*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 walked away.

"No one of you should forget that there is a wife in your life, and she is your responsibility." Mom said after they left and walked away.

I walked across the lawn and called Amrin immediately to which she lifted within the second ring and said, "I know that you will call me as soon as they return."

"Why didn't you tell me that they were with you? And why were they? Is there any problem?" I asked her frowning.

"You said you will be busy right, and I didn't force them to come with me. You have to ask them the reason. Anyway, I have some work, so I will talk later." She replied, hanging up while I paced in the lawn.

"Coffee!" I heard a sound and turned to see Nipuna holding a cup.

"Thank you!" I said, frowning and added, "Why were you with Amrin?"

"To tell her that it is better to forget someone who disrespects her and fall for someone who has respect for her." She replied shrugging when I took a sip making me cough.

"What?" I asked her thinking she is just joking.

"Yes! And she seems to understand my words too." She replied folding her arms.

"I never disrespected her." I said, shaking my head.

"Really? That is a surprise to me." She said mockingly and just walked away while I stared at her in shock.

"Where are you, Amrin? It is nearly nine." I said, staring at the clock with a frown.

"I have some extra work to finish today, Dileep. I will try to finish it soon." She replied, and I shook my head when she hung up.

I stepped outside the flat and asked the driver to take me where he drops Amrin everyday. She will not come to house alone at this time of the day.

"Amrin!" I said, knocking on the door to the room where she seemed to be staying to do her work.

"Dileep?" She asked, surprised opening the door and smiled at me.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, stepping outside the room.

"It is really late, Amrin. How will I allow you to return alone at this time?" I asked her back brushing her cheek.

"Amrin! I need some rest so you better finish this work soon." I heard a male voice and turned to see a guy who must be in thirties stepping outside the room.

"He is Mr.Tanmai." Amrin said gesturing at him.

"He is my boyfriend." She introduced me to him, and I stilled a little but shook his hand.

"She is really talented." He said smiling at her, and she smiled back at us.

"Just five minutes and the work will finish." She said walking inside, leaving both of us alone and returned even before five minutes.

"It is finished!" She said, glancing at Tanmai.

"Maybe I should have made her call you here in the morning itself. She would have taken some more time if not for you." He said, shaking his head and locked the door for her.

"I will come here tomorrow morning to check whether I have to redo any work." She said taking the keys from him.

"They all are amazing, Amrin. Do not get nervous." He said, rubbing her shoulder and walked away.

"Shall we leave?" She asked, glancing at me, and I nodded.

We both stayed silent during the drive and even while having our food. However, she raised her head with her hand while lying on the bed and looked at my face with a frown.

"I know you are mad." She started saying making me frown.

"You know?" I asked her lifting my head like her.

"Yeah! You didn't like me introducing you as my boyfriend right?" She asked and I opened my mouth to cut her off, but she continued.

"I just didn't want him to think any less of me. However, if you wish to, then I will tell him that I am your mistress." She said before lowering her gaze from my face.

"Hey! It is not about that, and you need not to change any of your words." I said lifting her chin.

"Ok! It will not be good to take the words again when he doesn't care much about anything else." She said, nodding like she understood my reason for saying it, but actually she didn't.

"Is he married?" I asked her, and she frowned at me.

"No! Can you believe it? He is an amazing guy, but is still not married." She replied grinning.

"Amazing?" I asked her frowning.

"Yeah! He knows how to push someone forward in their lives and gives support, but also let us make our own mistakes. I am lucky to meet him." She replied, and I squeezed her to me by the hand around her waist.

"Just do not talk..." I started saying, but cut me off saying, "You must be tired! I will not talk."

But I was about to say not to talk about some other guy like that. What was I just trying to prove by saying those words? There is no rule for her not to admire any other guy, but I wish she didn't.

"What do you admire me for?" I asked, holding her to me.

"You are a great businessman and a great Prince." She replied smiling at me.

"I am great at them?" I asked her leaving the word only.

"Yeah! That's all you even want to be right?" She asked back before slowly closing her eyes and drifted off into sleep while I lay awake, not even understanding what I am feeling for each word that is coming out of her mouth.

She is saying the words that I always wished anyone to say. I shook my head and slowly drifted off into sleep not able to think about the reason for the feelings.

