Have you read the previous chapter"Why do I have to kiss him?"

Naveen's POV

I throw my pen angrily. This is the fifth couple who got married again after getting divorced.

Why do I have to waste my time, if they will get married again?

The common thing about all marriages were, girl was getting physically abused. I dont understand, how can you go back to a person who is abusing you?

'Don't get angry. It's hard for women to hear the taunts of society after getting divorced,' Raghav, my colleague said.

'They why do they come to get divorce?' I asked angrily.

'Because they are tired of the abuses.'

'Then, why do they go back to their husband?' I asked as I pulled my hair in frustration.

'Because of society and family pressure. Society doesn't let woman stay alone so they compromise and accept the abuse as their fate,' he said and before I could say something, someone called him and he left.

'Naveen?' my boss came and stood in front of me.

'Yes, sir?' I said and got up from the chair.

'Why don't you try being a criminal lawyer?' he asked.

'Really, sir?'

'Yes. I can see the potential in you. I don't know why you chose to become a family lawyer.'

Because, when I was young, I saw many abuses around me so I thought of helping them.

But, how can I help them if they don't want my help?

'I am seeing that you are wasting your potential here. I dont know about the future but right now, in the 90's, women are not strong enough to fight with the society after getting divorce so they go back to their husbands. If the guy wants a divorce, it will work, but it will not work the other way around,' he explained and I realized he is right. I am experiencing it right now.

'It's not like you are practising under family law for years so you can't change it. I will help you as I can see the potential in you,' he said, again.

'I am working on a case right now. After lunch, you can come in my cabin and go through the case and then you can come with me to the court to observe,' he continued.

'You can work with me on the cases, until you are confident enough to have your first criminal case,' he continued further.

'Really, sir?' I asked excitedly.

'Yes. And, maybe you will not get much cases under family law, but you will get many cases under criminal law and it will help a lot to grow in your career,' he said.

If my career grows, then I will get more money and slowly, I can give princess all the happiness she deserves.

'Okay, sir. I will come to you after lunch.'

This is my first step towards making princess happy. I want to give her all the happiness of the world.

'Yes, mom?' I said as I kept my bag on the bed.

'I called my daughter in law today,' she said and my ears perked up but I controlled my excitement otherwise they will tease me.

Then, she told me everything.

She is wearing yellow saree just because I like yellow colour?

'You asked her, what is her favourite colour?' I asked.

'I knew you would ask me that so I asked her and she told me that red is her favourite colour which you hate,' she said.

'It's not that I hate it, I just dont like it,' I said.

'But, you want me to buy red kurta for the engagement, right?' she asked.

'How do you know?' I asked, surprisingly.

'Because you are my son. And, I know that you will wear red kurta to make her happy as she will be wearing yellow to make you happy,' she said making me smile.

'You have money or should I go to the post office tomorrow to send you money?' I asked.

'We have money, beta. Don't worry,' she said.

'Mom, I have to tell you something,' I said.

'What?' she asked and I told her the conversation between me and my boss.

'So instead of family lawyer, you will be criminal lawyer now?' she asked.

'Yds.'

'Do what makes you happy, beta. I pray that you will get many cases but don't fight for the wrong side,' she said.

'Yes, mom. I know. I will talk to my boss about it. I will not take any cases of the wrong side. It will be injustice to the other person who is right,' I said.

'Yes. I am glad that you understand. I will tell  this good news to your dad also. Bye! Have dinner and dream of my daughter in law in your sleep,' she said making me laugh.

*****

Today, I spent whole day in the cabin of my boss, reading the case which he was working on and then even after the office hours had finished,  he made me stay and asked me about the case and made me understood few things.

This was hard, but still I was willing to try it as I loved my job, but only on the condition that I will never fight from the wrong side which he agreed to. By the time I left the office it was 9 p.m. So by the time I came back home, it was almost 10.30 and all the hotels were closed.

So, I freshened up and had packet of biscuit for dinner.

'Today, I thought that you will not call us,' mom said as soon as she picked up the call.

