Battle Of Survival

Episode 3

Third Person's Point Of View,

"What are you doing Joe, what the hell you are doing", his wife yelled at him and he just looked at her and she was looking at him with worried eyes,

"Joe, what happened, why the hell you are doing this", his wife asked him and he just gulped hard,

"What did he say to you", his wife asked again and he was looking at the boss with angry eyes and his wife was so worried coz his boss was the only hope and if Joe will fight with him then who will help them, it was so sensitive matter for them and now seems like this matter was slipping from their hands,

"This bastard wants to get married to Irish", said Joe with angry eyes and her wife was purely in shock after hearing his words, she just thought that she heard something wrong,

"What did he say", her wife asked again and she just gulped hard her saliva,

"He is f*****g monster, he wants our Irish and if we agree then he is ready to help us", said Joe as he was holding his head with both hands, it was so hard for him to process what was happening,

"Look Katty, I am just talking straight, if you will give me your daughter I will give you money as much as you want and also you will not need to return that money, you can have that money, I will not ask you again", his boss said and he just looked at him with wide eyes and his wife was also so shocked after hearing his words, they just thought that his boss was kidding but he was looking so serious and he was looking at them with a serious expression on his face,

"What did you say", his wife asked him and he just smirked at her,

"I said you do not need to return that money, you can keep that", he said again and his wife just looked at his husband with wide eyes,

"You just get lost from here, I will not give you my daughter at any cost", said Joe with angry eyes but his wife just stopped him and he just looked at his wife with shocking eyes, how could his wife even think about it,

"We need some time to think about it", said Katty to his boss and his boss just smirked at her, he just pulled a cheque book from his pocket and filled a heavy amount in that cheque, and handed it to Katty,

"This is just an example, you will have more after the wedding", he said and smirked again, and he just pulled out his card and throw that card on the table,

"Take as much time as you want, just call me when you decide about this wedding, you do not need to worry about her, she will be there as a queen, so I just hope that you will think wisely, and also thank you so much for this yummy dinner", his boss said and walked out of the home with a big smile on his face, his boss went and closed the door, and Joe was looking at his wife with angry eyes,

"How the hell you can think about this, I am not gonna send my daughter with this man", said Joe with greeting teeth as anger was dripping from his mouth, his wife was scared for once after seeing his reaction,

"Joe, please calm down, I just know that you are angry, but you just have to think wisely, just look at this cheque, he gave us a hundred million dollars just before a wedding, just think how many he will give after the wedding, we can save our company, Joe, just think about it", said his wife to him and he just becomes quiet for some seconds,

"But Kitty, he is asking for our daughter, our only one daughter, my princess", said Joe as tears filled in his eyes but his wife just rubbed his back,

"What you think Joe, that I do not love our daughter, I also love her Joe, she is my daughter too but for our company, we just have to do that", she said and his husband just took a deep breath, his eyes were still so teary,

"I will talk to her in the morning, just do not tell her anything about this, let me just think about it first", said Joe and his wife just nodded her head, his mind is not working properly, he is feeling so numb at this moment and he does not know what should he do at this time, how can he sell his daughter to save his company, that would be so unfair with her, she does not deserve this,

"Do not think that much Joe, we will have no one if your boss denies to help us, we will lose our everything, just think about it, we will lose our company, this house and everything, where the hell we will go, we will come on road Joe, do you want to see our daughter on the road begging to others", said Katty and Joe just shook his head, he does not want this but he also does not want to send his only daughter with his monster boss, he just knows how evil his boss his, and his daughter is just like a butterfly, how she will survive with that monster,

"But how can I send my daughter with that monster for money", said Joe with tearful eyes and his wife just hugged him,

"We will try our best to keep her happy, we will make her learn to survive and after that, if she will not feel good with him, we will take her back to us", said Katty and wiped Joe's tears,

"Are you sure this will work", Joe asked her and she nodded her head positively, she just knows how his husband is, he will deny this offer and after that, they would be on-road and no one will help them, Katty is smart and she does not want to go on the road like this, she also loves her daughter but not more than her husband, she just knows his company is everything for him and if he loses his company, he will lose everything and he will be shattered and she can not see his husband like that, she is ready to do everything to save his husband and his company and now she is even ready to sell her daughter to save her husband,

"Do not worry Joe, I am sure this will work and nothing will happen wrong, our daughter is a strong girl and she will survive this battle, you just have to trust this now, we are not having options, we just have to do this, I will talk to Irish the next day and promise me you will not say anything", said Katty to him and he just looked at her with wide eyes,

"She will be shattered, my baby will be shattered after hearing this, she does not want this Katty", said Joe and his sadness was visible in his eyes and there is no way that he can justify what he is doing,

"Joe, you do not need to think that much, I just know her, she is a strong girl and she will do this for you", said Katty and try to make him understand and Joe just took a deep breath and walked into his room, Katty started doing her work and just then Irish came down and hugged Katty from behind,

"Mom, I am so hungry, you did not even call me for dinner", she said to her mom in a complaining tone and her mom just turned her head and looked at her daughter with so much love in her eyes,

