Third-Party Pov
Mia...
Riley stood there staring at Ray, while Ray had his heads down not daring to look at both the people who stood in front of him...
"Ray, what did you promise me, this morning, and now you're running away"
"No, Riley... its...its..."
"Then What.... where on earth your running... Now"
"Megan I said, it will not work, and it will not be good for her, why do you both don't understand..."
Ray said as he rubbed his forehead,
"Why do you think like that, what's good for her should be decided by her, not you, Ray"
Megan literally slapped Ray and yelled at him, While Riley came held Megan's hand to calm her down, Ray didn't move As there both were speaking to Ray... Daniel walked from behind them with Mia, and saw that Megan losing her temper, and slapping and yelling at Ray... Mia was taken back at what she saw, her heart ached for him... Daniel was surprised when he saw her so aggressive... she was so shorter than Ray, but she was slapping a grown-up man, without a blink of an eye... and his brother was claiming Megan, not bothered about his brother, both Mia and Daniel were puzzled by the bond that they're shared...
Daniel walked slowly, with Mia... Ray was the first one to glimpse at them, but he didn't intend to show a hint of panic in his face... he just nodded to Daniel, and pulled Riley, and tried to walk away, but Megan didn't let him, and she said with very stren tone...
"Ray Wills... stop right there, or you will know what I will do..."
Riley let go of Ray and stepped back, Ray stood there alone... stealing few looks at Mia, Megan turned to Daniel, Her face was like a stone... so grave, with no expressions on it... the only thing she had in her eyes was the worry she had for Ray... Daniel was stunned by her appearance, He let go of Mia's hand and walked to Megan... Daniel smiled at Megan... and gently put her hugging hair behind her ears, and said...
"What happened, why are you so irritated, calm down... is there anything that can help you"
he finished, he tugged her wrist and held her in his embrace, and turned to Ray.
"What's going on with you both... why is she so angry with you, Ray, is everything ok with you..."
before Ray could even answer... Riley said, Daniel Bro, Megan and Ray were just speaking, its nothing"
he smiled awkwardly... Megan had no smile on her face, still had the same gloomy face, looked at Riley... Daniel then asked,
"She was literally slapping him, and it's nothing... "
"It's nothing anymore let's go... "
Megan said as she turned to walk away, but Ray was fast...He came and held her hand, and said to Daniel..
"Daniel bro, please... give me few minutes, with Megan, I need to talk to her...Please"
He pleaded...Megan nodded to Daniel, requesting to go, Daniel, smiled let go of Megan and walked away with Mia, as Mia turned few times to look at what was going on, she was worried about Ray...Megan looked back at Ray and asked,
"Tell me, what you wanted to talk, talk fast"
"Ok... I will try to give me a chance, please you both don't be annoyed with me, please... Megan, you know how much you mean to me"
"I know that, that's why we are fighting for you, with you... you idiot, why do you want to punish yourself for someone's mistake, you more worth than that...
Ray, we all love you so much, but you're worried about people who left you years ago... Come on Ray"
as Megan finished, Riley got a call from Olivia...
"Riley, why is Ray or Megan not picking the call, I am not feeling ok, is everything alright, where are you all"
"We are at Jack's wedding, Ray and Megan are talking, wait I will put you on speaker"
"Hai Megan, Ray... what's going on, why are you both not answering the call"
As soon Olivia asked, Ray, said,
"It's nothing, Olii, we were a little busy"
Immediately Megan grabbed the mobile from Ray and said,
"it's nothing, it's everything... This idiot finally fell in love with a girl, and he wants to run away from it like always...."
Olivia was surprised at first, but then she said...
"Give the mobile to him..."
Megan passed the mobile to him and stood with her hands crossed on her chest, Ray took the mobile from her and said...
"Hai Olii, It's nothing ok... they both are just exaggerating, I just felt something towards that girl... but they both are forcing me, at least you help me"
"Help you... My ass, first-time in life you are attracted to a girl, and now you want to run away from that... after this wedding we will talk about that, and you're going to behave ok... and that's final"
Ray, helplessly nodded his head, while saying
"Ok... I promise, I will try... but I don't even know whether she likes me..."
Olivia was pissed off with Ray's blubbering, she said...
"who is this SHE...now... please can anyone say me"
Riley finally said...
