The Unconditional Love For My Uncle
Luke's fault

The saying goes, do not resist longing because longing is heavy. Not only heavy, resisting longing can also cause havoc. This is what happened to Luke.

After a month Nay left to finish college. Luke's condition is on the decline. At first, Luke was more silent as he continued to stare blankly at the scene before him.

But lately, Luke has been drowning himself in his work. Early in the morning, she had already left and had only returned after Alma and Chloe had fallen asleep. In fact, he prefers to stay at his office on the grounds his son and wife will be distracted if he settles in to get in.

"Mr Wallace, didn't you come home last night?" ask Victor Lane, one of Luke's trusted employees. The man saw his boss sleeping at his desk this morning in the same clothes as yesterday.

The employee feels guilty. He can sleep well and sleep at home while his boss is still struggling in the office with the laptop still on and even to sleep in his study. Indeed, lately their work is very much.

"Oh, Lane. I fell asleep apparently. Hehe. I'm working on the financial reports and plans we're going to put out to make Miss Rivers' project. Report, how? Done already?" ask Luke who has been sitting upright again and prepare to continue his work again.

Victor tilted his smile. He really felt bad for his boss. "A little more, Sir. I'll finish it now and in an hour, I'll leave it to you" he rushed to his desk.

Before Nay continued his studies, Nay and Luke were involved in a major project. They want to develop the Rivers Group even bigger. Luke doesn't want to let the project hang because he has to wait for Nay to finish his studies, so, as the head of planning, he will finish it, no matter what.

In addition, there was a reason why Luke insisted on completing the project. He wanted to shift his longing to Nay.

Until one day, Alma came to Otis at his house. "Sore, Brother,"

"Hey. How are you, Alma?" Otis hugged his sister and after that his head wobbled like looking for someone. "Where's Chloe?"

Alma responded coldly. "At home with the baby sitter,"

"I came here because I wanted you to know that Luke's been staying at his office for almost a week!" Alma shook her head as she closed both eyes restraining the emotions that had been held back so well. "Is that a lot of work? I mean, until he can't get home! It's the craziest thing that's ever happened in our household, brother!"

Otis exhaled and pulled his half-bald hair back. "Work is a lot but I don't know what caused him to spend the night at the office because as much work as he can take home his work and pass it on at home or he goes back home and continues that job is for tomorrow. Kanaya and Luke are indeed making a big project and this project is in danger of being delayed because Kanaya has to go to college and it looks like your husband is continuing this project alone. Honestly, it's a very big project."

Hearing the name Kanaya called, it made Alma's emotions become even more inflamed. "Nay again! Nay again! Why the hell, always have to be concerned with him! If it's like this, I might hate my own niece!"

"What you're talking about is my daughter, Alma. After all, your husband's position is under my daughter's. Once he makes a mistake, his career is over" Otis threatened.

Brother sister rarely fight even they protect each other and care for each other. Just this time, they had different opinions and threatened each other.

"I just want Big Brother to cut down on my husband's work point because after all I need my husband at home. As well as our son, he needs his father's presence!" Alma.

"Talk to both of you carefully without involving me. To be honest I have nothing to do with your household but you always drag me to interfere in your family matters. You are an adult and learn to solve your own problems! Just because I'm too focused on you, I'm putting my own daughter's feelings aside" Otis said.

Otis assumes this is all due to Alma's fault. Her sister was unable to take care of her husband properly, until Nay became the victim she is today.

"Sister Otis! Watch your talk, brother! Alright, if that's your will, I'll take care of my own life and I'm sorry that I've been troubling Brother all this time" Alma said heartbrokenly. He also left the house.

At the Rivers Group office,

An exhausted Luke attempts to finish report after report quickly. This was the only way he could forget about Nay for a moment.

"Mr Wallace, sorry to interrupt,"

"Lane, comein. What was? Any difficulties?" ask Luke.

Lane shook his head. "I've sent the draft report of the funds we need and which we will issue to your email and another, an email containing a proposal for cooperation to West Corporate. Kindly signed and re-checked, sir,"

Victor approaches Luke and shows him the email he sent. "I use VLane@cocomail.com for our internal reports and victorlane@rivers.com for proposals to West Corporate,"

Luke nodded and immediately checked Victor's email. They check it together and Luke corrects the incorrect words or numbers on the report and proposal. "It's okay, I'll sign it soon and I'll send it to West Corporate. Oh, this is a number that's been marked up, right?"

Victor nodded and Luke gave his thumb in appreciation to his ex-officer.

Shortly, Luke also affixed a signature on the document that he had changed the format and sent it back to the West Corporate leadership.

"May be penetrating," he hoped inwardly as he stretched his body.

When he finished his work, Luke decided to go home. She misses Chloe and her bed, maybe there's a little miss for Alma too.

"Victor, I'm going home first. Let me know if anything happens" Luke said.

Victor immediately stood up and saluted his superiors who were considered very loyal to the company. "Okay, Mr. Wallace. Have a good rest,"

Luke left his office feeling light and calm. He breathed, relieved. "May our dreams be achieved, Nay and after that, the people will enjoy the work of both of us,"

A smile had not disappeared from his face when Victor contacted him. "Wire, Master! Mr. Rivers, would like you to meet him right now!"

"Well, what's the problem? You sound so panicked! What's up?" ask Luke who immediately followed the panic.

"According to Mr. Rivers, Mr. Sean West is angry to see the proposal you sent this afternoon!" answer Viktor. His voice seemed to want to cry.

Luke was still digesting what his men were saying. "Calm down, Lane. I'm going to see Mr. Rivers right now,"

So Luke turned the iron wheel around and changed the direction of his goal.

Upon arriving at Otis' place, he could see the old man's face becoming fierce and wrathful. Just this time Luke saw the creepy face of his sister-in-law.

"Sister, Lane called me and, ...."

Otis throws some of the documents he has printed out toward Luke. "Whatever you're doing, Luke!"

Luke raised both his hands and protected his face from the onslaught of documents. The man picked up one of the fallen papers and read the contents of the document.

How shocked he was when he saw that it was not a proposal that should have been sent to West Corporate. "I-, this, ...? Is this what I sent Mr Sean West?"

"Where do I know! Why are you being so careless like this, Luke! You're sending Rivers Group's kitchen with the funds we need to work with West! It's just as natural as he's angry! He received two emails this afternoon. The first email, containing the cooperation proposal and the second email, our financial draft report! How shocked he was when he found out the mark up numbers you had made were over 100%! It's crazy!" exciting Otis. His chest rose and fell with anger and emotion.

"I can explain this to Mr. West, I'll be there right now" Luke said. I don't know what he was thinking until he made a fatal mistake like this.

Otis pointed his index finger at Luke's handsome face. "Wallace, the fate of your career is here. If you fail to obtain this cooperation, then I will not hesitate to fire you! No matter you're my sister-in-law!"

Luke swallowed his saliva roughly. "Ba-, fine. I'm going to solve this problem" Luke rushes out of the mansion and drives his vehicle at high speed. He'll see Mr. West that afternoon, too. "My life's fucked up without you, Nay,"
