Hi, can someone please check the following sentences? Thank you.

Who does the reflection and forget her lover - Dewi or her mother?

I would add a comma after Indonesia and Mecca.

Dewi wants to forget about her lover but she brings along her mother to Mecca.

The first line very confusing?

NOT A TEACHER

To avoid any ambiguity, you might consider:

"With her mother, Dewi goes to Mecca to reflect on herself and to forget her lover, Adam."


NOTE: I suggest a comma after the word "lover." If there is no comma, it seems to imply that Dewi has more than one lover at the same time.
