"Everyone she is my best friend, Isla Ece," Nada said introducing Isla to her family.
"Good afternoon everyone," said Isla nodding at all of them.
"Good afternoon, child how are you?" asked Aleesa.
"I'm good, Madam," replied Isla.
"Call me grandma," said Aleesa hugging her.
Isla returned Aleesa's hug and nodded.
"Well you already know them but let me introduce them to you formally," said Nada.
Everyone bemused at Nada's words. This girl already know them. She is Nada's best friend but we have never met in the past. Right.
Well they shrugged off their thoughts and smiled at Isla.
"Isla she is my mom, Eleonora Dain. He is my father, Orhan Dain. These both are my grandpas, Luis Dain and Noah Ayer. He is my uncle Aman Ayer and she is his wife and my aunt Crystal," Nada said while pointing at the respective person.
Isla nodded at them.
"And they are Theo's parents, Liam Gaumond, and Aani Emma I mean Emma Gaumond," Nada introduced them to Isla.
Emma smiled at Nada's words.
"Good afternoon, All of you your highnesses," said Isla decorously.
"Haha You are a very nice young girl," said Luis.
"Thank you, your..."
Isla was cut off by Luis.
"Call me grandpa just as Nada does."
Isla nodded.
"Nada also introduce us," said Adler.
"Oh Isla they..." Nada was cut off midway by Isla.
"I am already familiar with all of them so no need for introductions."
"You are familiar with us, but we are not," said Alan.
Isla smiled and said,
"You are Alan Ayer. You are Ahad Ayer. You (she pointed at Adler and said) You are Adler Gaumond. You are Owen Dain. You are Silas Dain. And Mirabella Dain. Renee Gaumond. Naira Stormer. Ava Ayer. And Anas, how are you, buddy," she said while high fiving Anas Dain.
"Good baby tigress," said Anas.
"I'm not a baby," whined Isla.
"You both know each other?" asked Eleonora.
"Yes, she is our junior in school," replied Nada in place of Anas.
"Seriously," exclaimed Crystal.
Nada, Isla, and Anas both nodded.
"She is your junior," said Eleonora.
"Focusing on the wrong point," whispered Isla.
Nada rolled her eyes at Isla and replied to her mother,
"Yes, she is two years younger than us."
"So you are eighteen?" asked Crystal.
Isla nodded but Nada chimed in,
"No, she is seventeen."
Isla groaned annoyed by Nada's words.
"What? You're seventeen," Anas teased her.
"Humph, whatever," said Isla.
"Aww she is so cute," said Eleonora.
"Yes, she is pretty adorable," agreed Emma.
"Mom I'm taking her upstairs to freshen up," said Nada.
"Let's go to my room," Nada said to Isla holding her hand.
"Umm, Nada can you please give me the guest room," Isla said to Nada.
"Why?" asked Nada.
"Hmm, bro-in-law is here," said Isla.
"SO?" asked Nada.
Isla scratched her chin and said in a cute manner,
"So isn't he going to sleep in your room."
"Why would he sleep in my room?" Nada glared at Isla.
Isla being a playful one gave Anas a knowing look.
"Huh, because he slept in your room last time too," said Anas teasing Nada.
"You-You," Nada stuttered.
Theo smiled seeing Nada's flustered. Isla saw his smile and thought
'Why are you smiling? Oh you also wanna taste this medicine. Ok, Let me give it to you.'
"What you? Theo, bro-in-law am I wrong? Didn't you sleep in her room last time?" Isla said behaving unaware that all of them were hearing their conversation.
Theo's eyes widened. He was shocked by this girl's boldness. She is quite daring.
"Why are you not saying anything, Theo bro," said Anas adding oil to the fire.
Theo and Nada looked as if they were sitting on an iron throne. Both of them were not able to utter a single word.
Everyone was shocked. Emma was the most shocked among them. She never thought that her son was this bold.
She thought to herself'
'Well, what can I say. It's the power of love.'
She looked around and all of their faces were full of shocked expressions.
"Hahahaha, When am I gonna be a great grandpa?" asked Luis playfully.
Theo and Nada both looked embarrassed. Nada almost had a heart attack. She was so red that she just wanted the earth to open and jump inside.
Isla and Anas both gave Theo and Nada a playful look. And earned a glare from the couple.
"Haha, I think grandpa at this rate it'll be soon," said Adler.
"Shut up Adler," Theo glared at his brother.
"Grandpa there is nothing like that. I am a woman of principles," said Nada.
"Yes me too. I will not do anything to her without her consent and obviously not before marriage," said Theo clarifying himself.
"Ooh" teased all of the young people.
After a while,
Everyone was at the dining table ready for the lunch.
"Isla child, eat more. I have made everything you like," said Eleonora.
"Aunt, how do you know my favourite dishes?" asked Isla.
"I asked Nada about it," said Eleonora.
Isla nodded and ate her lunch.
"Aunty the food is very good," complemented Isla.
"Thank you, Isla," said Eleonora.
They all finished their lunch and went to the lounge.
All of them were chatting. Isla, Nada, and Anas were busy chatting. When Luis asked Isla,
"Isla, child what is your family name?"
Isla stopped her conversation with Nada and Anas. Her mood instantly sank. She inhaled and looked up at Luis,
She opened her mouth but no words came out of her mouth.
She looked at Nada and Nada nodded at her.
Isla then looked up and said,
"Augustus, Isla Ece Augustus."
"What?" exclaimed all.
"I am from Augustus family," said Isla.
"If I'm not wrong there is only one Augustus family coming in my mind," said Noah.
"You're right grandpa. I am from that family," said Isla calmly.
"So are you?" Noah hinted.
"Yes, I am," said Isla.
"What do you mean, grandpa?" asked Owen.
"You'll know soon," replied Luis.
"What are they talking about?" whispered Silas to Anas.
"Grandpa said you'll know," said Anas sternly.
"Stingy brat," said Silas.
