Mihir's POV As Tami returned with a broom and dustpan, silently cleaning up the broken glass, I watched her, a storm of conflicting emotions raging within me. I was furious at Gauravi for leaving, furious at myself for agreeing to this marriage, and furious at Tami for being the unwitting recipient of my displaced anger. The sight of her quietly tending to the mess I had caused stirred something in me, but I quickly buried it beneath my resentment.In my mind, I replayed the events leading up to this moment. My Mom had pressured me into this marriage with Tami after Gauravi eloped with Shlok, a betrayal that had shattered my world. Tami's agreement to marry me felt like a betrayal too, as if she was complicit in this cruel twist of fate. I could not let them have their way so easily. So I had tried to keep Gauravi's presence alive through her pictures, a form of silent rebellion against the life imposed on me. But now, with Tami's images everywhere, it felt like I was losing even t
Tami's POV I was shocked to see that there were so many pictures of mine everywhere instead of Gauravi's. Who got these pictures here?They were the best pictures of mine ever clicked. Some pictures were from the wedding as well. I had felt pangs of pain when he said that removing her pictures from here would not change everything and he doesn't need to see her pictures to see her. Though I knew it, it hurt when he said all those things, especially after a very good evening spent with everyone around and when I thought that things might change for good. But he disillusioned me by making it clear that he will not accept me at any cost, and that I disgust him when I try to do all this...All this?? What was all that? I didn't do anything. He asked me why was I dressed like that. And after a hot banter, I came to know that he gave all those gifts because his parents pushed him. Then he said that I would get everything, that I should get, being his wife, but not him. I was annoyed bu
Tami's POV Once ready, I decided to check on Dad before leaving. I walked down the stairs, my steps light and my mood uplifted by the productive start to the day. But as I approached the living room, a chill ran down my spine. Dad was seated on the couch, but something was wrong. His face was contorted in pain, his hand clutching his chest."Dad!" I screamed, rushing to his side. His breathing was erratic, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and agony. He was having a cardiac arrest. Panic surged through me, but I knew I had to stay calm. My mind raced, recalling every bit of first-aid knowledge I had. I called out to the servants, my voice trembling but firm. They responded swiftly, their panic evident but controlled by the urgency of the situation.As we moved to help Dad, I noticed a set of papers clutched in his other hand. Divorce papers. My heart sank as I realized Mihir must have sent them. The shock of receiving such devastating news must have triggered his heart attack. I
Tami's POV Minutes stretched into hours as I waited, each tick of the clock a reminder of my helplessness. Siddh came running to me and Vihan also came out of the emergency room and informed me that it was a major heart attack and if we had not reached here in time, we could have lost him.Hearing that I burst into tears and my brother pulled me in his arms. Vihan said, " Don't cry, Tami, I assure you that he will be safe now. You brought him here well in time and saved his life. " " Where are Mihir and Megha, Aunty? " Siddh asked. " Mom is in Gujarat her mom was not well. Mihir is at his office, he had a meeting... I tried calling him many times but he didn't pick up the call. " I replied. " He must be in the meeting or the phone might be mute. " Vihan said explaining his behalf but I didn't say anything. " Call him, Vihan!! I will inform Taiji " Siddh said and went to call my mom. As I sat there, memories of my short time with Uncle in Shah Mansion flooded my mind. He had alw
Mihir's POV My phone rang again, pulling me from my reverie. It was Vihan. Something in the pit of my stomach told me this wasn’t a social call. I picked up, my voice betraying my impatience.“Mihir, where are you?” Vihan’s voice was urgent, strained. “Your dad has been admitted to the hospital. He had a massive heart attack.”The world seemed to stop. The coffee cup slipped from my hand, shattering on the floor. “What? How? Is he... is he okay?” My voice trembled with fear.“He is critical. You need to get here immediately.”The Rush to the Hospital I sprang to my feet, my heart pounding as I rushed to my car. The drive to the hospital was a blur, my mind a whirlwind of fear and regret. How could this have happened? My father, the strongest man I knew, lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life. And here I was, caught up in petty revenge and marital strife.As I navigated through traffic, memories of my father flooded my mind. He had always been there for me, guiding me with wisd
Mihir's POV " Tami, tell us beta! " Uncle insisted gently. " D... don't know. I didn't get the chance to see them as I got scared and panicked. I needed to bring him here as no one else was at home. " She said and started sobbing. She was lying. But thank God! She didn't tell anyone. " It's okay Beta, that was more important, if you had not brought him here in time, anything could have happened. His condition was very bad at that time, even Vikram was very tense to see his condition. We could see that it was something massive. " Her dad said. Oh, shit!! Almost one hour was over, and nurses moved in and out of the emergency room, their expressions grave but professional. Every time the door swung open, I held my breath, hoping for good news. Finally, Vikram uncle came out and we all rushed to him, his face a mask of calm reassurance." Mihir, Your dad is out of danger for now," he said. "The next 24 hours are critical, we'll do everything we can and he'll be fine. Thank God Tami
Mihir's POV The hours passed slowly as we waited for updates on Dad’s condition. Vihan came by periodically, offering reassurances and updates. Even Vikram uncle came to visit Dad a few more times. Each time he spoke, I felt a surge of gratitude for having such skilled and caring doctors and friends around. Gautam uncle and Maurvi aunty went to attend to their patients but Maurvi aunty brought food for us. I refused to eat as I was not in the mood to eat anything Tami also shook her head. So Aunty served the food on a plate and made a bite for me to eat and tried to feed me with her hand. "Aunty please, I don't feel like eating," I said, but she insisted that I eat. " Eat the food, you have to take care of the business, your dad, and the family. Who will take care of everything if you fall sick? You will need energy to take care of everything. Solve the issue of those papers as well that caused him this attack. Don't him any stress, that eas the whole purpose of your sudden wed
Mihir's POV After about ten minutes, the door opened, and Mom and Bhai rushed in. Mom was crying and Bhai looked very tense as well. They asked us about everything and I told them some of it. " Papers?? What papers? " Manik bhai asked. " I will take care of them... " I said but he wanted to know, I told him that we could discuss it later. I didn't want mom to know. I could tell bhai. Tami gave water to Mom and Bhai. Vihan came to check again and Mom asked him. He told her that it was a very massive one and since Tami got him to the hospital well in time, they could save him. Or things would have gone out of the hands. Why did he have to praise her so much?? She was already the apple of their eyes, now Mom would go crazy about her. Even I was thankful that she brought him here in time but the problem would not have arisen if she was not there. That girl surely knows how to cast spells over others. Mom held Tami in her arms and cried thanking her. " Mom, please calm down. " Sh
