NIALL'S POV

"But Niall , at least think about it for once....It's the best idea ever to merge our business by starting with such a pure relation....What do you think? Marry my daughter, Hailey and 25% of my profit is all yours ..."

"Mr. Steinfeld , as I said before I am not going to change my decision ...I am not interested in merging my business with anyone....I want it to held just one name 'Horan Enterprise' and just that ..No merging at all.."

"Okay..Then what do you think about marriage?You know how beautiful my daughter is...You'll definitely not regret it a bit....She is-"

"Once a No from me is always a No , Mr. Stenfield...I am not interested in your proposal..Thank you ..You may now leave .."

"Niall, at lea-"

"It's Mr.Horan to you , Mr. Stenfield...."

"Oh..So now you want to be like this .!Great...I'll show you who I am. .! Wait and See , Mr.Horan..."

And with that the thud of hitting the door shut echoed around the voices of my office ...Technically Mr. Stenfield is one of the biggest business man like me but he is involved in illegal stuff ...He had been bugging me since a year and half to merge my business with his and in return I should marry his daughter too ....At first it was just a proposal but soon he started thinking that he had that superiority to act with me like that ...So I thought to hault his imagination there and show him where he stands for me ...And about his daughter, Hailey ..She is one the most desirable model around the world but that doesn't mean there are no exceptions who don't want to think about her in that way...Well..I am proud that I am one of that exception....

Coming from the middle class house , I studied hard and worked all day and night to built up this whole business...I can totally point out who is behind money and who is not...And Stenfields are one of them who can even kill me for their benefit....

*knock knock*

"Yes?"

"Sir, It's me , Zayn!!"

"Zayn..Just come in..You don't have to call me that as I said before..."

Zayn, my one of the best friend since my school days who fortunately is my PA....The boy is a bit more professional than myself with the exact skills of being punctual and disciplined.....

"Yes..I know..But in this office you ar3 my boss and that's the end of the story...Now, I am here to inform you that Mr. Horan is on his way here to meet you with one of his lawyer to talk about some important matters....So he wanted you to meet him in the room number 875 ..And oh yes..Mrs. Horan is also coming with them..They will be here in next 15 minutes...."

And before I can even utter a single word after his ramble he was out of the office leaving me with my own thoughts on guessing what important matter would have lead mum and dad to meet me here with a lawyer ...They are divorcing??? No..How stupid can I be...? They would die but never divorce...True love and stuff ...

I checked my files for the final time while re-arranging the whole schedule....I left my office after asking Zayn to change the timings for next two meetings as I perfectly know that mum and dad will definitely take some time ......

I entered my personal room which was at the end of the hallway .....The room was dim with small LEDs fixed on the edges of the ceiling .....The room was warm enough to make one feel homely and sleepyy.....Hmmm.......where's my couch????? I AM COMING FOR YOU M-

"How are you , son???"

Ugh..Not even for a minute....!!!! Fuck My life!!!

"Heyy Dad...I am doing great...What about you and Mum , I told you already that I am gonna call you when I am going to come home but you just called and called and my phone was vibrating so harshly in the middle of my meeting......"

"Hush now...We are here to discuss some important matter....So let's be seated....Gentlemen - After you..."

My mum and her tactics...

"So what is it? And Mr. Corden you didn't informed me that you were going to visit me..Is it something serious??"

"So what do you think ..? We are fooling around here..?"

"Relax dad ..I was just asking.."

"Well...Let's come to the point and stop cutting grass...The thing is Mr. Stenfield was sending some threatening messages to your mum and me since few months but we thought to not tell you as it was not that much serious at that moment....Now he has stopped that but the other one that bloody Philips man showed to our hotel and created a huge fuss for merging your business with him...He asked me to tell you this and he too also gave me this letter which her sister has wrote to you....with fake blood ...She mentions that she is in so much love with you and want to marry you and if you'll reject her , you'll receive her dead body that instant....And then I considered everything with mum and with James and we all came to one conclusion if you agree to think about that..."

"Oh Dad!! You know me..Right? I trust you all...Just let it out already..."

"The only thing to cease these things you need to get married...And see , Niall you are already 27 and that's the perfect age for marriage....What do you say?"

"Um..Yeah..That's the point but are you sure about this dad? I mean I can handle this situation in a different way to-"

"But Niall ..You are already ready for marriage...You get no time for us or for anything due to your work so at least if you'll settle down it'll be relief for us too and can enjoy your life ...And these assholes will get their answer too for their daughter or sister or mother .."

I chuckled at my mum's words ...She has always been like this- more rebellious....I looked at my father and at my dad's lawyer James Corden .....They both were holding serious yet knowing look while my mum was smiling widely knowing exactly that they have convinced me....Obviously there's never been a thing when I would have denied anything suggested by them....

"So....Is it??"

"Yes"

"Yayyy..I am so much happy for you, Niall..."

"But mum, dad who is the bride?"

I saw they both were making eye contact with each other...Something is definitely hidden from me..But I also know that won't be in mystery for so long as I know my parents ....

