Megan Pov
I stood there on the attic balcony, fuming with rage to kill someone, I dreamed all my life for my higher studies, now She wants me to stay home, I chose Daniel over my dream, but never thought of giving up on my dreams, as I was literally screaming in my head, Daniel's hands slipped around my waist... and hugged me from back, but I was not in the mood to entertain him at present, but what surprised me was, what Daniel said
"Hai Minion, You will do what you think is correct to your heart, ok... no one has control over you, not even me... I love you and don't enslave you, you chose me on your future, dream, your free to do what you want... ok, join work tomorrow, prepare for your entrance, 99% what I want, not less by a percentage... "
I turned, hugged Daniel tightly, sobbed like a kid... I just wanted to be there like this, Daniel pulled me away from him, and said...
"Go get ready, I will take you out"
as we both were talking, my mobile rang, it was my Aunt...
"Megan, we are leaving today, and even Ava is leaving, come home for lunch with Daniel... "
"But Aunt... we thought of... "
"Meg, Come home with Daniel, we will wait for you both... "
Dad said, I nodded and said "Ok Dad"
and turned to Daniel and said,
"Aunt, Uncle, Ava, are leaving tonight, Dad wants us to be there for lunch, if you don't want to go, then it is fine, I can tell... I am not coming"
"Why will you do that, They must be missing you, let's go... get ready"
we both got ready, I wore my simple denim jeans with a white shirt, while Daniel wore a black shirt with the same denim jeans as mine, we were getting down the stairs when Becka sat with Aunt Abel in the living room when we passed them, Daniel took his bike keys, while his mother, ignoring me asked Daniel...
"Danny, after what all she spoke so disrespectful to me, you are happily going out with her... Seriously, Danny, You think now she's so important to you, more than us"
"Mom, please... we are just been married for 20 days, why are you making our life so miserable... Megan's parents wanted us for Lunch at their place, we were going there Mom, Please, let's talk when I am back"
"Oh... ok, you have got new relatives, so no need of us anymore... go on"
"Mom, Please... that's enough for one day..."
Daniel was pissed off, he pulled me out, from there to the elevator and bought me to the parking, Daniel was so much terrifying, he kicked the elevator door, and leaned on his bike, I was sad for him, he was struggling between me and his mother, I walked to him, and hugged Daniel, he placed his head on my shoulder, breathed ... and looked up at me with red eyes, I didn't dare to speak anything to Daniel... after few seconds, Daniel smiled and said,
"Come, let's go...."
He started his bike, we reached our house in 5 minutes, My aunt was playing with Ash... my niece, all my sadness, confusion vanished the minute I saw her laughing happily sitting in my garden swing... I ran to her hugged her in my arms, tears flicked from my eyes that I was controlling from the day I was married, seeing me crying, My aunt ran to me hugged me in her arms...
"What happened Megan, why are crying baby... Brother Adam... Megan is here... "
Third-Party Pov
Daniel parked his bike, turned to see Megan hugging her niece Ash... she was crying... Daniel walked to take Megan in his arms, but her Aunt hugged Megan and called her Dad... Mr Felix rushed out from the main door to the garden, seeing Megan cry, He was panicked, Mr Felix pulled Megan into his arms and asked,
"Meg, what happened baby why are you crying, did anyone hurt you... Meg... baby, tell Dad"
Daniel stood there helplessly, he didn't know what to say, he was well aware that Megan was hurt by his mother again and again, but he was in a position, even if he supported Megan, he was not willing to give up on his mother, who was sick..., as he slowly walked to Megan side, Mr Felix asked Daniel with a firm tone,
"What happened to Megan why is she crying, is something not ok at your house for her.."
Daniel looked at Mr Felix's furious face and said,
"It's nothing Sir, she was all fine, Megan must have missed you all"
"You can call me Dad, why do you call me Sir"
while Megan lifted her head and looked at Daniel and smiled bitterly, which made Daniel spite blood... in few minutes the whole family was out to console her after Megan stopped crying, Mr Felix didn't allow anyone to touch Megan, he just kept her in his arms, Mrs Jenet was helping in the kitchen, seeing Megan she smiled and asked,
"How are you baby, is all good, if you need any help in your new place, call me I will come to help you... Ok"
"Thank you, Aunt Jenet..."
Megan hugged her and said, after she entered the living room to see her sister and Ben who walked with Ash, after standing with her aunt in the garden, sitting on the couch, but didn't react much to her, Mrs Felix walked out of the kitchen and asked Megan
"Megan, sit why are standing where is Dad"
"He went to Study with uncle...to get something I think"
Megan answered while looking at her sister, who was trying to ignore her while her brother-in-law ignored her... it was all they doing and now they both were acting like it was all Megan's mistake, Mr Felix walked down with his brother...with a file in his hands, seeing Megan still standing in the living room, he asked,
"Meg, sit why are still standing, and where is Daniel"
meanwhile, Megan's aunt held Daniel's hand and said,
"Daniel, Megan is a very stubborn girl, she never compromises on anything, but she gave up all her future and came for you, treat her well..."