"I was about to call you honey, just sit here and I will serve you", said her mom with a big smile on her face, she just caressed her hair and kissed her head, Irish just smiled at her mom coz she is feeling that her mom is behaving a little extra care today,

"Mom, you are so cute and I just love you so much", said Irish and her mom just smiled at her, she just gave her the plate and Irish just took it from her hands,

"Thank you so much mom", said Irish and started eating her food, food was so yummy and Irish was so happy,

"Mom, food is so yummy today, thank you", said Irish and her mom just again smiled at her,

"Mom, just come and eat with me", said Irish and her mom just shook her head,

"I will eat it later baby, you just can eat it", said her mom to her and she just made a sad look,

"Oh come on, mom, why you are denying to me, I am eating alone and you will also eat alone so just come and eat with me", said Irish again and this time her mom just listen to her and sat with her,

"Why you are so stubborn honey", said her mom and she was about to grab a plate but Irish stopped her,

"Mom, you do not need to take another plate, you can eat with me", she said and Katty just smiled at her daughter like that, she just knows that her daughter loves her so much and what she is gonna do to her is so unfair and she will never forget her for doing this to her, but she is not having any option and she just have to do this to save his husband coz she just knows that he will not be able to handle this,

"I am so glad that you liked this food", said her mom and she smiled at her mom,

"Mom, I just love the food you make for us, I always say that you have magic in your hands", said Irish and her mom just passed a big smile to her, Katty's heart was getting so heavy as it was getting hard for her to eat while she knows that she has to send her daughter away from her and she does not know how her daughter will survive all this pain all alone, but she is thinking that someone has to sacrifice their life to save other life,

"Aww my baby, I just love you so much", said Katty to her and hugged her,

"I love you more mom and I will stay with you always", said Irish and kissed her mom's cheek, Katty's eyes got teary after hearing her words but she is feeling so helpless at this time, she is not having options so she just has to do it,

"Now go and sleep, you just have to go to college the next day", said her mom to Irish as they finished their dinner, it was so hard for Katty to eat like this with a heavy heart,

"Yes mom, good night and sleep well and do not forget that I just love you so much", said Irish to her mom and walked back into her room, Katty also finished her work and went to her room, she saw that Joe was still up and he was sitting in the balcony and he was lost in deep thoughts, Katty's heart was aching so bad to see her husband like this, she is ready to do everything to save Joe and his company but she is so helpless, she knows that it would be not easy for her to send her daughter away from her and she knows that Irish will never agree for this, it would be so hard to pursue Irish, but she will do everything for Joe, she will try her best to convince Irish and if she did not agree she will force her if it will be needed,

"Hey, Joe, why you did not sleep yet, why you are sitting here alone here and I am so glad that you are not smoking at least, it is not good for your health and you know that", said Katty and he just took a deep breath,

"You really think that you can convince Irish, she is our daughter and I just know her so well that she will never agree on this, she loves her career so much and she will never compromise his future for our company, and we are also doing wrong with her, I do not think that we should do that with her", said Joe and his wife just looked at him with worried eyes,

"Honey, we are doing nothing wrong, we are just trying to save our lives, we are just right at our place, only she could save us at this time and we just can not do anything about it", said Katty to him and hugged him tightly, it is a really tough time for Smith family and now god knows what will happen, how Katty will convince her daughter coz deep down she also knows that her daughter is exactly the same what Joe is saying,

"Now let us go and sleep, we just have to wake up the next day and I need to talk to Irish too", said Katty and took Joe inside and they both just laid on the bed, Joe's mind can not stop thinking about what happened today and he was still so shocked that destiny is playing such a cruel game with him, he never thought that one day he will have to see this day when he will think about to sell his own daughter for money,

"Joe, I just know that you love Irish so much and it is so hard for you to think about it but just trust me, you just have to stop thinking that much about this matter and it would be better if you let me handle this, you just stay away from this", said Katty but Joe's heart is clenching in pain, he just saw so many dreams of her daughter and he saw the dream when a guy will come for his daughter's hand, and now he is having the only option and that is he is gonna sell his daughter for money,

"How I will be able to do that Katty, I just do not know if I would be ever able to forgive myself for this", said Joe and a tear fell from his eye, and Katty just wiped his face and hugged him,

"I told you nothing will happen, Joe, you are thinking too much, everything will stay control and I will talk to her, now sleep", said Katty and switch off the lights of the room,

The next morning-

Irish woke up early in the morning and took a bath and got ready for her college, she was a little excited as it was her project day and she worked hard for her project, the teacher always appreciates her work so she always stays excited about her work, she went down and saw her mom was still sleeping so she did not want to bother her mom, she just went into the kitchen and made tea for everyone, she even made sandwiches for her mom and dad with tea,

"Good morning honey, what are you doing", her mom asked her as she saw her daughter in the kitchen at this time,

"I just saw that you were sleeping so I just made tea and breakfast for all of us", said Irish and her mom's heart got heavy after hearing her words, she cares so much about her family,

"Aww my baby, when did you grow that much honey", said her mom and pulled her into a hug, Irish is always like that, always throwing her love on her family and now god knows what will happen when she will hear the news of her wedding with her dad's boss,
