A Night in November in London
It was a night with rain in downtown of London; an old woman is having her gin, sitting in the pub next to window where she can saw Thames River clearly.
 She checked her watch and it’s telling the time at 8:30 PM, her watch looks like an old military watch, which she wore it since war when she enlisted to be a sniper of the army.
 She was a woman with long grey hair, her right eye was closed but yet she still saw everything clearly with her only left eye.
 She saw her reflection on her watch, touching at her right eye; think about how she lost it.
 It was a woman who was a very good ballerina when she was young that cause a loss of her right eye, someone who has been twisted by the dark side and turns to a cold-blooded assassin, she used to know her since she was married to a respected man but yet she had to fight with her, and yet that fight cause her right eye to lost and blind permanently.
 Her name was Amélie Lacroix.
 The old woman still remember that name until today, she was not a same person before that mission in Egypt that Miss Lacroix shot her right eye off.
 Everybody thought that she was already dead in that mission, but she’s not.
 “Hmph, lucky that it’s just my synthetic eye.” The old woman said to herself.
 “Thinking about the past again, Ana?” A voice can be heard behind the old woman.
 Then the man with grey short hair comes to sit opposite to the old lady, he looks real old, old enough to be great-grandfather to someone, yet he looks stronger than his age, just like he would have strength of a man in age of thirties, ordering a beer after he sits on the chair.
 “You’re late, Jack.” Old woman talks to the man.
 “I don’t want to run, Ana. I’m not on a mission. You know this is just an old friend having a drink together.” An old man speaks and smiled to a woman.
 Old woman giggled a little and then said “Right, that would be a lot faster.”
 “Yes, but still not fast as the DJ or Tracer.” Old man smile a little bit, and then the waiter gives him a bottle of Newcastle beer.
 “Ha, talk about Tracer, she reminds me of my daughter, Fareeha.” Old woman said to the old man.
 “Why? How?” An old man asked her.
 “Do you know that Lena is already married to Emily?” Ana asked him.
 “Yes, I heard, Ana. She actually invited me to her wedding, but I was on a mission in Diego Garcia, that Doomfist boy was causing a lot of trouble down there and someone just hired me so I need to take care of it.” Jack responds to Ana.
 “Ahh Talons, our dark side. I wonder how many of their fanatics left in this world, I know they couldn’t cause this world a trouble again like they used to do, but these guys would interrupt peace that would not be their last soon.” Ana said and smile, closed her left eye and then have a sip of her gin in a glass.
 “So what’s with Pharah, Ana?” Jack asked; reminds her of what she wants to speak.
 “Oh, that.” Ana then lay down her glass of gin and then continue her topic.
 “Ziegler just proposed my daughter to marry her.”
 Jack’s eyes now turns bigger, lay down his bottle of beer on the table and asked Ana that “When?”
 “The Halloween.” Then Ana raise her glass of gin, sending signal that she wants another.
 “I thought you were opposed them, Ana. What makes you change your mind?” Jack asked.
 “My age.” Ana answered Jack and then look into his eyes.
 Jack seems to be surprised a bit to see her answer and reaction and said “I thought you are very protective of your daughter.”
 “Yes, Jack I still do, but her happiness is my happiness, it’s every mother’s happiness to see their child be happy and found someone they love.” Ana said it after receive her new glass of gin.
 “And I thought you are religious.” Jack said to her.
 “No, not that religious, Jack.” Ana said to him while giggled and then take a sip of her new glass of gin; “If I really do, I wouldn’t to the job that many men in this world would like to do and drinking this. I’m the protector, not the preacher.”
 “I already let her down many times not letting what she wants to do, Jack, and you know, the biggest mistake I’ve made with Fareeha is not letting her enter the Overwatch, so I’m not gonna make the same mistake again.”
 Jack surprised of what he heard, yet he smiled in happiness, and Ana smiled in the same way.
 “Look, Jack. The world has passed the age that the robots are equal as human, if I’m gonna opposed my daughter or Doctor Ziegler for being gay, then I’m a person of dark age, not the future age.”
 “They are very happy together; I can clearly see it, Jack. I know that the first time I caught them dating I was not prepared and a bit opposed of what they then but then….” Ana then drinks her gin a lot.
 “Then what?” Jack asked, finished his first bottle of beer and orders another.
 Ana then laid her gin on a table and continue the conversation; “Then you realized that Fareeha is a strong woman, and Ziegler is never let anyone down, in any duty or mission we gave her.”