"The exhibition is today, Dileep. Will you come with me?" She asked while helping me with the tie.

"At what time?" I asked her frowning.

"At six! By afternoon, I will check the arrangement and come here to get ready." She replied stepping back.

"I will let you know." I said, giving her a chaste kiss after which her face fell.

"Understandable!" She said, waving before I could ask or say something with which her smile can return.

"You are coming with me?" She asked in shock when I entered the house at four.

"Yeah! If not I, then who will escort you there?" I asked before walking inside the room to freshen up while she went inside the closet to get ready.

"Amrin! Can you help me with this?" I called for her fidgeting with the tie.

In a way, I forgot how to wear it properly from the time Amrin started taking care of it. It is like I am not in a position to do any single thing in the house without her presence. Why is that?

"Here!" she said, making me turn around only to still in my stance staring at her.

"You are looking beautiful." I whispered, and her hands froze while holding my tie.

"What did you just say?" she asked frowning.

"I said that you were looking amazing." I replied brushing her cheek.

"Wow!" She suddenly said, shaking her head and adjusted the tie.

"What is it?" I asked her frowning.

"This is the first time I am hearing a compliment, and I am just surprised." She replied honestly making me frown more.

"I never complimented you?" I asked her in shock.

"No! It is just not your thing." She replied, shrugging and moved to hold her clutch.

"I always felt that you are beautiful and hot sometimes when you try to give me surprises." I said teasingly making her chuckle.

"Hello?" She asked lifting her phone when we got inside the car.

"Yeah! I will be there in a few minutes." She replied hanging up.

"It is Tanmai Sir. He is reaching near to the hall and is asking about us." She explained, smiling at me while I nodded before staring outside.

"Media is waiting for you, Amrin. I called as many channels as possible." He said the moment we walked near to the stairs.

"Thank you so much, Mr.Tanmai. It is really great of you." She said, holding his hand with a smile.

"Why don't you both go inside? My few students are coming here too. I will receive them." He said, tapping her hand, which is on his.

"Students like the people to whom you gave inspiration out of nowhere?" I asked him before I could stop myself staring at their combined hands.

"We shouldn't make the media wait anymore." He said while Amrin stood in a stiff manner beside me.

"You are right!" She said before walking near to the media along with me.

We gave few poses before walking near to the door and stood to wait for a few guests as no one was still here. Amrin stood in silence beside me, and I calmly whispered "You will do fine. Do not worry."

"Who cares how will I actually do when the people that may come here are only for the gestures, but not with a belief or thought that I may be little good?" She asked no one in particular.

"What do you mean?" I asked her frowning.

"What do you mean by the words you threw at Mr.Tanmai? If you think he unnecessarily took an interest in my work, then at least do not show it clearly outside." She replied moving her hand away from mine.

"I didn't mean it like that, Amrin." I said, placing my hand over her.

"If you think I do not have any talent to get someone inspire me, then you should have not attended this stupid exhibition." She added, ignoring my words and walked downstairs near the media when Tanmai reached there, and they both gave a few poses to answer the questions regarding the exhibition.

They both walked near to me and we three entered with the present guests following us. Like everyone, I felt mesmerized by the art around me. I never saw her work until this moment, and I wish I did way before.

Each painting has a story of its own along with life. I looked around and found her talking to a few guests little nervously.

I stood beside her and placed my arm around her after which she leaned back in my hold before answering their queries. After they left few other people reached her, and I didn't leave her side for a second.

"Thanks for being here and I should apologize for my before words." she slowly whispered.

"No! I should apologize for making you feel that your work was not good, even though it was not my intention. You are amazing with all this and I wish I knew about them way before." I said placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Today is sure my lucky day. You complimented for the second time and even apologized for the first time. What other surprises are there for me?" She asked, glancing up with a smile.

"Maybe you will get lucky tonight." I said flirting with her in a low voice.

"Really? Then I can't wait for it." She mumbled flirting back before she was called for a speech.

"I would like to thank all of you for giving this a chance tonight. I never expected and even thought that one day, I will exhibit my work at all. However, that was possible because of one person who was there when I need him and paved me a way to be able to stand here producing a work. He is none other than my tutor Mr.Tanmai." She finished her speech and everyone clapped with him getting on the stage along with her.

While I stood behind everyone and just stared at her from there trying to grip the feeling.
