Megan Pov
A few weeks passed, I quit the job with Professor, was helping Ellie with her wedding preparation, while Daniel was accompanying Jack Bro, I took Mia a few times out with me, while shopping and even her Bridesmaid dress were ready, I got up little early two days before Jack bro wedding, Daniel was in deep sleep, I was losing my sleep, but I didn't know why... I was not able to sleep properly after we came from Maldives, I went down for my coffee, Aunt Abel was in the kitchen...her behaviour was quite decent in recent days... as I entered, she said...
"Good morning Dear... Where is Danny, is he waiting for his coffee, he started liking coffee recently..."
as she said she smirked at me, I just replied to her...
"Good Morning, Aunt Abel, he's still sleeping..."
as my words were said, Aunt Abel turned to ms and said,
"Megan, let's talk... I need a proper talk with you"
As she said, aunt Abel dragged me to study and closed the door...I was actually dumbfounded by the way she acted... I stood there so very confused... when Abel spoke...
"See Megan, personally I don't have any grudges on you... but when it comes to Danny, I don't like you, you are not the right person for him..."
"Then who is the right person for him Mrs Reid... Becka, that niece of yours, you think Daniel will even have a look at her..."
"That's not your consent, I his mother will see to it, you should leave him with your own ways, or I will make you leave him, with all I got..."
"Oh wow, if not me consent, who's it is, he is my husband, I am his legal wife by law and I should leave him, so you can set him up with a Mistress..."
"What nonsense you're talking about, this is how you're bought up, looks like your parents have not thought you how to respect elders..."
"My parents have thought me well, it's not that I don't know to respect, but who the bloody elder here... Mrs Reid don't tell me it's you, it would be the finest joke"
Mrs Ried lost it this time... she tried to slap me when I caught hold of her wrist and pulled her out of the door... I was facing my back to the living room, as we came out Mrs Reid started to shout...
"Megan what are you doing, it hurts, I know I was wrong... I even apologised to you, why are you behaving like this early in the morning"
I was startled by Mrs Reid words... thinking why is she suddenly changing the topic, before I can even process it, the voice that came from the back terrified me...
"Megan, let go of my Mom's hand...."
so rude, Jesus Christ...what was that, I turned to see Daniel standing in the living room, near the couch, I have never seen him so angry, but I was not afraid as nothing was my mistake... I let go of Mrs Reid's hand and said...
"Danny, listen I can explain....Your mother....."
before I could finish... Daniel yelled
"Shut up Megan... this is it, how dare you try to harm her... she's my mother and you have no respect for her at all, what you think, that we are cheap people"
"Danny what are you talking about... it was your mother who started...please listen... what she said is I...."
"Can you please stop it, Megan, I know you don't want to live with me here in this house so it's not that, you can falsely blame my mother"
He yelled again...Mia came for my rescue, she said
"Danny, please listen to what Megan as to say, think rationally"
"Mia you shut up and go to your room, where have you learnt such disrespectful behaviour, when elders are talking, talking in the middle... Go Now"
Mrs Reid said....
I looked at Mia, Mia shook her head and went back to her room, Daniel was as horrifying as he was... I didn't want to explain any more or to anyone... it's of no use, he values his mother so much, he doesn't want to give me a chance... then it's done, I waited for his next words, Daniel turned to me and said,
"Apologise to my mom now Megan... "
"No matter what Daniel, I will not seek for an apology, when it's not my mistake... you can do what you want to do about it"
Mr Reid came out and said,
"Daniel it's ok, leave it here, Megan must not meant it, but why were they both in my study..."
