After some time passed, Mona and Tom joined us and a girl offered us the drinks and we are started chit-chatting while having our drinks...

Mona: So, Mark, tell me when you are going to announce the marriage date...

(Mark immediately looked at me and I looked at Mona and explained my point of view.)

Anna: It's better after Ria's case gets solved, Mona...

Mona: Ria's case?

Anna: Yes, Mona, I wish all the issues get solved by the time of our marriage, so we can happily marry to each other...

Tom: Anna, you are totally forgetting Mark's answers!

He is more eager for the honeymoon and you should not delay it...

Mark: Anna is right, Tom...

Even I am thinking to get married after Ria's case gets solved…

Mona: Why are you relating Ria's case to your wedding..?

Actually, there is no relationship between your wedding and Ria's case, So why are you trying to postpone it?

Mark: Mona, please try to understand how I will live a happy life without solving Ria's case?

Mona: Mark, you should move on in your life and both of them are independent decisions, and coming to Ria's case, me and Tom are trying so hard and fast to get it solve as early as possible but that doesn't mean you should postpone your personal life events by linking it to Ria's case...

(After listening to Mona I agree with her, we should move on our lives but I don't want her to pressurized about our wedding, so I try to convince her.)

Anna: Please, Mona, please try to understand...

We are engaged, so it means half of our marriage is done and we will be happy to get married after Ria's case gets solved.

"So, what are you all talking about..?"

(A male voice interrupted our discussion, and we all looked at him and its Rubeus uncle. I immediately smiled by looking at him and Mona immediately pulled him into our circle. Meanwhile, Mark takes a step back to leave the place by looking at his uncle but I immediately hold his wrist to stop him, he looked at me to leave his hand and I strike my head as No and requesting him with my eyes to stay. He has no other choice to escape and stand beside me very coldly. I feel relieved the moment he listened to me.

Mona: Rubeus uncle, you came at the right time..!

Tell me, our personal life should not correlate to the issues happening in our life, right?

Rubeus uncle: Yes, Mona, I will totally agree with you and we should not correlate the issues to our personal life because the moment we think we solve the issues by that time we may lose our personal life...

Or we may lose some special personal relationship with our beloved ones.

(By finishing his words, Rubeus uncle gave a sharp look to Mark and I understand Rubeus uncle is indirectly saying it to Mark about their bonding...

Soon or later I should ask Rubeus uncle about the exact reason for his ignorance of Mark in his critical time. So I can help them to get close.)

Rubeus uncle: Sometimes, we may not be able to speak to our beloved once for the mistake we did by giving priority to issues...

Am I right, Mark?

(Now Rubeus uncle and Mark are face to face...

But Mark turned his head to another side to avoid Rubeus uncle's glare and didn't respond to him. But deep down of my heart I have a hope that Mark will accept his uncle because on the first day of Rubeus uncle Visit Mark worried about his uncle by holding me.)

Rubeus uncle: Ok, would you like to see the strawberry magic?

(My face immediately lightened up and looked at Rubeus uncle in surprise. Maybe this is the trick Mona told me before about the strawberry trick which always used by Rubeus uncle to calm down Mark.

By finishing his words, Uncle showed his palm with one strawberry on his palm and offered it to Mark...

Mark turned his face slightly and looked at the strawberry in his uncle's palm and raised his hand to grab the strawberry from Rubeus uncle's hand. But Rubeus uncle closed his palm and hide his hand back to him...

Mark immediately turned his face to another side with anger...

I smiled by looking at Mark.)

Rubeus uncle: Okk, take it...

(Rubeus uncle immediately offered Mark but his palm is still closed..

Mark immediately turned and opened his hand like a kid and there are three strawberries in Rubeus uncle's palm...

I am surprised that how he gets 3 strawberries in his palm and there is no wonder, Mark, immediately grab the three strawberries and eat one instantly...

Rubeus uncle: Appreciate your uncle for his magic trick..!

(Mark immediately went and hugged Rubeus uncle very tightly and warningly...

I feel very happy by looking at them and I saw tears in Rubeus uncle when Mark is hugging him...)

Rubeus uncle: I am very sorry, my son...

Please excuse me this time...

I never repeat it again...

Ok?

(Mark tightened his grip on uncle as an acceptance and my eyes became wet by looking at them...

I never thought Mark will excuse his uncle this early, and I am sure Mark may feel emotional. Meanwhile, Mona tapped on my back as ok and even Mona can't control her tears by looking at them...

I wiped my tears with my hands and looked at Rubeus uncle...

What?

What's happening to Rubeus uncle?

I am shocked by looking at his face and particularly his mouth...

There is a Foam coming from his mouth, and he is closing his eyes and getting unconscious.
