I Will Survive 3 3. You Canno

She went to sit on her chair and greeted him with her best possible smile "Good morning, dad". Lucas looked up from his newspaper and glanced at Lara. He saw her wide smile and then greeted back with a small smile "morning".

Lara was nervous this time. She didn't know why she was nervous in front of her father. Maybe it was because she didn't actually talk about her school and education related stuff to him before. It was all taken care by her aunt and Lucas's sister, Rose Gomez. She is a sweet lady and loved her dearly. She loved her like her own daughter.

She was with her when her father was trying hard to stabilize his new success and when he didn't had much time for Lara. Rose never married. She didn't believe in marriages, to her marriages were utter bulls.h.i.t and nothing but just a name to a relationship in which love dies gradually and you cannot wait to be away from your partner at some point of life. But she had a very colorful life: plenty of boyfriends and... girlfriends, late night parties and tons of friends from every corner of world.

Lara's Grandparents didn't like her because of her bis.e.xual nature. They thought of her as their biggest mistake and didn't want to stay in contact with her but Lucas loved his sister and henceforth gave her a separate house to live and he also supports her living expenses.

He didn't despised her sister's s.e.xual choices. He just thought that everyone cannot be same and just said matter of factly that she just have more varieties to choose from. Lara also learned from her father that there is nothing wrong with her aunt unlike how her grandparents thought of her.

Rose was also Oliver's favorite from Gomez family because they both liked to party and enjoy their lives carelessly.

Lara started after a cough "Dad, actually there's something I want to discuss with you."

Lucas stared at her "Hmm?". She did not say anything even after an affirmative answer from her father to continue. She heard it loud and clear but was unsure of how to start the conversation. Lucas thought that she didn't hear him properly so he said it out loudly than before "What is it?"

After a pause of minute Lara started "Uhhh... actually I wanted to discuss with you about my future goals and want to discuss with you that I want to take..." She stretched her sentence under her father's glare, "that I want to take medical and become a gynecologist in the future."

Lucas heard her words and then after 2 minutes of silence he replied "why gynecologist?"

Lara was starting to get very nervous as her father didn't reply for a long time and just as she was going to speak once again elaborating her plans, he asked why she want to be a gynecologist. It was for her mother. Always has been. Her sole dream and goal.

She looked up at her father and explained calmly "Mom died because of doctor's inability and because proper treatment and facilities were not provided in the hospital back in Alamo, as it was a small village. I want to be a great gynecologist and help as many women as I can so that I can help to reduce maternity mortality ratio."

Lucas was deeply touched when he heard her daughter's reasoning. The sole thought of her helping others touched his heart. But then he thought...the empire, the business he nurtured all these years, what will happen to it? If Lara will not inherit his business and not run the company and his men then what will happen to his hard work all these years, his efforts.

He cannot wait for Lara to give birth to an heir as it was a long time and he was not sure that he'll live till that day. He thought about it thoroughly and then said "Lara, you cannot".

His stern statement without any hint of sarcasm in his voice shook Lara. She was not expecting this at all.

She lightly asked "Why dad?" She again sat in silence for two minutes before she heard a sigh escape from her father before he explained "The company I built over all these years, after all efforts I put into it is my everything. I know it was luck and hard work both that led it to where it is right now. We deal with silver and gold trading all over the world now and our jewelry line 'Ella' is globally renowned too."

Lara was getting more and more confused as to why her dad was mentioning history of their company right now. It was not related at all. She thought that her father must be facing some difficulties in company so she asked "Is there something wrong with company? Are you facing some difficulties? Why do you so worried? And why are you mentioning this right now?" Her voice laced with tension and worry for her father.

Lucas took a deep breath and then answered all of Lara's questions. "No dear, there is nothing wrong with the company and no, the company is not facing any kind of difficulties."

"Then why do you look so worried?"

"Lara... dear...listen to me carefully now. I...I want you to take up business instead of medical and get your MBA degree and then inherit this company that I've built with lots of hard work and sweat."

Lara was shocked after hearing this. Business? Take over the company? What about my dream of being a gynecologist? What about helping other women like her mother? What about her dreams? A quick thought appeared in her mind, her father must be joking, he can't be serious.
