Tami's POV Mihir glanced down at the bed, then back at me. “I guess we... moved a lot in our sleep.”“Yeah,” I said softly. “I guess so.”His eyes flicked to the nightgown I was wearing once again, and I saw his expression shift from embarrassment to something else—something I couldn’t quite place. “You finally wore one? ” he asked, gesturing vaguely at my attire. I felt my cheeks heat up again." Did I have any other options? It's mom's doing... She removed every modest nightdress I had. " I said. " I wonder what came to her mind. " He said. " Clearly, she seems to think we need some... encouragement,” I said hesitantly. Mihir’s eyes widened, and then, to my surprise, he laughed. It was a genuine, warm laugh that I hadn’t heard from him in a long time. “That sounds like her,” he said, shaking his head. “I should have guessed that she was planning something like that. Mom is mom... ” His laughter was infectious, and I found myself smiling despite the awkwardness. For a brief mome
Tami's POV I was astonished to see Mihir already waiting for me. "How was your day?" he asked.Not bad!! "Good, but tiring." I said with a smile. " You said you would be free by two, I reached here exactly on time but you were busy with him. Why didn't you inform me if you were getting late? " He asked. " No, I had finished and wrapped up everything, when he called me. " I said. " Why?? Doesn't he know that you have asked for a leave? " He asked making a face. " Dr Rajvanshi wants me to go to a seminar and a camp for 15 days." I told him everything. " Seminar and camp?? For 15 days?? But how can you go for 15 days? " " But it will give me very good exposure and practice. " I said. Mihir's expression tightened slightly. "Is that what he called you to discuss? Are you sure it is genuine? " He asked. I looked at him, puzzled. "What do you mean?" I asked as I didn't understand why he was asking such a question. "I don't know, I don't trust him much." He said"That's because you
Tami's POV Everyone was enjoying the gathering a lot, I liked how Ron Jiju and Raj Ji were taking special care of their pregnant wives. It was so good to see them so happily in love with each other. " What are you looking at, Tami? " Roohi asked looking at me. I didn't realize that I was lost in my thoughts looking at them and Roohi noticed that. " They all are looking so sweet, so much in love with each other. I wish God to bless them with every happiness. " I said and my eyes got a bit moist saying that. " Thanks, and wish the same for you. " She said, and before I could control myself, a tear rolled from my eye all of a sudden. " Thanks, Excuse me!! I said and rushed inside. Before she could stop me. I knew that I was not fortunate enough to get this kind of love in my Life. I loved Mihir, but he just could not get rid of me as his parents didn't want him to divorce me. So we might have a life together as I was hoping after last night, but it would never be as beautiful as th
Tami's POV" Sure, Jiju!! I will help you. " I said and went to help them, we thought of a very nice menu after discussing with Mahi and Myra asking about their food cravings. Once the menu was decided, Ron Jiju announced the menu looking at Mihir and Vihan, and all of a sudden, Mihir and Vihan also joined them. " What happened? You were not interested in cooking... " Ron ji asked. " But since we all are here as a group for a picnic, we should be a part of everything. So we will cook with you." " As you wish. " " And ladies, just Imagine that the prince of Jodhpur and the diamond prince of the country will be cooking for you. " Vihan said and Mihir nodded looking at me. I smiled at them. Myra and Mahi went to have some rest or nap, Roohi looked at us while we worked. I delegated the work to them kept giving instructions for very easy tasks and finished the complicated steps myself. " You must be enjoying with 4 good-looking chefs assisting you? " Roohi asked and I nodded. The
Tami's POV None of us moved though the water was very cold but we seemed to have frozen there. He was ogling me continuously and didn't seem to be angry.I bit my lip as I was embarrassed and he looked at my lip and gulped. I didn't know what to do but my heart was beating hard. Finally, I sneezed and he placed me down and switched off the shower." What kind of stunt are you doing so early in the morning? " He asked in a very strained and horse voice. " Stunt?? I was just trying to switch on the geyser. " He looked at the switch and shook his head. Then he went out to get his bathrobe hung it around my shoulder, and pulled another towel, giving it to me to dry my hair. I nodded and he went out.Once I went out after removing the wet shirt, drying myself with a towel, and wearing his robe, I saw him sitting on the bed with a towel wrapped around his waist. " Didn't you think that you might have fallen? Could you not wait till I was awake?" He asked."I wanted to get ready bef
Tami's POV I called Mahi to ask if she wanted to eat something special, and she said she was fine with Thepla and Rawa Kesri. " And what about Myra di? " I asked. " I think you have got almost everything prepared. I think she will like something out of it. Thank you so much, Tami. You are a sweetheart. I will be out in 5 mins." She said. I helped the staff arrange the breakfast and planned for the lunch and dinner menu till Mahi and Ron Jiju came out holding hands. " Good morning. " Ron ji greeted me. " Good morning, Jiju. " " Hey, I hope you slept well. " Jiju said with a naughty expression. Mahi blushed and hit him on his chest for being naughty, " Ron, stop it!! " " Why?? We need to ask them, after all, they are family. Didn't you see how lovingly your brother carried her to his room?? I know, that even though you were dying to ask her about it, I am curious about what happened next... Tell us, Tami! " Ron Ji asked again. " Ron!!! " Mahi said scolding him. What?? Mihir
Tami's POV As the hours passed, I sat there watching the friends and siblings teasing each other, laughing, and having a good time. The bond they shared was incredibly strong, and even though I was enjoying myself, I couldn't help but feel a pang of longing for my own family and friends. I wished someone like my sister Sri or my friend Sagarika were here so I could share in the joy just as much as everyone else seemed to be.I felt out of place when the Kapoors talked about their family or childhood memories. Mahi’s stories about her childhood with Mihir, Manik bhai, and Ron ji were particularly isolating. Ron ji was Manik bhai’s friend and a part of her childhood, just as Mihir was a significant part of mine. I remembered the days when Mihir, Vihan, and Roohi used to come to our place for group studies. I’d find excuses to stay home just to catch a glimpse of Mihir. Back then, I thought he liked Roohi since they were always so close. But slowly, I realized his eyes were always on Ga
Tami's POV One summer evening, during a family barbecue at their place, I found myself alone with Mihir for a brief moment. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the garden. He was setting up the grill, and I offered to help. We worked in comfortable silence for a while, and then he turned to me with a warm smile.“You’re a great help, Tami,” he said.My heart skipped a beat. “I’m just trying to be useful,” I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.He chuckled. “You always are.”Those words stayed with me long after the evening ended. It was the first time I felt like he truly saw me, not just as Gaurvi’s younger sister, but as Tami. The air was crisp, leaves were turning shades of gold and red, and everyone was in high spirits. I was fifteen, and Mihir was almost nineteen. Years passed, and my crush on Mihir only grew stronger. Gaurvi never saw him more than as a friend and there were no signs of budding romance from her side.Then one fine day, Gaurvi and Mihir engaged

