Chapter 10: Chapter 10

*Amrin Pov*

“What is today’s special?” he asked eating the cake I baked for him by the time he returned to the flat in the evening.

“Nothing!” I replied, not wanting to create any problems by saying that today is kind of one-month anniversary since I met him.

“Well, this is delicious.” He said finishing the piece and gave a small smile.

“This is your favorite flavor.” I said smiling back.

“You know that? But I do not know about yours.” He said getting up to attend a call while I frowned.

I told him about mine too, right? Maybe he forgot! I thought and got up to put the plate away and returned to see him frowning.

“What is it?” I asked, placing my hand over his shoulder.

“We need to go to a party, but I do not want to so I didn’t say anything. But now the host is requesting for our presence.” he replied, and I frowned hearing his reply.

“If you want to, then we can go.” I said staring at his face.

“Ok! But just let me know when you feel uncomfortable.” He said in a serious tone and walked inside the bedroom to freshen up.

We reached the party venue within an hour to see most of the media already left from there. This is maybe my second one, but I am now comfortable with him, so I just didn’t feel any nerves stepping on my toes.

“Not nervous?” he asked when we walked inside.

“You are beside me, right?” I asked him back and before he could say anything, the host reached near to us.

He is the one who gave me creepy looks at my first party, and I even felt sad for Dileep not saying anything to him. Today the man was more than polite and behaved with complete respect.

“Forgive me for my mistake that day, but think about our merger again, Mr.Dileep.” The host said and even apologized to me before walking away.

“He is apologizing for what?” I asked him frowning.

“That day, for not behaving to his age, giving bad looks to you.” Dileep replied.

“So, you are cancelling the merger?” I asked him in shock.

“Yes! I will not spare the people like him.” He replied and gave me a glass of champagne while I just stared at him.

Hearing his words, I just felt warmth inside me making me feel something else, which seems to be a special feeling. After a few conversations, he pulled me to the dance floor, which was not there at the first party.

He pulled me close encircling his hand around my waist and holding my hand with his other while I placed my other hand on his shoulder.

I continued to stare at his face even while dancing while he stared at me and then at the guests who are walking passing us to share a word.

“What is it?” he asked frowning.

“Thank you!” I replied, rubbing my thumb over his hand.

“It was nothing.” He said, shaking his hand, and I smiled at him because it was everything for me.

“Shall we leave?” he asked after sometime and I nodded, not caring for anything around me.

I leaned to the window and smiled, which I want to do, by the time I felt that he cares for me. He really cares about me! I thought more and more and just sighed.

“You seem to be happy?” he asked when I didn’t let the smile go even while laying my head over his shoulder snuggling with him.

“I am!” I replied before letting the sleep consume me.

“What was that for?” he asked when I fed him breakfast with my hands, and I just shrugged saying it is nothing.

“Can’t I do this for you?” I asked him back when he frowned a little.

“I never thought you could.” He replied but didn’t stop me from feeding him.

“I will have to go out for lunch with a client.” He said when I was looping the tie around his neck.

“Ok! But don’t be late in the evening.” I said, not meeting his eyes.

“What will I miss if I will be late?” he asked, brushing my cheek with his hand.

“Even I don’t know what you will miss, but try to be not late.” I replied pleading him, to which he nodded and left after giving me a long kiss.

“Amrin! Guess what?” Janani shouted the moment, I lifted the call.

“What?” I asked her frowning.

“My husband is a good person.” She replied making me chuckle.

“Really? How can the world be so cruel to you?” I asked her teasingly.

“Shut up! Anyway, he seems to be good and is caring for me.” she said in a dreamy voice.

“I am happy for you.” I said, smiling to myself.

“I wish you will also get a guy like him. And he has a cousin so shall I talk about you to him.” She asked making me frown.

“No!” My sharp reply shocked myself.

“I mean I am not ready for anything.” I added, and she hung up after we talked about other things.

“Hello?” I lifted the call from new number frowning.

“Amrin! How could you not do a single work properly?” I heard all too familiar voice shouting at me.

“Shilpa?” I asked, hoping that she is not the one at the other end.

“Yes! All I asked is you to work for a few weeks. Can’t you do that?” She continued to shout.

“Madam, you should leave the premises.” I heard another voice from her side.

“I am coming to meet you in that small flat of yours.” She threatened.

“I am not staying there.” I said, biting my nails not knowing what to do.

“Then give me your new address.” she said, and I closed my eyes tightly.

“I am in Vishwanth office building.” I replied, glancing at the clock to see that at this time he would be out of office.