"It's Mia, Megan's sister-in-law, and Daniel's sister...that's what really worries me, if this idiot say something inappropriate, It will even harm Megan"
Megan waved her hand and said,
"It has nothing to do with me if he likes her, and she likes him... I will go to any extent to make this relationship happen"
"Ok, then it's final, take care of that idiot... I will meet you all after that wedding with you guys... bye"
"Why don't you come tomorrow to the wedding..."
Megan asked, but Olivia said
"I don't even know them... its ok, I will meet you guys later"
All agreed and hanged the phone... as all the three walked to the lobby to see, Daniel alone waiting for Megan... as he saw them coming back, he walked to Megan and asked...
"Done talking... can we go"
Megan nodded, and turned to the two men waved and walked away with Daniel. As they entered the elevator, Daniel was very quiet... he didn't do anything or ask her anything... he was thinking the way Megan behaved with Ray, a little while ago... He was so worried about Megan's temper.... she was so wild few minutes ago. But always behaves so much in his house...though she's irritated.
Daniel walked into the room... Megan came slowly, removed her sandals and hugged Daniel from behind... and asked
"Upset with me... Ray really needs us now So... but what's that smell on you, its not your perfume"
Daniel rubbed his forehead and said
"I forgot to take it while leaving to Jack room, it his perfume"
"This perfume of yours was customised by me, for you in Maldvies, its unique, and it gives out that fragrance, only on your body... that only belongs to me... ok, never change your perfume"
"What if its over, will travel to Maldives to take me that perfume... Meg"
Megan shook her head and said,
"its been booked in your name for lifetime.. I only need to pay once in a year..."
"Omg... really, ok..., I understand... but what the problem with that crazy guy... I never thought, he as so much problem, if you don't want to tell... it's ok"
Megan walked to the couch, sat there, looking at Daniel, thought about it for some time and said...
"Ray and Riley are not twins...."
Daniel looked at Megan puzzled...and asked
"Then... how are they related"
"Ray and Riley are cousins"
"Then, how does it show they are siblings in the records... is it all fake"
"Partially... Ray's Dad is Riley's dad are brothers... and their mothers are sisters, Riley parents were in love and got married, but due to keep the businesses relationships even well... Ray's parents married with family forcing... After the wedding, they managed to live better but after few years... Ray's dad had an affair, which completely broke Ray's mother, and she was so depressed, she divorced her husband"
Daniel looked at Megan and asked
"Then what happened...how did they become siblings"
"That's the story, that we four keep within ourselves..."
"Don't want to tell me..."
Daniel asked, Megan, waved her hand and said...
"No... I am saying you everything, I trust you... that you will keep my secret, Ray's Dad was disowned by his Grand Dad, and all his shares were transferred to Ray's name, and he settled some money to Ray's mother... and she left"
"Didn't she ask for Ray... she... being a mother, must have felt bad to leave Ray and go"
Megan shook her head and said
"That's the catch... both his parents, didn't even bother about him... both went their ways, Ray's dad married his mistress, while Ray's mom, married to her childhood crush, and left to somewhere to New York, and both Ray's parents never came back, and he lost complete trust in relationships... he never cared about his dad much, but He missed his mother so much, we were in grade 5 when all this happened... and Grand Dad Wills.... changed all the documents, he even changed Ray's, Riley's birth certificates, and made it a new birth certificate, that they both are twins... and from then we all care for him, we all tried so much to get him to realise he was loved, but he doesn't... he keeps himself from happiness as much as possible"
"Now... what, what's going on, why were you so, angry at him"
"Because, he finally liked a girl... but he's scared to let her in, and wants to run away like aways he does.... So..."
"So, you were trying to beat him, a fully grown-up man"
"Yaa... he was wrong, he needs to be happy... but he's running away... so I need to make him realise that, so I beat him"
"This's how you deal with him... or with all your friends"
"It's with all my friends... I have only the three "
"You are rowdy ... I thought you're a very gentle, soft-hearted little minion"
Megan laughed and asked,
"Then what now... you hate me"
she pouted... Daniel walked to Megan and held her in his embrace and said
"That will never happen... only death will apart us... ok, Now tell me who stole your stupid friend's heart... which no one can... who's this Almighty girl"
