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

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.

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

And as she retreated to the couch, I couldn't help but feel the weight of her sacrifice, a testament to the depths of her love.In the hushed stillness of the night, I grappled with guilt but slipped into slumber almost instantly. In the soft glow of dawn's early light, I stirred from my slumber, hearing a strange sound, the remnants of sleep still clinging to my weary eyes.

Kneeling beside her, I reached out a hand, feeling the coolness of her skin against my fingertips.I saw her hair falling on her face. With a tender touch, I brushed a strand of hair from her face, my heart felt bad at

I called him to set up a meeting, he said that he was on leave but I told him it was urgent. I wanted to consult him about something, but Tami came into the room but waited when she saw me talking over the phone. I was still talking to him when the doorbell rang.
