing. It is so hard for a son, to tell his mother who is older, than him, to stop, what she is doing, she will not listen. She will also, will be having a hard feeling toward him. It is far better, to just let her otherwise it will not bring any harm, to any one of them.
