*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 tension and anger he is showing on his face.

"That girl got what she wanted. It seems like her parents attacked my family and without this marriage, there will be a huge scandal for the whole family and the end of Aahil Bhai." He explained and leaned back when I continued to press his forehead.

"But how can they let the marriage happen if the girl is trapping him?" I asked him.

"I have no idea! He called me to rant about it and hung up." He replied.

"Why don't you go and talk to him?" I suggested, and he nodded getting up.

"So, she actually doesn't need any money from your family?" I stated it more than asking after hearing what actually happened.

"Yes! Her family is top in politics, but are my family rivals. If this marriage is not performed, then they will not leave my family alone." He explained more.

"And the paternity test will endanger the baby's life so for now they will get married and will have the test after the baby is born. After which they will get divorced and will not even lose anything from the family with the mistake on their side and not us." He added, and I stopped in the midway from holding his hand hearing his words.

"Isn't that a little or even more cruel?" I asked him frowning.

"For whom?" He asked, frowning back.

"For everyone! What is the fault of the baby? Maybe they will get comfortable or even settle for each other." I replied staring at his face.

"You do not know anything about our lives so do not comment." He said in a hard tone.

"I may not know about your lives, but I know about the right things." I said in a calm tone.

"And maybe she is right about saying the baby is your brother's." I added, hoping he would not think so wrong about the baby who doesn't have anything to with the situation.

"Shut up, Amrin! Just do not speak another word like this again. I know you can never understand what happens in the high society, and I am not expecting you to be a part of it. So, just keep quiet." He shouted, getting up from the bed.

I sat stunned after hearing his words while he walked near to the cupboard and started taking out few suits before getting them in a bag.

"Dileep..." I started placing my hand over his shoulder, and he just shook it off.

"I will have to stay there to take care of the preparations. And by the time I return after all the functions are finished, so just try to keep your opinions to yourself." He said and started walking away holding the bag.

"Will... will I not attend them?" I got the words out but immediately wished I didn't.

"No!" he replied and walked away completely.

Hearing the loud noise with the door closing, I fell on the bed before releasing the tears but not for the words he uttered.

Why am I so weak? After hearing his words how could I ask him about whether I will be attending along with him or not? I shouldn't have fallen for him at all! I thought closing my eyes.

"Hello!" I said, lifting the phone with half-closed eyes.

"Amrin!" I heard Dileep's voice making my eyes open fully.

I stopped my racing heart remembering his words before leaving and said, "Yes?"

"The wedding is over. There will be a reception in the evening so be ready by seven. The driver will be there to pick you up." He replied making me frown.

"But you said..." I started saying, but stopped knowing better not to question his words.

"Is the time enough for you to get ready?" He asked, totally ignoring my half said the words.

"Yes!" I replied, and he hung up making me sigh.

In any relation, there will be fights right? So maybe this is not some bad thing! I thought, trying to press down all his words and the way I was feeling remembering them.

I took a deep breath and decided to get ready to be able to match for his high society or that is what their lives are called. Glancing at the mirror, I talked to myself not to get affected by any type of behavior I may get to endure.

I can't do this! I reckoned, glancing at the cameras with his absence beside me. How can I bear them without him? I asked myself before taking a step back and decided to walk away.

"It is a good thing that you are here on time." I heard all too familiar voice in the darkness behind me making the most of my nerves leave me.

"Dileep!" I mumbled, turning around and threw myself in his arm's feeling relieved.

"Where were you going?" he asked, lifting my chin.

"I cannot pass them without you, so I thought to go away." I replied staring at his face.

"I remember!" That's all he said, but I felt like he is here not to let me go through it alone.

"Let's go!" he whispered, giving a chaste kiss making sure to not smudge my lipstick and walked near to the cameras coming out of the darkness of the lawn holding my waist.

We both walked inside and I immediately saw his Mom and Dad near to the entrance talking to the guests. Then I glanced at Mridula, who is trying to make sure everything is okay with the refreshments serving.

After her, I glanced at the stage in the function hall to see Aahil and his new wife whose name is Nipuna as per the board congratulating for their marriage. We both walked near to them after his parents had a word with Dileep and as usual ignoring me.

"What should I say to them?" I asked Dileep in a whisper when we reached near to them.

"Congratulate or just smile." He replied and I preferred to both, to which I got a nod from the bride and nothing from the groom.

When we started walking away, I heard Nipuna asking him "Why didn't you say anything to your brother's girlfriend? Don't you have even that much common sense?"

"She is just his mistress, and you do not talk to me." Aahil replied, and I stilled with Dileep's hand on my back.

"What happened?" He asked frowning.

"Didn't you heard?" I asked him back.

"It is nothing!" he replied and started walking while I followed him.

"Many people are asking why did we arrange everything in a hurry." His Mom commented when he walked near to her.

"It would be surprising if they didn't ask." Dileep commented, and I stood calmly.

"We hurried for both your brothers, but for you, I will make it grand with an engagement and then the wedding. Both will be done with a big celebration." She said, and I stole a glance at both realizing that they forgot I am even there.

"You can do as per your wish, Mom. I will not stop you in that." Dileep said, shaking his head and added, "However, there is no bride at present so do not talk about my marriage now."

"There will be one within less time when I start to search one for you. I know many girls in our circles who will be perfect for you." She said confidently, and I wanted to shout at both saying I am still here.

But I waited to see Dileep's reaction to her words, hoping he at least remembers me not to think about marriage right now.

"Ok! Like I always said I am not going to search my bride, but you will, as you know, who will be good for the family. And I really do not want any gossip behind my back regarding the bride." He said making me gasp, and they both turned to see me.

"Do you need water?" Dileep asked with no sign that shows whatever he talked is not in serious thinking.

"No!" I replied, keeping the throat tightening away not wanting to create any scene in already disturbed function.

I stood near to him wherever he went, but questions twirled around my head even when I was trying to keep them away. I should ask him all of them no matter what.

After many guests left, even we both left the function hall after he informed his parents that he will not stay at their home. I sat in silence, knowing fully than to create any drama with driver's presence.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked him the moment, we both entered the room.

"What is it?" he asked back before taking the clothing he wears while sleeping.

"Will you really marry the girl your Mom chooses?" I asked him hiding myself inside the closet while changing the Saree.

"Yes! I always thought she would be the best to choose my bride." He replied, and I stepped out after a few minutes trying to cool my mind before saying something, which may turn the things worse.

"And the bride will be from high societies like near to your status." I stated and hoped he would change it.

"Of course! You know my Mom and she will go to those options only." He said smiling like he told some joke.

"Dileep! What... I mean what about us?" I asked him stuttering not knowing how to even form the words.

"You want to marry me or what? But someone said they want to marry a normal person and not a prince right?" He asked jokingly, but the tears that burned in my eyes started to roll down making him realize that I am not joking.

"You want to marry me?" he asked like he can't believe I even thought that.

"Yes! I mean I do not know, but I definitely know that I do not like the idea of you marrying anyone else." I replied, brushing away my tears remembering his words that he hates the tears.

"You know from the beginning that there is no way marriage involved in this relationship. And it will be better if you remove the thought about our future." He said before lying on the bed with his back to me, and I wished it was that easy to stop the feelings.