'I just now came back from office,' I said.

'It's almost 10.30 p.m. Your office finishes at 7 p.m., right?' I asked.

'Mom, I am working with my boss on his case. Yesterday, I told you about it, right?  So, this will be my first case as criminal lawyer and that's why I was studying the case and making points and everything,' I told her.

From the first day, I have discussed my works with my parents. That makes them happy. I don't reveal the cases as it is confidential but sometimes, I give them summary of the case.

'So what is this case about? I am really excited about your first case as a criminal lawyer,' she said excitedly.

'It is a murder case,' I told her

'What?' she gasped.

'Your first case is a murder case?' she asked.

'Mom, I will not be handling it. My boss will handle it. I will just tag along with him,' I explained.

'But still...'

'Mom, I want to work very hard for next few years and open my own chamber. That will give me the chance to be famous, and then I can earn more money and give all the happiness Nivedita deserves,' I told her.

'You are doing all this for her?' mom asked.

'No, mom. You know how much I love law. If I become a criminal lawyer, my career will grow so I am doing this for myself,' I explained.

'Nivedita will become an important part of my life, so I add her in my plans too,' I continued.

'That's good. Anyways, what will you eat now?' she asked.

'I had a packet of biscuit,' I replied.

'You had packet of biscuit for dinner?' she asked.

'Mom, I will not die if I will not have a proper dinner for a day,' I said.

'I know, beta. But, please,  don't skip dinner like this,' she said.

'Mom, I will buy dinner along with lunch,' I said.

'That's good. My poor baby! He didn't even have dinner as all the hotels were closed,' she cried.

'I was so happy to work on my first criminal case that I had not even thought about dinner,' I said excitedly.

'Promise me you will have proper meals.'

'I promise, mom. By the way, when you will be coming tomorrow?' I asked.

'We will sit in the bus at 7 a.m. and by evening we will reach. Today we have done shopping and bought her a yellow saree and red kurta and pajama set for you. You love red colour so much, right?' she teased.

'Mom, stop teasing me.'

'Okay, beta. Dream of my daughter in law in your sleep,' she said and was still laughing while cutting the call.

Thank god, I don't have to ask for leave as engagement is on Sunday.

I will be engaged day after tomorrow.Today, during lunchtime,  I had invited my close friend, Shailesh and my colleagues.

Shailesh will come with me and two to three colleagues also will come with me but rest of them cannot come due to their personal matters.

I even invited my boss before leaving the office but he said that he has planned to take his wife out, as it has been months he has not taken her out.

I don't know how will I manage everything after marriage?

I don't know if I will be able to make her happy?

What if I am not able to give her the happiness she deserves and she leaves me to be with some other man?

No!

I can't even imagine her with some other man.

She can't be with someone else.

I will give her everything, so that she will not go to another man.

Shit! Am I really this possessive? Until now, I myself didn't know that I can be so possessive.

She is not like that, but in some cases I saw women cheating on their husbands and when husbands come to know, they decide to leave the wives and that time the women begs for husband's forgiveness as her reputation will get ruined if she gets divorce. Some people forgives and some can't.

I can't forgive.

I can't even imagine her looking shyly at someone else, smiling at someone else or giving muffler to someone else.

Which makes me wonder, how many men she met before me?

Her dad said many families rejected her as she is just tenth pass and I knew education is important, but I thought personality and looks are more important.

I don't understand how can men look at her and reject her?

I liked her from the moment, I saw her natural beauty.

I can't believe she got rejected only because she is tenth pass. It's not like she is uneducated. She loves to read and even write poetries and knows other activities also along with cooking.

And, she is so beautiful and has such a warm personality so I can't believe it but why will her dad lie about something like that?

Anyways, I hope, for now,  I can make princess happy in my small house until I build a castle for her.

*****

So, the reason he started working hard was entirely not her, but she was also a part of it, right?

He is possessive, just like Aaryan, right?😍😍

Maybe, Naveen is more possessive. Who knows😜😜

And, her lawyer brain has started working?

What will happen when he will know the truth?
