*Aahil Pov*

What am I even doing? I thought before pressing my head to the steering wheel and then glanced up to stare at the building which is having a business of clothes.

Though I have no business relating to those things, I have a personal business regarding the work going on in the single room on the top floor. This is all Dileep's fault! I thought planning to call him and scold him for asking me to keep an eye on this woman.

I don't know what she is doing there with that guy, and it is not even my duty to know as all Dileep asked me is to make sure she doesn't leave the city.

I step outside the car and started climbing the stairs, hoping they both don't see me or any media. When I reached the room, I heard the guy saying, "Yeah! Just like that."

Ok! Am I going to walk on them while they are going on or what? I thought, shaking my head and then glanced through the window only to take a step back.

Painting? Really? And looks like he is teaching her. Is it some act or they are really doing just painting? I thought and immediately started climbing down the stairs when I heard them talking about some restaurant show and also that the work is enough for tomorrow's show.

"Ouch!" I cursed myself feeling my leg hit the wall directly in the rush, but I limped towards my car before settling inside and drove away.

"What happened to your leg?" Nipuna asked the minute I stepped inside the room looking away from the book, she is reading.

"How do you know there is something wrong?" I asked her frowning as no one got a single clue, and I tried hard not to wince even while climbing the stairs.

"Everyday you enter the room like this is your palace or something, and you are king. However, today you are entering like you are a servant to your palace." She replied, shrugging and moved her attention to her book.

"King? Palace? Do you even know what you are talking?" I asked her shaking my head and walked near to the cupboard for the first aid box.

"It is nothing! I started reading some pregnancy books and saw that after a few months, I have to read some good children's stories for the baby when it is in the womb itself. I was never a fan of them, so I am trying to read them now to get used to them." She explained and sighed at the end.

"You are not a fan of children's stories when you are a kid? So, you are weird from that time itself." I commented and limped to the bed.

"Look who is talking. I was just angry on them as no one reads me a story when I was a kid." She mumbled, and I glanced at her to see her shrugging to herself.

I kept quiet hearing her words and tried my best to clean it, but why is it so difficult to reach it properly. I thought, shaking my head and glanced up to see her already looking at me.

"Want to help?" I asked her gesturing the wound.

"Sure! Come here." She replied, patting the chair before her.

"What? I am wounded here, and you want me to come there?" I asked her completely shocked.

"Yeah! You need my help so, take it or leave it." She replied and placed the book aside.

I grumbled and stood up before limping near to her and sat in the chair she patted before leaning back. She gestured to put the leg up, and I did before giving her the box.

She slowly started cleaning the wound, and I calmly mumbled "Be careful with it."

"Ouch!" I hissed with pain when she pressed the cotton swab more on my wound and glared at her.

"You should think twice before showing me that attitude." She warned making me stare at her with wide eyes while she continued to clean it and even covered it with a bandage.

"That wasn't so tough right?" She asked before pushing away my leg and took her book back.

"What is your problem? Can't you act with respect at least one time?" I asked her feeling the rage for her behavior.

"I give respect to the people who earn it and who learns how to give it back. I am the gold digger when I told you the news and then, I became the villain who wants to take revenge for my father and before a few day's onwards I am trying put someone's responsibility on someone else. At least stick with one assumption, Aahil?" She blasted shaking in her chair.

"Hey!" I whispered and slowly moved near to her standing up from the chair and placed my hands on her shoulder.

"My Dad didn't call me once since I am here." She added before pushing her face in my chest and clutched my shirt.

"Are you not going to cry?" I asked her after a few minutes when I didn't hear her sobs except her shivering.

She stilled and slowly took deep breaths before mumbling "I don't cry easily."

"Good to know." I mumbled back, rubbing her shoulders still stunned with her outburst.

"Why? Do you feel irritated to see a woman cry? You are such a typical male." She said through gritted teeth moving her face away.

"Who said that? I am totally okay with women crying. Why don't you cry and see how much I will enjoy it." I said, staring into her eyes, and she suddenly bursted out laughing.

"I just hope you are joking, otherwise you are in serious trouble." She whispered after laughing for a few minutes.

"I am indeed in trouble." I whispered and pressed my lips to hers.

