Once they exchanged the garlands they were asked to go to the mandap as soon as he entered the mandap, Sri had her eyes on his shoes and finally, she got her hands on them and hid them for the ritual called Joota Churayi. The ceremony was going on, I looked at Mihir's parents who graced the occasion with their presence, showering the couple with their blessings, they looked so happy as well. As the sacred fire crackled and danced, the priest chanted ancient verses, invoking the blessings of the gods upon the couple.

" " Manik is going back to Surat, so I suggested that he take you there, but your dad said that it was so long since we went there, so let's just go. You will love the place. " Mom said and I did pack the bag and after about an hour we were flying to Surat. We reached there in about two hours and I was impressed to see the traditional haveli. It was huge and beautiful. An old man and a few other helpers were standing there in a neat line to greet us. Mom introduced me to the old man, he was Maharaj Ji, who was the main chef there, and others as well. Once I went in, I was impressed with the traditional setting of the haveli. " Mom, this is beautiful. " " It is and Megha did the interiors to make it even more beautiful.

Tami's POV " If you hate to see my face so much, why do you want to wait for 9 months? Divorce me right away, and you will get rid of me, but since you can't do it because of your selfish reasons, I suggest that you behave yourself with me, as I will not compromise on my self-respect. " " You will have to bear my behavior, don't expect me to be nice to you, as you just said that you don't expect anything from me. " He replied. " I don't expect you to behave like a perfect husband with me, but I am under no obligation to take your rude behavior. I got married because of many reasons, but my only selfish reason was that I liked you. Thanks to you, my crush has jumped out of the window. So if I am still staying in this marriage, it is beneficial only for you. So behave well if you don't want me to tell everything to our parents.

Tami's POV With each passing day, the anticipation of pending results loomed overhead, a beacon of hope amidst the storm that raged within. I was alone at home and was getting bored so I went to her showroom, Mom and Mahi were excited to meet me. We had a good time together, it was evening and I told Mom that I should go home now, I would get the food ready by the time, they were back but Mom said that we would go out for dinner.In the tender embrace of familial warmth, I found solace, a fleeting moment of respite from the turbulent sea of uncertainty that threatened to consume me. And as Mom whisked me away for an evening of indulgence, her gentle encouragement reignited a sense of self-worth that had long lain dormant within me, reminding me that amidst the shadows, there still existed a flicker of light waiting to be embraced. A gentle reminder from Mom echoed in the depths of my soul, urging me to adorn myself in the armor of confidence, She called Dad and asked him to book
Mihir's POVMom and Dad forced me to come for dinner and when I said that I was very busy, Mom and Tami came to my office to pick us up for dinner. My heart skipped a beat when I entered my dad's cabin. Tami was looking very beautiful in her pale pink everything gown. Her long hair was open, cascading on her back and framing her face beautifully. We reached there and had a wonderful meal there, she was sitting right in front of me looking so pretty but I looked at her only when it was absolutely unavoidable. I didn't want her to have any hope that we could ever be together because of my parents' measures to get us here for a romantic dinner. Nevertheless, I did notice that she looked beautiful whenever she blushed and smiled as she got a cute little dimple under her lips. Something pulled at my heart whenever she blushed. She blushed at the simplest of things and her face looked like a fresh pink rose that glows under fresh dew drops. Shit!! The romantic ambiance and music were a
Mihir's POV " What the hell?? " The couch, which we had been sleeping on whenever we shared the room, was nowhere to be seen. I turned to Mom, perplexed, and asked, "Where's the couch?"Mom, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, gave me a flimsy excuse, " Oh, da, it was looking a bit out of place in your newly decorated room, was not going with the color scheme, so I thought of sending it away. As it is she needs more space so that she can design it accordingly. " " But Mom..." " I am planning to redecorate this room as per her taste and requirements as she will share it with you so she should like it as well. " " Mom, no, I like my room the way it is don't change it. " " It's her room as well, and you know how I love rearranging the decor, frequently."" But I... We need the couch. " I said. "Well, dear, you have to do without it, as it was blocking the flow of chi in the room. Feng shui, you know?" " She said with a naughty glint in her eyes. I raised an eyebrow, not fully c
Mihir's POV My heart skipped a beat at her unexpected confession. Was she awake?? No, I recalled Gaurvi telling me that she had a tendency to speak while sleeping and at that time she spoke only the truth as she was speaking with her subconscious mind. Their Mom also used to do that. I must hurry up. With a few minutes of struggle and over beating heart, I managed to remove it. I covered her and rushed to get her nightwear. I took out one night dress and was shocked to see that it was a bit flimsy. Hell!! So I got the one she had worn on her first night here, it was comparatively modest and it was easy for me to handle it. I came back to her. As I adjusted the fabric around her shoulders, Tami shifted slightly, her hand brushing against mine as she mumbled something in her sleep. "Mihir...You're my haven..." she whispered, her voice barely audible but filled with affection. My heart skipped a beat at her words, a warmth spreading through me that had nothing to do with the tem
Mihir's POV My parents' playful teasing only added to my discomfort, and deep down, I couldn't deny the warmth that blossomed in my heart." Okay, now that you have seen that I changed her dress, please go and sleep. I am tired. " I said getting annoyed at their assumptions. " Yes, of course, we will leave you alone now. Just continue... to hear what she is saying, or doing whatever we interrupted. " Mom said and they went away. I shut and locked the door. I came back to the bed, as there was no couch now. I watched Tami sleep peacefully, her words still lingering in the air, I couldn't help thinking about what she was saying and wondered if there was more to our relationship than I had initially thought. No!! It was not going to happen. Never! It was not a part of my plan. I had to divorce her as soon as possible. I wanted to teach the Jindal sisters that I was a human being with feelings for Gaurvi but she never valued me. I was not something, that could be passed on as a gif
