*Dileep Pov*

"What are you doing here?" I asked Aahil, opening the door while he just pushed me back before entering the flat.

"Why is Amrin helping my wife?" He asked glaring at me.

"She is helping your wife and not your enemy right?" I asked him back rolling my eyes before adjusting my tie which I have been doing for the past half an hour, but I am not getting it properly.

"It is the same here! Ask her to stop the exhibition right now." He demanded pacing before me.

"Are you mad? The function will start in one hour, and you are telling me to stop it. Come to the function, bringing your brain otherwise don't. I don't want any disturbances there." I said, shaking my head.

"What happened to you? Are you so stupid to support your mistress work when your brother is asking you to do something?" He asked fisting his hands.

"If I had a suit similar to the one I am wearing, then a fist would have been attacked to your face this next second." I replied threatening him.

"What did you say?" He asked, taking a step before, and I didn't step back.

However, Amrin rushed between us from the room and pushed us back, placing her hands on either of us. He looked shocked seeing her here and immediately stepped back.

"I don't want you to do the function." He said in a low tone directly to her.

"A girl is called mistress only when she does something which a few people didn't want her to. I need to pay my respects to the title right? So there is no change in the show." She said with a cold tone, and I immediately placed my hands on her shoulders not wanting her to feel sad.

"I didn't mean that." He said, shaking his head.

"Get out of this flat where that mistress is living before you do something with which there will be differences between you both in the rage. If you love your brother, then leave right now." She said, showing him the door, and he left without a word after which she fell back into my hold.

"I am tired, Dileep." She whispered and I immediately made her lie on the couch.

"You will be tired, Amrin. You didn't get good sleep all these days and just worked." I said pecking her forehead and walked away to bring some water.

"You know with every breath I wish that I didn't become your mistress." She started saying sitting up.

"However, when a girl is in a relationship with a man, but without love will be called with that word. Then how about the man who is having relations with all those women? I am not supporting a relation of such when it involves the cheating of vows. I will never support it." She added, shaking her head.

"I know! I should have given respect to all of them, and it is just my fault. My parent's failed marriage fault is not theirs, then how can I show my anger on them." I said closing my eyes.

"You are a great man, Dileep. But don't forget to share your locked good heart to someone's special in your life who will visit you one day." She said lifting my head and pecked my forehead.

"You are right!" I said, opening my eyes and stared at her.

"Why don't you go and get ready?" I asked, standing up and helped her to get up.

"You shouldn't have tried to fight with your brother." She said before walking back inside the room.

"I need all the meetings canceled for tomorrow." I said when the secretary lifted the phone.

"But Sir..." He started to say, but I cut him off saying he needs to do it before hanging up.

"Shall we leave?" I heard her voice after a few minutes and turned to see her walking towards me wearing a Saree.

"You are looking..." I started to say, but she cut me off saying, "I know beautiful."

"You have been using the same line everyday that I will finish it even in my sleep." She said, shaking her head, and I chuckled holding her hand before stepping outside the flat.

*Amrin Pov*

"Amrin! Thank you so much for this help." Nipuna said, rushing near us the moment we stepped inside the hall.

"Don't thank me already! Just wait and see whether the paintings will be liked or not." I said, feeling nervous about the funds and confused for her husband asking me to stop the exhibition.

"They are great! However, I have another request, and I hope you will accept." She said, making me smile.

"What is it?" I asked her while Dileep stayed silent beside me.

"I saw a small baby painting, and I want it. Can I take it and pay money later?" She asked looking at me.

"Think that as my marriage gift." I said, and she hugged me the next moment.

"You are an awesome friend." She said before walking away while guests started filling the hall.

"I know, I know! I just broke another rule, but please don't be mad at me right now." I said without looking at him and walked away.

"Here you are! I have been searching for you." I heard Nipuna and turned to see her walking near to me along with some guy who is not from this country for sure.

"What happened?" I asked her frowning.

"He wants to say something." She replied, gesturing at the man.

"Your work is beautiful, but it needs a little more professional touch." He said looking around.

"I know! I want to do the work more to get it." I said accepting his review.

