Emma came into Sophia's room and shared the incident that happened due to her. She was worried about Leonardo's decision.
What the hell you did do? What I will do with you? Sophia shouted
Sister, I couldn't bear that she was smiling… I can't bear both together…. Emma cried
But do you know the results? If Leonardo took a decision he will not leave us. I all the time said you to stay calm. But you didn't listen to me. You didn't take your medicines as well. Why did you put your body on fire? whereas I warned you!! Sophia shouted
Sister, please. I am sorry. But please find a solution. Emma cried
Let me. For now. Get lost in my room. I want to rest. Sophia said
Ava went into Leonardo's study room where he was working on files.
Anything important? Leonardo asked in a serious mood
I want to tell you about your offer. The idea of marriage is not a way when you asked all of sudden. I didn't know what to say to you. I was surprised to see you when you come to see me with such an offer. Of course, I think for the sake of Lucas as you do. You know I can give my life for him. But I want you to understand me. Even if it will be fake but marriage is a difficult decision. Ava said
I see, you don't need to explain more. Topic closed. The decision has been made. We are going abroad. Leonardo said in a serious mood.
Now, I have to focus on my work. will you let me? Leonardo asked as she was about to say something to him.
Ava went into her room. Leonardo was angry inside for proposing to Ava. He didn't know how to stable himself. Ava couldn't sleep. She tried harder but she failed. She switched on the light and sat on the bed wondering about something. Leonardo stood up from his chair and went to the terrace adjacent to his study room. Ava went out to talk to him. She put her hand on the locker of door to open but she couldn't do so. She went downstairs. She was continuously drinking water. Then she went into the garden. She was feeling so cold. But she remained stayed there to get herself relax. Same as Ava Leonardo came down and drank water. He was also lost in thoughts. He went into the garden and stopped. He sent Watson to make her wear an overcoat. Ava smiled as she thought the person who made her wear the coat was Leonardo but he was Watson. She paid thanks to him.
Didn't you sleep? Ava asked
I did I listened to the noise of moving someone that's why I woke up. This was you. Mr Leonardo ordered me to give it to you. Watson replied
Thank you. Can I ask you as you are like a big brother to me? Ava smiled and said
Yes, ask. Watson said
Imagine you are on a two-way road. How will you take the right decision? How can we know which one is the right way?
I think it's not important where we are going. But who are we going to is very important? We cannot see the end, we don't know how many times the road will separate out or change direction. Or what will bring it to us? We cannot see it before. But we can choose who can be with us from the beginning. We need a partner before the trip. A companion is just before the road. Watson said
Thank you, brother. You may go and sleep. Good night. Ava said. She stood there for an hour and then went into her room.
The next morning at the breakfast table, Sophia catch Leonardo's time. She followed him to the breakfast table. She tried to bother herself with him. As usual, Leonardo started talking with her.
There is something that is bothering me. I want to talk about it. Leonardo said
Yes, brother. What is that? Tell me. Is it about Lucas? Sophia asked
It is about Emma. Talk to her. Revise to her, the rules related to living life. You should know the behaviour when you live around people.
I am so sorry on her behalf. I am aware of what happened. She also knows she did wrong. She is sad. I will talk to her to be careful. Don't worry brother. Sophia said
How is James? Leonardo asked
He is doing better. His panic attacks reduced. But he is worried about if Lucas will be taken from us. Really Leonardo I am also worried about it. What will happen? Sophia asked
Don't worry. I found a solution. Leonardo said
What is that? Sophia asked
Meanwhile, Ava came to the table. Leonardo quickly stood up without replying to Sophia's question.
Sophia noticed that there was some hubbub between both of them that's why Leonardo couldn't meet eyes with Ava. Ava felt sad.
Good morning Dear. Everyone had breakfast. Sophia said
Lucas? Ava asked
He also. He is with James playing in the garden. Sophia said
I couldn't sleep last night that's why I couldn't wake up in time. Ava said
I think you are satisfied now with Lucas as you found a solution. Leonardo told me Everything, Sophia said
Everything? What do you mean? Did he tell you about…? Ava surprised
What is that Ava? Sophia asked
Obviously, you know that when you said he told you everything. She thought for a while and replied to her.
Yes. He was saying that he found a solution for Lucas. Am I right? Sophia asked
Ava mumbled something with happiness.
Did you say anything dear? Sophia asked with curiosity.
No. nothing. Enjoy your meal. Ava said and stood up.
You didn't eat anything dear. Sophia said
I am not hungry. Ava said
She went into the kitchen. Millie was pouring coffee into a cup. She wanted that Ava should give coffee to Leonardo.
Millie dear, what are you looking for? Ava asked
Nothing I have to check Mom's room. She isn't feeling well. If… Millie said
Give this to me and I will give it to your boss. Don't worry. You should go and check Mrs Rosa's room. Ava said. She took the tray and went into Leonardo's room.
I brought your coffee. Ava said
Where is Millie? I asked her to bring it. Leonardo said
I asked her. Because I need to talk to you. I made a decision about what you said yesterday. Ava said
Leonardo thought she will say words from his heart. But it was the opposite.
We should tell Lucas that we are going abroad. Ava said
Leonardo's mood swung.
We will tell Lucas. Now I have jobs to do. Leonardo said and quickly went out of his room without taking coffee.
Ava stood there wondering about his mood. She got upset. She went into her room. she wore a coat, took her bag and went out of the mansion. She informed Lucas and asked James to stay with Lucas until she come back. She went to Mrs Jasmine's house to get advice from her aunt to make a perfect decision.
Sister, did you learn something? Emma asked
No, but don't worry. There is something wrong between both. When Ava arrived at the table. Leonardo left with a pouty face. Sophia said
So do you think the garbage girl gave up on his idea of going abroad? Emma asked
I don't know. But we better not relax. You should directly go to the office and learn something from Frank. Sophia said
Okay. I will leave immediately. Emma said
Aunt! What should I do?
So Leonardo proposed to you. Now I see why you came all of sudden to my house.
I told you it will be a fake marriage. Ava said
I got it, my girl. What did you say? I mean Leonardo proposed to you? Mrs Jasmine asked
I couldn't accept it. His mood became very low after listening to my no. look it's not possible. He and I? Impossible. Lucas is my life but this marriage? How could I decide something like that? It cannot happen suddenly and we will be married but we act like we are not. Isn't weird? Ava asked
Why would it be strange? Is it just like fake marriage? Then why do you care about it? You can't answer my question. So I will answer it. Because deep in your heart you thought of Leonardo's offers as if that was a real proposal. Because of that, you got excited. But tell me now. He is saying if solutions are finished, we go abroad. You, Leonardo and Lucas. If you don't want Lucas not to be homeless you must accept his offer. Either way, you will make life with Leonardo. In one way or other, your path is the same as Leonardo's. For now, make your decision on that. Do you want to make Leonardo your partner or not? For Lucas? Mrs Jasmine asked
Ava looked at her with a saddened face. She didn't say anything to her aunt. After finishing her coffee and went to the seaside. She was walking on the beach barefooted. When waves of water touched her feet she felt mentally stable. She thought something and spent half an hour there. Then she went to the mansion.
