Daniel Pov
Megan collected all her things and said bye to me and Jack, and left, I told her, "Meg, I will drop you", but she shook her head and said, "I will not disturb you in your work time, carry on with your work, I will take a cab", as she said she left the store. Jack taunted me for some time, then both continued our work, I finished a little early, I reached our apartment parking, to saw Jovel, Jessica, Becka, Mia and My Mom, getting down from a cab, and walking towards the elevator, I parked my bike and walked along with them, we all stood in the lift, in few minutes it reached 3rd floor, I was the first on one to get out, as I walked Mia held my left hand and asked,
"Danny, when you bought this silver ring, it looks good, but why are you wearing it on your ring finger". I just ruffled her hair and smiled, as I walked into the living room but didn't answer her, Jovel also came and held my hand to see the ring, I just pulled my hand, but he held it with little more force, My Mom walked to me and asked, " When did you buy this ring, it looks very nice, show me", Mom tried to remove the ring from my hand, but I pulled my hand and said, "I didn't buy mom, it's a gift from someone special". The faces of all the people in the living room changed, Jovel inquired,
"Oh, a special person, can't your special person afford a better ring than a simple silver ring", he chuckled sarcastically, my mom and others just beamed with him. I just turned to Jovel and smiled, and said,
"Joey, she can afford much better, But Megan wanted to be humble, and gifted me only a simple Solitaire diamond platinum ring", all their mouths dropped with shock.
I told my Mom, " Mom, I want to talk to you, can you please come with me", my Mom looked at everyone but walked behind me to the balcony, I made her sit, I needed to confront my Mom, Megan and my Mom both are most important people in my life, I can't afford to lose any of them. Mom sat on the chair, but she was uncomfortable, I would feel it, I asked her, "Mom, you're the closest person to me, tell me what's bothering you, I can't continue like this anymore, I ignore you, and you just give me cold shoulder, it's becoming too much mom, tell me why you're opposing Me and Megan". Finally, my Mom opened her mouth, and said, " Danny, I like you more than any of my children, I can't live without you, if you marry Becka, she will always be in our house and never take you away from me, but Megan is a rich girl, she will definitely take you away from me... that's what I am scared about", as she finished, she started to cry, it broke my heart to see my mom cry like a child in front of me.
I held her shoulder, "Come on Mom, how can you even be scared of such an issue will even come in future, Megan is a very good girl, she will always be in our home with you, so don't worry, I promise you, Whatever happens, whomever I get married or not I will never leave you". I convinced her with my promise after we cleared our misunderstanding, I hugged my mom and left for my room.
Third-party Pov
As Daniel walked away, Abel got up from her chair, kicked it down, wiped her fake tears, and sneered, " You think me to be so ignorant, listen to whatever you say, No my son, I giving you long rope, run and enjoy how much you can when the time comes I will pull you back to me", she walked to her room.
A week passed in no time, Jovel leave was coming to an end, he was supposed to leave in a couple of days. One of these days, when Daniel came home, saw Jessica was packing Jovel's luggage, while Jovel sat by her side, helping her.
Daniel walked in and took his change clothes and entered the washroom, he took his shower and came out to see only, Jovel sitting alone, Daniel sat beside him, they both spoke about few past memories and laughed, finally Jovel told Daniel, "Danny, I am leaving tomorrow for a morning train to T city, drop Jessica there and leave to my headquarters after spending two days with Granny and Uncle". Daniel looked puzzled at Jovel and asked, " What about Becka", Jovel looked surprised, "Didn't Mom tell you, Becka is going join the Girls government high school with Mia, and stay here, because Mia needs a company". Daniel nodded and didn't say anything, no one knew, what he was thinking. The next day Jovel left with Jessica. The next few days quietly passed, it was the first day for High School students...
Megan Pov
I went to the airport to say bye to Olivia with Dad after the flight departed, I wiped my tears, Dad held me, comforted me with my favourite ice cream, I smiled and took it from his hand, "My Dad is the best, he knows what I want right on time" as I said, I licked my ice cream, and nested in my Dad's arm, Dad bought me home, I and Daniel spoke every day, but didn't meet..., days passed, finally it was most awaited day, My first day to my High School, My Uncle, aunt, sister and Brother wished me, and Ben was a new addition this year, Mom hugged me, wished me, and gave me a new Parker pen. Dad drove me to our campus, we reached on time, Dad took me to the Principal office, took all my documents, Dad gave me, my Id card, I wore my id card, smiled at my Dad. He took me to my class, as he always does. I was really a little nervous, Dad tapped my head and said, "All the best, Meg, I know you will make me proud like always". I nodded my head and Dad left, I was ready to go in, when I heard a little familiar voice, calling out my name, I turned to look at who was calling...
I was so happy to see my old friends from my primary school, Reilly and Ray, these two ever my childhood friends like Olivia, we four were always together, but we separated so sadly when we were moved to Girls Junior High School. it's been a very long time I saw these two fools, Reilly and Ray ran to me, I was also so happy, didn't know where we were, I too ran fast towards my friends, I just reached them, my two long lost stupid friends just hugged me together, we had a big bear group hug, the only thing missed was Olivia...
God was graceful, we three were in the same class, we walked into our class, and sat on the same desk, I was sandwiched between these two idiots, they have not changed a bit, we were talking about Olivia moving to H city, and some thighs about few of our old classmates, I was a familiar person entering the class with a group of people. Daniel had an expressionless face, he wore an ash grey shirt, black pant, cleanly tucked, his midnight hair combed back, with little long hair touching his neck, his shining formal black shoes was reflecting the things around, he looked super hot, I have never seen him this formal, as I sat dumbfounded there staring at him...
