The two adult male figures walked to the right and left of a young woman, through the crowded J.F. airport. Kennedy New York in the afternoon. The three have booked flights to San Francisco airport and will continue by land to Pleasanton - Jacob's house.
They decided to stay there for a while, getting away from the harshness of the city of California. Too tired, Roderick opted for a taxi instead of driving to Pleasanton for an hour.
"Where to sir?" Asked a taxi driver in front of the San Francisco airport.
"Del. Sol Ave, not far from Mc.Kinley Park?" Jacob asked to make sure the driver knew the location, and was answered with a steady nod from the man of Indian descent who smiled kindly at the three passengers.
The three of them were silent in their own reverie. Yesterday, very early in the morning, Jacob handed over the file to a friend who worked as a California district court attorney, but when he heard that Margy was missing and found that she was with Allison, he asked that the case file be temporarily held. Currently Margy is safe with him, he has asked for the case to be continued.
The latest information he got, at 10 o'clock today, Allison will receive a visit from the police for further investigation. Case closed for him. The death of Greg Richardson is resolved and the young woman who captivates his heart is within his grasp.
Maybe in two weeks or so, the trial of this case would start, and he was willing to bet that he would put Allison in prison for sure.
The only possibility he could not confirm was the truth of the young woman who was currently holding his hand tightly, willing to be his wife. Her home in Vista Del. Sol. hopefully to make Margy say "yes" when he proposes to her tonight.

A beautiful residence stands majestically and elegantly, the voices of the two residents shouting loudly, so that it manages to beat the chirping sounds of dozens of parrots in the house next to it. Vista Del. Sol, is located in Del. Sol. Avenue, California City, United States of America, is a beautiful, elite housing filled with a variety of colorful shady plants and trees which the developer directly maintains.
"Would you marry me?" Jacob asked with a flat tone and face, for the second time that morning Jacob proposed to Margy after a similar failed attempt the night before.
"Again ??" Margy replied without thinking. In fact, only fifteen minutes ago, the man in the dark blue pajamas proposed to her in the kitchen. Right now, only two steps from the previous proposal location, with the flat face and voice of Jacob proposing to her. "Can't you be more romantic in proposing to me? What kind of man proposes like that!"
"Last night?" Is Jacob's defense answer, "I propose to you with a candle light dinner!"
"Yes ... but last night you proposed to me on the initiative of Roderick, who gave you a step-by-step guide from the living room! You thought I didn't know!" Margy grumbled and walked away from the pantry chair neatly lined up in the kitchen room.
"But I'm the one!"
"So?" Asked Margy indifferently. The girl got bolder after finding out that a handsome, smart man who has a profession as a top lawyer is her number one fan. Jacob's been proposing her a few Times this days..
"Why are you so stubborn like this Margy, you used to be an innocent and obedient girl!"
"Yes, until you tarnish my innocence." Margy said without turning her head.
"Then what about my proposal?"
"Forget it! At least for now!" Shouted Margy in answer to Jacob's question as she climbed the stairs to her room.
Jacob cursed loudly, who knows what else he should try. Since last night his attempts to apply for Margy have always failed, as well as the pile of cases in his office that he always fails to understand.
"Maybe I'll give it to Roderick this time, at least I need a break after all this madness," he thought drinking down the bottled orange juice that Margy had been drinking.
"Hmm ... This juice tastes different!" Jacob muttered softly and held the juice pack in surprise.
"Your brain is crazy !!" Reply to a man who walked up to him. "At least don't be outrageously stupid like this because of Margy! The case hasn't even started yet!"
"It does taste different!" Jacob said defensively and handed the bottled juice towards Roderick, his best friend.

"For God's sake, Jacob !! Stop your stupid behavior !!" Shouted a woman in her mid-twenties towards the burly man in front of her. The man of Filipino blood with a stern face looks disappointed with the reaction of the woman. The woman he loves with all his heart, and the only love that has ever stopped in his incredibly fast life - his first love.
"Then say" Yes "My dear Margy!" He begged sadly to her lover.
"I've said it many times !! I'm not ready to get married !! For God's sake !! They say you are a genius lawyer !! But you don't understand what I'm saying !!" Shouted the woman with shoulder-length brown hair and wearing a pink summer-dress chiffon, walking into her private room.
Slamming the door of her room with all she might, a sign that she was annoyed and not paying attention to her lover who almost every day proposed to her in various ways; romantic, coercion, anger, and so on. Even Jacob once brought a wounded dog home, and he threatened not to take the dog to the clinic if Margy didn't accept his proposal, which of course was rewarded with a death slap from the young woman.
"Ha..ha..ha ..! Hit the stone to you friends !!" Said the blonde-haired man who sat on the sofa with his legs raised on the table. The man leaned back casually while enjoying the live drama broadcast with the main actor his best friend; Jacob, he burst out laughing when he saw his perfectionist and best friend rejected for the umpteenth time by his first love.
"You know !! I curse you to have a love story that is more tragic than me !!" Jacob replied angrily and sat down next to the blonde - his best friend since adolescence; Roderick Rausch Hawkin, a man born in San Jose with Celtic blood flowing from his mother.
Roderick has always prided himself on looking exactly like a highlander, he once grew his curly blonde hair and pierced his left ear which was studded with tribal earrings with some ancient Celtic mystical element - but his ridiculous behavior was rewarded with punishment from his mother, which was a week of cleaning the front yard of the house.
"Don't curse me, man !! Besides .. Women will come and go by themselves... Just take it easy !!" His reply relaxed and closed his eyes with both hands supporting his head which was resting on the back of the sofa. Roderick takes cases casually at first, he is easy-going and smart, until he heard more details about a new case he got earlier this week. He suddenly had a frown on his forehead.
"What was the case of Mrs. Mallory?" Jacob asked looking seriously at Roderick who still closed his eyes. Roderick with messy hair, from carelessly combing it with his hands. The man was stressed and depressed handling all the cases on his desk.
"Hmm ... More complicated than your proposal that is always being rejected !! Hah !! Why are you giving me a case like this !!" Growled Roderick irritated.
"This is a case of ordinary divorce and custody ..! Why are you complaining?" Jacob replied in disbelief at what his best friend was complaining about. So far, Roderick is the only person who can keep up with the rhythm of his work, they both compliment each other and become the hottest lawyer duo in California. Jacob relies on Roderick at this time, he decides to focus on his romantic life.
"Huh ... Haven't you heard? Oh yeah... You're too busy applying for Margy and haven't been in the office for a week!" Roderick quipped, "Mrs. Mallory was sued for divorce by Fred, her husband, who also asked for custody of their only daughter; Sofia. The problem became big two days after the lawsuit, Sofia disappeared - and at that time, Mallory was the one who took care of her."
"Wow ... Complicated man!" Jacob sympathized with his friend and slapped Roderick on the shoulder slowly, "What are you planning to do?"
"Well ... I'm going to Mallory's house tomorrow, and ask more about the chronology of Sofia's loss - because it would be burdensome, even criminal," Roderick explained languidly. He is not excited about this case.
"Hmm ... I'll give Maroon5 tickets to Margy tomorrow, I hope it will work !!" Jacob lamented and leaned back beside Roderick, closing his eyes - still thinking about the next proposal strategy for Margy.
Roderick just glances sarcastically at his coworkers who are still messing around with Margy, all the cases that come are finally dumped on his desk. Jacob is temporarily unable to handle any cases until Margy accepts them. Hopefully soon, because he can't handle it all himself.