 “And what’s your response when Angela proposed Fareeha?” Jack asked her.
 “Well, that time is the time I realized I should mend my mistake, that Halloween, Ziegler came to my house, brought me some present and asked my Fareeha for a date, as I heard my daughter speak when she knew that Ziegler is gonna come, I was having conversation with Ziegler on the phone a week before, saying that don’t let my daughter down, and when they both is going to be out for track or treat, I saw Ziegler down on her knees, and picks up the ring and smiled with tears on her face, and asked my daughter to marry her before my eye.”
 Jack smiled, feels warm in his heart to hear the story, asking Ana that “So what you said to them?”
 Ana smiled and continues; “I smiled, and then go to where they are standing, touching their shoulder and say this;
 Fareeha, just accept her proposal. I know you want it, I know you love her. I’m not gonna get any younger and so my time is running out, but you deserve this happiness, it’s been a long time since I saw that you are interest in Ziegler before your first date, I’ve made many mistakes by opposing you so many things, and many I’ve regret today but it needs to be stopped. And Doctor, I know you can take a really good care to her, please make her feel happy the way you do, and if I caught you cheated on my daughter, you know that I will return you your Biotic Sniper in an unpleasant way, which I believe you know what would happened.
 And then Fareeha hugged me, tightest I ever received from her in my whole life, I know that time that I made the right choice, I have not seen her happy like that liked decades since I opposed her joining Overwatch, she did cried that night, and me too, but it’s joyful tears, that time I know my daughter forgives me everything and our relationships are back as the same as she was a child and I was a young mother.”
 Jack starts to have a little joyful tear on his eyes, wipes out his tears and said “You did the right thing, Ana. I would do the same if I was you.”
 “Well, after that, I hugged Mercy, and said to her that
 I know I’ve been rough lately for you and not listen to you about using your weapon, but please let me say this; welcome to my family, Angela.
 And she starts to hug me back for few moments, and then both are out together, so I then came back to the kitchen continues doing dishes.”
 The pub door was opened when Ana finished her sentence, two women walked into a bar, one was wearing long trench coat, free her blonde hair by putting off her hat, another lady then take off her glasses, revealing the Eye of Horus Tattoo beneath her right eye.
 Jack saw both ladies walking into the bar, so he gives hand sign for them to notice.
 Both ladies then walk towards where Jack and Ana sitting, and they both dragged the chair to sit.
 “Hi, mom. Hi, Jack.” The girl with tattoo below her right eye said to Ana and Jack, before hugged her passionately.
“Hi, Madame Amari. Hi, Agent Morrison.” A blonde lady greeted them.
 “Haha just in time, ladies. Ana just finished talking about the Halloween.”
 Ana laughed a little and said “Hahaha, Jack. You just spoiled them! Yes, I just did, Fareeha. Oh, and Angela, stop calling me Madame Amari, just called me Ana.”
 Fareeha and Angela then smiled to know that she fully accept for what she is, knowing that after this time she would never be disappointed of her mother’s decision again.
 “By the way, congratulation, ladies. I wish you all happiness of this world.” Jack said to them.
 “Danke, Jack.” Angela said to Jack.
“Thank you, Jack.” Fareeha supports.
 Then the beep just alarmed from the right arm pocket of Jack’s shirt, then he said “I have to go now, ladies. Take care.”
 “A mission?” Ana asked.
 “No, pick up my dog at Pets Hotel.” Jack said to them, “His name is Robbie.”
 Three ladies smiled, and then Ana said that “Old habits die hard, right Jack?”
 “Yes, I know he’s still lurking somewhere, but he’s still my friend, that’s why I name my dog after him.” Jack said to her.
 “Will you come to my home for Christmas?” Fareeha asked Jack.
 “Absolutely, Pharah, and I hope to saw you there too, Mercy.” Jack answered.
 “We all but Talons will be there, Jack. Just don’t be on a mission that time then.” Ana said to him.
 “I hope, but I’ll clear my schedule then.” Jack got off the table; lay the money on the table, but then Mercy returns him his money.
 “I’ll pay you, Jack. Keep it” Mercy said to him.
 Jack nodded to Mercy, and then rushes to the door and opened it, but before he leaves, he turns to Ana and said “I love you, Ana.”
 Ana smiled and responded “I know.”
 Then Jack leaves the bar, left three ladies to have their drink and have their conversations.