"Actually ...Uh..Niall...You trust us right?And you'll never regret our decision ? We thought a lot about this and made our decision and it's like we know you are going to agree with us too but see we want you to marry this specific person only...So trust us on this, yeah?"

"Dad, I know you and trust you both more than me...And if you think I'll be sure about this..Then it's yes from my side ...And don't fear that I'll change my decision..My answer is yes and it's final for sure...."

I saw mum stood up from her seat and hugged me tightly while sobbing with happiness....Whoaa...Who is this person who has got mum all this crying happy tears mess..?Must be someone special...

"You'll not regret it , Niall"

"Yes..mum..Now tell me who is this person you are talking about...Do I know them?"

"SHAWN MENDES"

Shawn?

SHAWN'S POV

"Shawnie...Aunt Maura and Uncle Bobby are here...Come down here...."

I heard my younger brother , Louis' quite voice screaming and calling me which was more like just a whisper....
He is an angel...
I shut my book from where I was writing one song which was continuously ringing in my ears while sleeping....

What made my pace increase to go downstairs was the names of the guest.....My most favourite and dearest Uncle and Aunt who are going to meet me after so many years..Or it was more like I am going to see them first time as I don't actually know their faces but I know them personally remembering their slight talks from past...

"Oh here he is! Shawnie did you remember them?"

I finally came down from the last stair and in the living room with everyone sitting in the sofas along with Payne family too just excluding Liam who was at his work...

I saw that two particular guest which made me wanted to scream in joy that those were the closest to me in my childhood..Their face was still not clear in my mind but the feelings that was towards them were still holding the same purity.....

They both glanced at each other and then Aunt Maura stood up from her place and hugged me where I was standing there in astonishment.....I know she always considered me next to his son but I thought after going in city and not being in contact for so many years she'll change like others use to say that in the village....

"You look so beautiful , Shawn...Just amazing...Karen I had to tell you your both boys are eye-catching ones with pure innocent souls..."

"Uh..Thank you A-aunt Maura..."

"Your voice has totally changed ..."

"Of course it would change Maura ...He is no longer 5 year old now..Is he?"

I heard uncle chuckled at her wife's reaction on hearing my voice followed by a quick 'shut it ' from Aunt.....They both reacted as ease without letting the whole situation to fell in awkward atmosphere....

"Let's sit and talk, love"

"After you"

"Awe..I love him more now..."

Everyone laughed at her statement and we all started talking about the past incidents even before I was born and also about the ones of mine....Louis was witnessing these things for the first time..So he was so much intrigued in everyone's input that he was sitting with his legs folded and sliding his spectacles up every time he would laugh at something.....
He is my life...And Liam too...Both are like my life savers ....

We all headed to take lunch in the kitchen where we usually sit down and take our lunch whenever we are together because the new dining table that Liam bought few months back was small one to fit these many people...

I started taking dishes that mum and Aunt Karen made with the help of Louis and Aunt Maura herself too...We all arranged ourselves on the floor while trying to not feel guilty for making our guests to eat like this..I mean they are from that part of the country which I have never even known about but I know they won't be having to sit down for eating ....

"This feels really good...I miss these small things..It makes it feel like home..."

The words that left Uncle Bobby's mouth made a small smile starts to crept on my face ....The couple was easing the tension in the room just by being their own self and that made me wanted to strangle them to death...I thought after having everything they want in the world , they'll be a bit more uptight and something which will make us feel inferior but the whole scenario is being wonderful ....

We finished our lunch while everyone were talking with each other ..After everything was settled we headed to our living room and sat there with a content sigh ....

The atmosphere was silent but a comforting one...I saw Dad and Uncle Bobby along with Uncle started discussing about something serious which made us feel left out..Louis excused himself and went to finish his pending project while mum and both of my aunts were glancing at each other ....

"Can I talk with Shawn then?"

I heard Aunt Maura asked my mum but she was in between of confusion and surprise as to how to answer it....

"You can ask Shawn yourself, Maura...Shawn..Come here.."

Hearing my name I went there and stood at the foot of the sofa...

"Love..I want to discuss something with you..So if we ca-"

"Of course Aunt...You don't even have to ask.."

And with that we went upstairs on my room which I share with Liam and Louis...We sat on the bed and she just looked at my face calculating what she must be thinking ...
What would she want to talk about ..?

"Uh.Shawn , Do you like like someone? "

"Um..Like ?You mean that like when you want to hug kittens..?"

I asked her not knowing what she meant by that...I mean that was so different for me to understand because why she was asking me something like this...!

"Noooo, Shawn...You know the one you feel for some another person..Don't tell me about Louis, Liam or someone like that..What I am asking is that do you like or love someone to whom you wanted to get married?"

"NO...oops..sorry .I mean no I don't like someone whom I can see my future with..In fact I haven't thought on that..Mum and dad will find the right life partner for me..."

I replied her honestly without any made-up thoughts....She was having an unfamiliar expression on her face which made me question my answer that did I said something wrong...!

"Oh Love..You are so cute...So you don't have anyone in your life and you want to marry someone your parents choose ?"

