*Amrin Pov*

"What?" Dileep suddenly shouted at the person he is talking to and managed to choke on his food too.

I immediately stood up and started patting his back while offering some water for him. However, he pushed the glass away before standing up and walked inside his study room.

I waited for him to return which he did after a few minutes and started to pace along the hall with a tight expression.

"What happened?" I asked him softly, hoping this is not that much of a serious issue.

"What happened is that my brother is getting married." He replied with gritted teeth, and I stared at him little confused along with shock.

"And that too tomorrow night." He added and this time I actually gasped.

"Is he eloping?" I asked him in a whisper.

"No! My parents are forcing him, and he has no other choice." He explained and flopped on the couch.

"Why are they forcing him?" I asked, standing behind him and started pressing his head, hoping his blood pressure will not rise with all the tension and anger he is showing on his face.

"That girl got what she wanted. It seems like her parents attacked my family and without this marriage, there will be a huge scandal for the whole family and the end of Aahil Bhai." He explained and leaned back when I continued to press his forehead.

"But how can they let the marriage happen if the girl is trapping him?" I asked him.

"I have no idea! He called me to rant about it and hung up." He replied.

"Why don't you go and talk to him?" I suggested, and he nodded getting up.

"So, she actually doesn't need any money from your family?" I stated it more than asking after hearing what actually happened.

"Yes! Her family is top in politics, but are my family rivals. If this marriage is not performed, then they will not leave my family alone." He explained more.

"And the paternity test will endanger the baby's life so for now they will get married and will have the test after the baby is born. After which they will get divorced and will not even lose anything from the family with the mistake on their side and not us." He added, and I stopped in the midway from holding his hand hearing his words.

"Isn't that a little or even more cruel?" I asked him frowning.

"For whom?" He asked, frowning back.

"For everyone! What is the fault of the baby? Maybe they will get comfortable or even settle for each other." I replied staring at his face.

"You do not know anything about our lives so do not comment." He said in a hard tone.

"I may not know about your lives, but I know about the right things." I said in a calm tone.

"And maybe she is right about saying the baby is your brother's." I added, hoping he would not think so wrong about the baby who doesn't have anything to with the situation.

"Shut up, Amrin! Just do not speak another word like this again. I know you can never understand what happens in the high society, and I am not expecting you to be a part of it. So, just keep quiet." He shouted, getting up from the bed.

I sat stunned after hearing his words while he walked near to the cupboard and started taking out few suits before getting them in a bag.

"Dileep..." I started placing my hand over his shoulder, and he just shook it off.
