ADVIRA'S POV:

"Amelia Rodriguez". Dylan replies making me nod my head. But then suddenly I remember that I have heard this name before and just like that Evelyn's friend's face flash in front of my eyes.

"In which school does she study?" I ask to get the answer of my query.

"St. Joseph High School." He replies making me sigh.

"I think I have met your sister." I let out.

"But how? I mean I never brought her here." He remarks making me roll my eyes. I can understand his confusion so I describe him about how his sister is Evelyn's friend and how I have met her.

"You should go to sleep and then tomorrow we can think about something to solve your problem." I tell him sternly when I notice that he was going to oppose me.

When he walks towards his room, I make my way to my study room. I sit down on the recliner and start working on my laptop. I have already lost a big project so I can't let same thing happen again. However, it's not like I am letting the person go so easily who has stolen crucial information of my company. I have heard from Mum how Papa has built the company from scratch so now it's my responsibility as the CEO to take care of it fully.

Just then my phone starts ringing so I look at the caller ID and instantly a smile break into my face. Because it's none other than Vivaan, Subho Mama and Jasmine Mami's son who is calling me.

"Kemon achhish, Bhai?" I ask in Bengali.

(How are you, brother?)

"Ami to bhalo achhi. Tumi bolo, tumi Kobe ashchho Kolkata?" He asks making me smile.

(I am fine. You tell me, when are you coming to Kolkata?)

"Seta to bolte parchhi na karon amar kadhe kajer chap onek beshi. Sob chhar, eta bol okhane sobai kemon achhe?" I ask getting up from the recliner before walking near the bookshelf to retrieve a book.

(That I can't tell you as there are a lot workload on my shoulder. By the way, how is everyone there?)

"Everyone is doing great. But as usual, Maira's pranks are getting out of hand now. So Mom is thinking of sending her with Anu Pishi to LA." He replies.

"Really? That will be awesome. It's been nearly one year since I have met her." I remark happily.

"Sometimes I think that you love her more than you love me." He complaints which makes me laugh.

"I love both of you equally. Why do you keep comparing yourself with her? She is younger than you so it bound that she gets a little bit of extra love from everyone." I let out.

"Fine, I will stop complaining for now." He replies and I can imagine him sulk like the baby he is.

With his bearded look, he comes out as a very tough guy but only a few knows the reason behind his cold facade. The constant bullying throughout his school days has made him harsh towards others but not to us. For us, he is still the gentle boy who used to throw tantrums over his favourite food.

I talk to him for some more times before he cuts the call saying that he has to attend a meeting making me realise that in India, it's now day time.

I concentrate on the task on my hands and start working making a perfect presentation for the meeting next week. Although I have a team to do these types of small works but I have learnt from Papa that we should sometime do things by ourselves so that we don't go out of habits.

THE NEXT DAY

I have spent last night in the study room and only get to sleep for three hours. So, now I am having a terrible headache but that can be cured with Mum's special ginger tea. After freshening up, I quickly make a cup of ginger tea for me to start my day. Thankfully, I don't have to get ready to go to the company as I am taking one week break.

But there is a much more important issue that needs to be solved and for that I have to talk to my parents. However, I can't do that right now because I am sure they are having dinner seeing it's 10 am here.

"Divi, what's for breakfast?" Evelyn asks walking inside the kitchen along with Dylan.

"I haven't made anything yet. So, how about we go out for breakfast today?" I ask and just as I have guessed my baby starts nod her head excitedly. On the other hand, Dylan looks deep in thought to hear what I just said. So, I clear my throat to gain his attention.

"Yes?" He asks looking confused.

"I said that we are going out for breakfast. So, you should get dressed." I order making him nod his head. He goes from there without saying anything and this is perfect timing for me to talk to Evelyn.

"Eve, do you like Amelia?" I ask although I already know the answer.

"Amelia as in my classmate?" She asks while I nod my head in response.

"Yes, she is my bestie and she takes care of me all the time. So, I always takes extra lunch for her everyday." She replies happily but then a pout form on her lips

"That's great, baby. Then why are you pouting?" I ask getting confused.

"Divi, Amelia doesn't have anyone except her big brother who rarely come to meet her. She has told me that she wants to live with her big brother but for that they have to get a house first which they can't afford. So, she stays with her uncle who is very bad." She answers.

"What do you mean by her uncle is very bad?" I ask not liking the tone of my sister.

"Her uncle always scolds her for small things. Not only that, he doesn't even give her food all the time and that's why I bring her lunch everyday." My blood boil just thinking about the little girl going through so much. Also, I don't think Dylan has any idea about what his uncle is doing behind his back. Now, I am 100% sure that my decision will be the best decision for Amelia.

