Chapitre 46: Meeting his family.

Maya walked into the lobby as she saw the receptionist sitting there. She gave Maya a big smile and said, "Congratulations madam!"

As Maya waited for the elevator to arrive, she asked her, "What are you talking about?"

"I heard that you are getting engaged by the end of this month? Mrs. Martin is so happy about it. In fact the entire Martin family is. She has been going around telling everyone that she will be inviting them to yours and Mr. Lucas's wedding next year!"

The receptionist said all things in one go, it was as if she had expected Maya to ask this and had deliberately learned all these lines.

But at the moment, Maya was a bit too muddle headed to notice this.

She quickly said in a friendly manner, "No~ What are you talking about? Even I do not know about this and look at you. I want you to do me a favor, okay?"

Although Maya knew that what she was going to do next is very shameful, she still decided to do it. Maya handed the receptionist some good amount of money and told her to stop saying this and to stop anyone who talks about this.

"I would be really thankful to you if you do so. If you hear anyone talking about it, just tell them that these are just some baseless rumors, okay?"

Maya was feeling very guilty right now. She knew that out of all the people involved in this indecent, she was the first person who had nothing to feel guilty about, but at the moment she could not help but panic a bit for the Martin family.

After that she entered the elevator and pressed the fifth floor button.

She remembered that when she had come to this place for the first time, it was to buy this flat for Lucas's family, she had come here with Lucas. Both of them had wanted to take a flat which was at a lower floor, because one never knew when Lucas's father might have a relapse and had an emergency. If that time ever came, wouldn't it be better if they did not have long waiting time for elevators or huge amount of staircases?

They could not get a flat at the first or the second floor, so the dealer told them that the flat available closest to ground was on the fifth floor but the only problem was that it's rate was very high.

Maya then decided to pay half of the amount for the flat from her savings while the rest was paid by Lucas's family.

Meanwhile the receptionist looked at her hand full of cash, today she had earned quite a lot, first it was Lucas who gave her some money to 'say some things' and now it was Maya who gave her money to stop saying the same things! Ha!

"She gave me much more than Mr. Lucas... I guess this is the difference between the rich and stingy people like Mr. Lucas." The receptionist rambled on.

"When first I had heard that this Mr. Lucas let his girlfriend pay for everything in his house, I did not believe it! But last time when they had visited, I could see that Miss Maya was very generous. She had brought small presents for all of the workers and asked us to take good care of her 'boyfriends' parents'. No wonder she does not want to marry him anymore. She must be tired of taking care of her in-laws so much even before their marriage."

...

*Ding* The elevator reached the fifth floor and Maya got out. She noticed that the door was closed and thought that maybe Lucas had not arrived yet. She then called Lucas intending to ask him about where he was.

"Hello...?" A person with disinterested voice picked up the phone, it was the voice of Mrs. Martin.

"Um... hello aunty. It's me, Maya. Actually I had called to check if Lucas had reached but now it seems that he is with you." Maya said politely.

"Oh... Ooh! Maya, it's you! Wait let me open the door, you have come up, right? Lucas! Go and open the door! Maya is here!" Mrs. Martin was almost shouting with excitement.

*clack*

Suddenly the door in front of Maya opened, it was Lucas who opened it. He had a weird expression on his face, it was as if he was blaming Maya for what all that was going to happen now.

This time however, Maya did not take it lightly and glared at him back with double intensity. It was not her who had to be blamed but Lucas himself.

Not expecting this reaction from her, Lucas made a guilty face and changed the topic, "You do not need to worry... even I had just arrived, you are not late."

"I don't care about that, why would I worry about it?" Maya said in a low voice so as to only both of them could hear her words.

"Hello aunty! How are you? And how is uncle doing?" Maya cheerfully said, she did not want to be serious since the beginning and spoil everyone's mood. "Where is he, inside?"

Both Maya and Mrs. Martin then headed inside to meet Mr. Martin; Lucas's father.

Lucas scoffed at Maya's behavior. "I guess she really considered my mother and father as her own. Too bad-" Lucas stopped and headed inside, Maya had taken out some tonics as she handed them to his parents.

"These energy drinks are very good for health, it is not necessary to be ill to take them, you can drink them on regular basis. The instructions are inside." Maya explained to them.

"These are so expensive! There was no need for you to bring them this time. The ones you had brought on your last visit are still kept untouched!" Mr. Martin said.

Although it was not seen on his face, he was in fact really very embarrassed to face Maya. He had tried to explain his wife and son several times, that they should not take so much of advantage of this girl, but they never listened to him. Gradually, his conscience was also taken over by greed and then he avoided talking about this.

They talked for some time...

Soon Maya thought that maybe it was time to break the news to them. She got a bit serious.