"Yes Aunt..Now can you please tell me why you are asking me these questions suddenly?Not that I mind it a bit ..But I was just curious.."

"Well...I talked with your mum and dad and they agreed with me on one matter...But we want YOU to decide that because it's about YOUR life..."

"Aunt I trust you and my parents a lot to give you that authority to decide for my life too..So it's not like you don't have right...I give YOU that right..."

I saw her eyes welled up with tears which made so pale that how can I make her cry..!!

"Sorry...I didn't mean to make you c-"

"Hush now...And listen to me ..I was just overwhelmed by your words .But still hear this out love.."

"Yes ...Take your time"

I offered her a smile and a slight squeeze on her shoulder ..She looked at me with that motherly love brightening up her face for me ....I have always considered her next to my mum...Though she was not here with us for these many years but what matters is now she is here with that aura of hers....We all have our own lives and she was having hers too..

"Actually ...I once came with this thought and discussed with B. ..He also liked it and then we contacted with your Uncle and he passed it on to your mum and dad..We all were agreed with this but it is important if you agree on it...."

"If it is that much important then I am agre-"

"No..no.. here me out please, Shawn..We have this desire to have as our son-in-law..."

Son- in-law?

"You have a daughter too?Why didn't you tell me before..?"

"Daughter?? No..What are you talking about?"

"You said son-in-law .."

"Yes ..I did...I want you to marry my son..."

"Son? B-but..but I-I am a boy?"

"Yes , Love ..I can see that.."

She said with a chuckle...

"S-so..How can I marry a boy?"

I asked her curiously while tilting my head on one side and trying to take this whole new concept in my mind ..

"Do you like girls?"

"No..I don't think so if I had liked anyone before.."

"So have you thought about any boy?"

"I actually like Chris Pratt a lot..."

"Shawn..You know the marriage doesn't need to be for only a girl and a boy but two girls and two boys can marry too...There are many people out there who actually love people of their own sexuality ...."

"I once asked that to my teacher when I was small that if boy can marry a boy but he denied and told me that's sin..."

"No , dear...People are just cruel to think like that ....Love is beyond any sexuality..."

And I don't know why but that actually made my heart beat loudly to those words..Just few words but I was already feeling warmth inside of me...

"I know you since your childhood , Shawn..And I know you are the perfect match for my son ...Can you think about this please? Though he use to be always busy and sometimes behaves like bastard too but he is just like me ..My son ..My reflection...I know it's very hard for you to think about this but give it a try and tell me today...Its the small interval of time but we have to return tonight only..."

"Um..uh..What did mum and dad say?"

"They were happy that we consider to marry our son to you...wait here..KARENNNNNN"

After few moments , my mum appeared to the door ..She was looking at my face trying to read what was the outcome I guess ...All I can think about at that time was -my parents were happy about this so this must be for our good....And it's not like I have any dreams for anything like for my life or marriage...

"Yes?"

"Tell Shawn what you think about.."

I saw mum came and sat beside me while taking hold of my hands in hers and slightly patting the back of it....

"Me and your dad think that it's good to have you married in a familiar family....See , love..We are not that much intelligent to not get in any trap of this cruel world in order to find someone for you....And we think that you will love being with him too.He is a lovely boy and now he has grown mature and capable enough ..We had known him for so long...like his whole life though since last years we were not able to meet him..So what do you think?.."

"Uh..Do you need some private time with your mothe-"

"Aunt...I trust you and you are just like my mum too...Uh...I don't think there is anything wrong with this marriage...If he agrees ...you know h-so..um..at least tell me what's the name of him whom I am going to get married..."

I know they have one son but I don't think he will agree to marry ME ...Maybe they have some other boy who they consider their son or maybe they have another son...Maybe the one I am going to get married is someone unfamiliar to me ...

"Niall Horan."

Nini?

Those were the words that screamed somewhere in the back of my mind....

"We had already asked him and he is agreed with this...But we wanted you to choose for this..So ..what do you think? "

"Um..Does he know that I am a boy who lives in a village?I-I don't want him to ma-arry me without knowing about this .."

"Of course ,love...We understand that..He trusts us enough to marry anyone..."

"So is he pressurized to marry me?"

"Noooooo...Shawn, we talked with him for marriage and he said yes ....He'll make you happy..Trust me on this..And if he'll not then I'll kick his ass....But tell me what do you think?"

I registered everything for sometime...I felt that feeling of not able to fix in their lifestyle and then when Niall will feel humiliated he'll leave me..What if he'll not love me the way Dad loves mum...? Will he leave me? Will he insult me?? Will he mock at my stupidity of not knowing how to use technology..?

But somewhere in my heart all the answers I got were supporting my parent's decision...He is a good man from this lovely family.....And looking at the faces my mum and Aunt was all it take to finalize my answer....

"Yes..I'll marry Niall..."

FINALLYYY YESSS..!!!!

First of all to clear this out- Liam and Mendes family are living together but in a village....So they will not be very much familair with the modern technology .....
