Tami's POV But where were we going?? It didn't seem to be like a normal outing as he was fuming and there was just no such plan of going anywhere, at least, I was not aware of it.He was sitting there in his car waiting for me, I opened the passenger door and sat beside him. As soon as I closed the door of his car, he drove without a single word. He was driving very fast and I was really worried but I didn't want to instigate him even more by saying anything. But when he kept on increasing his speed, I could not keep quiet. " Mihir, drive slow. " I said but he increased the speed instead. " Mihir, for god's sake, drive slow. "" Scared for your dear life?? Then why did you marry me? What did you think about your future when you agreed to marry me? That you will have a happily ever after? I am sorry to break your bubble, Mrs Shah, but you have no future with me. " He said. " It doesn't matter what I thought, as you will not understand it under the present scenario. Just drive sl
Tami's POV " I got married due to some reasons but my fiance eloped at the last minute so I had to get married to her younger sister. Is that a valid reason, I don't want her as my wife." He explained bitterly and I felt so humiliated by the way he described everything. " Did her family keep you in the dark and replace the bride without your and your family's consent? If yes, then your wedding can be declared null and void. " the lawyer said. " No, they did inform us, and my mom and I knew about it." He said tears were brimming in my eyes, but I was determined not to shed one single tear. " Then I am sorry, the marriage is valid and you need to wait for 6 months to file a divorce. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, obtaining a divorce within the first six months is not feasible," the lawyer interjected, his voice tinged with solemnity. "Moreover, there must be valid grounds for such a petition... And in this case, it's not there." He replied. " Okay, got it! One more thing, You know
Tami's POV But I would not give him that sadistic pleasure, so I smiled at him and said as you wish, though I was hurt beyond the limit now. I was already hurting to see him getting married to my sister as I knew she was not in love with him. And now when I was married to him and wanted to give him all the love he deserved, he wanted to divorce me. " Say something!! " He said. " What do you want me to say? " I asked. " Give at least some reaction. " He said and I exhaled and looked at him. " What?? " He was getting annoyed. " You seem to know everything that is going on in my mind, every nasty thing that I plan then go ahead and guess what is going on in my mind. Why do you need a confirmation? Think whatever you want. I don't care if you divorce me right now, the day after, after 6 or 9 months. " But I will divorce you, you can't get what you want if I didn't get what I wanted." He reminded me. " Great!! Why don't you say that in front of your family? " I said with a smil
Tami's POV " Where are you going? What will I tell Mom or your family if they call? " He asked again getting annoyed now. " Why would my family call you to ask me where I was, when they can call me directly? I am going to meet my friends. " I just shrugged. " Who are your friends? " He asked with a raised eyebrow. How does it matter to you? " Why are you taking so much interest in me all of a sudden? Don't worry, I don't have any hidden boyfriends. Or I would not have married you. Right?? " " Tami... " " Oh yes, of course, I would have married you even if I loved someone else, as you belong to the richest family in the country. Well keep thinking what you want, I just don't want to be alone with you." I said, going downstairs. " Tami, where are you going? " He was still following me. " Don't pretend that you care, It doesn't suit you at least in my case. " I replied. " You are my responsibility till you are here. " He said. " No, I don't give you that right over me, my
Tami's POV I got ready wearing a beautiful Indian outfit and some nice elegant jewelry that my mom had got for me. Combed my long straight hair and was ready in less than 10 minutes. He came back to the room and said, " We need to talk. " " No, you have already said a lot for the day, I don't want to talk to you," I said and went out immediately. We ventured to Mom's cherished spot for dinner, basking in the cozy ambiance that enveloped us like a warm embrace. Amidst the flickering candlelight, Mom and Dad shared tender glances that spoke volumes of their enduring love, reminiscent of my own dear parents."Dance with me, my love?" Dad's voice, filled with affection, cut through the melodic notes floating in the air. Mom's reply was swift yet gentle, redirecting his attention towards me. Despite my initial hesitation, Dad's outstretched hand beckoned me, and with a shy smile, I placed mine in his.As we swayed to the rhythm of the music, Dad's steps faltered, prompting laughter to
Mihir's POV. The first morning after the wedding. As I stepped into the room, my gaze immediately fixated on her figure, draped in a saree, her wet hair glistening under the light. I watched, captivated as if seeing her for the first time. I was looking at her wearing a saree for the first time and it draped her like beauty and elegance personified, and that accentuated her innocence and beauty. She didn't notice my presence until the sound of my footsteps interrupted the silence and snapped her out of her reverie. Startled, she turned suddenly, her eyes widening in surprise as she realized I was there. At that moment, a few droplets of water from her wet hair landed softly on me as she turned quickly and our eyes met. In that moment, time stood still. I could feel his heart racing, his breath caught in his throat.Despite my inner turmoil and the weight of the situation, I couldn't deny that she was very beautiful. Caught off guard by the unexpected intimacy of the moment, I co
Mihir's POV " Please take good care of her, she is very sweet and caring. Please try to make her feel comfortable. I know you loved Gaurvi, but she didn't. Now you are married to Tami, so please start your life afresh. I swear, I will beat you to a pulp if I get to know that you don't treat her well or misbehave. " He gave me a subtle warning. Mom asked Tami to come with her and she went away. I assured Siddh that I would treat her well. After a few minutes, Tami came back wearing a pretty Indian dress. She looked... Nice." Aww... You are looking so pretty, Tami. Isn't it, Jiju?" Sri asked and I had to nod." When did you grow up into such a pretty girl?? " Kabir, her maternal cousin teased her, she just blushed and looked at me. I was getting uneasy but didn't know what was the reason for it. They all left after telling all of us to come for dinner, but Mom said that they had a lot of things to do but I would definitely come for dinner. Once they left, Ron kept teasing me that
Mihir's POV In the evening Mom sent me to Jindal mansion. Since my childhood, that house had been my favorite place to go as my Gaurvi lived there, but today, I didn't want to go there. But I was in such a situation that I could not avoid it even if I wanted to. Her memories were haunting me. Everyone looked very excited to see me there. The lavish feast laid out by Maurvi Aunty, a harmonious blend of North Indian and Gujarati flavors, spoke volumes of familial warmth and inclusion, a gesture meant to embrace me as one of their own. Despite the genuine hospitality extended towards me, beneath the surface, a torrent of emotions churned - memories of my love lost and the weight of familial expectations intertwined, casting a shadow over the festivities.Though I indulged in the culinary delights with outward enthusiasm, inwardly, my heart remained heavy with unresolved sentiments. Each smile I offered was a delicate facade, masking the ache of past wounds that lingered just beneath the
