Season 2: Episode-8

  Season 2: Episode-8       Alisa’s POV:   Next day,   I screamed as I stood up, “What?!”   I closed my eyes to control my break down, “NO… you can’t make me attend any dinner when I said I want to say unknown… If I wanted fancy dinner then I would have been same as Ruth,….. Dad… and you all don’t like me then why you need me to attend the dinner…”   Dad said on the phone, “this is the reason why no one likes you, it’s not our fault. It’s your… we just ask to attend a dinner with us, but see you are rejecting. Grays are really important, your grandfather asked us the arrange dinner …. What will they think if you were absent? You are still the part of the family… it’s your duty…”   I scoffed and said, “NO… you can’t make me come… and whatever I am… on my own will… I am not coming there to get humiliated.”    Dad sounds more angry, “Just get yourself here tomorrow evening… this is order.. and your grandfather supports you, you should come for him this time… he is really concerned about the deal….” The call ended… I scoffed. Is this how you talk to your daughter? If it wasn’t for grandpa then I would have cut ties off with them…    But dinner with Grays, but I don’t want to go. Edwin Gray will be there, he is really pervert.       Ron called me, I answered it trying not to show my distress.  He said, “Hey.. my lovely, let’s grab some coffee together…”      I was sitting in Ron’s restaurant, still worried about the dinner. Ron placed the coffee in front of me and asked, “Babe… what is wrong? You look stressed…”   I sigh and said, “Dad asked me to come over for a dinner with his friends.. I don’t want to go home…  I don’t like to be there….”   Ron grabbed my hand and said, “Babe… the only way you can be good with your parents is to give them time..… I know this is hard but I also know you won’t be happy till you fix this…”   He smiled at me lightly, “But… I will be ok if you don’t go… I don’t want you to cry….. and it’s just a dinner right, so it won’t be a big problem…”     I smiled at him and said, “Grandpa also wants be there so… I think I will go….” Ron caressed my head and said, “that’s my brave girl..” I chuckled at him on his cute actions.   He said, “come on now try the coffee, I practiced a lot…”   I tried it and god! this is amazing, if I get this everyday then my coffee addiction will be on next level. I said, “Ron… you should also start a café.. this is amazing…” I took another sip.  Ron smiled at me and said, “How about we both start a café when we get a little older…. You and me will work there… you can be my manager and I will be the one to make coffees… you can also be my life manager…” I couldn’t help but look down, he is really good with cheesy talk.    Ron teased, “You got shy?”   I looked at him hiding my smile and said, “It is an easy proposal… I won’t agree. I need efforts Mr. Ron Storm.” He chuckled and said, “Noted.” We both chuckled together.    I heard voice from behind, a familiar voice… but the words sounded happy, “Ron….. you look free…” Edwin Gray… that’s what rang in my mind.   Ron smiled and got up, he said, “Bro… you are here.. ah! I forgot we were about to discuss about new resorts menu… but what a perfect timing..”  I didn’t turned to Edwin, knowing he didn’t recognize me, and I don’t want to be encountered with him.   Ron said to me, “babe… let me introduce someone to you, the most important person to me after my late mother..” Ron went behind me and pulled Edwin to face me, now they both were in front of me. I noticed Ron was excited, and Edwin was looking at me stunned… and angry… but why?     Ron said, “Alisa.. he is my cousin brother…. Edwin Gray… and brother, she is my lovely girlfriend… Alisa…” I looked at both of them stunned, Ron is Edwin’s cousin. No…
