Son-in-law
It was Saturday morning, Scovia and Aiden as they were getting ready to go visit her parents
Is it really ok to go like this? Asked Aiden
What do you mean?
With an empty-handed reply Aiden
It’s ok, I already told you that I’ve prepared something for you to give them, I would feel bad if you spend your money buying them something, they aren’t your real in-laws anyway replied Scovia
I know but still, I can’t go empty-handed, I’ve got the best tea how about I take it with me asked Aiden
Well if you insist do as you want but don’t exaggerate said Scovia
Sure!
Then the two of them set off
At the Jones villa,
Both Mr. and Mrs. Jones were waiting restlessly for their son in law
What took them so long, call Scovia and ask her when they will be here, they possibly can’t change plans at the last minute, can they ask Mr. Jones
Oh dear look how anxious you are! Just wait a little bit, they will be here soon replied Mrs. Jones
Ma’am, they are here, young lady and her husband said Olivia
Mom, Dad we’re home said Scovia
Meet my husband Aiden Nash
Aiden greeted both Mr. and Mrs. Jones respectfully as he apologized for coming to see them late.
They welcomed them and enjoy their accompany
The dinner was served while eating and chatting as Mr. Jones kept staring at his son in law
How did you two met asked Mr. Jones
It was in the garden said Scovia,
at the hospital, said Aiden
both responded at the same time with different answers
Then Aiden went on and say “The first time I met her, it was at the hospital garden, I was so lost and lonely, I was very sad, she was sitting next to me sniffing, and it was clear that she wasn’t happy either, she handed me a handkerchief and said in grief and low voice voice “ I don’t know what happened to you, however, the past is gone, you can’t let it hold you up, live the present well and be able to protect yourself and what’s yours. And then she left, I lived for those words, I can say that’s when I felt for her.
Scovia was stupefied by this man’s way of making up a story, which sounded way real, but wait why does this story sound so familiar? But I can’t remember where I heard them though never mind.
Oh, I see! So how long have you been together? Asked Mr. Jones
Stop interrogating them, don’t you see you’re making them uncomfortable! Let them enjoy the food enough of your questions said Mrs. Jones
Am I? He laughed I didn’t even realize that, forgive this old man’s curiosity. Said Mr. Jones
No, it’s ok Father, I apologize on behalf of my wife and me, we should have come sooner.
Such a pity that this man isn’t a movie actor, am I seeing things or what? I almost thought that this whole marriage thing was real ha!
Oh Dear look how lovely they are, you should Stop doubting said Mrs. Jones smiling
So what do your parents do?
They passed away in a car accident eight years ago he responded
I’m sorry for your loss young man, said Mr. Jones
Aiden nodded
The dinner come to an end, Aiden followed Mr. Jones to the study, while Scovia stayed behind with her mother
Why didn’t you tell us that your husband was an orphan? Asked Mrs. Jones
If I told you I didn’t know about that would you even believe me? She murmured
What did you say?
I’m sorry Mom, I thought it would have been better for him to tell you guys himself, I’m sorry
Nevermind, it’s in the past anyway responded Mrs. Jones
By the way, your father and I have decided to let him Join our company, what do you think?
Mom! You should talk to him first maybe he won’t be interested to work for his in-laws, please even though he isn’t Rich but he’s a good man and I love him so please for my sake don’t look down on him or do something that can humiliate him please! Responded scovia
Oh my ! I never thought that there will be a day my selfish daughter will stand up for someone, love can change one’s behavior, what an overprotective wife, I’m so happy for you sweetie said Mrs. Jones with a smile on her face
Mom ! Stop exaggerating, I’m just stating the fact, I would do the same for someone else too, it’s just that I’m worried!
Wait why am I even worried about him, he’s a grown-up man and he’s affairs have no business with me, he should be the one taking care of his own emotions not me, forget it!
