*Amrin Pov* “What?” Dileep suddenly shouted at the person he is talking to and managed to choke on his food too. I immediately stood up and started patting his back while offering some water for him. However, he pushed the glass away before standing up and walked inside his study room. I waited for him to return which he did after a few minutes and started to pace along the hall with a tight expression. “What happened?” I asked him softly, hoping this is not that much of a serious issue. “What happened is that my brother is getting married.” He replied with gritted teeth, and I stared at him little confused along with shock. “And that too tomorrow night.” He added and this time I actually gasped. “Is he eloping?” I asked him in a whisper. “No! My parents are forcing him, and he has no other choice.” He explained and flopped on the couch. “Why are they forcing him?” I asked, standing behind him and started pressing his head, hoping his blood pressure will not rise with all the
*Dileep Pov* “Amrin!” I called her name entering the flat the next day, evening or nearly night as I tried to stay in the office and not be here to hear her again say that she wants to marry me. I shook my head and entered the room to see that she is not even here. I frowned and walked inside the closet to see her clothes still these, but not her old clothes. What the hell! I thought, stepping away, but saw a paper on the bed with the earrings I gave her one day to wear on the paper. I picked it up and saw that she wrote the letter. Where did she run away? I thought before opening it. I know that I am a coward to walk away without saying it directly to you. However, I guess I did the right thing. You were clear that I shouldn’t break any of your rules, and if I did, then the relation is over. I remember each rule of yours, but I didn’t put them in front of my eyes all the time because of which I broke a rule. I shouldn’t talk about marriage between us, and I did it yesterday so
*Amrin Pov* “We are not going to get you slaughtered, Amrin.” His statement reached my ears, but I do not want to react to his hand over mine or even to his words. “How did you know that I am living with my friend?” I asked him the question which is revolving in my head but didn’t glance at him. “It was more than easy as it seems you didn’t try to be hiding from me.” He replied, and I can hear a little accusation in his voice. “Why would I hide from you? I just made your work easier by going away myself, and I thought you would be relieved.” I said shaking my head. “However, the only mistake I did was to choose a cowardly way by writing a letter and now the direct words because of which I am now on the way back to your place.” I added frowning to myself and saw that we are about to reach his place. “Atleast you stopped crying.” He mumbled, making me wish I got some more tears, which stopped the moment, we entered the city. The tears were more for making the people who were nice
*Dileep Pov* “Mom! Is something wrong?” I asked, breaking the silence at the dinner table. I can understand the awkwardness with Tajwar Bhai eating with us everyday and then Aahil’s permanent scowl along with Nipuna’s blank expression and then Mridula’s taking care of Tajwar Bhai’s food. However, none of it must have stopped Mom from saying anything but there is something else. “Yes! We have a big problem.” She replied with her anger pointed towards me. “What have I done now?” I asked her frowning. “Do you make fun of me before your mistress every time?" She asked back, and everyone stopped whatever they are doing to hear the banter. “Of course not!” I replied, not understanding her question. “One week back when I called your flat, she was sarcastic and yesterday when I called to see whether you are coming or not she laughed at my words.” She said shaking her head. “She laughed at your question to ask about my arrival?” I asked her, and she shook her head in negative. “Then w
*Amrin Pov* “Don’t be so stiff while doing it. You will not achieve anything if you behave like you are murdering someone and not doing a stroke of paint.” I groaned hearing the scolding from the person on whom I trusted blindly. “I am trying, right?” I asked him frowning. “It doesn’t seem to be. I know you can do better than this, Ms.Amrin. You need to lose the stiffness in your hand.” He replied, and I stepped away from the canvas to stare at him. “Mr.Tanmai! I told you that I am not that good at this, but you just took in the small painting I did to help an old man and decided that I will be great in this.” I said, and he rolled his eyes before removing the paper sheet to place a new one. “You will be, but you need to learn properly.” He said shrugging. “I trusted you and even paid you the amount taking some loan from a friend.” I said, remembering how much I contemplated before taking the amount from my account thinking to put it back when I could earn my own like this man i
*Dileep Pov* “You should go and stay in your home.” Her words made me look up from my work with the feeling of shock. “Why?” I asked her frowning and placed the system aside when she sat beside me on the bed. “It’s been two weeks since you returned but didn’t go there for a stay. They must be missing you.” She replied, holding my hand. “So, I should stay there for this weekend?” I questioned, and she nodded smiling. “Did my Mom called again?” I asked, staring at her face. “I don’t know! I am little busy so kind of staying most of the time at the work when you are not here.” She replied lying down. I can see that as I have entered the house numerous times at lunchtime and even evenings before the office timings but the flat stayed empty. However, she is not leaving the work in this house and even cooking without a miss. “Ok! I will leave now itself.” I said getting up. “Now?” She asked little surprised and held my hand. “Are you angry?” She added when I turned around to stare
*Dileep Pov* “Just give me a call when you reach the house.” I said before hanging up after she said she will be a little late to reach here. “You are here and I am searching for you everywhere.” I heard Aahil Bhai’s voice and turned to see him rushing near to me. “What happened?” I asked him frowning. “Tajwar Bhai’s college friends are here.” He replied and I immediately panicked. “Who invited them?” I asked him, frowning and looked around to see Mridula welcoming them. “Why does she try to make everything good?” Aahil grumbled and this time I accept with him. “Let us stop them before they could meet Bhai.” I suggested and before we could reach near them, they already saw Bhai and are even talking to him. “He seems to be fine about this.” Aahil said in a surprised tone. “He seems to be happy about this too.” I added, and we both sighed in relief to see everything is fine. “Aahil! We need to talk.” We heard Nipuna saying while reaching near to us. “I have some special peopl
*Dileep Pov* “What do you mean you don’t know where your wives are?” I heard Mom’s voice while climbing down the stairs rubbing my neck. “They must have gone out.” Dad offered by the time I stood beside them. “The two women of this house are not here, and no one knows where are they. One son is in hangover while the other was just sleepy. Do you think you all are still kids?” She shouted at three of us. When everyone stilled in their stance hearing her raised voice, which doesn’t happen and that too for Tajwar Bhai at present, we heard the front door opening and turned to see Nipuna and Mridula entering the house. “Where were you both?” Dad asked them when Mom didn’t even open her mouth for a second. Nipuna turned towards Mom with a frown and then at us before saying, “We were with Amrin in Dileep’s flat.” “What?” I mumbled along with Aahil and Dad while Tajwar Bhai just frowned. “Yes!” Nipuna replied while Mridula stayed silent. “We will just go.” She added, and they both wa
