As we pulled up outside the mansion, Ahaan turned to me and spoke in a serious tone, "Listen, there's a party that I have to attend tonight. It's a pretty significant event, and a lot of important people will be there. And you know how the press is, right?"

He was about to say more, but I cut him off by my quick response. "I'll come," I said in a firm voice, "I know how important this party is. And I don't want the press cooking up any more stories about us. I'll be ready."

I don't know why I agreed with him so easily?! I could've protested but there was a part of me that wanted to help him, to support him in his endeavors and another was tired of the gossip and speculation that surrounded us. And then there was the fact that I had starting to develop a strange kind of affection for him, one that I couldn't fully understand or explain.

"Are you sure?" He asked, his voice laced with surprise.

I nodded, my expression resolute. "Yes, I'm sure," I said. "It's better this way. We don't need any more rumors or speculations. Let's just put on our best faces and get through this party, okay?"

I know it's confusing, right? I felt a strange pull towards him that I couldn't explain. It was like there was a connection between us that went beyond our initial arrangement. Maybe it was his confidence, his strength, or just the fact that he made me feel things I had never felt before. But seeing him so stressed and worried about the situation with the business deal made me want to support him, to make things easier for him in any way I could. And attending this party together seemed like the best way to do that.

I didn't want to admit it even to myself, but deep down I knew the real reason I had agreed to go to the party with him was not just for the sake of avoiding the paparazzi. A part of me wanted to spend time with him, to be by his side, to see him in his element, handling the business world with ease and confidence.

From the very first day I returned to work after our marriage, Ahaan has been consistently giving me rides to and from the hospital. Initially, I was curious as to why he was going out of his way to do this, especially since we live in opposite directions from work, so I asked him about it. But he always gave me these flimsy excuses, never giving a clear answer.

However, I quickly realized that there was no point in pressing him. He was clearly not going to give me a straight answer, so I stopped asking and instead just enjoyed the time we spent together in the car.

Even when I walked outside the hospital today, my eyes fell upon him. He was standing outside the hospital near his car, waiting impatiently for me, and my heart skipped a beat. His eyes were filled with concern, and his voice was soft when he spoke to me. It was a side of him I had rarely seen before. And it made me feel... cared for, protected, even loved.

I walked into the mansion and saw Vishnu kaka working in the kitchen, his hands were busy chopping vegetables with practiced ease. He looked up as I entered and gave me a warm smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
