Tik .. tok . tik.
The clockwork sound on the wall echoed throughout the living room in Graham's mansion, the spacious room looked very quiet because the three men and two women inside just stared at each other in silence.
Ahem.
Kejora deliberately cleared his throat to melt the tense and stiff atmosphere between them.
"Uncle how are you? We haven't seen each other in a long time." Kejora tried to smile when he saw Aries and Mars staring at each other sharply.
"Good Uncle news, how about you? How many months is it?"
Gideon stared at the distended belly of Kejora, then turned to look at the belly of the woman sitting next to Kejora with a sigh. He never thought that his son had impregnated the daughter of the Graham family.
"My condition is good, and my gestational age is—"
"What do you need to come here?" Mars interrupts Kejora's words, because he does not want to see the bastard and Mr. Gideon linger in his mansion.
"Mars ...." Kejora stared intently at her husband for being disrespectful to Uncle Gideon and Brother Aries. "I'm sorry my husband, he is angry and disrespectful if not given the ration." Cheers while laughing.
Make the three people in the room, immediately look at Kejora with a different facial look. Mars looked at Kejora with a sharp gaze, Aries and Venus stared with confused faces, while Mr. Gideon was seen trying to hold back his laughter.
"I'm sorry I spoke wrong?" said Kejora when he saw the three people staring at him intensely.
"It's okay, Kejora." Gideon still held back his laughter. "So, Mr. Mars, we came here to see Mr. Aiden and Mrs Dila Graham, do they exist?"
Gideon wants to propose to Graham's daughter at Aries' request, after hearing a story from her son that she is pregnant with the successor to their extended family.
"Both of my parents don't exist." Answer Mars briefly, densely, and clearly.
Gideon sighed then looked at Aries who looked busy looking at the woman who was soon to be his daughter-in-law.
"If there's nothing else to talk about, you guys get the hell out of here." Smoothly remove Mars.
"What?" ask Aries with silent lips.
Gideon coded his son to talk to Mars about their goal of coming to Graham's mansion. And Aries who understood immediately looked at the man who became his eternal rival as well as his future sister-in-law.
"Master Mars Graham I came here to ask Venus to be my wife." Aries stares intensely at the woman who is currently pregnant with her child.
"What?" the strangulation of Mars and Venus together.
"Oh my goodness, it turns out that Mr. Aries is a reckless person as well." Mumbled Venus in heart with a puzzled face. "Didn't he come here to ask me for answers? Didn't propose to me?"
"So how's Miss Venus Graham? Will you be my wife?" Aries still stared fixedly at the face of Venus.
Venus who was asked was silent without being able to speak.
"No! My sister will never be the wife of a bastard like you." Mars said resolutely and his eyes full of intimidation to his interlocutors.
Making the atmosphere in the room again feel tense and cold.
"Honey .. The Aries man asked Venus, why did you answer?" Brisking at her husband.
"Kejora quiet!" mars said in the tone of voice as smooth as possible, so that Kejora did not offend and angry. Because Mars is afraid that if Kejora gets angry, the bird will be allowed to enter the cage.
"But dear—"
The Kejora fell silent as Mars looked at him with a sharp glare of eyes.
"Look, Mr. Mars, I, as a parent of Aries, apologize for my son's actions. And so I came here to propose Venus as a form of accountability for what Aries has done." Gideon said sincerely.
"We accept an apology from you, but I refuse if your son wants to take responsibility with my sister." Mars is very cold.