"Dad I don't care what they were doing in your study but what Megan did is wrong, she tried to hurt mom"
his words stabbed me like a knife... the blood of pain dripped all over my body making me weak... I wanted to cry, but I controlled my tears from falling, it will give Mrs Reid what she wanted... and I... Megan Felix will not give her that satisfaction, and giving away my pride in front of such a low life...who is tricking her own son, with her fake tears... I passed Mrs Reid, and tried walking to Attic, when Daniel suddenly, tugged my wrist with so much force, I was not about to balance myself, fell to the ground, my knee hurt so much... but Daniel didn't even care, he dragged me up and said,
"Megan, say sorry to Mom, that's final"
tears filled my eyes making, not able to see Daniel's face but I didn't let it fall, I am Adam Felix's daughter... I have my own pride and self-esteem which I will never ever give up for anyone...not even for Daniel, I said to myself and pushed Daniel hard to move away from me, and said...
"I did no wrong, I will not say sorry to anybody, Daniel"
as I finished... Mrs Reid ran to Daniel holding his hands...
"Danny don't be angry, it's nothing I am not hurt, look... why you want to fight with Megan, she's young does know how to behave...she will learn"
the way she manipulated Daniel, I clapped for her in my heart... this woman is got talent... before anyone can talk, Mr Reid asked
"Abel, why were you both in my study, you were supposed to be in the kitchen... what were you doing in there"
Mrs Reid stammered and said
"That...that....I went to dust your table, while Megan came, and said...that Daniel is not leaving this house because of me, and said, she will not let him to be with me..."
I just gave her a bitter smile... what a lie, I turned to look at Daniel, nothing or no one was of my consent in this house... it was only him, as I was immersed in my thoughts, my mobile rang... I took my call and answered it to see it was from my professor, I said Daniel...
"I have to take the call, it's from my professor"
he gave me a ruthless look, I didn't care much, and walked out to the balcony, and answered the call....
"Hello Megan, it's me... there is really good news for you, after repeated requests and petitions, Govt as agreed for the mid way entrance exam, so you may have your exam in a month or two, you can join the University in this year-end"
I was so happy... I thanked him again and again, returned happily to Daniel to say, but thinking what happened just now, I erased the idea from my head, I call my Dad, and said him...
"Dad, the entrance is pre-pounded in a month or two..."
"Oh great Megan, that's really nice, your Uncle and Aunt have come here, come home for dinner"
"Ok Dad, I will come"
when I turned I saw Danny standing there, with a grave face... but I didn't bother much with him, it was enough to be hurt for now, by him, I didn't want to have another fight with him... so passed him and went to our room... he followed me while I went to the washing room to take a shower I wanted to wash away what all happened now... didn't even wanted to remember that Daniel even shouted at me,which was a grave disappointment for me.... I took a hot bath... for about half an hour, came out from the washroom to see Daniel sitting at the same place when I left... I walked into the closet, dressed simply, and packed all my things, I need for Ellie's wedding, pulled my bag and filled my hand bag with my wallet mobile, grabbed my keys and walked out with my heels on, without even turning to Daniel, when I reached our room door, Daniel called...
"Meg... your leaving, but where are you going, we need to talk"
"Wow... Meg, seriously, Daniel, now you call me Meg, so long you were screeching, Megan... Megan in middle of your house, never mind... I know who's important to you now, I am going to my home, as my uncle and aunt have come, will see in the wedding"
"Meg... listen, I was angry, will you not be angry if I behave like that to your mom or dad... just don't make a fuss about it"
I was choked by his words, I am making fuss... I didn't want to have any talk or even explain to him...
"It's ok Daniel, it's ok for you to be angry, and you can be angry for how long you want, but I have no time for it, so, I am going home... I need some peace from all this drama, I will not be surprised if your mother finds a mistress for you before I come back"
as I said I turned and walked out of the room, as I reached the living room, I saw Mr Reid, going out with his keys, must be left for work... When he disappeared from the eyes of Mrs Reid, tugged her lips to me and said,
"Leaving so soon, very soon accepted your defeat, I didn't actually think you're so weak... you saw it right, how much my son adores me"
I didn't answer her just passed her with a heavy heart, as reached inside the elevator, I couldn't hold my tears... my tears dropped like, dripping water from a broken water pipe... I opened my car, and drove to my house, I comforted myself, cleaned my face, opened the car door and walked in side my house....
