*Aahil Pov* “Finally, we will have a chance to show our rival that we are good at everything.” Dad said proudly when I climbed down the stairs for the party. “And finally, I have done something for which you are feeling proud.” I said sarcastically before looking at the guests piling up into the house. “I know I have been hard on you, but that is for your own good, Aahil. I always wanted a career in this, but look at me now. I am just a mediator.” He said sighing. “If your sad story is finished, can we welcome the guests?” Mom asked him walking near to us. I shook my head and walked towards the refreshment table, picking up a cold drink. I glanced around thinking why are they making so much fuss so soon. I need to do something before I can get this celebration at all. “Can you move Aahil?” I heard a voice and turned around to see Mridula holding a tray of another set of drinks. “Shall I help you?” I asked her and helped her in arranging the glasses. After finishing it, I glanc
*Aahil Pov* How dare she come to my party office and say that she is pregnant and I am the father? I thought still fisting my hands in rage. So now after knowing who I am, she just thought of trapping me, but didn’t want to do anything with me when she doesn’t know who I actually am. As if I will again fall for another disaster like this. That time if not for the some part of the brain thinking to work, I would have got married to that girl two years back. Does she really think she can threaten me like this, and I will get threatened? I thought, snorting and then realized what would Dad say if he gets to know about this. I will not let him know at all and will deal this with myself unlike the last time. I do not want another disappointing look in his eyes as there were many already. After just trying to finish the work as much as I can, I reached home for dinner only to get attacked with questions like how as my first day and all. I ignored them and sat down to see Mridula smili
*Aahil Pov* I paced in the living room tapping my phone thinking at least now she will call me to escape this marriage, which she too doesn’t want as per her expressions. However, I cannot believe her expressions to be genuine as she is the one that brought her dad here and even threw a blackmail. “I cannot believe that we are again in this situation. Didn’t you learn your lesson, Aahil?” Dad asked, still sitting at the couch along with Mom and I closed my eyes. “She is lying, Dad.” I replied, wishing I am not in this situation. “We saw the report.” He pointed out. “I don’t care what it says. She may be pregnant, but I am not responsible for that.” I said gritting my teeth. “We will know it only after the baby is born. So, just go with the wedding without doing any stupid things.” He warned. “But why would I ruin my life like that when she is trapping me.” I said turning around. “If it turned out that you are not the father, then you can divorce her and will even get our rep
*Nipuna Pov* “Thanks for being with me all this time, Chaitra.” I said, hugging her when she decided to leave along with the remaining guests. Dad already left and I just nodded at him when he indicated that he was leaving. What else should I tell him when I know now he is going to breathe in relief that there is not much of a scandal? “Why wouldn’t I be? Anyway, I will tell our friends about your wedding tomorrow like you asked me to.” She said and I nodded. “Tell them it was not like a grudge for not telling them but just didn’t want to have anything else on my plate for today.” I explained again and she nodded walking away. “Did you have your dinner?” I heard my Mother-in-law asking Aahil who is standing little away from me. “No! I am not hungry.” Hearing his reply, she glanced at me asking the same. “I did!” I replied and she nodded before calling for someone. “Take her to Aahil’s room.” She mumbled to the woman who reached near us and I wish I knew her name as I even saw
*Aahil Pov* Why the hell did I even kiss her? I thought, frowning and shook my head, staring at the ceiling wishing I didn’t do it. But she just does not know when to shut up or stop herself from saying something, which is making me wish to hit something hard. However, I know I can’t hit her, and I think I should even stop kissing her. It is not like I have no right to as she is my wife, but I do not want her to be. I cannot forget that she is carrying someone else baby and is even trying to trap me by not signing the papers. However, why would she want to do that? I asked myself thinking does she really hates my family like her Dad. What would she gain from all this when she can go to the baby’s father? I wish to ask her all of these, but with the second word she utters, my blood just boils with anger with her sarcasm and challenging tone. “You are up early.” Mom stated in a surprise tone, and I rolled my eyes before sitting down at the dining table. “Where is she?” Dad asked,
*Aahil Pov* “What happened to you?” I asked Dileep on his second day of unusual stay here, and he ignored me as usual. “Did you send her away?” I asked the next question while still waiting for the food to the dining table and even for our parents. “I wish!” He replied in a whisper, and I heard a snort from beside me. “Stay away from this, Nipuna.” I warned her. “What will you do if I don’t?” She asked back, and I turned to see her already staring at me. “Why can’t you leave me alone?” I asked glaring at her. “Why can’t you leave your brother alone? He is not a kid.” She retorted. “That’s right! Mridula in the evening and now you. You both need to back off.” Dileep said, shaking his head and Nipuna gave a victory look. “That’s because we care for you, which cannot be known to an outsider.” I stated and she stared at me with a blank expression before staring at the plate. I glanced up to see Mridula frowning at me and looked away when I gestured at her about what happened. I
*Aahil Pov* What am I even doing? I thought before pressing my head to the steering wheel and then glanced up to stare at the building which is having a business of clothes. Though I have no business relating to those things, I have a personal business regarding the work going on in the single room on the top floor. This is all Dileep’s fault! I thought planning to call him and scold him for asking me to keep an eye on this woman. I don’t know what she is doing there with that guy, and it is not even my duty to know as all Dileep asked me is to make sure she doesn’t leave the city. I step outside the car and started climbing the stairs, hoping they both don’t see me or any media. When I reached the room, I heard the guy saying, “Yeah! Just like that.” Ok! Am I going to walk on them while they are going on or what? I thought, shaking my head and then glanced through the window only to take a step back. Painting? Really? And looks like he is teaching her. Is it some act or they ar
*Nipuna Pov* “Did you see this?” I asked him standing before the mirror to my side and grinned at his face through the mirror. “It’s a bump.” He replied, standing up from the bed and walked near to me. “Yeah! I am finally more than showing, and now it is not just news that I am having a baby.” I mumbled caressing the bump. “I don’t think so. You are behaving like a pregnant woman from the past two weeks with your hormones and all.” He said placing his hands on my shoulders. “Do you think I am attracted to you because of the hormones? Don’t sell yourself so low, Aahil.” I said smirking at me. “You are attracted to me?” He asked raising his eyebrow. “What do you think we are doing for the past few days? Playing board games?” I asked him raising my eyebrow copying him. “You have an answer for everything don’t you?” He asked before tugging me back, and I laughed, pushing him away, but he didn’t release me from his hold, and we reached the bed. “I need to go for my check-up, Aahil
