*Aahil Pov* “I will take my leave.” I said to the host getting up from the chair after glancing at the clock. “What? This is weekend, Aahil. Don’t you know you can enjoy these as you are still unmarried?” The host asked with slurry tone. “No thanks!” I mumbled stepping away. “You are no fun, Aahil. You should have joined some software companies like us and then you would have been enjoying your life.” Another friend mumbled before I could move. “Sure, sure!” I said, tapping his shoulder and decided to leave before another college mate stops me and gives the same decision which I am getting from the past few years. I definitely can’t drive now with those vodka shots starting to have their effect on my head. It is best to call my driver! I thought removing my phone from the pocket. Before I could type the numbers, I heard a commotion from a side and saw a few guys trying to hold a girl with her protesting. “Stop it!” I shouted, moving near them, but she already started hitting a
*Nipuna Pov* I woke up groaning and rubbed my eyes feeling like I just got ran over by a truck. I shook my head and remembered what happened yesterday and then glanced beside me at the empty space. I remember him waking me up in the early morning and saying he needs to leave now after giving me his number. He even made me lock the door so that no one else will enter the room. I patter the paper below my mobile and crumbled it with the anger at myself for having a one-night stand for the first time in my life. If it is not for the anger at some people, then this wouldn’t have happened. However, I cannot fault anyone except myself. I yawned and chose to leave the house before anyone questions me. I got inside the car and dialed the number to make few people learn the lesson for doing such disgusting things. “Where are you, beta? You are fine right?” I heard the sound of my dad’s bodyguard. “I am fine, uncle. But you have some work to do.” I replied and explained him about the spi
*Nipuna Pov* “Did you hear?” Chaitra asked in a whisper, and I glanced up from my delicious ice cream to see her with a look that shows she has some secret. “No! I am busy in eating.” I replied shrugging. “I can see that! Anyway, your ex is having troubles in his marriage.” She said making me look at her in surprise. “I think just one month passed since their marriage right? Then why were they having them already?” I asked her frowning. “Who knows! I think he kind of rushed to get married after getting his one year dating into the trash because of your dad. Now, he is having trouble because of that.” She explained. “Tell him that I will kill him if he spread those rumors that he rushed because of the incidents with me. Even though if he rushed, then he should have patience to get themselves settled and not complain like a kid, which he is definitely.” I said pushing the ice cream away losing the interest in it. “I think we will get late for a movie if we don’t leave now.” she s
*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,
