183 The Greysons II (1/2)
Neto froze as he listened to his father. So typical of his father, to mention all his fears. To try to scare him. Neto looked at his father without saying a word, it's high time he did something he really wants not something his father wants. All his life, he had wanted to be a great man, so he could take care of his mom and he also wanted to prove to his father that he could be a better man.
Neto realised something as he looked around his father's house. Yes marriage can be scary but it's a beautiful thing especially when you meet the right person.He's seen alot of people struggling in their marriages, most people got marriage because of love, others for some other reasons but it's all boils down to one thing. Nobody knows how it's going to turn out, it's just like any other thing in life.
It's about taking risk and working together to make a better life for you and your partner. ”Will he break Sky's heart, will their marriage fail? Can he be the man Sky wants?” These questions bothered him. But he knows he doesn't want to hurt Sky and he is going to try his best to do right by his family. If she accepts him, they'll work together to make their tomorrow a better one. Neto smiled as he realised this.
”Yes dad. Yes! I want all that but it's not like you described it. ”Yes I will be stuck with one woman but it will be the woman of my dreams, the woman my heart beats for. The woman who brings out the best in me, the woman who was able to give me two wonderful kids even though I don't deserve them. I want Sky dad, and I'm going to do everything in my power to get her back. So you better start praying she accepts me or you won't see me in the company for a while. Cause Sky is my life's project.”
Mr Greyson let out a sigh of relief as his son said the words he has been wanting to hear. ”Good job son” He said smiling as he pat Neto on the shoulder.
Surprised at his father's reaction, Neto stuttered. ”I....I....I..I don't understand dad. I thought you didn't want me to get married? Are you alright dad?” Neto asked as he watched the old man.
Mr Greyson's laughter filled the air. Neto listened to his father's rich baritone voice and wondered what was wrong with the old man.
”Come sit down boy, and join the boys and me as we enjoy our fish n beer.”
Neto was dumbfounded. All he could do was follow his father as they went to join the other men by the pool.
”You see son, I realized something as I grew old. I was wrong about marriage. Yes I know I told you to avoid it but I regret that decision now and I'm very happy that you won't end up like your lonely father.” Mr Greyson said as he sat opposite his son.
”You are not lonely dad. You are always travelling with different girls, partying and going on vacations. You are never alone, there's always a woman beside you.” Neto folded his shirt sleeve as he watched his father carefully, so he wouldn't miss any emotion.
Chief Tanko stood up to leave with the other men to give the father and son privacy, when Mr Greyson stopped them. ”No please stay guys. I need you to hear this too and I also need you all to say a few words of advice to my boy here.”
