My Naughty Uncle's
Mr. Harold is Fainting

"Harold?" pekik Bu Lidya after knowing who the guest was meant by Jimmy just now.

He watched as Mr. Harold looked more handsome than ever, in his expensive suit. Although the man actually felt very uncomfortable with the corset he used, but in order to support his appearance in front of the idol, he was willing to withstand the discomfort.

Mr. Harold got up from his sitting position then extended his hand to the woman, as did Nick. Nick salutes Ms. Lidya and sits down again after Ms. Lidya allows them to.

Not only them, the newly arrived Ze and Jimmy couple sat down after shaking hands with the two guests.

"What's this, Harold? Tumben," asked Bu Lidya while sitting on the sofa that was located right in front of Mr. Harold.

Mr. Harold smiled as he watched the beautiful face of Bu Lidya. Yes, even though at that time Bu Lidya only wore a negligee-style mother-mak, with makeup style. However, but to Lord Harold, that woman still looked so sweet just like she did a few tens of years ago.

"Ehm, I'm sorry if my arrival here bothers you, Lidya. But ...." Mr. Harold glanced at Nick who was sitting next to him. Suddenly he hesitated to express his wish to Bu Lidya.

Sir Harold's guts shrieked again. He was afraid of being rejected for the umpteenth time by the woman. However, it's already a responsibility. It was already right in front of the woman and to back down even it felt free.

Mr. Harold exhaled heavily then continued his words. "Actually I mean to come here to plead with you, Lidya."

Mr. Harold reached into the pocket of his suit and grabbed a small red jewelry box he had shown Nick at Villa. He opened the box and saw a gold ring with diamonds on it.

"It's special for you, Lidya," Mr. Harold handed the shiny little thing to Bu Lidya.

Bu Lidya's eyes were perfectly rounded. Even though he already knew that the man had feelings for him. However, Ms. Lidya did not expect that the man still harbored the feeling to this day.

"A-are you serious, Harold? But ... didn't you already know that I was your ex-Sister-in-law" said Bu Lidya.

"Yes, I know. But I have never disputed that," replied Mr. Harold confidently.

Bu Lidya was silent for a moment without wanting to take the ring. He watched Mr. Harold closely, then after that Bu Lidya's gaze turned to Ze who was sitting not far from him.

"How's this, Ze?" asked Bu Lidya with a confused face.

Ze threw his warm smile to Bu Lidya. "Ze will always support whatever decision you make. As long as it's best for Mom," replied Ze who was still holding Jimmy's hand.

"Look it up, Harold. Can I have a few days to think about it? I need to talk to Ze, because he's your son. Yes, although I actually have full rights to my choice, but still I need his opinion," said Bu Lidya.

Mr. Harold exhaled heavily. Again he had to swallow the bitter pill because for the umpteenth time he was rejected again by the woman. Yes, Mr. Harold knows, that's just Bu Lidya's excuse. He had already memorized the woman's rejection style.

After being given time to think, a few days later the woman would definitely say no to him. Mr. Harold smiled wryly then pulled back the pretty ring and put it in his pocket.

Ze could clearly see the disappointment that appeared on Mr. Harold's face. So do Jimmy and Nick, they know that Mr. Harold was disappointed at the time.

"Mom, why not just accept it!" pekik Ze half-whispered to Bu Lidya.

"Mom still hesitates, Ze!" reply Bu Lidya also with half a whisper.

"Ah, Mother!" annoyed Ze while bending his face.

Suddenly Mr. Harold got up from his sitting position then smiled wryly looking at Bu Lidya. "Yes, that's it. Looks like I have to go home now, Lidya. Because I still have a lot of work to do" said Mr. Harold.

Mr. Harold invites Nick to follow him immediately and Nick complies. Nick says goodbye to Lidya, Jimmy and Ze then rush after Mr. Harold who had walked to the outside terrace.

"Ah, Mother why rejected anyway," said Ze who was still upset with the decision of his mother.

"Mom didn't refuse, Ze. I only asked for a few days to think" said Bu Lidya trying to defend himself.

When the two women were arguing, suddenly from the outside came the sound of Nick's cry for help to Jimmy and they rushed to the front yard.

"Jimmy! Help me, Mr. Harold fainted," cried Nick from outside.

"What?!" squeak them in unison.
