*Nipuna Pov* “Hey!” I heard Amrin saying and glanced up to see her walking near to me with a big grin. “Hey yourself! What am I hearing? You are engaged to Dileep?” I asked her the moment she sat before me. “Yeah! I am still flying remembering his proposal from the past one week.” She replied, blushing a little but her face is glowing. “I am the one who is pregnant, but look who is glowing here.” I said in a teasing tone. “It’s not like that. I am just happy that he actually loves me back, which I didn’t think will happen and on top of that, his mother accepted me.” she said, and I smiled understanding her shock. “Tell me about it. I returned home yesterday night, but she already showed me so many concerns which she never did all these months.” I said shaking my head. “I heard this week that you went home and even Aahil followed you there.” She said staring at me. “It feels like a romantic thing when you use the words like that, but it was not like that. He stepped out of his
*Nipuna Pov* “Why would she even do that? I met her a few days back, and she was literally glowing.” I said, looking outside the car while Mridula sat in silence beside me. “We will know when we reach there. Did you get the card to enter the flat?” she asked and I turned to see her staring outside. “Yes! I can’t believe that he just walked away and reached home just because she locked herself inside a room. He could have stayed and cleared the matter right?” I asked her frowning. “Maybe he was in shock and chose to give her time. He is really upset.” She replied defending her friend. “I know!” I said, smiling and patted her hand. “Amrin!” I shouted, entering the flat thinking she may have walked outside the room after he left or worse she may have left the flat itself. “He said she locked herself in her workroom.” Mridula commented, and it took us a few minutes to reach the room after searching others. “Amrin!” I said, knocking on the door, and she immediately opened it. “Wha
*Dileep Pov* I walked inside the flat in a rush and was on the verge of move towards her work room, but stopped in my tracks seeing her pacing in the living room. “Amrin!” I mumbled, making her glance at me. “I am so sorry, Dileep.” she said rushing near to me and hugged me tightly before I could apologize to her. “Why are you apologizing?” I asked her frowning, but hugged her back. “I shouldn’t have talked about cancelling the engagement and regarding the plan to take some time.” she replied and moved back to stare at me. “You should have told me that you are uncomfortable with all of those.” I mumbled placing my hand over her cheek. “I know! But I just needed some time to think and blurted out whatever that came into my mind.” she said closing her eyes. “It’s ok!” I whispered, seeing her distress. “It is not ok! How can I let those insecurities come between us? You were honest about your past, and I shouldn’t have reacted like that. I really hope you forgive me.” She mumble
*Nipuna Pov* “She is so beautiful.” Amrin mumbled leaning on the bed to stare at my daughter who is lying in my arms. “She is!” I mumbled and glanced up to see Aahil talking with my dad and his Dad. I woke up a few minutes back and immediately asked for our baby. After that we didn’t get a chance to talk with each other with the whole family entering the room. Amrin and Dileep seemed to be more than happy, which means the morning fight has got itself kicked out of their lives. To my surprise, even Tajwar came but stood at the corner of the room. “Can I hold her?” Amrin asked forwarding her hands, and I nodded, placing the baby carefully on her hands. “She is so small.” Dileepp whispered, placing his fingers on the baby’s cheek. “What do you want me to do? Give birth to a teenager?” I asked, raising my eyebrow. “Your sarcasm will never leave you even in this weak condition too.” Aahil commented, walking near to me and sat beside me in the little place present on the bed. “What
“I am the Prince of Ivaan! How can you leave me like this?” Dileep asked glaring at me. “That prince title has no value in the real sense, and I can leave because I need to protect myself.” I replied, not showing him that his rage is affecting me in any way. “Protect yourself? But from what and whom?” he asked with confusion dripping in his words. “I want to protect myself from you.” I replied, feeling tears burning in my eyes. “Me? But why?” he continued his questions still with confusion covering his features. “Because I fell for you and have the need to protect my heart before it crumbles more. And the great Prince of Ivaan does not have the same feelings and will never have for a girl like me.” I replied in anguish and covered my face to hide my sobs but didn’t miss him getting stiff in his position. ------------------
*Dileep Pov* “Where is everyone?” I asked Mom and Dad before settling down in my chair at the dining table. My mom Premila Vishwanth glanced up at the grand staircase and sighed before glancing at my dad Abivanth Vishwanth. They both then glanced back at me making me understand that I should let go of my question. “How is your mistress?” Mom asked with a tone of disgust. “She has a name, Mom.” I pointed out rolling my eyes. “Really? Then tell me her name.” She challenged. “I forgot!” I whispered and this time she threw the disgust look at me. “I am kidding, Mom. I am not your middle son to forget the person I have affairs with. I am your sweet younger son, who has a relation for at least some time.” I said grinning at her. “And that sometime would be three or four months. Do not act like we don’t know anything. For our royalty, all your scandals get printed on the gossip page in a large font.” she scolded. “I am not a kid!” I pointed out not liking that she is scolding me eve
*Amrin Pov* “No!” I shouted, covering my face with the pillow getting it as a small whisper outside. “Don’t you think it is too late for that answer?” I heard a question making me turn to see my roommate with her raised eyebrows or shall I say my soon to be an ex-roommate. “I know!” I replied, frowning at her. “Apologize to the pillow otherwise it will feel sad to hear your negative reply.” Janani said mockingly. “I am not that horrible.” I whispered frowning more at her. “Really? You know that I will be leaving the state within two days and at the end of the month, which is just a few days you will just have to leave this room. Now, who goes and gives resignation for the work which would have helped you in searching for a new place before that?” she asked sitting before me. “She… she requested me to do this work. Her family gave me so much for my education and everything, then I should do some help for them right?” I asked her hoping she would support my decision. “Nonsense!
