The next day... Daniel left home very soon, for his early morning flight, as he had to deal with the project in C city, it was a two-day business trip, Megan got up to see a note on her side table,
"Hai, Meg I will be back on Friday... on a business trip to C city, will call as soon I reach... be good"
Megan up put the note in her side table drawer and went took a quick shower and walked down to see all her friends with Mia, sitting in the living room, as Megan came she went smiled at all, walked to the kitchen, to make her coffee, as she entered the kitchen her phone rang, Megan picked the call to see, it was from Daniel,
"Woke up... "
"Yaa, just now"
"What are you doing... love"
"Love... wow, too romantic early morning"
"All ready I miss you, Meg"
"Me too"
"Ok... it's only 48hours, I will be back, it was very important work... I need to approve the construction plan, that's why I left, will be they be tomorrow night"
"Ok.. take care, eat properly... didn't starve yourself, can you please pass the mobile to Eric"
"Why to Eric..."
"I need to say him something... give to him"
Daniel passed the Mobile to Eric with a straight face, he was not happy that Megan was speaking to Eric, Eric took the mobile with some hesitation... and said,
"Madame, What can I do for you"
"Eric... please take care of him, he will skip his meals, just to finish his work fast, please give him something to eat, don't let him starve"
"Ok, Madame, I will take care, if he doesn't listen I will call you"
"What are you going to call, her for..."
as Eric cut the call, Daniel asked Eric, Eric looked at Daniel and said
"Madame, said me to call her if you skip your meal"
Daniel took his mobile and walked out of the airport with a smile, and said
"Okay, come on let's go to have breakfast"
"Breakfast... Boss... "
"Yaa come, didn't your Madame tell you, not to skip any meal"
Eric was surprised by what Daniel said, he shook his head and walked with Daniel into a nearby restaurant...to have breakfast, after that, both Daniel and Eric, took a cab to direct to the S&S office and started to work, the plan was good, which made Daniel work easy... Back in K city, all the five people went out on a walk to the lake after breakfast, asked Mrs Cathy to cook, as they reached the lake... Megan wanted to go on a boat ride, so Olivia, Megan took one boat, while Ray and Mia were in one, and Riley had excused himself from boating as he was In a call with his girlfriend when the boat reached the centre of the lake, Olivia and Megan smiled and asked the boat guy to take them back to the deck, Mia and Ray were left alone, in the lake, they had taken the pedalling boat... after have seen quite a bit, Mia and Ray came back to the deck, Once they reached, Megan pulled Ray yo a side asked
"Ray, did you propose Mia..."
"No"
"Why... Ray, you had a good time to say"
"I'm not telling her... now Megan"
"But...Why Ray"
"I will tell once, after she's met with her suitor"
"What nonsense... your talking, is it really important that you should propose to her after her suitor's visit"
"Yaa, Megan, she should have a choice, it should not be only me or him... I want her to see, her opinions and decide for herself, which is good for her"
"Mmm, I understand"
"So when are you planning to tell her"
"If she's really impressed and wants to marry, that guy, I will never tell her, But if she doesn't like him, and I had a choice, then I will propose to her, I have even bought a ring"
"Ok, then we will wait for another four days"
"ok... this is going to hell"
the other two days went peacefully, Daniel called every two hours once, and Megan and her friends enjoyed with Mia a lot... though Ray was head over keeps for Mia, he controlled his emotions, and wanted to wait till Sunday... it was Friday, late-night Daniel walked into the house to see Mia, alone in the first floor... Daniel walked to her and asked
"Mia....what are you doing here, so late, .why didn't you sleep"
"Danny, your back... you must be exhausted, go rest, I am just not sleepy"
"It's ok I am not that exhausted, tell me...what happened, why do you look so lost"
"It's nothing... I am just thinking... from tomorrow, I will back to reality, where I can't be me"
"Why do you think that... "
"Tomorrow after you drop me back home, I should get ready to please, my suitor and his family, losing myself in the process"
"Mia... tell me what you want to do, really what you have in your mind... tell me"
"Danny, I don't want to marry this suitor... who were or how big his family is, or how much ever money he as, I want to marry a compassionate person and who cherishes me...only me"
"Have you found one..."
"I don't know... Danny, I don't know, Maybe, I am scared to accept that I also like someone, and terrified to lose him, if our family force me into the wedding"
"Mia... I promise you one thing... if you like someone, and he too likes you back, I will support you till the end, and see my little sis finds her true love"
"Thank you, Danny"
"Sunday drama is to satisfy our family, if you didn't like that guy, I am open to talk about your choice..."
Mia nodded her head with tears in her eyes.... and caressed head and said,
"Don't think too much, with me here, no one can get you married you away, without your wish, do you understand"
"Yes... "
"Now go to sleep... I need to see my little wife"
Mia giggled and walked into her room, where Olivia was sleeping soundly, but Daniel and Mia missed was, a person who was standing on the stairs, listening to all the talk... Ray, thought
"Does she to like me as I like her... how frustrated is she, thinking that they will get her married to that guy"
Ray walked down to the room where he stayed, laid on the bed thinking what to do, whereas Daniel entree his too to see, Megan studying, Daniel tipped to Megan, and saw she was preparing for her entrance...Daniel kissed her, on her temple, and asked,
"finished... working too hard"
"Dannyyyy, when did you come, I missed you so much"
"Me too... I am here now love"
"yaa... your here"
"I will be back... I need a shower badly"
"Mmmm, make it fast, I am sleepy"
Daniel nodded and went to take a shower, Megan closed her laptop and walked to her bed, and laid there to sleep, when Daniel came out he saw his little wife... laying on the bed, he walked to her and laid next to her, pulled her into his embrace to sleep, and said
"I missed this touch of your... I am getting addicted to hugging you to sleep Meg, what am I going do once you go to your college"
"You can transfer to B city, we can live together in uncle's house..."
"That won't be that easy Meg... I have a lot of things to handle in here"
"I understand... you can come to meet me too often"
"I will do that"
as they finished, Megan slept in Daniel's arms... the night was peaceful.
