My brother, my destiny
Fried Rice
"Ecchem..." Jacob cleared his throat hard. It had been almost an hour they were sitting in the living room, but absolutely no one wanted to start a conversation first. Jacob and Gemini even delayed leaving for work.
"So, what exactly was the point of you coming here?" Jacob asked coldly and flatly.
"I want to apologize. Apologizing for everything I've done to you" Mark looked down guilty.
"Which mistake? The mistake of taking my ex-lovers and proving they're not the women I deserve? Or is it a mistake to tempt my wife and prove that she is a faithful and kind woman?" Jacob smiled mischievously at his sister.
"For everything. Anyway all my fault" Mark was annoyed with his brother's smile which he thought was so annoying.
"That's Mark, forget it all. I know you did all that because you felt rivaled by me especially in terms of Daddy's affection. Daddy was guilty of hurting you and your late mother, but now maybe Daddy's already sorry in hell and begging for forgiveness with your Mother in heaven, we never know. I've never been angry or hated you, just a little dislike. So forget it all" Jacob smiled and pulled his wife into his lap.
"I-I'm sorry too! Sorry to tease you and intend to ruin your household" Luisa also opened her voice.
"It's not necessary either. I know what you've been like as long as we've been friends. What you're doing is all at the behest of this selfless man" Jacob pointed to Mark.
"Geez, so all of our apologies aren't accepted?" Mark protested rubbing his nose with his index finger.
"It's not unacceptable, but it's not necessary" Gemini said.
"You're a really good woman, Gem. It's only fitting that this cold man is so easy for you to conquer" Luisa smiled sincerely at Gemini.
"Hey, you don't know how patient I am to face him. It's only been two months, so don't tell me I've made it" Gemini pinched Jacob's nose until the man grimaced.
"Are you really going to Italy?" Jacob asked curiously.
"really. It was Luisa who wanted to go home to see her father, but after I thought about it I didn't want to lose this woman. That's why I want to come with him if he can't stay" Mark pulled Luisa to get closer to him.
"When are you getting married?" Tanya Gemini.
"Eitherway. I should try to get his father's blessing" Mark looked at Luisa softly
"Married as soon as possible, do not just want the fun" said Gemini to his sister-in-law.
"certainly Gem. You take it easy" Mark unhesitatingly kissed Luisa's lips.
"Luisa, you said you wanted to learn how to cook fried rice, right? Come on, let's learn now. The recipe and the trick were very easy" Gemini got off Jacob's lap and pulled Luisa into the kitchen.
"Awhile, I called my aunt first to let her know that I was going to the store during the day" Gemini pulled over to contact Riska while Luisa waited.
"Here we go" Gemini approached Luisa and they began to prepare all the necessary ingredients and seasonings.
••••••••••
"Look at them, so sweet" Mark glanced at Luisa and Gemini who were busy in the kitchen.
"Luisa did all this for you. He never went straight into the kitchen since long ago, but now he's willing to do anything for you" Jacob smiled at his half-sister.
"No, it's for his dad. You didn't hear his father..."
"just reason. His father was just an excuse to cover up his intentions. Mark, I hope you're serious this time. Appreciate Luisa, lest you waste her" Jacob now looked seriously at his sister.
"I know, I will definitely be the best for Luisa. Ah yes, by the way you still want to find that girl?" Mark asked slightly leaning his body towards Jacob.
"I'm helping you figure out the truth, how? But not now, two more days Luisa and I have to go back to Italy. I have to focus on getting his father's blessing, only then do we plan to come back here or settle there" Mark suggested seriously.
"You just focus on your problem with Luisa. My problem is I can find people myself if I want to" Jacob looked back at Mark.
"Mark, come back here! Stay in this mansion again like before! My Mommy really wants to see you stay in this house, after all you're still Daddy's flesh and blood. All of Daddy's is also partly yours" Jacob persuades his stepbrother.
"No Jack. I want to live alone with Luisa, and for Daddy's treasure I don't need it. I've been comfortable and satisfied with what I have now" Mark smiled sincerely at Jacob.
"But El's position has nothing to replace. You're my only hope, I can't trust anyone for too long" Jacob asked, looking at Mark seriously.
"Don't me! There could be others who would believe it" Mark kept trying to turn down his brother's offer.
"Ah, you refuse to continue. What if I just destroy your company? Don't forget your company is still far below me" Jacob smiled slantingly threatening his sister.
"You! How dare you threaten me!" Mark pointed to his stepbrother's plow.
"Please choose! Go back home and change El's position, or you'll be your vagabond" Jacob leaves Mark for the kitchen.
"Jacob Leonathan back you!" Mark shouted furiously and ruffled his hair. I felt sorry for apologizing to her sister. Now he is even more depressed.
"What's wrong with her?" Tanya Gemini fed Jacob a spoonful of fried rice made by Luisa.
"CHILDREN..." Jacob chipped out all the fried rice that had gone into his mouth. Luisa's face instantly turned moody.
"What's the matter, baby?" Gemini asked in annoyance.
"Not good" Jacob immediately poured a glass of water and gulped it down. Gemini just tasted the Luisa cuisine.
"Good God, this is delicious! Why would you say that?" Gemini pinches Jacob's arm.
"You see his face, it's so sad" Jacob laughed in satisfaction and walked away from the two women.
"Already Luisa, don't be heard. She had been such a prank lately" Gemini calmed Luisa down. Luisa just smiled wryly.
"Luisa I'm seriously this is delicious. Rarely can a westerner like you cook Indonesian fried rice like this" Gemini scoops the fried rice and feeds Luisa.
"This..this is my cooking?" Luisa asked in disbelief and went back to tasting her homemade food.
"certain Luisa. From that moment I just told you the steps, you alone arranged all the spices" Gemini patted Luisa's shoulder to encourage the woman.
"Thank you Gemini. I really can't believe this is my cooking" Luisa smiled happily.
"Yes, you spent it with your lover. Jack and I should get ready for work" Gemini leaves Luisa, who immediately calls Mark to accompany her.
