Author's POV:

" You there?" Karthik asked Awan and Adi over the phone.

" Yeah." They answered together.

" Wanna come over tomorrow?" Karthik asked sitting on the bed of his cabin.

" It's Saturday and I'll be late." Adi informed them beforehand while Awan immediately accepted as it had been long since they met. And he never knew when Advi's mood swings call him up.

" Ok, but were there any restrictions from your side as your wife is pregnant Awan?" Karthik sassed and Awan scoffed.

" I'd be glad if you mind your burning ass Karthik. Moreover, concentrate on your relationship which is going south." Adi chuckled making him grumble in irritation.

" Did I or my wife ever discuss that we are not happy with you to rascals?" Karthik roared and the other two pressed their lips to control their chuckles.

" I see, was that why you are not talking to her? I've heard you didn't even look at her properly when she was at your office for a meeting." Awan spiced up the conversation. "I don't need to answer all those." Karthik spoke snarling at them.

" So, if you are done with your bickering, I need to go on rounds. Bye." Adi was bummed before ending the call.

" Show some mercy on her Karthik." Awan said softly.

" Oh, why are you so concerned about her?" Karthik asked looking at the evening sky with his narrow eyes.

" She still doesn't know the truth, Karthik." Said Awan again.

" It was not like I didn't try to tell her. It was she who pushed me afar, it was her who begged me to stay away and asked for some space. I was just giving her that." Karthik said gripping the arm of his chair.

" She was hurt." Awan tried to pacify his friend.

" I was too." Karthik snorted.

" Now stop acting like a baby Karthik, take your time but stop hurting her." Awan sounded rude this time and Karthik didn't even bother to reply to his comment.

" Bye." Karthik said and ended the call.

It was a small plan made by Karthik just for his friends but seeing Awan's amendment on getting Nithya and Advi for Diya to the Palace added to his headache.

The next evening dropped onto earth just like the curtain after the end of a beautiful drama.

" Where the heck are you guys?" Karthik chided over the phone and collided with his wife.

" Careful Karthik," Diya mumbled. He looked at her white outfit and took a deep sigh.

" Where are you going? Today is Saturday." He frowned.

" I had an unofficial meeting with the client. So, I'm going there to meet them." She said displaying her white teeth. He scanned her body for a minute making Diya feel shy under his gaze. If he is in a normal mood, he would just attach a pair of wings to her back. It was what she was away from looking like an Angel.
