Rishi POV:

Hi everyone, you all missed me, right? I know after the Women's Day chapter, I gained a lot of followers. I also saw some comments saying I am a green forest. Sorry to ruin your imagination, but no, girls and boys, I am human. Sorry, a fictional human.

I know I will always have a small place in all of your hearts, so don't worry that I am fictional. I will be within you all when you feel lonely or single. Just think of me; I will be there. Okay, we are off-topic now. Let's get back to my Di's wedding, shall we?

The sangeet is going on so well, and everyone danced until their legs were worn out. Jiju scolded every one of us for making Di dance so much, but we all didn't care since Di was laughing behind him.

We all have dispersed to our rooms for the wedding tomorrow morning. We have to wake up very early in the morning since the muhurtham is at 4:45 am.

I sat in my room, and suddenly I was sad. Sad that she is going to get married officially and this will be her home from now on. And I have to leave tomorrow after her wedding.

There is no reception since Jiju said she cannot stand that much time. We just arranged all other events except that. After tomorrow morning, she will become a member of this family, and eventually, I have to go back. I can't forever stay here, can I?

That is going to be selfish on my part, doesn't it? Sure, this family treats me like their own, but that doesn't give me any right to stay here, right? At the end of the day, I am an outsider. I sighed as my heart filled with heavy emotions.

I just walked out of my room and roamed randomly and ended up in front of their room. I looked at the door to knock, but I didn't want to disturb their time, so I turned to leave. But Jiju opened the door, and I looked at him.

He just simply said, "Oh kiddo, come, come inside." I followed him and saw Di sitting on the balcony couch. Jiju said, "I will be right back kiddo, your sister is craving for ice cream." I nodded and sat beside my sister.

She looked at me and asked, "What is wrong, kiddo? You look so down." I shook my head and gave a fake smile, saying, "No Di, I am perfectly fine." She cupped my face and asked, "Come on, tell me what is going on? Did someone scold you?" I sighed again.

Wait, how many times did I sigh today? How can she always know that something is wrong with me just by a glance? I kept my head on her lap and closed my eyes. She caressed my hair. "I am worried now, kiddo. Just say what is going on?" I said, still with my eyes closed, "I am just going to miss you so much, Di."

She asked, "Why?" I sat up and said, "I am going to the penthouse tomorrow evening, Di." Her eyes widened as she asked, "No, why? Did anyone in this house scold you?"

I shook my head, "No Di, no one did anything. It's just that I don't have any right to stay here, Di. Yes, I am your brother, but that doesn't give me a right to stay here with all of you, right? Eventually, I have to go back. But I promise I will visit you frequently."

She said, "No, I will talk to Vihaan, kiddo. Everyone here loves you as their own kiddo. You can stay here with me." I said, "No Di, don't tell any of this to Jiju, promise me."

She looked into my eyes for some time and finally said, "Okay fine, promise. But can you consider this once again, kiddo, please? I want you here with me." I said, "Even I want to be by your side, Di, but you are married, and I have to accept the fact that I am grown up." I wiped her tears as she asked more like a whisper, "Can't you stay any longer?"

I was frustrated, no, annoyed, no, angry. Arghh! I don't know what this emotion is, but for the first time in my life, I raised my voice at her, "HOW LONG, Di? Every minute I stay here, I feel like I am a burden to everyone. I know you want me with you because you are scared that I will run into some trouble, but Di, I'M GROWN UP NOW, so I have to leave, don't I?"
