Chapter 11: Can you be my daughter in.law ?

She was feeling strange and her heart was racing for a reason she didn't know..

She touched her chest to calm herself down.

After breathing in and out, She went and sat besides Meble.

" Mom, How are you feeling now ? " She asked holding Meble's hand.

" I am going to try my best to work hard for your bills, and the restaurant. Mrs Walter is good but I Can't just accept her offers. .." She chatted.

" You told me to be kind and courageous, You will do that for me too and wake up ? ",When Trina asked this tears came from her eyes.

" You are my only family, How will I survive without you Mom ? " She asked in sniffs.

" So..please...you have to get up as soon as possible okay ? " She asked in sobs .

She was still like this when Ryan opened the door and on hearing it Trina released her mother's hand and quickly dried her tears.

" Mrs Walter.." She said forcing a smile.

Ryan smiled and went to her.." Trina, You don't have to pretend before me. " She said.

" What do you mean Mrs Walter ? " Trina asked still forcing the smile.." i am not pretending about anything. " She said.

Ryan sighed and sat at the edge of the bed to look at Trina.

" Your mother is so ill. I know you are worried and lonely. And confused maybe.." Ryan said.

" You are right. My Mom has been my only family. I've never lived on my own alone because she never stayed a distance away from me. " The tears Trina was hiding found their way back.

" And the restaurant, It has been like our second home. But now I am going to lose it.." Myra cried.

" You don't have to worry about the restaurant because I got you a new place. " Ryan said.

Triba shook her head is disagreement. " I am sorry Mrs Walter, I accept your kindness but I can't take the restaurant. " She cried.

" Trina..." Ryan called.

" And the hospital bills too, I am going to get a new job and I will pay you back. " She said in tears.

" Trina, Getting a job is not as easy as you think..And about the restaurant, I am not giving it to you just because you donated blood to me. I am doing it because you are a great cook and it will bring more customers to my Hotel. Take it as an investment okay ? " Ryan said.

" Maybe I can take that but for the Hospital bills, Allow me pay back slowly in installments. I will surely work hard and pay you back. " Trina said.

" Trina you don't have to. Did it because it was agent and your Mom was now my friend. So...don't be burdened by that okay ? " Ryan said.

" No Mrs Walter...I want to pay back your money. I have to . " Trina insisted.

" Where will you get all that money from ? " Ryan asked.

" I will work hard .. " She said.

" Those things won't work dear. Remember you still have to pay your landlady rent for the restaurant which takes half of the hospital bills i paid, Now tell me, How will you do that ? " She asked.

" I may not get the money but I will do for you anything you want. Let me say as part time

But I can't take your money for free. " Trina said with more determination.

" Which things can you do for me now ? " Ryan asked.

" I can come to your house or company and do the cleaning, Cooking, raundary or anything you want. But please don't let me take your money for free. " Trina sobbed.

Ryan looked at her and smiled.

" I am serious Mrs Walter. Don't laugh at me. " Trina said.

" Well, I can see that you are serious. You are such a good girl ! " Ryan complimented and cupped her left cheek.

" Trina , I see your determination but I already have people doing all that work. " Ryan said to her.

" I can come and still help them do all the house chaos.." Trina attured out.

" No dear, I have the maids, the cleaners, the drivers and guards. But there's one person I am missing. Would be that for me dear ? " Ryan asked looking at her lovingly.

" Of course Mrs Walter. I can whatever you want me to be as long as I can serve you. " Trina answered quickly without thinking deep about what Ryan was meaning.

" Really ? ",Ryan smiled .

" Yes Mrs Walter.." Trina smiled back. Ryan was still cupping her.

" The only thing I want so much and I am missing is a daughter. " Ryan said which quickly took the smile on Trina's lips.

" Can you be my daughter in.law ? " Ryan asked.

Trina thought she had heard it wrong.

" What ? " She asked.

" Yes..I want you to be my daughter in.law." She said again.

" But Mrs Walter I..." Trina tried to say but Ryan cut her off.

" Please ! " Ryan begged.

Trina pulled away and got up." Mrs Walter, Don't misunderstand this. But I can't do that. I can't marry Romeo. " She said.

Ryan got up to her level. " I know he is a not a perfect guy for a good girl like you. But to me, You are the only one worth to be my daughter .in.law. " Ryan convinced.

" No Mrs Walter, Don't do this to me. " Trina cried.

" Trina, I don't want to force you into this. But if you really want to pay for everything I have done, That's the only way I wish you to pay. You don't want, It's okay. " Ryan said.

Trina looked at her in confusion.

Ryan turned to look at Meble and said. " Look at your Mom. You will have to take good care of her. And then the restaurant. How will you manage on your own ? " Ryan asked and looked back at Trina.

" If you become part of pur family, You will move in to our house and won't have to pay rent. I and my maids will look after your mother as family while you are busy with the restaurant. " Ryan explained.

" And most importantly, I will treat you like my own daughter. " Ryan concluded with a smile.
