*Amrin Pov*

"Wake up! Wake up!" I said, shaking him completely ignoring his words of protest not to wake him up.

"What is it, Amrin?" He asked lazily, sitting up.

"Just look at the newspaper." I replied, showing him the column where the success of the exhibition is written along with my picture and Tanmai's.

"Congrats!" He said, pulling me on his lap and started searching the pages overall with his hands around my waist with which I can't even move away.

"What are you doing?" I asked him frowning.

"Searching for our photo!" He replied, making me smile in surprise, but I took the paper from him and moved the papers to gossip page.

"Here! I am still your flavor of the relation at present, and they are feeling sad." I said mockingly and showed our pictures.

"Why is our photo here and not in the before column? And what rubbish are they writing?" He asked, and I moved my head to see him staring at the written words with disgust.

"All your photos with any girl are printed on this page only. I think except your business news." I explained moving the paper away.

"Really? I didn't know at all." He said in a low tone.

"You didn't know that the photo will be in gossip page?" I asked him frowning.

"No! I was always told that my relationships are on the gossip, but I didn't know they wrote this much stupidly. I never thought of even looking at them." He explained tightening his grip around me while I encircled my hands around his neck.

"I don't mind them now." I said, smiling and snuggled into his hug.

"I need to have a word with all of them." He said in a determined tone, and I didn't comment but just lay in happiness that my work was not a failure.

"How about celebration now as it is over?" He asked pestering the kisses on my throat and neck.

"Need to go to the hall and see about the collections of the money along with payments." I replied lifting my head.

"Tomorrow it will be then." He said sighing.

"What is for celebration?" I asked, brushing my fingers over his cheek.

"This!" He replied, making us both lay and kissed me making me wish I really didn't have any work today.

"Oh my god!" I said covering my mouth glancing at the collections.

"Only half is sold, Amrin. Just imagine how it would be in the future with your increasing your talent and then with many people knowing about it." Tanmai said and I took deep breaths before, sitting down.

"I want to show my gratitude, Sir." I said glancing at him.

"No! You are getting success and that it enough for me." He said shaking his head.

"But Sir, take the payment that would cost for studying in your Dad's college and then little more, which would help the people like me." I said pleading him and he finally accepted.

"I will be leaving today for Goa." He said when we both walked outside the hall paying the money to them as they didn't take the advance with the recommendation from Tanmai.

"Oh!" I said, frowning and he chuckled, saying, "If I don't go now, then my girlfriend will kill me."

"You have a girlfriend?" I asked him, surprised with the news.

"Why? Don't you think I am not good enough to have one?" he asked raising his eyebrow.

"No! I mean I didn't know." I said chuckling.

"Well, we never discussed anything personal at all. And I know about your jealous boyfriend only when he came to our place." He said shrugging.

"Jealous?" I asked him shaking my head.

"Yes! My life got saved within a second, or I would have got killed by him." He replied and I just frowned at him, but in the end shrugged thinking all the people say like that about any relation.

I waved him when he walked inside the station to reach Goa while I took a cab for today to reach the bank before it closes.

After finishing the work at the work which took so much time due to all the process, I chose to go home, but had to go to another place because of a surprise call from a person.

"Hey!" I said, sitting before her after entering the café.

"I didn't think you would come." Nipuna said before ordering coffee for me and a milkshake for herself.

"Why wouldn't I?" I asked her frowning.

"Well, that day we both left from your flat, even though you asked us to stay for breakfast right." She explained.

"I do not know about the work involved in the big mansion to do, but I do know about responsibilities." I said shrugging.

"Heck with the responsibilities." She suddenly said, shaking her head, making my eyes go wide.

"I am sorry! I had my emotions and hormones under control until a few days, but now with the stress, I am unable to." She added groaning.

"What happened?" I asked her frowning.

"That does not matter now. Anyway, I saw today's newspaper and must congratulate you first." She replied smiling.

"Thank you! It is still the beginning." I said smiling back.

"I need a small help from you, Amrin. You can say no if it is too much." She said, but I can see that she wishes I don't say no.

"What is it?" I asked her, and she nodded before explaining her social work for many orphanages and old-age homes.

"At present I need funds for these both. Many prominent society people are involved, but they will not give money by themselves. We are deciding to carry out a charity show with art first and then many ideas later. Can you help us doing an exhibition?" She asked pleading me.

"I would be more than delighted, but I am just a beginner. You guys would get more funds with some professional." I suggested.

"The organizers don't want to go with this idea, but I am pressuring them. At present, we don't have money to pay to the artist or shall I say they do not want to so that I will leave the idea. I will purchase the supplies, and you just need to do it without advance, but I will pay later." She said.

"Let's forget about the money and tell me when is the show." I said smiling at her.

"Next week!" She said awkwardly.

"Next week? It is impossible to finish the work." I said frowning.

"I know! But can you try please for this six-months pregnant woman?" She said pleading more.

"Ok! I will try." I said, nodding slightly.

"I know you would do this. Now, I can sleep peacefully at night." She said sighing in relief.

"And I should be awake at night to finish the work." I commented and we both laughed.

"I know it can be problematic with Dileep. But you don't worry because I will ask him the permission." She said smiling.

"No need to do that. I will tell him by myself." I said, smiling back and we both left to our different places.

"God! The traffic is worse at this time." I mumbled to myself entering the flat only to see Dileep pacing in the living room.

"You are here!" he said in surprise tone.

"Yeah! Should I be somewhere else?" I asked him frowning.

"Are you here to take your clothes?" he asked, placing his hands on my shoulders.

"What?" I asked him, frowning more, but he doesn't seem to be listening to me.

"You are just going to leave. If not for the message, then I wouldn't even know about it." He said shaking his head.

"What message?" I asked him frowning.

"Did you put the money you took back into the account?" he asked staring into my eyes.

"Yeah!" I replied, nodding, still frowning at how he got to know about it.

"Did you closed off the joint account from your side?" He asked and I nodded to which he added, "Why?"

"Now I can earn some money by myself, Dileep. It will not be good if I continue to take your money. So, I opened another account and deposited remaining money from the exhibition into it." I explained in a calm tone.

"So, now you are going to leave me?" he asked, hauling me up to him.

"No! Like I said I will leave when you tell me to. No matter what in what way you actually saved me and now if I am achieving this, then it is because of you in some way." I replied placing my hand over his cheek.

"I do not know whether my hand is there or not, but it is good that you are not leaving." He said hugging me tightly making me feel stun before I hugged him back.

"Is everything ok?" I asked, rubbing his back.

"It will be now!" He replied but didn't leave me from his hold.

I gulped, not knowing what to say or even do as I never felt him showing this much emotion for anything probably except for anger. Did something happen in his house? I thought before placing my hand on his head, brushing his hair still standing in his hold.

"I shouldn't have accused you of leaving without knowing the truth and just relied on the bank message." He slowly said releasing me.

"Bank message? You mean you get them if I do any transaction?" I asked him frowning to which he nodded.

"Now, as you said you actually did a mistake by accusing me." I said moving back.

"Yes! Now what is my punishment?" he asked, pulling me to him again to kiss me, but I placed my palm over his mouth shaking my head.

"Let me explain it." I said and explained about my meeting with Nipuna and even about, the less time I have to finish the work.

"You mean you will get double busy again?" He asked raising his eyebrows while I moved my hand away.

"She is really stressed about it which she shouldn't feel at this stage of pregnancy. Just one week so can you accept?" I asked him pleadingly playing with his tie.

"Fine!" He replied after a few minutes, making me shriek and pull his head down to plant my lips to his while he chuckled.
