*Amrin Pov* “Amrin!” I heard Dileep’s voice from his study room. “What is it?” I asked him rushing there stopping the vegetables cutting in the middle. “My mom called.” He replied, glancing up to look at me. “You can stay there if she wants to. You need not to ask me.” I said, smiling at him. “Do not worry! I will not ask if that is the matter, but will just inform. Anyway, there is a party at my home for the success of my second brother in politics.” He explained, and I didn’t let the smile slip from his first words. “Ok! Shall I remove the suit for you?” I asked him, remembering that these days he was wishing me to select one for any party and even for the office. “No! You have to come with me.” He replied, standing up and walked near to me. “Really?” I asked him smiling because this is the first time he asked me to come to his home for any party. He already went for two there alone, and I thought I would never be taken there, but now he is asking me to making my smile incr

*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

*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

*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* “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
