"I've told you that you're better suited to the company here, Mark," said Mr. Wilson.
"I'm considering staying here" Mark replied.
Mark was talking to the Wilson family. Those who asked Mark to return to Magda's residence.
"Mark has spent too much time in London. He definitely needs to adapt to the environment here" Mrs Wilson said.
"Aren't you guys planning to have kids?" ask Mr. Wilson.
Magda and Mark exchanged glances. The atmosphere becomes awkward when they talk about the child.
"Ah, what are you talking about? Yesterday we were just talking about Justin's marriage when he told me to have a child" Magda replied clumsily.
"Why indeed? You are young enough to have children. Moreover, Justin has grown up, you will not be overwhelmed if you take care of the child again" said Mr. Wilson.
Magda. Can not be denied, actually he wants a reasonable relationship like other husband and wife. However, he can understand that Mark still has not accepted himself as a wife. Mark still considers her a sister-in-law.
"What if Justin starts getting involved in the company? I think he's ready to be the successor." Mark tried to shift the subject. He was careless whenever they talked about the child in front of him.
"certain. I've also been thinking about putting Justin in the company" Mr Wilson said.
"In my opinion, first direct the marriage between Justin and Ellena. Or at least they were bound by the engagement" Mrs Wilson said.
"Justin wants to get married?" Mark who had not known about their plans towards his nephew felt shocked.
"I forgot I haven't told you yet." Mr. Wilson seemed to dislike hearing Mark's question. He remembered Mark's insolent attitude that did not want to be present when he asked him to come to see the Russell family.
"We're planning to match Justin to Ellena, the daughter of the Russel family. About two weeks ago, we had a meeting" Magda explained.
Mark just remembered he once refused his assistant's request to come. He was spending time with Jessy.
"But Justin is also the son of your brother. You should have paid more attention to it. A father may not know anything about his son" Wilson quipped.
"Honey, Mark must also have a lot of busyness. Not all meetings we have are on schedule." Mrs Wilson tried to mediate.
"Did Justin agree with your plan?" ask Mark.
"What are you asking again? Marriage has become a tradition in our family. Justin would have accepted the decision the family had given him!" firmly Mr. Wilson. The old man did not seem to want to be denied at all.
Mark pressed his fingers. He hates traditions that make no sense at all. Getting married without considering the feelings of the person being married is a crime. He also still feels traumatized by his past which was forced to marry in place of his brother.
"What matchmaking is something to do? Let Justin choose whomever he wants as his life partner" Mark said.
"Parents definitely expect the best for him. Despite the matchmaking, the candidate we chose was also not careless." Mr. Wilson was increasingly dislikeful of Mark's response.
"I'm home ...."
The call from Justin who had just come home stopped their conversation. He casually stepped over to the people who were there and greeted them one by one.
"Oh, Uncle Mark is here" said Justin aware of Mark's presence there.
"Justin, it's rude! You have to call him Daddy" Magda said as she glared at Justin.
"My Daddy's name is Michael, Mom. He died a long time ago" Justin said.
After shaking hands with the parents, Justin then headed to the top floor of his room.
"This is the result because since childhood Mark paid less attention to it. Justin didn't want to call you dad" said Mr. Wilson.
"That's no problem. I am indeed his uncle, not his father," Mark casually said.
Magda felt the atmosphere in her home was not conducive. If it goes on, her father and husband will have a longer cok check. Mark followed Magda's will and the two of them entered the room.
"Can you give more to my father? He's just an old man" Magda pinta.
"If I hadn't given up, maybe 15 years ago our marriage would never have happened" Mark said.
Magda sighed. "Please, don't keep provoking dad's anger. I don't know anymore how to cover up our charade all this time."
"If Magda's sister is tired, it's better to end it" said Mark lightly.
Magda chuckles. Mark underestimated the problems they were facing. "You know the consequences against my father?" tanyakanya.
"I know!" firmly Mark.
"Haha ... You're not gonna win against him, Mark. I'm just that his daughter can't beat my own father" Magda said.
"I didn't expect to win. I just want to do what I want, not what your father wants" Mark said.
"Your career will be ruined, Mark. Don't fuck with my dad!"
Mark was silent for a moment. He did know how influential the Magda family was in the business world.
"I'll be in Justin's room for a second" said Mark.
The man seemed unwilling to continue his conversation with Magda.
Tok tok tok tok
Mark knocked on Justin's door before opening it. The nephew was playing his basketball in bed.
"Tumben Uncle is here!"
Justin spoke to Mark. He did not really care about the presence of his uncle there even fun playing his own ball.
"I heard that your basketball club is participating in a national tournament" Mark said.
Justin stopped playing. He got up from his bed and sat on the edge of the bed facing the uncle. Just this time there are members of his family who care about his favorite hobby. "Where does Uncle know?" tanyakanya.
"I watched all your games, Justin. Through the man I told you to record it."
Although somewhat disappointed the uncle did not watch in person, but he was still happy because there were people watching the game.
"Later, if your team goes to the final, I'll watch it live" Mark said.
Justin smiled broadly. "Is there a prize if my team wins?" tanyakanya.
Mark seemed to think for a moment. "How about a special edition Nike shoe signed by Kobe Bryant?"
Justin was left agape with the gift that Mark had offered. "I hold onto his words, I definitely win and get his shoes!" he said with confidence.
"Your game is very good, Justin. You should have signed up for the basketball team. If it's a problem with the procedure, I can help."
Justin grieving. "Does Uncle expect my name to be crossed off the family card? Opa would definitely scold me all out," Justin said. Just thinking about Grandfather's anger was already terrifying.
"You have to make a decision, Justin. Otherwise, you'll be sorry for a lifetime" Mark said.
When he spoke like that to Justin, he felt like he was insinuating himself. If he had dared to refuse their will, his life would have been happier.