"Okay, baby that's enough chatting for now. Go get ready and don't forget to take a shower." I tell her.

When she leaves the kitchen, I send a message to Mia and ask her to get information about Dylan's uncle. I really hate it when anyone abuse children as I have heard how my mother was abused throughout her childhood for no reason. It's my Dad who unknowingly saved her from her so-called grandma and aunt.

I also decide to get ready and after looking at my still untouched dresses I go for the Yellow Color Spaghetti Strap Polkadot Print Knotted Design Maxi Dress. If I am not wrong then I think this one is gifted to me by Riya Mashi on my last birthday.

I hold Evelyn's hand in mine and then both of us walk downstairs where I know Dylan must be waiting for us. However when I don't find him there I get confused so I think he must be outside getting the car ready and thankfully this time my assumption turn out true. I get into the back seat along with Evelyn while Dylan starts driving the car.

"Dylan, take the car to your Uncle's place." I order.

"Umm, but may I know why?" He asks looking at me with confusion.

"No, you can't." I reply not wanting to tell him about my plan.

After that he doesn't ask anything in return and keep driving the car. Nearly half an hour of driving the car stops in front of a rundown house.

"Go and get your sister." I order Dylan who looks hesitate but does as I have said.

"Where is this place, Divi?" Eve asks looking out of the window.

"Just wait for a few minutes, okay?" I let out while she nods her head.

Soon I notice that Dylan is walking towards the car along with Amelia and I think Evelyn notices her best friend too because my sister starts squealing in happiness. I get out of the car and ask Amelia to get into the backseat so that she can sit with Evelyn. On the other hand, I get on the passenger seat beside Dylan who again starts driving the car after I tell him where I want to go.

"Miss Advira, how do you know my brother?" Amelia asks making me smile at her.

"Your brother works for me, sweetie." I reply looking back to her with a small smile.

"Thank you for taking me with you all." She says sweetly.

"You are welcome." I let out before the two best friends start chatting between them.

When we reach the restaurant, we quickly order our breakfast as all of are quite hungry seeing it's already 11:30 am. The girls keep talking about random things which is okay because it's not like they get to spend time out of school.

"Ma'am, can you please tell me what is going on with you?" Dylan asks with desperate eyes.

"Did you get any solution that where will you keep your sister?" I ask.

"Till now I have not thought anything about it but I have to do something soon. " He replies looking worried.

"I have a good solution for your problem." I let out.

"What is it?" He asks eagerly.

"Look, you stay with me all day because you are my bodyguard, so even if you take a house on rent, your sister will have to be alone all day. So it is better to be with someone who can take care of her." I reply.

"I am not understanding exactly what you are trying to say." He remarks

"I do not like to talk in riddle. So, I am directly saying that I want your sister to stay with my parents in the Bianchi mansion." I answer.

"Thank you for your support but I can't accept this help. I am your employee but that does not mean that I should take such help from you. Don't worry, I will soon find some solution myself." He says shaking his head.

"When I already have such a good solution, what is the need to look for another solution? Look, I understand that you are a sincere person and you don't want to take my help but think of your sister. In this age she has a special need of family and as much as I know my parents, they will be very happy if Amelia stays with them." I say hoping that he will understand my point of view. But when he doesn't say anything in response I know I have to go for plan B. So, I look at my sister who is still busy talking with her friend.

"Eve, how will you feel if your best friend is always with you? Like all the time I mean 24/7." I tell Evelyn.

"It'll be a lot of fun." She replies instantly with a bright smile.

"Ma'am..." Dylan tries to stop me but I have already started my plan and he can't stop me now.

"Amelia, do you want to see a nice place?" I ask and thankfully Amelia nods her head excitedly.

However, before I can say anything Dylan storms out of there making my eyes widen because it seems he is very angry or disturbed by what I have done. I ask the girls to finish their food before I go to find my angry bodyguard.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask Dylan as soon as I find him outside the restaurant.

"When I told you that I don't need your help then why did you ask Amelia indirectly to visit your parents place?" He asks looking furious and this is the first time of me seeing him angry.

"I am just doing what's right thing to do. Amelia will be hap-" He doesn't let me finish by showing me his palm.

"I have been taking care of my sister by myself so I don't need to know from an outsider how to keep her happy. Thank you so much for your support but it will be better if you don't try to dwell in my or my sister's life." If I say that his words doesn't hurt me then it will be a lie. But I am not going to show him that because he is no one important to me.

"You are taking care of her so well that I don't think you even know that your sister doesn't get to eat everyday because your pathetic uncle doesn't feed her." I say and without giving him any chance to reply I walk away from there.
