Third-Party Pov
Daniel held Megan in his arms talking about his work, his family, and Megan told him a lot about her family and slept in his arms, Daniel looked down at the sleeping Megan in his arms and decided to sleep in her room... Though it was torture to him to suppress his desires...he was happy to be next to her, holding her while sleeping.
The night went peacefully...the next morning, Megan woke up in Daniel's arms, she was first puzzled, but then remembered that she and Daniel were talking last night and she fell asleep in his arms...
Daniel woke when Megan got up, he was a very light sleeper, even simple touch can wake him from sleep, when he opened his eyes, Megan kissed his forehead and said,
"Happy Birthday Daniel..."
Daniel smiled and said,
"I wish, You wake up every day in my arms...Meg"
Megan smiled shyly and went to the washroom, she cleaned herself, while Daniel got up from bed and said,
"I will go clean up and I will come down, we will go for breakfast together, and I am going home, I will back by afternoon...do you want to come with me, Meg"
Megan shook her head, and told,
"It's ok Danny, you go... it's not the right time for me to come to your house...I will come some other time..."
"Ok then, I will be back in 10 minutes"
Daniel hurried to the room he shared with Jack, and washed up himself and came back in 10 minutes, to Megan room, dressed in a new Maroon proper formal shirt, with a pair of White body fit formal pants, he looked very mature in the formal... as Megan heard the doorbell, she grinned and walked out with her mobile, Megan was dressed in a casual blue solid Denim shirt dress with high and low hem and a pair of matching pullover canvas shoes... she looked very beautiful, with a simple outfit and make up less face...
Daniel and Megan walked to the dining hall, while Daniel saw Jack and Ellie, coming out from the west gate...All four of them went together for breakfast, it was a fabulous breakfast...after breakfast, Daniel left for his house to meet his parents, when Daniel entered the house he was shocked to see Becka sitting in the living room with his granny...He ignored them and walked to the kitchen to see his mother cooking his favourite food, he went and hugged her from behind and said,
"Morning...Mom"
Abel turned happily Hugged Daniel and said,
"Happy Birthday Daniel...let all your dreams come true...May the almighty bless you with abundance..."
She kissed his forehead, and suddenly remembered that Becka was in the living room, and panicked...she explained Daniel,
"I didn't bring Becka back, she came with granny for few days, and Becka wanted to collect her study certificate, so She can join any course in T city..."
"Mom, why do you panic...I have no consent about who stays here anymore, so don't worry..."
Abel went pale at Daniel's words... she thought to herself...
"Does that mean he's going to never come back here...."
She sheepishly blinked at Daniel, and Abel and Daniel walked out of the kitchen, Daniel went to his Grann's side and sat there, anyway she was old, he didn't want to upset her...His Granny pulled out a Red packet, from her bag and gave Daniel....and said,
"Happy Birthday...Danny"
Daniel was very polite, took the packer and thanked his Granny, while she hugged him and said again...
"Danny, I don't have many years left, I wish if you can forgive your uncle, brother and especially Becka for what they have done...Let her stay here and finish her studies"
Abel panicked again and answered before Daniel...
"Mom, how is that even possible, these three people have gone back on my back did something so outrageous things... I can not allow Becka to stay here"
Daniel quietly watched their conversation...but didn't answer anything, Mr Reid walked out of the study, to see all of them sitting in the living room except Mia...He came down and wished Daniel.
"Happy Birthday...Son",
Daniel nodded his head and thanked his dad, while Mr Reid pulled out a bank card from his pocket and stuffed it in his hand. Daniel shook his head and said,
" No... Dad, I don't need money anymore, I am earning, keep this for Mia's needs"
Mr Reid looked at his son with administration, none of his sons was this responsible or selfless...
Mia came out of her room, well dressed, as soon she saw Daniel, She jumped into his arms and hugged him and said
"Happy Birthday... Danny, my lovely brother, You're going to stay here right, I have cleaned your room too, I miss you, Danny... Please don't go"
Daniel looked down at his sister his arms, and smiled while telling her,
"I too miss you all but give me some more time... I will come back, ok, and thank you for your wishes"
Becka was the only one who didn't wish him, she was so scared to even talk to him, Finally, she gathered some courage and walked to Daniel's room, where he was packing up some clothes to take along with him, when he saw her standing near his room door, Daniel frowned...but waited for Becka's next move, Backa walked to Daniel's side and said,
"Daniel, as I told you before... I don't even know when I started loving you or wanted you. When my Dad and Brother-in-law, suggested me something like that, I agreed because I didn't want to lose you to some unknown girl, so easily, but I regret my action... and I am sorry"
As she finished she turned to Daniel again when she reached the door and said,
"Daniel...Happy Birthday, I am very much used to be here and go to my class with Mia, if you can forgive me and allow me to stay here and complete my studies, it will be a great help"
Daniel didn't speak a word to her, stood there only listening to her... Becka left his room with no hope, it was lunchtime, all gathered in the dining room, Daniel sat next to Abel, and others sat as well, it was all Daniel's favourite food as it was his Birthday, after finishing the lunch, Mia and Becka were clearing the table and cleaning the kitchen.
Daniel sat on the couch and leaned his head on Abel's shoulder, he was very confused, what he should do, should allow Becka to stay in his house or he should deny it... after few minutes of struggle he opened his mouth and said,
"Mom, you can allow Becka to stay here and complete her studies, but tell her, she shouldn't have any unwanted ideas"
Abel...looked at him in shock, "Do you really letting her stay... Daniel, do you forgive her..."
"No Mom, it's not about only me, even Mia needs company, and anyway I stay out now, so it's not going to be a problem"
"Danny, then you have decided not to come back home right, you don't want us anymore...as you have got a good job, all that you needed, so we are nothing to you now...right"
Daniel was stunned by Abel's words, he didn't mean that, he was more generous, allowing the person who drugged him, to stay in his house and his mother was talking nonsense,
"Mom, I didn't mean that way, I wanted to think about Granny's wish, and even Becka apologise to me...it could be rude to ignore everything... that's why said it's ok to keep Becka here, and I will come back home, after few months. I promise you"
After some time Daniel said his bye to all and left with his backpack, as he disappeared, Backa came out with Mia from their room...and asked Abel with a sneer...
"What did he say, Aunt...was he convinced, that all this happened was a fault and will not happen again"
Mia asked, "Mom, won't he doubt that, it was all a play...we planned it all again, if he finds out, Daniel will be mad...Mom"
Becka... again asked "Yes, aunt what if he finds out again"
Abel laughed evilly..and said,
"He won' know this forever dear....let him be any good outside, here I am the boss, everything went well, Daniel, as agreed in you staying. Now you have to act like you have lost interest in him, and you're wholeheartedly wishing him a happy life with that little bitch"
"Yes... Aunt, I understand..."
His Granny smirked and said, "It's all age magic, he will be back when he's done with that girl, but we slowly need to inform that girl's house...and show Daniel in bad books, we need proper planning, wait for few more months...Daniel has to first let his guard down, and we will wait for Jovel to come back..."
All the women in the living room laughed...with pride in their accomplishment, in cheating Daniel again....
Without any knowledge of what's happening behind him... Daniel happily drove his bike back to the resort, to attend his friend's engagement...and to be with his Goblin....