"You should join at some place to get it more. In your before exhibition, I saw Mr.Tanmai with you. He has a wonderful college in Goa, so why don't you join there and learn between students." He suggested before walking away.

"Are you going there?" she asked, looking at me.

"Dileep will never accept." I replied, shaking my head.

"Maybe he would and all you need to do is ask." She said, shrugging and walked away saying she will take the painting to the home as everyone is staring at it and is wanting to buy it.

"So, what do you think about them?" I asked Dileep walking near to him.

"They are amazing and mainly the baby's paintings are great." He replied, placing his hand around my waist.

"We can leave now. I don't think Nipuna will return." I said, looking at the watch and then around the almost empty hall.

"Ok! Just message her that we are leaving." He said, and I did before we both walk outside and got inside his car.

"I just want to sleep right now." I said, yawning while entering the flat while he followed me to close the door.

"Then let's go and sleep." He said, pushing me towards the room and made me lay on the bed before covering me with the blanket.

"Do you know where your parents are?" he suddenly asked laying beside me.

"No!" I replied, turning around to stare at him.

"Did you want to know?" He asked, placing his hand on my cheek.

"Maybe I did when I was a kid, but I got adjusted to the life of staying at the orphanage and then at the foster home. I have that gift to accept the truth and let go of wishes." I replied staring at him back.

I did the same thing with you too, Dileep. I let go of you accepting the truth in a whole level. I will never be mad again to read something more from a slight gesture, no matter who the person is.

"Good night!" he whispered pecking my forehead, and we both drifted off into sleep.

I was trying to move a little, but when I felt the warmth against me stopping me to move, my eyes opened only to go wide looking at the clock.

"Dileep!" I said, shaking him and he groaned, but opened his eyes.

"It is past ten and you are late for the office." I said staring at him.

"I am not! I decided to stay here the whole day." He said, pulling me back into his hold.

"Are you sure?" I asked him frowning.

"Yes! Now just shut up and sleep." He replied pecking my cheek, and I did as he said.

"Wake up!" I heard his voice and opened my eyes to see him sitting beside me holding a tray.

"We didn't have any breakfast so at least let us have some lunch." He said gesturing at the tray.

"You cooked?" I asked him little surprised.

"No! I called take away." He replied and I nodded, sitting up.

"Go and freshen up." He said which I did by walking inside the washroom, and we both had the lunch before I decided to make a few calls to know how much funds were collected yesterday.

"I will just be back." He said in the evening, and I nodded waving before calling Mr.Tanmai.

"Is it true that I may get more help if I join there?" I asked him.

"It is true! But you said you do not want to leave the city." Tanmai pointed out.

"Yeah! If I come there, then how many weeks will I need?" I asked him even though I know I maybe not go there now.

"Few weeks!" he replied and we both hung up after talking about the yesterday's function.

"Amrin!" I heard Dileep's voice when I am standing in the closet to wear my night clothes and sleep early.

"In here!" I said, shouting from the closet and locked the door before he pushed inside.

"I need to say something to you." He said, and I can hear that he is standing near to the closet.

"I too have to say something to you." I said, deciding to take a chance and see what would happen.

"What is it?" he asked and I explained, standing inside the closet itself about some man who suggested me to go to Goa and then about my call to Tanmai.

"Everyone is saying that it is better if I learn among the other professionals to understand more and also to develop. So, can I go?" I asked him, closing my eyes tightly not even thinking what will I do if he doesn't accept.

"If it helps you to progress, then you should go." Hearing his words a big smile appeared on my face, and I immediately opened the door to thank him but stopped in my tracks looking at him.

"What is it?" I asked him staring at the rose's bouquet in his hands and also a chocolate box.

To top of that he is kneeling before me and just stared at me straight into my eyes. I took a step near to him still confused, but repeated the question.

"I love you!" It seems like he said those words, but it must be something else he said.

"I love you, Amrin." He repeated, and I blinked once and then twice.

"You what?" I asked him finding out my voice.

"I am in love with you, Amrin." He replied patiently while I placed my hand on the wall to support myself before I fall down.