Daniel nodded his head, but he was worried in his heart, even a maid was treating Megan like her now, but his mother treated her as an enemy, used all filthy words on her... how was he going to give Megan all the happiness of life???? as he thought, Daniel nodded his head and said,
"Ok Mam, I will see to that, Megan is never sad again..."
"Why are you calling us Mam, Sir... you are going to call me Aunt and my husband Uncle, while you're going to call Megan's parents Mom and Dad... got it, no reminders anymore... that's final"
Daniel smiled and nodded his head and said.... "Ok Aunt"
Aunt Felix smiled and walked hand in hand with Daniel into the living room, She like Daniel, more than Ben... who was too posh... she was comfortable to be and talk with Daniel who was like the next door guy, humble, gentle, as they walked in Uncle Felix mocked his wife by saying,
"Blending with your Son-in-law... Wow look how close you both are"
Aunt Felix smiled at her husband's comment and said,
"Of course I have and will Blend well with my only one son-in-law, what there for you to be jealous"
as soon those words left her aunt Felix's mouth, Ava pouted and said,
"Aunt you're always partial to Megan, if Daniel is your only son-in-law, what about Ben then..."
Aunt Felix, smiled again and sat with Daniel by her side on the couch and said,
"Megan is my Goddaughter and Daniel is her husband which makes him, my own son-in-law, but Ben is my Sister's son-in-law, while he's my niece husband, I stand in the second line of the relationship with him..."
Ava stuck her young out..and teased her aunt... and then Mrs Felix asked aunt Jenet to serve tea to all, and asked to get coffee for Megan, Daniel looked up at his Mother-in-law and said,
"Mom, I too will have coffee"
Mrs Felux smiled and nodded... teasingly said,
"Wow, not bad....going with your wife's taste...good...good"
as all were having they drink, Ben asked Daniel...
"I heard you work for S&S Corporation if you want you can join my tourism company in M city as a manager, the salary is good... and you get free accommodation"
as he finished. Megan looks at him with an irritated look, she wanted to defend her husband, but Daniel opened his mouth, while he shook his head and waved his hand...
"No need Mr Ben, I am very happy with my company, and I am promoted as Board of Directors and my salary is very good"
Mr Felix turned to look at Daniel in amazement, he was well aware that he was a hard-working boy... his progress surprised him.. all in the living room smiled and congratulated Daniel, Megan smiled and said,
"He's joining as a Board of Directors tomorrow in S&S"
Mrs Felix smiled and said, it will take another hour for lunch, what all are guys planning, Megan turned to her mother and said,
"I need few things of mine from my room, I will get it mom"
Uncle Felix generously said...
"Daniel you should go with Megan, and help her packing..."
Daniel nodded and walked with Megan to her room, which he was well aware of... as they walked away, Ava looked at her husband and confronted him in front of all her family...
"What was that... join your company, do you look down on my sister and her husband... even I am upset with her Ben, but degrading or ridiculing, my sister or her husband is not allowed..."
as she said Ava tried to walk up to her room, but Ben clutched her wrist and tugged her to his side and said...
"Are that stupid Ava, to think me so cheap, how many years you have known me, Didn't you look how hanged Megan is, all her playfulness, her cham, even her smile is missing... she must be very stressed in Daniel's house, if I offered him a job in M city, she can move there, be happy, and the villa is vacant, Daniel and Megan can live there, that's all I meant..."
Ava hugged Ben and apologised for her misinterpretation of his intentions.... all happily cheered Ava, but no one noticed Megan at the end of the stairs, who came out to take the high stool, She stood there with tears in her eyes, the sister who was fighting for her, a brother in law who was thinking about her happiness...and a family that cared for her even after she broke their hearts... Megan felt that she was blessed, as stood there, Daniel came to see her with tears in her eyes, he walked fast to her and hugged her I his arms and asked,
"What happened Meg, why are crying often nowadays, I feel it is all my mistake, I shouldn't have asked you to marry me.."
as finished his words, Megan turned to Daniel,
"It's not that, Ava was fighting with Ben, because she thought Ben humiliated you, but Ben explained to her, he was doing this for me, as he can't even see my real smile anymore, and just wanted us to be happy in M city..."
Daniel understood, what happened a few minutes ago, so he wanted to help them.. by sending them away from his family, he shook his head and asked Megan..
"Megan, do you want to go away from here, then I will resign, and we can move to M city..."
"What nonsense are you talking, even if it was for our good, whatever you are is with your own hard work... so. I don't want you to quit, ok"
Daniel hugged megan to her room, closed the door, and kissed her, the lunch went well, Mr Felix gave a file to Daniel and said, it's his Marriage gift for his daughter and him, After a while, Megan and Daniel said they byes to all and left to Daniel's house, without even knowing what was in the file...
