Atid decides to go to the Mansion that was gifted by his Grandpa on his 21st birthday. He didn't want paparazzi to see Aroon with him and spread unnecessary rumors. He is not concerned about his reputation but he didn't want Aroon's name to be tainted. He enters the gate of his mansion and parks the car in the garage. He picks up Aroon and carries him into the house through the side door in the garage. As he enters the house, he can feel everyone's eyes on him.

Atid: Aunt Ja

An old lady in her 50s comes forward with a smile on her face.

Aunt Ja: Yes Young Master Atid

Atid: Is the guestroom clean?

Aunt Ja: Yes

Atid: Then ask someone to get some drinking water and few clean towels in the room. I also need a pair of fresh set of clothes brought into the guest room.

Aunt Ja: Okay Young master.

Atid: I do not want any news about his presence to be leaked out to the media. If I hear a single gossip, I will make sure to show that person hell in person.

All the servants look down with trembling lips, hearing the cold and authoritative voice. Atid carries Aroon upstairs into the guest bedroom and places him gently on the bed. Atid looks at him and removes the hair falling on his face. His eyes trace Aroon's face and ends at his rosy plump lips. Atid gently traces the lips with his thumb but jolts back in shock hearing a low moan escape from Aroon's mouth. He takes a step back and shakes his head in despair.

Atid: I cannot get close to him. I don't trust myself near him. What should I do?

Atid thinks for a minute and then dials a number. The person on the other end picks up the call and says hello in groggy voice.

Atid: Mr.Niran?

Niran: Who want to know?

Atid: Ìt's Atid Chanthara here.

Niran: Sir

Atid: I am sending you an address. Please come here right now.

Niran: But

Atid: It's regarding your friend Aroon.

Niran: I will be there asap.

Atid: Hmm

Atid disconnects the call and then looks at Aroon who is sleeping peacefully.

30 minutes later:

Atid is standing on the balcony overlooking the lake when he hears a knock on the door.

Atid: Come in

The door opens and Niran enters the room with a serious expression. Their eyes meet for a second and then Niran's eyes fall on Aroon lying on the bed. He rushes towards the bed and sits next to Aroon, holding his hand.

Niran: Aroon

Atid: He is sedated.

Niran: What happened?

Atid: He has been through a traumatic experience and fell unconscious due to stress. I brought him here as I didn't have his address.

Niran: But what exactly happened?

Atid: I think Aroon should be the one to tell you that. You can stay here with him. There is a pair of shorts and tshirt for him to change. Please help him change. You can ring the bell if you need anything else.

Atid starts walking out of the room.

"Thank you."

Atid looks back at Niran.

Niran: Thank you for taking care of him.

Atid just nods and exits the room.

Niran looks at Aroon sleeping on the bed. He gets up and changes Aroon's clothes. He then sits beside him and gently strokes his forehead.

Niran: What happened dimples? Why are you in this condition?

Niran feels pain seeing his bestfriend lying injured and looking pale. He settles himself on the bed and keeps checking Aroon for fever or any other symptoms of distress. Soon he fell asleep next to him.

Niran wakes up sensing someone's presence in the room. He half opens his eyes and see Atid standing next to the bed and looking at Aroon. He gently places his hand on Aroon's forehead and a frown appears on his face. He quickly walks away from there. He comes back with a basin and towel. He gently wipes Aroon's body and then makes him drink medicine. He then lays him back on the bed and covers him with a comforter. Niran is watching all these in awe, unable to decide whether his boss is a devil or an angel. Atid once again looks at Aroon before he exits the room. Niran checks Aroon's fever and feels relieved as the fever has gone down. He goes back to sleep feeling relieved.

Next day morning:

Aroon feels irritated as light falls on his face. He moves around and then slowly opens his eyes. He felt a slight pain in his head but what startled him was the strange place he was in. He looks at his surroundings and is surprised by the lavish interior of the room.

Aroon: Where am I?

Aroon tries to get up but feels a bit dizzy. As he is about to fall, someone grabs his waist. He looks at the person standing next to him.

Aroon: Niran

Niran: Careful Aroon. You are injured.

Aroon: Whe....where are we?

Niran: Mr.Chanthara's house.

Aroon looks at Niran in shock. Suddenly everything that happened the previous night flashes before his eyes. Tears start forming in his eyes.

Niran: Aroon

Aroon hugs Niran and cries as the trauma of previous night haunts him.

Niran: Did he hurt you? Mr. Atid?

Aroon shakes his head in no.

Aroon: He....he helped me.

Niran: What exactly happened Aroon?

Aroon explains everything that happened in the previous week including last night. Niran clenches his fist in angry.

Niran: That bastard. How dare he....

Aroon: Niran, please..

Niran: Why didn't you say anything about this to me?

Aroon: I didn't want you to cause a scene and lose your job. Your parents have high expectations from you Niran. I didn't want you to destroy your career for me.

Niran: You could have complained to the HR.

Aroon: Who would have believed me, a trainee over a manager who has been with the company for so long?

"I would."

Aroon looks at Atid who is standing at the door staring at him.