"Yeah... So... uncle, aunty-" Maya looked at them with an apologetic look, "This time, Lucas and I came here to tell you about something."

Chapitre 47: Have dinner with them.

"Aiden! Come here! Father is asking for you!" Aiden and Maya were talking with each other when Ethan called him. Aiden told Maya that he had some work to do, so they decided to talk later.

Aiden went to his father's room. He had been discharged from the hospital a few days ago. The doctor had advised them not to put too much pressure on their father as he was not doing well. It was not as if he could not recover, it was just that his health will take a very long time to get back to being stable.

"Yes father?" Aiden asked with concern visible in his tone.

"What were you doing this time when you had visited the Zed city? I had asked you to accompany your brother and understand how to work in business meetings" Mr. Smith took a pause and continued after he caught his breath, "I had heard from your friend that you left your brother alone to deal with the meeting and ran away! If you keep on doing this, how will you learn to address such important meetings? What was his name? That kid from the Moore family."

"Liam." Aiden replied. It seemed as if he really needed to tell Liam to keep his lips sealed in the future . How can he go around complaining about him and that too to his father!? But the next words from his father, calmed Aiden down and changed his perspective for his best friend.

"Don't start scolding him in your head!-" *Cough* As his father, Mr. Smith could very well understand what all was going inside his son's mind. He then spoke up for Liam and said, "Yes, that boy had come to visit me during my stay in the hospital. He assured me by informing that I do not have to worry about you bringing a 'son- in-law' for the Smith family." Mr. Smith finally completed his sentence with small coughs in between.

"Have some water dad." Aiden said as he handed him a glass of water. He was trying hard to control his smile.

"Hmm... Although I am aware that young people nowadays are very open about other stuff, you know..." Mr. Smith looked at his hand which had grown so old, it was so wrinkly.

He then continued, "I still feel better to know that you can have a full family of your own." *cough* "Riely will be delivering in just a few months, both of them will be great parents... I know it. Now only if you also settle down well, I can finally leave. Your mother might have been waiting for me since so long." Mr. Smith looked at his son, the resemblance of Aiden's mother who was his only wife was clearly seen in him.

All of a sudden the smile on Aiden's face turned into a frown, "Stop it father. Why do you want to talk about such things!? You should not say such inauspicious words! The doctor had told me, you will not be going anywhere anytime soon!"

He knew it. He had known it since a very long time, but it was just that he just didn't want to accept it.

It was almost a miracle when the Smith family got to know that Madam of the family had gotten pregnant again. He was the youngest one in the family. Aiden was more than ten years younger than his elder brother. His parents were very much older than him compared to what other people experienced.

"You should not say this... after all, don't you know, it is not good to keep a lady waiting for long! Anyways, tell me about the girl you-" *Cough- cough* Mr. Smith knew what his son was thinking and tried to change to topic, but suddenly he started coughing again and again. It got so serious that he even spat a bit of blood!

"Father!!" Aiden immediately supported him and called for help.

"What are you doing!! Get his medicines!" He yelled at the only servant who had arrived at the moment and was just standing there without doing anything with a panicked expression.

Aiden was shocked! The doctor had really told them clearly that his father's hemoptysis [1] was not that serious and was just a mild one. Then how could it get so severe?

And again, even though Mr. Smith was saying that it was not that important, and he could get fine with some rest at home, the brothers decided to take him to the hospital.

He was admitted in the ward which would be giving him the utmost importance for treatment. And since the hospital belonged to the Moore family, there was no doubt in it, both of the families had very good relations after all.

...

"Yeah... So... uncle, aunty-" Maya looked at them with an apologetic look, "This time, Lucas and I came here to tell you about something."

Mrs. Martin's smile stiffened up a bit. She looked at Lucas who was standing at the door. "What is it Maya?" She asked although she kind of had an idea of what Maya was going to tell them.

"Actually-" Before Maya could complete her sentence, Lucas came in and said, "I have prepared the dinner table, can all of us please come?"

Maya looked at her wristwatch and was surprised to know that it was already more than half past eight! Their flight had landed by six pm, and then now it was already about dinner time! It really took a lot of time to reach here from the airport. It seemed that most probably she won't be able to attend the gathering she had planned with Aiden and Liam.

"Well I did not plan to have dinner here." Maya still wanted to try reaching there, even if it was a bit late, so she tried to convince the Martin family to exclude her from their dinner plans.

"No you should also come and have dinner with us." Lucas's father said. Since it was him who said it this time, Maya felt it was a bit awkward to decline his invitation, so she reluctantly agreed.

"Umm.... Ok, you guys carry on, I will just use the toilet and come." Saying that, Maya left the trio and went to the washroom.

As she left, all three of them looked at each other as they sighed in relief.

...

[1]- hemoptysis: the coughing up of blood.