“I am also there. But what are you doing here?” she asked in confusion.

“I…” I started to say, but have no words at all.

“Well, will you finish by today?” she asked and shouted at the people behind her, I guess.

“I am staying with Dileep.” I replied and clutched the phone wire.

She suddenly laughed, saying, “That is a good joke. Now tell me where are you.”

“I will come and meet you.” I said hanging up.

I stepped outside the flat and walked inside the elevator, pressing for his office floor. When the doors opened I saw a security guard who is ready to stop me, but I explained him, gesturing at the place where Shilpa is creating a fuss and said I will stop her.

After contemplating for a few minutes, he let me enter, and I rushed towards her when a security guard held her hand.

“Shilpa! Come with me.” I said, holding her hand and started dragging her toward the stairs knowing fully that it is not a good thing to take her to the penthouse.

“You are really staying here then.” She stated and all I did was nod before dragging her more, but she stopped me with full force.

“Are you sleeping with him?” she asked in a raised voice.

“Shilpa!” I said, looking around to see a few staff members walking around staring at the scene.

“What? Are you sleeping with him? Of course, you would do that. I didn’t know you were in this business too.” she spatted and I left her hand like it burned me hearing her words and stepped back.

“Do not say anything if you don’t know. We are in a relationship.” I said in a low tone remembering the manners.

“Yeah, right! And I am the fool on this planet.” She said sarcastically before holding my forearm in a tight grip.

“So that is why you accepted to help me. Now I do not have a job while you are whoring around here.” She spatted more and before I could open my mouth, I felt someone pulling me away from her.

I then felt the warmth of a body holding me saying everything is fine. But it is after hearing those disgustful words from the person whom I thought as my sister, nevertheless, foster sister.

“How dare you to say anything to her?” I heard Dileep’s voice, and I looked up to see his face not so clearly with the tears in my eyes.

“But…” Shilpa stuttered.

“Do not say a word. This company will be giving the remarks towards your working capability. Just know that you are in trouble.” He said cutting her off while I stilled in his arms.

“Take her away.” he ordered, and she was dragged away with lots of protests coming out of her mouth.

Then he dragged me into the elevator while I just stood like a statue and then we both stepped inside the flat. I felt my legs weak with which I was a second to fall down, but he pulled me to him closing the door.

“Do not give any heed to her words. She will not trouble you again.” He assured me rubbing my shoulders, but I cannot remove her words from my mind.

“Is she right?” I asked myself and he suddenly held my head between his hands making me look at his face.

“I said do not give any importance to her at all.” He repeated after which I nodded and hugged him tightly.

“Were you informed about the incident?” I asked after sometime lying in his arms.

“No! I just returned and saw the commotion.” He replied and I slowly nodded.

“You have to go to the office, right?” I asked him glancing at the clock to see that it is past the lunch time.

“Yeah! I will leave.” He replied, getting up and started wearing his coat.

The words of asking him to stay didn’t pass my lips, and I didn’t let them fully knowing that his business is really important for him and he already wasted two hours.

“I may not return soon.” He said wearing his watch.

“It’s ok! Your surprise will still be here.” I said and followed him towards the door.

I washed my face and took a deep breath, forgetting her each word because I know what I am doing is not a bad thing when I am feeling like flying and not drowning.

After a few minutes, I nervously glanced at the clothes boutique manager selected by herself and selected the one which is his favorite color.

“Where is the surprise?” he asked the moment I served the food wearing my robe as he came here late like he said.

“Have your food!” I replied, smiling at him and we both had our dinner.

When he sat on the bed after freshening up, I paced before him with not just nerves, but also some other animals jumping inside my stomach.

“What is it?” he asked, glancing at the clock.

“You should be honest and only tell the truth.” I started to which he frowned.

“Don’t tell me now you are going to question about my past relations.” He said in a hard tone.

“No! Just let me finish.” I said, fiddling with my hands and slowly untied the robe.

“If I look like disastrous, you should tell me without hiding it.” I added and stared at everywhere except his face until I felt his fingers on my waist.

“You know I never lie and let me tell you I would have returned soon if I know this is my surprise.” he whispered in my ear, and I wish my hands moved to cover my face with which I can hide my blush.

“So, I am ok?” I asked and looked up to stare into his eyes.

“Ok? You do not know the effect at all.” He replied and hauled me on the bed along with him and actually showed me in a way how effected, he got because of the surprise, and I tried to blush as less as I can with his husky words and everything.