Maurvi's POVMy handsome husband was just too naughty. He kidnapped me right after a wild wedding night. He didn't give me time to even pack my clothes and the clothes he had packed...

But Gautam being Gautam, kept me there pinned me to bed.We did go out of the hotel when I used to get angry. But I was on top of the world. I joined the hospital and enjoyed working with Gautam, Vikram and Sandhya. We have been married for a few months when Mehul and Megha invited all the friends to their farmhouse. That farmhouse reminded us of those romantic moments we shared there. I was very excited to go there. We reached the farmhouse in about 2 hours.

She was friends with Mihir, Vihaan and Roohi.I wanted to tell this guy Aarav to stay away... I was waiting for him to come. I saw Vikram coming to drop Vihaan. We greated each other with a man hug."

Gautam's POV" Is it morning already... I can't even open my eyes? " She said" But you need to get up dear."" No !! I want to sleep, I am tired. "Oh! so, my wife wants to sleep. Just like I wanted to when my mom was wasting my time playing those games. I grinned, in any other conditions, I would have obliged her but not right now. She needs to get up." Maurvi??? Get up please... "I shook her." No, I am tired. You did not let me sleep earlier, I am sleeping now. "Oh !! She is talking while sleeping..." So how was your wedding night... ?

Maurvi's POVAfter some of the rituals, Gautam said that he was very tired and wanted to sleep, but everyone laughed and started teasing him and the girls were also whispering naughty things to me making me blush even more.After some time I was sent to a room which was decorated beautifully with flower strings and aroma candles were lit there. There were rose petals scattered all over the place ... and were also on the bed in the shape of a heart.Oh God!!! It all was making things so obvious... my face was red as flower petals. I could not even imagine myself sitting there like it is shown in the movies so I kept standing there in the middle of the room. I was just too nervous. I knew that Gautam was really very excited about tonight. But I was just too shy. I was still trying to calm my racing heart when I heard the men talking. They were outside the room and we're teasing Gautam mercilessly, even asking him to use protection... Oh my God!! these men came without any filter in th
Gautam's POVWe reached there at the venue with Baraat. Uncle and aunty welcomed us. I got down the white wedding mare. Aunty welcomed me with an Aarti platter. Then did a few cute customs like holding the nose of the groom ( me ). After that, we came insideI had occasionally seen one custom in various weddings which was Feet washing ceremony of the groom. Once the groom entered the house of the bride on the wedding day, the bride's mother washes his feet with honey, curd, milk, ghee and sugarI personally never liked this custom. I didn't know what was the logic or the story behind it. But I refused to let aunty do this custom.I am just like her son... So it should be me who should be doing it not the other way around. She was as old as my mom and I could not let her wash my feet. So I refused to let her do that to me I washed my feet on my own. I didn't care if someone felt that I was trying to be some kind of reformer. I did what I felt was right.Then we were taken to the huge s
