MARRIAGE WITH LOVE
CHAPTER 15
Alex felt relief that she did not fall and tried to stand up but the other party didn't let her go.
Alex didn't know but she didn't like being held by him and pushed him away.
"Sorry I lost my balance and crashed into you, and thank you for saving me" Alex still said politely and wanted to leave but was stopped by Ivan.
"Excuse me, actually I am going to ask you about the business department but you lost balance and crashed into me," said Ivan.
"Are you new here"? Asked Alex.
"Yes, today is my first day here". Ivan replied.
"OK, go to the left side and you will see the business department," said Alex.
"Thank you, if you don't mind we can have coffee together" asked Ivan.
"No thanks my friends are waiting for me" Alex declined, she didn't know but she is not feeling good about him.
************************
When Alex got home she saw her grandpa was sitting in the living room, so she decided to greet him.
"Hi grandpa , what are you doing here"?
Waiting for someone"? Asked Alex
"Come here my dear, I'm waiting for you actually" let's go to my room I have something to tell you" said grandpa taking her into his arms and went to his room.
When they reached the room, grandpa told Alex to sit for a while and started to search for something, soon he came with a photo album.
"Alex, let me show you your mother's childhood photos," grandpa said.
"My mother's photos, grandpa"? "How come you have that"? Alex asked
"She was my best friend's daughter, she was like my own daughter to me, when she was born we already decided for her to be my daughter in law, so I always treat her as my own and she was very close to me. When she loses her parents I take her in and treated like a father treats her daughter". I lost both my friend and daughter. Now I can't bear to lose you Alex. Said grandpa in low voice
"You are like your mother Alex. You are very important to me, remember my darling". Grandpa said in low voice
"I know grandpa, you're also very important to me," said Alex.
Grandpa gives Alex a photo album and Alex excitedly starts seeing photos of her mom.
"O my god! Grandpa she is so beautiful, why didn't you show me sooner"? Said Alex.
Yes she is so beautiful, her heart and soul is also beautiful, she is my precious daughter in law , how I wish she is still with us. But she left us and now you are the only one I have, my granddaughter.
"Actually when your mother is alive and we celebrate her birthday she told me her wish , unfortunately she passed away before I could make it come true,but now I think we can make it possible, will you help me Alex". Grandpa asked.
"Yes I will grandpa, I will do everything for mom"said Alex in a loving tone.
"She wants you to marry Derak when you turn 18 but you're not here and I thought it would be unfair for you so I didn't say anything,"grandpa said half truth half lie.
