HER CHOICE

Chapter Twenty

'My boy, we are so proud of you. Your father was so scared you couldn't handle the company. But you have proven him wrong. The business is growing, interviewing everywhere, over 2000 employees.
And, you are all over the place. In the news, media platforms and everywhere. Just look at you. how successful you have become.
The man your father and I had wanted you to become Daniel's mother said, pampering her son.
As he came to visit his parents.

"I knew you would become successful but be all over the media, news and become the motivational business manager for people, I didn't see that coming. His father interjected. Now you are all over in the news, media. And you are the one people are looking forward to..... His father paused.
Your mother and I watched your last interview and I was so happy seeing my son given business advice on national television. His father continued.
It would be more lovely if you have a family of your own and start dedicating most of your interview to your wife and children. It would be lovely son. They say behind every successful man there is a woman.
I mostly thank your mother my wife when I was into the game. I was so proud to have her by my side when I started because she has been the biggest supporter.
A woman may not contribute into your success but she comes into your life to keep up with your successful efforts locked up by taking care of your home, making your your home complete, give birth and raise your children when you are busy working your way out.
She gives you ideas and tries to make you happy all the time. Your mother did all this and even more. You wouldn't have come this far if your I didn't have your mother besides me when I started.
She has been my biggest influence and motivator. But we are not going to forcing you to do what you don't want to do okay. Just do whatever you want to do. Though we think, actually it's the right thing to do, we can't substitute your happiness for our desires. We have no right to meddle in your personal decision. If you don't want to give us grandchildren, no problem. We won't force you to do it. You have your life to live and we will support any decision you make. But the best thing is to have children of your own to complete your home. His father said.

Son, your father is right. A wife is everything, your home can not be completed without a woman by your side to call a wife and to make babies for you. Therefore, I site with your father. If there is something to reconsider, I will suggest you get married and have your own children.
See, very soon your father and I will die and live you alone. We are unlucky to have more children. You are our only child and when we die, whom are you going to call family if you refuse to get married and have immediate family life. His mother said emotionally.

"Oh come on mom! ..are you getting emotional right now?
Daniel pulled her mother closely to himself.
Mom! dad! I know you two want me to have my own family. But I don't want to.
I am fine being single. Mom, I have been unsuccessful in relationships. I don't know whether I can become a good father one day or not. I don't know what I have been doing wrong. Maybe I'm probably not born for this. I don't want to be hurt again.

We know you are, at the moment and you are speaking for the moment.
But we want you to think ahead of the moment and foreseen the future. Things are not going to be like this forever. You are doing everything right. You failed to open your heart and let go of your past. His mother said.

Okay! I have heard you two.

Lunch was served and they moved to the dining table to eat. They held hands, and her mother began to pray.

"Heavenly Father we commit this food into your hands come to the table and dine with us. We are grateful for all that you have done for this family and continue to do for us. We thank you for the life of our son for how far you have brought him.
We pray for more blessings and protection for his life.
We pray you touch him in special way even as he's hellbert on getting married and giving us grandchildren.
May you touch him and change his decision.
Daniel smiled and opened one of his eyes to see her mother's face and his father's too. Bless this food even as we dine in harmony. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen"

Amen! Daniel and his father responded in unison.
