Another week has passed.

Martin is doing everything he can to keep his pregnancy and hospitalization a secret...

But one individual was aware of everything.

Jake, on the other hand, was fatigued... he kept his cool... he buried his feelings in his heart.

Martin likewise pretended to be harsh in front of him. Jake carried out Martin's orders and performed his responsibilities.

"Martin, do you recall my parents' anniversary is next week?" Maya inquired

'Yes, I remember.... and my family and I will be there early...

', Ok, fine... be there on time...' Maya left after saying that.

She came to a halt in front of Jake on her way back.

'Jake... this Monday... after work... come with Martin to my parents' anniversary... okay...'

'Yes, ma'am, I understand,' Jake said.

*Why would Brother want to bring him along? * Maya returned to her cabin.

Days have gone...

On the anniversary of Maya's parents...  Jake joined Martin's family as a driver...

'Hey, Driver, park the car and wait outside... Robert stated with a proud and pitiful tone.

Martin clenched his fists...

'His name is Jake, and he is not your chauffeur.' He is also Maya's guest'.....

'Hey.. my baby doesn't know... you don't have to be harsh,' said Robert's wife Alexa.

'You are a very lousy actor, sister-in-law,' Riya detested.

'Hey... you... are you better than me?' Alexa retorted...

'OK, that's enough... we're here... at the very least, act like a happy family... Martin stepped out of the vehicle...

Riya accompanied Martin, and Jake trailed them...

Robert and Alexa also entered the magnificent home.

*He just defended me.....(blushing)* ... Jake felt delighted inside...

Martin's father and mother were already there, the party was so affluent and exclusive.

Maya greeted them and welcomed them inside.

Mike approached Martin.

'Hey... How are you doing... 'I heard you had anemia.' Mike grinned.

'Yeah. I'm alright.. thanks, Mike...

Let's go buy you some food. Martin and Mike departed...

Everyone at the gathering was so wealthy... Jake had the impression that he had arrived in the wrong location...

Jake walked outside to the garden area and sat on a bench.

'So she was attempting to teach me the difference in status between us... I got it... I can't catch him... he is the star that I can't get in this life' Jake raised his palm to the sky as if attempting to capture a star...

'you can't catch, what?'... Riya, Martin's sister, sat alongside Jake. "So you're the Jake Martin I've been hearing a lot about"...

'Yes, ma'am.'

'You don't have to refer to me as such...  It doesn't sit well with me. Call me Riya'... She grinned...

'Yes, Riya...'

'So you were sitting here alone, trying to capture stars?'

'No, I was just getting some air.. these kinds of gatherings are not for someone like me,' Jake said nicely.

'Yes, I understand... I, too, don't enjoy this... likewise, Martin... it's just a family thing, that's why I came..'

'I know he doesn't enjoy parties.'

'It's no surprise he likes you; you understand him.' Riya was quite pleasant.

They talked a lot about Martin.

Suddenly, a guy dashed towards Riya.

'Riya ma'am... Martin sir... he fainted there'...

What?... Jake and Riya dashed to the party...
