Karan felt a light weight on him, something soft laying on one part of his body. He slowly opened his eyes and gasped seeing Tripura sleeping peacefully by hugging him.

He couldn't help but gaze at her as she looked angelic. Not wanting to embarrass her early morning, he slowly entangled himself from her and placed a pillow next to her which she hugged.

A smile tugged his lips seeing her sleeping like a baby. He covered her with the comforter and thought in sleep she must have come to him, and he doesn't want to make her uncomfortable about this when she wakes up. But little did he know, she herself came to him for her peace.

He went to get ready and went out to find Meera with her assistants arranging Tripura's room.

"All done?" Karan asked to which Meera nodded with a smile "Yes sir, you can check"

Karan checked the wardrobes and with satisfaction thanked them and asked them to leave. He was just hoping that Tripura likes it.

He then went to his room and found her rubbing her eyes as she sat against the headrest.

"Good morning" Karan greeted with a smile and Tripura moved her hands away from her eyes to see him, she smiled and greeted "Good morning"

"I've something to show to you" Karan grinned making her frown "Kya?"

"Chalo aao" He held her hand and dragged her to her room. He brought her to the changing room and signalled towards the wardrobes.

"Check it yourself" Karan winked and Tripura opened the wardrobe to only gasp. She opened another and another and turned to him "Itne saare kapde.."

"Yes, all are yours! And your private clothes are in the drawers"

Tripura's cheeks heated up as she looked down and Karan realising what he told he cleared his throat "Um, I mean... Meera had everything arranged by herself. She just informed me.."

Tripura nodded biting her lip and Karan left saying he'll wait for her downstairs.

Tripura looks at the collection of clothes. There was everything, literally everything! From Kurtis to gowns to frocks to casual wear to sarees to pyjamas to shorts and also all accessories including watches, makeup, shoes, sandals, heels, earrings, bracelets, bindis, etc.

Gulping, she picked out a plain simple navy blue kurti and white leggings with inners before going to the washroom.

Karan smiled seeing her freshened up. He signalled her to have a seat by the dining table.

"Did you like it?" Karan asked once she settled.

"Itna kuch nahi chahiye, aapne toh kuch chora hi nahi.."

Karan chuckled "Tumhe jo chahiye pehen sakti ho, it's all yours"

Tripura shakes her head "Main nahi le sakti.."

"Shh! Keh diya na maine. Mujhe behes nahi karna hai ab koi. Got it?" He said a bit sternly and Tripura looked down muttering "But I can't keep all that.."

He held her right hand which was on the table in both his hands, which made her look up at him.

"Kaha tha na Maine ki I'm there for you. Main hun tumhare saath tripura. Kya main tumhe kuch de nahi sakta?"

Her eyes tears up and he shakes his head "I don't want to see you cry Tripura. I want you to be happy. I know you must have gone through a lot that you hesitate to talk about it. But don't worry, now you don't have to worry about anything hmm? Tumhe jo chahiye batana mujhe, I'll take care of it"

She smiles and a tear slips down her cheek. He wipes it with his thumbpad "No more crying. Have breakfast now"

"Aap kyun kar rahe hain yeh sab?" She asks in a whisper voice.

"You're my responsibility now Tripura. I brought you here. You don't know anyone or anything here"

She looks down and mumbles "Aapne kaha tha ki main aapki zindagi ka hissa nahi hun, aapse door rahun.."

Karan bites his lip and says "Ussdin mujhe kuch samajh nahi aara ha tha, so much happened in such short time.. see we're definitely not husband and wife but now that you're here... we can be friends right?"

Tripura's looks up at him and lightly smiles nodding her head. This brings a smile on his face and he signals the butler to bring their plates.

After they eat their breakfast, Karan says "Listen, aaj shoot hai meri. Tum yahin rukna chahogi ya chalogi mere saath?"

"Chalungi aapke saath" Tripura instantly replied.

"Okay but tum meri PA bankar chalogi, theek hai?"

"PA?"

"Personal assistant baba"

"Woh kya hota hai?"

"Personal assistant woh hota hai jo apne boss ka sab kaam kare and help kare... samjhi?"

Tripura nods "Mujhe kya karna hai aapkeliye?"

Karan smiles "Kuch nahi, tumhe mere saath bahar le jaane ka bahaana hai yeh. Koi puche toh yahi kehna hai ki tum meri PA ho... aur PA hone ka yeh faayda hai ki you can stay with me"

Tripura smiled wide which melted his heart. Something was feeling different but this different was heart-warming. He felt happy seeing her happy.

"Let's go then" He said and held her hand taking her upstairs. He took out a formal white pant and a black shirt for her and asked her to get dressed while he moved to his room to change in a white polo tshirt and blue denim.

Karan couldn't help but gaze at her when she came out in that dress and had her hair tied up in a pony.

"You're looking really good" Karan couldn't help but compliment her the very first time.

Tripura blushed chewing on her lip and Karan chuckled at her cuteness. He holds her hand and takes her downstairs and out of the house towards the car. Vishal was already there and Karan had told him everything already yesterday.

Vishal is his business manager who is of same age as Karan's and he's the  only one karan can completely trust on any matter. He's more a friend than a colleague to him.

"Meet my PA, Ms.Tripura" Karan grinned as he introduced her to Vishal.

"And Tripura, meet Vishal, My business manager and a good friend"

Tripura gave a small smile to Vishal who reciprocated a sweet smile with a nod.

Vishal took the front seat and both of them took the backseat as the driver drove towards the location.

Vishal started sharing details to Karan of the shoot and other things while Tripura looked out of the window feeling safe next to him.
