I got up early and did my morning routine, but I had to forgo my workout, which I didn't like at all. Rishi was still asleep, pulling his pillow tight to his chest as if his life depended on it. He was the second person with whom I shared my room; normally, I don't like sharing my room with anyone, including Aditya.

"Get practiced, after marriage, you have to share your room with his sister," and here we are again, I rolled my eyes and decided to work. It has forgotten about the deal.

I have a company to run, and I need to travel to New York next week for an important business meeting with Forbes. I checked my emails, and Knight had provided me with all of the crucial deals and information I needed for my future meetings. I sat on the couch so I wouldn't disrupt his beauty sleep. He was fatigued and needed to rest. I was working on a few drawings when my phone vibrated; I took it off the table, and it displayed Aditya's caller ID.

What does he need right now, especially so early in the morning?

"How's your in-laws' trip going, brother?" was the first question he asked. He is such a nice bastard. "Mr. Deshmukh, good morning. I suppose you have a business to run, so please concentrate on it and go to your business, bastard." I stated in a very annoyed tone.

"I recognize you, idiot; by the way, where is Ada? I'm trying to call her, but she's not answering." That's why he phoned me. "How am I going to know? Am I supposed to be her secretary? No, correct? I asked him and paired my phone with my AirPods. I was going through my emails when Knight's message appeared, while my best friend was ranting about how he missed me.

Good morning, sir. I hope all is okay with you. Mr. Kapoor wants to meet with you; he was on your meeting list for tomorrow, but because you are not here, we must cancel your appointment, and he wishes to attend. What should you do?

"I'll call you later, Adi." I have something to deal with, and you can call your sweet Ada if you want to talk to her," I added before hanging up the phone. I dialed Knight's telephone, and he answered immediately. He wished me well, and I reciprocated.

"Tell him, if you want to meet me personally, then he has to wait for two months as I am going to New York next week, and if he wants to do the meeting virtually, then you handle it."

"Okay, sir, I will inform you. And the files and drawings you require for the New York trip are ready, and I have already emailed them to you," he remarked before hanging up the phone.

I reviewed the drawings, but they need to be adjusted. I heard a knock on the door and looked over at Rishi, who was soundly sleeping. It was still early, at 7:30 a.m. I stepped up to the door and opened it, only to discover her aunt waiting there with a cup of tea.

"Good Morning, son, I hope you are comfortable here," She greeted me with a lovely smile, which I unexpectedly returned with a little one.

She looked inside the room and discovered her son sleeping. She sighed, and I moved aside to allow her to enter the room. She placed the tray on the table and moved closer to the bed. She was going to rouse him awake when she paused, a broad smile spread across her face, and she caressed his hair with love.

Something ached inside my heart.

Maa used to do the same with me, but I don't have anybody to do it with now.

"Rishi.... beta...." she spoke quietly, rubbing his hair, but he did not wake up. "Rishi... wake up, baccha," she said again, prompting him to awaken in his sleep. She grinned as he took her hand in his. His eyes were still closed. She shook her head at him and then glanced at me.
