Ryan POV.
After I wake up, outside it's already night and I think I sleep whole day. My mom comes again "you awake, how do you feel? I guess you are too tired that's why you sleep whole day."
I make a bubbly face "ya, I guess so. You know mom how tiring it got when you travel three days alone."
Mom sat down behind me "that's right. You are that far away, that even before meeting each other we have to think about this tiring traveling"
We both laugh.
I ask her "is Derek coming ?"
Mom says "he is probably on the way. Ok then take a shower, be ready for the dinner." Then she left.
I get up and goes to washroom, when I glance at the mirror my face are like little bit swallow from sleeping whole day. I take a bath then, and get ready for the dinner. Although it's home but we have to dress up for the dinner and gatherings. I look in mirror and hen it's seems ok I head up for dining hall.
When I'm passing through stairs, someone back is on me. The wide soldiers the extreme posture and when all of them listen my steps the look behind and then, I face that man. It's almost unrecognisable that he is my brother. His features and his handsome face is all similar to father. He quickly stand up and take steps towards me. I also hurriedly climb down the stairs and when we close to each other, he hugged me with a great force. I almost take two steps back. I hugged him back. My eyes is almost in tears but I blink it back. He then take a step back and stare at my face. I laugh because of his excitement. Then he says "Rye you almost seems unidentified, when we meet last time. You even not reach my soldiers. Now look at you, oh Jesus. You know how happy I'm too see you after such a long time." He hugs me back.
I take his arms off and held it in my hands, and says "brother it's really like we meet after eternity. Look how handsome and tall you have been, it's give me a vibe of an older brother."
He laughs "I'm always your elder brother, oh I have save many gifts for you in those years, you have to take it all of them. Let's head for dinner."
When we took our seats at dining table, maids immediately serve all the food and it's really my favourite, mom took her time to manage all my likings. I glance towards her "mom, it's really nice thank you for making all this."
She said "oh! dear how can I forget such little things. Eat as much your likings."
Derek smile "you have to eat full and be strong."
I chuckle and laugh, then I remember dad has something to say. So did I ask "dad what about the important things you mentioned earlier on the phone ?"
Dad says "that's we will talk after dinner."
After we sit around at the table, and soon enough the maids serve the food...and it was truly amazing, my mom's food is always the best. My eyes shines like little kids and that makes mom happy too. Dinner is always amazing in our family.
As, after dinner we all sit in living room. Mom went in kitchen to get over desserts. Dad was like always calm and its quirck me up a little bit. Derek is try to being always playful, he loves touching my ear as always, not him but everyone, it's like kind of their toy to keep playing. Dad start the conversation "look son, earlier, I called you for a reason. You might think I'm selfish and not care about you but,...". My mom came and sit along with dad.
I little by surprised by the silence.." what happened that, you're being wrong.....why should I judge my parents? Please do tell me, it's not gonna like I'm dying"
Dad again keeps his silence, my mom support him by placing her hand on his. Dad go through a hesitation but start speaking "hey! I'm sorry my son, but we have plan a arrange marriage for you.... it's the Grayson family only son Eros." He anticipated my reaction.
I'm like literally shocked.... what is this? Is this all I came along for! I says "dad is this the thing....no, I mean I have to ask why is this? You're planning marriage and all and on above of that it's a boy, whom I never knew... it's seriously kidding me."
Dad start comforting me "look we don't have a choice.....you know our family business is some what kind of stuck.....but we'll cover it. The main reason is that mafia thing, there family is powerful and they are truly meant to form alliance with us...we don't wanna loose you, we have tried enough hiding you. If you get married to him. We'll be close and we don't have to worry about you all the time." His voice sound desperate.
My eyes starts forming tears, I'm not even try to control it. Derek hug me side by side and try to comfort me, he said to father "dad if he is not ready, we're not gonna push him."
My mom whimpers "it's okay sweety, you're not ready. We understand ... I'm not gonna force my baby."
Dads becomes silent. It's hurting me while seeing him like that....I managed my sobbing and says "dad what's the reason.....you didn't even figure out about my sexuality and you are trying to let me agreed with this?" I sob again "it's not looks like you're worrying about me, it's more like a business deal"
Dad says "son no, I never tried you to get agreed..... you are the one who get to decide it and about your sexuality we know you are attracted towards another men but, we want you to tell this thing by yourself."
I kept down my eyes "dad it's not like I'm agreeing, but I wanna see the guy and talk, then after I'm going to decide it."
Dad worry become a little less as his face becomes normal from frowning "it's okay my son, we will try to do best, I'm never gonna let my son hurt."
I get up from the couch and says "okay then, I'll retire from this night.....all of you good night" I turn back and climb the stairs to head towards my room.