*Amrin Pov* “Are you married?” I asked him breaking the silence after looking around the elevator we both got inside. “Is it not too behind time to know about it?” he asked back making me stare at his face. “It is not behind time to back off also, right?” I threw my own question. “No!” he simply replied when the elevator stopped, and the doors opened. “No for what?” I asked, not wanting to step outside until I know about his marital status. If he is married, then I can escape from this elevator itself. “For both!” he replied forwarding his hand, and I took it little hesitatingly. He didn’t leave my hand and continued to walk until we reach the double doors. With some key card, he opened it and pulled me inside normally. “This is good.” I mumbled glancing around and walked near to the glass door through where a balcony is there but cannot be seen from the entrance. I glanced back to see his face and waited to hear what he actually meant in his cabin. And I really want to know
*Nipuna Pov* “She is so beautiful.” Amrin mumbled leaning on the bed to stare at my daughter who is lying in my arms. “She is!” I mumbled and glanced up to see Aahil talking with my dad and his Dad.

*Nipuna Pov* What just happened? I thought composing my stillness and glanced at my dad to see him having his food frowning at it and the paper. Why is he here and that too when he knows I could have destroyed his dreams? He even said he will never enter this house, and now he is practically living in it. Maybe he really believes me now and wishes to be part of baby’s life. It is a good thing if that is the truth, but I cannot jump to any conclusions if it involves the happiness of my baby. “No member in my party is talking to me. They must be very angry at me.” Dad’s comment brought me out of my thoughts. “This is the time they should stay beside you.” I stated before getting up to leave. “I will never forgive you for this.” He said like those words matter to me. “Then we are even.” I said, shrugging and walked away near to the stairs to start my slow climbing. “You are here.” I stated looking up from my book when Aahil strolled inside the room holding a tray. “How many time
*Aahil Pov* When I stared at her with folded arms, I stopped saying whatever I wanted and just gazed at her. She frowned and gestured at me to continue making me remember why I am there in the first place. “Where was I? Yeah! I wished to be a great politician with my every breath. However, today you just may or may not have finished it.” I said, and she raised her eyebrows. “You have a doubt?” she asked in a surprised tone. “That is not the main matter here. I should be scared and frustrated because I am going to lose my dream, and I was but for the major part of the time, I have another issue in my mind.” I replied stepping near to her. “What is that?” she asked, staring at me, but at least didn’t move back. “I know presenting in a public meeting is not a small thing and there are many things to cause damage. How are you feeling?” I asked, holding her face taking a chance of her not pushing my hands away. “Wh…at?” she asked with shock covering her features. “How are you feeli
*Aahil Pov* I calmly sat at the dining table and saw Dad walking towards the table with determination. I sighed and started serving dinner myself, which is every day's work as Mridula stopped doing it. I didn’t mind her that she stopped as I never just wanted her to do that work. However, I haven’t even wanted her to stop just because she is angry or disgust with me. “Did you hear about this?” Dad asked, sitting at his place with muscle twitching in his jaw. “Yes! I got to know about it this morning.” I replied and took my first bite. "And you are sitting here having your food?” he asked like he can’t believe I am having my food. “I thought it is dinner time.” I replied, glancing at Mom who is frowning at us along with Tajwar Bhai and Mridula. “What happened?” Mom asked us, and I shrugged before continuing to have my food. “Nipuna is going to give a speech to his father campaign day after tomorrow, and it is not a surprise regarding what she is going to talk.” Dad replied shak
*Aahil Pov* I stepped outside the car seeing the familiar car parking in the vacant space near to mine and walked near to the driver seat door to open it. “What are you doing here?” she asked, frowning at me, but got outside and locked the door. “I know that you have check-up today.” I replied, smiling seeing her after two weeks. “You didn’t remember the previous one.” she mumbled before walking away from the parking lot. “I actually remembered.” I mumbled, walking beside her placing my hand on her back to which she stilled. “Let me guess, you were so angry that you didn’t want to even come to it. I can understand that, but why are you here? What is the need to?” she asked, but still continued to walk inside after pushing my hand away. “How are you?” I asked her while waiting for her number. “Look, I really don’t need you here, and you need not to be here for anything. I am tired, and it would be good if you leave.” She simply said before looking away. “I have been calling yo
*Nipuna Pov* “Nipuna! Where are you going?” I heard Mridula’s voice and turned to see her walking near me along with Aunty. “I am going to my home forever.” I replied glancing at them. “Do you finally want to tell the truth to everyone?” Aunty asked, frowning and I snorted even with my cracking voice. “I am sure you must be glad that I am leaving. Anyway, I have something to show you with which you will be more than happy, Aunty.” I replied and took out the papers I packed along with my few clothes. “I am sure your son must have not told you. He is very good at following the rules right? These will ensure that no one of you will even get to see that baby and tell him that he needs not to worry about filing the papers because I am going to do it myself.” I added before walking away without hearing any word from them. “It is late, Nipuna. Why don’t you at least let the driver take you?” Mridula asked following me. “No! I can take care of myself.” I replied unlocking the door. “A
