In a big mansion with different types of cars lined up in the garage. An older version of Jess Baron in his early sixties with a powerful aura known as David Baron is talking with his son Jess Baron.

" Why is it that every time I mention marriage, your countenance changes" David Baron asks his son with a worried look.

Jess Baron smiled at his father and replied, " my countenance can not change over an over flocked topic, I'm use to that".

"It is over flocked because you are overdue for marriage, anyway I called you back to remind you that you must get married and not just that, there is a deadline to it" David replied to his son with a stern face.

Jess surprised raised his brow and asked ' what do you mean".

David replied back to his son," A financial expert like you should know what deadline means, right".

Jess Baron's face changed, getting angry at his dad and ask, " why would you give me a deadline to get married, who does that, dad am already stressed with the office work and your health, please don't add to it. why are you taking this out of context?, why push it this far?" Jess said raising his voice.

David Baron frowned at Jess and said, " mind your tone boy, am still your father. All I know is that you must get married and mind you the doctor have already given me a deadline, he says I have six months to live".

Jess Baron immediately turned solemn and he panics, " what ...are you.. talking about dad, I know you are sick but six months " Jess said.

"Well, you heard me". David Baron said to his son, walking away into the house.

" Dad.... dad ..what do you mean by six months ". David didn't turn back to answer Jess. He left Jess standing there feeling shocked and frustrated with the news.
