Luis and Noah looked at each other. They nodded at each other approvingly. They liked the Theo boy. They were also fond of his parents. Liam and Emma were nice people so Luis thought that Theo is the best choice for his lovely grandchild.
"Theo we agree. But on one condition," said Luis.
"What is the condition?" Theo asked.
Liam heard Luis and straightened himself. He was happy that Luis agreed to give his treasure to his son.
Emma was on cloud nine hearing Luis' approval. She wanted Nada to be her daughter-in-law form the start.
And now her wish was coming to realization.
Theo waited for couple of minutes but Luis didn't speak a word. So he added,
"Whatever is your condition I will accept it if it's within my capabilities."
Luis gave his wife, Aleesa, an eloquent look. Aleesa knew her husband was going to give this child a cruel option. She sighed and prayed for Theo in her mind.
"My condition is..." Luis trailed off.
"What is it? Grandpa," asked Theo already sweating due to nervousness.
"My condition is that you have to leave your parents for her," said Luis.
Theo was shocked hearing his condition. This was the only thing he could and never will do, even for Nada.
He can't leave his parents for her. Can he?
The world knows him as a cruel and cold beast. A devil but he is an emotional person. Loyal to be very precise.
He loves his parents very much but he also loves her. He can't leave his parents for her and he can't leave her for his parents.
He was in a dilemma.
While Theo was busy fighting his inner self. Luis was enjoying the complicated emotions brewing on his face.
Aleesa glared at her husband and the response she got was a clueless shrug from Luis.
Orhan knew his dad was at it again. He did the same thing during his daughter's time. And here he was doing this again.
He looked at his mother and pleaded her with his eyes. Aleesa assured him and again signalled Luis to stop this. But he is Luis the Great, HE NEVER LISTENS TO ANYONE. Luis just ignored all the deathly stares on him and resumed watching the interesting show in front of him.
(Yeah Theo fighting with his inner dilemma. His expressions were an amusing show for him.)
Luis said,
"Theo I want the answer if you can do it.."
Theo looked up and said in a firm voice.
"Grandpa, I can not leave my parents. But I will love her forever. And if not agreeing to your condition means that I can not get her. Then I'll just stay alone forever."
Luis' face got darkened by every second he heard Theo's answer.
Whereas everyone was anxious. Liam felt disappointed that Nada will not marry his son now.
Emma was close to tears. Adler was ready to kill someone. His brother fell in love for the first time. How dare anyone spoil his love.
Anas was smiling seeing Alder gumming face.
"Stop fuming. You can not do anything," Anas whispered to Adler.
"How do you know? I will kidnap your sister and get her to marry my brother," Adler replied.
Anas was going to blast but he got Nada's sign and held it in.
"Shut up brat," Anas said to Adler and looked away before the latter could say anything else.
"Are you sure?" asked Noah.
Theo inhaled and said,
"YES."
His words were resolute.
"Ok," said Luis.
Theo didn't wait for anyone else and stood up to go out.
"Stop your babbling old man," spoke Nada.
Theo stopped in his steps when he heard a voice. He turned around.
"Sit down," Nada said to Theo.
Theo being a love-struck fool sat down as instantly as he heard her.
Luis looked at his granddaughter amused.
"You know who you're talking to?" Luis asked.
"My best friend," replied Nada.
Luis smiled hearing her reply.
"Oh. So you know," said Luis amused.
Nada nodded.
She looked around and saw her parents having neutral expressions. But Emma and Liam wore a sad expression.
She sighed and shook her head helplessly.
"Stop with your acting, Grandpa. Will you?" she said.
Luis laughed heartily and said,
"Yeah, why not? Who told him to be so dense. I was just acting. If he was a little observant he should have noticed it," said Luis.
"You went too far. Even I thought you were..." Nada trailed off
"Saying all this for real," Luis completed her sentence.
Nada nodded.
"But this proves that Theo boy has a weakness which is fatal for a businessman," said Luis shrugging his shoulders.
"He does not have a weakness. I know he should have been practical but still," said Nada.
"Don't defend him, Aergul Nada," asserted Luis.
"I am not defending him, Mr Dain. And if the same thing is applied to you and you have to choose between your parents and grandma. Who will you choose," Nada said.
"None," Luis answered simply.
"tsk* You are unbelievable. Grandma, he will not choose you, neither he will choose Great grandparents. so is he planning to choose someone else?" Nada said looking towards Aleesa hinting that her husband is fishy.
Aleesa glared at Luis.
This one glare did the thing.
"Oh my love I never meant that," Luis said.
"Then what did you mean?" asked Aleesa furiously.
"Nothing, She is trying to make us fight," he said while glaring at Nada.
"Lovely, he is glaring at me," Nada said to Aleesa.
"How dare you glare at her?" said Aleesa.
Luis looked at his wife and said,
"Sorry I didn't mean to. But she diverting the topic."
He again gave a threatening look to Nada. The response he got was just a shrug from her.
"You brat," he said under his breath.
"What do you want?" he asked Nada.
"Clear your words," she replied seriously.
"Theo child all you heard was an act of mine. Don't take it serious;y," he said to Theo.
"It's ok," Theo replied.
"Are we good now?" Luis asked Nada.
"Hmm, Of course. Next week same place," she replied.
Luis' eyes sparkled and he nodded at Nada enthusiastically.
Everyone was shocked to see the exchange between this grandpa-granddaughter duo.
"Theo boy. I am no we all are proud of you. You gave the right answer," said Aleesa.
Liam and Emma also regained their spirits while Adler was dumbfounded by all this turn of event.
"Now you know," said Anas.
"Yes," replied Adler.
And he earned a peal of laughter on his comical reply.
