"This old man could not have survived any longer and also never forced your life choices before."
Martin took a deep breath, staring one by one at all the children he had deliberately collected after dinner in the living room including his daughter-in-law Hanna.
"However, the more left the direction you are heading is very far from what should be achieved. Daddy thinks it's time before it's too late" he continued.
"Daddy pliiss, this great man will live a long life believing in me," said David their youngest son who always appeared cheerful, he rose from his seat to Martin's chair and massaged his shoulders gently.
"Nobody knows the age limit that God has set for all of us" he replied, glancing at Michael, who was also looking at him.
"Just get to the point, Daddy, what do you want to say?" Michael began to look impatiently at the gurgle of his father.
Moreover, Hanna was also sitting next to him making him uncomfortable. The sacred marriage, which still felt fake, continued to disturb his mind, and strange requests from his wife began to unsettle.
"Give me a successor for the Delopez family" he said, staring intently at his eldest son.
Michael and Hanna's eyeballs were rounded, they looked at each other for a moment and then turned their gazes in all directions.
"Dad, marrying him alone has made my pride go down. Especially having a child from him. No!" michael said firmly glancing at his wife.
Hanna just nodded to hear it. Suddenly his heart ached and felt humiliated.
"Laura, prepare yourself next month the Santiago family will propose to you for their only child."
Martin continued his ultimatum regardless of the protests of his first child.
The girl was aghast for a moment, immediately then bowed resignedly. Among Martin's three children, Laurel was the most submissive.
"And you're David, it's time to come back. Focus on the future and help take care of the company there after completing your studies," he said, looking at his youngest son, who is now sitting back in his chair.
"Actually David prefers here, but if Daddy's wishes like that what you can do" he said no less resigned than his brother Laura he sipped his favorite coffee late.
"And you're Hanna, help your husband run the company. Evaluate and supervise each incoming contract, whether it is in accordance with the procedure or there are some partners who are starting to misbehave."
"Okay, sir." she replied briefly still bowed.
"Just call Daddy now you're part of this family" he stared expectantly.
Soon the old man gave his wife a code to push her wheelchair into the room.
However, the deft David takes over he pushes the father to his room next to Michael's. Since Martin's return from the hospital, they have moved his room downstairs to reduce the mobility of the father, who is unlikely to have to climb up and down stairs.
And about the newlyweds room that was right next to her, it was because the father who asked her still did not believe in Michael. He was afraid something might happen between them.
"Honey, that woman doesn't deserve to give offspring to this family. Their marriage is fake, right? Just end it! We can find good, classy women who are on par with us, right?" Belinda could not wait to open her voice as they were already inside the room.
"We already have everything, possessions, positions, social standing for what to choose women who are equal to us? Didn't you think that the woman might have an ambition to master everything?" reject the husband.
"Let's not forget, the woman could also be ambitious with all the luxuries in front of her eyes."
"But he has no connections, even if he can master everything he still needs Michael. And I've been with him for a few years, I know his personality quite well."
"Call Michael here" he ordered his wife.
"More and longer I become more and more clueless of the direction of your mind" said Belinda resigned as she rose to the door.
He met his eldest son who was about to enter his room.
"Daddy called you," he said, seeing the child clingy.
The child who often makes problems while in college, the child who always tries to cover up his mistakes. He can no longer do much about his new life.
"Maybe Martin is right, it's time to release them into their own way of life" he said.
"What's up, Dad?" michael asked when he was in his room, followed by his mother in the back.
"If within a month your wife is not pregnant, David will continue his studies here. And ... it could be that he will also help at the company," he said without looking at the window.
"Dad, is this all right? What the hell is daddy after? Why should it be so fast? And why should he?" michael's Protest.
"Color's the only one who can stop your dark side. Only he will accept you for who you are. And with you having a wife and kids, daddy hopes you'll be more responsible for your actions."
"But I ...."
"Daddy does not accept any reason, please come out." he said.
Michael clenched his hands in annoyance, then walked out by slamming the door.
The two men sighed deeply, Martin's eyes looking teary after the departure of his son.
"Have a rest you've worked hard today" Belinda said, helping her husband lie in bed.
"How can I do this?" tanyanya hesitated grasping the fingers of the wife.
"We'll see if that woman will have a good influence or vice versa for Michael or the company."
"Yes right, we can only wait for the time to answer."

Hanna was pensive in her room, as Reyhan's shadow appeared. This afternoon he saw the young man's reaction when he received the invitation letter Sinta brought from a distance.
"The pain won't be long, Rey. Gradually you will definitely forget me, whether Sinta who managed to shift my position or you open your heart to others in the end, I do not care. As long as it makes you happy, I'm happy" Hanna said in her heart.
He deliberately did that to make the young man retreat.
"You broke with Yukka?"
Michael suddenly appeared from behind the door, he had just read an email from Hanna this afternoon.
"Yes, there are some things that don't fit the contract."
"What's? Wasn't he the company you worked for before? And why not talk to me first?"
"So from that, I know exactly what to do."
"I don't want this to affect the company especially if you have to pay a fine" he said.
"You are calm that they will return the funds later" said Hanna confident.
Michael glanced with his tail in the direction of Hanna who was facing his laptop. Then he put his body on the bed.
"From tomorrow I will come to the office please tell your people to prepare the room" he said without turning his head.
"Don't Daddy trust you and then you act out of my control! Remember, I am the leader of that company no matter what happens there must be known and approved by me!" michael stood up again.
"He not only believed but told me to help and supervise the company. You don't realize the meaning of watching? That's a sign that your father can't trust you to run the company himself" Hanna said.
"Then, you think who's been running the company? Keep it stable even if the main owner isn't there?"
Hanna didn't answer she headed to the sofa and laid her body there and pulled the blanket over her entire body.
"I'm not done talking!" michael pulls his wife's blanket.
"Yes it's you Mr. Michael, but I'll stay in the office. I don't want to just stay home. One more thing, the project in my parents' village, let me take care of everything. Tomorrow you just prepare the documents, will switch the function of what the building is like. Or it's just your fad of using company funds to satisfy that arrogant ego."
Just as she was about to pull the blanket back, both of her shoulders were grabbed by her husband and dragged towards the bed.
Michael remembered the words of his father when he was about to enter his room earlier.
"Aawws! Freelance Michael!" she tried to shake her husband's hand.
Then the man pushed Hanna's body into the bed, stretching his wife's hand upwards. His body was already above that woman.
"It turns out you are like this, fearless. This is what keeps me curious, most women will bend their knees to me. But you are always challenging. Now let's see how far you've got" she said, taking Hanna's shirt off.
"Lepaaaassa!" his yell.
"Hey! I'm your husband, don't let Daddy hear and come here!" she shut Hanna's mouth.
