Ron's POV" Shall we go for dinner, I am hungry. " He said to stop the discussion." Of course, you are... Let's go. " Chachu laughed and went out placing an arm around Chachi's waist. " Hey, beautiful, since he is a very boring man, would you like to come to dinner with me? " I asked her as I was teasing Raj he was behaving almost as Manik was around Roshni." Why do you think I would go out with you?? " She asked with a smile." As I am more handsome than him," I replied." I don't think so... You both look the same. " Myra retorted." But I am more interesting. " I argued." Maybe, but you are a bit late, I am married to him now. " She said with a smile. Roohi and Ruhan laughed. Mom and Dad also smile and shook heads." Shit!! I wish I had proposed to you first. " I smiled as well."Shall we go?? " Raj placed an arm around her waist and pulled her to him.Oye, hoye!! Possessive husband...She was surprised but nodded and went out with him.We reached the hotel and went to the
Mahi's POVThe atmosphere of our home was very tense. Our home which was bursting with excitement just last week, was absolutely silent as if it was deserted. Manik bhai was so upset that he was not talking to anyone. Not even to Mihir and me. He looked sad because of the decision his dad had taken. Tauji and Taiji (paternal uncle who is elder than her father) went back to the USA taking Roshni with them. Even Mihir and I were not talking to our elders as their decision was not fair. But then Dad explained that they had a reason to do that. Anyway, we could not stay angry with them forever, especially me, who was very attached to my parents. I was their princess. All 5 of us were having breakfast and still, there was absolute silence. " Manik, beta please don't be so sad, two years will pass away very easily. " Dad said but bhai didn't say anything. " We are sorry, but it was the only way out. See on the positive side that at least you are married to Roshni, not Myra. " Dad tri
Ron's POV " I am sorry to say this, but this is not right. They loved each other and wanted to be together. That engagement and marriage were fixed in haste. I am really sorry again, but no one asked him before fixing anything. So why should he be punished for this? And I feel for Roshni as well. I consider her my sister. It was not fair to her as well. " I said because I could not contain my frustration. I happened to look at Mahi and for the first time after years, I saw her looking at me without any angry look on her face. In fact, she looked surprised. " For a change, I agree with him. Bhai was not at fault. Both of them are being punished for what? Being in love?? I didn't expect this from all of you. He is too sweet that he is taking this punishment, I would have revolted. " Mihir said. Mahi nodded standing beside him. " Same here. " I nodded and said. But mom changed the topic for good. Mihir was their son and could say whatever he wanted to his dad, but uncle was already
Ron's POV " Have you seen my room?? How will you change it if you don't know what you have to change? Come, I will take you to my room. " I said with a smile. " Send the pictures of your room to Mom, there is no need for her to see your room. " Mihir said glaring at me as he joined us along with Roohi and Raj. Even Ruhan came back with the damn samosas. But just then Roohi's phone rang and both Mihir and Roohi shared a look and excused themselves. What was that look?? Something was definitely going on between Mihir and Roohi or he would not have gone, leaving me standing with Mahi. Who was calling them that made them exchange that look? " That's not the way, to do the interiors of a room, I guess, I have to request Megha Aunty to do my room, since her new assistant doesn't seem to do her work properly. I want my room to be done by some professional. " I said as to instigate her. " For your kind information, I am absolutely qualified to do my work. Mihir Bhai doesn't know it bein
Mahi's POVI came back home with Mihir and went to my room. Oh, God, why are you allowing him to come near me? Please, keep him away from me. I don't want to go through that pain again.Flash back ...I still remember that vacation in Surat about 10 years ago. We all had gone to Surat and Dad asked Rahul uncle and his family to accompany us. I was 12 years old at that time. It was a sunny afternoon, the golden rays of the sun cast their warm glow over our majestic high-rise haveli, standing tall amidst a vibrant garden. The haveli's rooftop offered a breathtaking view of the lush greenery below, that was enticing me to admire its beauty.I was standing on the edge of the rooftop, leaning forward to catch a better glimpse of the enchanting garden. I was always fascinated with beautiful gardens just like my mom. My eyes were fixed on the picturesque garden below. It was a sanctuary where my brothers, his friends, my dad, and Rahul uncle were engaged in playful games and laughter, the
Mahi's POV Flashback..." Mahi, look at the notebook. How will you learn like this? " He said, I nodded and he explained again. Once he finished, he asked if I understood, and I nodded. " Good, now go and study. I have to help them or they will beat me. " He said with a smile but I took it seriously. " Bhai and Raj, don't beat him or I will complain to Mom and Dad, he was helping me in my studies. " I said. And all three of them smiled at me and Bhai told me to go and tell the cook to send cold coffee, for them. It meant that they were going to take a break... " I also want it. " I said " But you don't like it, don't you want to drink your chocolate or strawberry milkshake? " Bhai said with a surprised look. " Ron, what will you have, coffee or milkshake?? I will drink a milkshake, will you have it with me? " I asked. " No, Mahi, the milkshake is for kids like you, I will have Coffee. " He said with a smile. " I am not a kid. " I said making a face. " Ok, I take my words
Mahi's POVMy dad was angry with Ron. I didn't want him to scold or beat Ron. I had to stop him, I could not let Dad hurt him.I opened the door and went in." Dad, please don't say anything to him, I love him. Or I will not talk to you. " I said and tears started flowing from my eyes. He closed his eyes and hugged me." I won't, don't cry, baby. " He said hugging me." Promise?" I asked." Yes! " He said." And you will let me marry him?" I asked looking at him hoping that he would agree to it as well." You are only 12, too young to think about all that. We will talk about it after 10-12 years. I can't think of you getting married to anyone for now. I can't live without you, baby. " He hugged me very tightly." You are not angry with him? " I was so worried about Ron after I heard my dad's views about him." No, beta, he saved your life, we can't be angry with him. " Mom assured me." But Dad was angry with him, I heard everything. " I said crying." Oh, you know how much he lo
Mahi's POVMy heart already belonged to him but my mind, the more rational organ of my body was nagging me constantly.Would he ever see me as more than a young girl, the sister of his close friend? Would he recognize the depth of my love, hidden beneath my shy smiles and stolen glances?Uncertainty gnawed me, but I remained steadfast, my heart was holding onto the hope that one day, my hero would come to realize the love that burned brightly within me.I started gathering information about him in bits and pieces and within no time, I knew everything about his likes and dislikes, his favorite dishes, color, movie, actor, singer, player, game, car, holiday destination... Everything. I was going crazy about him and he was oblivious of me.He was in the last year of the school and as he was extremely good-looking, tall, fair, and handsome, he was very popular (along with Shaurya and Viren) and already the crush of many girls.It was a challenging and emotionally charged period, one that
