Author’s Pov A month later Arun’s birthday! It was easier to tell people to Forgive but standing in the shoes of a person to forgive someone is always hard. It's the same thing with Arun! He knew it was his brothers who sent a freaking hitman to attack him! … he understands why they wanna attack him god forbid he gets it but how dare they get the mere idea of even attacking his wife? He had everything in hand, yet he couldn't do anything! His mother had begged him not to file a case against his brother, but how could he stop his blood from boiling in anger?

Author's Pov"How do I look?" Anjali asked and like always Arun smiled at her folding his arms across his chest.It was always rare to see her dress up in a saree but when she did it was always magical like the first time to him.He stood up and walked to her in complete awe! She wore a pink cotton silk saree, earrings that matched her saree, and a tiny black Bindi on her forehead—as if this wasn't enough to make him weak! She wore the bangles he had gifted her at the beginning of their wedding. He noticed that she loved wearing them almost every chance she got, and Arun loved watching the bangles adore her wrist. Hence, he saved her name as a bangle in his contract.Back to the beauty in front of him, she kept looking at him for some words but our bro was still busy crushing over his wife. Arun lifted his hand, forming a loose fist with his fingers and moving it in a circle in front of her face, once, twice before sharply flicking his fingers away, like he was physically throwing aw
