How to Survive a Marriage?
I'm Minar. This is the love story of me and Sahat (and... my mother-in-law). Exciting. Annoying. Excited. At the same time very challenging. Plus the background of a large Batak family which is full of drama and assumptions, my stories often end up being ridiculous and almost making me frustrated. Moreover, my mother-in-law and I have different beliefs about love and happiness, especially when it comes to Sahat, our favorite.

When Harold learns that on all the other occasions the employers have not showed (he assumes there probably were no prospective employers) leaving Claude to consume the booze on his own, he decides to show Claude a lesson by spiking the bottle with castor oil. Complications ensue when Joe, Harold's friend, encourages him to skip work to attend the prize fight. What Joe doesn't tell Harold is that he tells his boss that Harold needs the day off to attend to the sudden death of his brother-in-law.