I do not even know why I did it at all. Maybe seeing the glow on her face when she laughed or how she was staring at me, but I wanted to kiss her, and I didn't care about anything else.

I thought she would push away or even stop me, but to my surprise, she kissed me back, which made me increase the pressure and nearly pull her to her feet. However, we moved away when we both reached out of breath.

"Thanks." She mumbled breaking the silence we created staring at each other.

"For kissing you?" I asked her smirking and she immediately rolled her eyes.

"No! For being there when I had my first emotional break down because of the hormones." She replied and shook her head.

"Why don't you go and visit your Dad?" I asked her walking near to the cupboard for night clothes.

"Why don't you come with me?" She asked back and I immediately laughed hearing her question.

"What?" She asked, frowning.

"I thought I told you, but no one from our family will ever step into your Dad's house. I will not do it more than anyone." I replied in a normal tone.

"Really? So, my Dad doesn't have such a rule, but you guys have just for the rivalry sake. How mature of you guys." She mumbled, shaking her head and walked near to the door, and I immediately held her wrist.

"It is there from the time of many years and let me tell you I follow that with my breath, and nothing can change it." I said in a low tone.

"Ok! It's not like I am going there. My Dad and I don't get along so it is better for me to stay here itself." She said, shrugging and walked outside when I released her wrist.

Impressive! I thought, glancing at the paintings and stepped outside the restaurant before Amrin can see me and walked near to the car.

I sat calmly and thought how wrong I thought about her just knowing a little about the room, she is staying along with that guy. However, here she is making her own livelihood with that guy's help.

Maybe I am really bad at assumptions and always jump into them without giving a second thought. I can still remember Nipuna's outburst, and how much she got affected because of my assumptions.

However, I believed my friend last time without the proof, and it would have cost me peace and reputation of my family if not for last minute questioning of proofs. I do not want that to happen again so maybe my scrutiny is not a wrong thing.

I shook my head and drove away to reach the house before it passes the dinner time. When I entered, I saw Nipuna trying to help Mridula but is failing by making Mridula's work double.

"If you don't know how to work, then why are you increasing Mridula's work?" I asked her walking near to her, and she stilled along with Mridula.

"Aahil!" Mridula mumbled, shaking her head, making me frown at her.

"I will go! I am not even hungry." Nipuna mumbled, walking away and I glanced at Mridula to see her shaking her head.

"What happened?" I asked her frowning.

"She was feeling low that she is not at all good at any domestic work, and she couldn't help me. So, I offered her to help me with which she is feeling little happy, but now she must be feeling worse." She explained, and I frowned more in shock as I didn't think the one statement would do that much damage.

"I will take food for both of us upstairs." I mumbled sighing and took the food.

"Dinner!" I stated entering the room to see her sitting on the bed calm with closed eyes.

"I am not hungry." She mumbled, not even opening her eyes.

"Come on! I brought the food. I mean Aahil Vishwanth brought the food. See, how special it is. Now, you can't leave the food not eating it." I commented before placing the tray on the bed and sat beside her.

"You really have a way with your words." She mumbled smiling and within a few minutes, we both finished the food, and I placed the dishes away before sitting on the bed.

"Mridula said you were low for not being able to do the work." I started the conversation.

"Of course! I mean, look at that girl who is doing everything with so much ease and look at me who doesn't even know how to arrange a table." She said turning towards me sitting straight with an irritated expression.

"She is used to it." I pointed out, and she shook her head not taking the words.

"No! I am just useless. I know that and I don't know what will I do when the baby is born." She mumbled rubbing her stomach.

"You are not even four months pregnant, so there is a lot of time to worry." I mumbled awkwardly.

"Yeah, right! I want to find out if I am good at this or not. What if my baby hates me?" She asked, staring at my face.

"I am sure that will not happen." I replied clearing my throat.

"Are you really sure?" She asked, placing her hand on mine.

Ok! Why am I even in this situation and what is happening to this woman in front of me? I thought she didn't get scared about anything, but now I can see terror in her eyes.

I don't know what to tell her with showing confidence, so I did the next-best thing by kissing her, and she didn't mind within a few minutes. I suddenly stopped when I can see that things are moving very fast, but when she tugged me back I didn't stop at all.
