Mihir's POV Her face was flushed, and I could feel Tami’s breath against my neck. She shuddered as if my every touch was sending electric shocks through her. When the music stopped again, we folded the paper once more. The space was so small now that we had to stand with our feet together. I lifted Tami slightly off the ground, holding her close.We continued to dance, our bodies pressed together. I could feel every beat of her heart, and my own heart was racing. I looked down at Tami, and for a moment, our eyes locked. There was something in her gaze that made me want her as if she were the air I needed to breathe.The paper kept shrinking, and soon it was just the two of us and Gaurvi and Shlok. My competitive side kicked in. I could not let them win. Tami looked excited that we had reached this point. She was looking at me shyly and blushing like a new bride. I lifted Tami higher, determined to win.I was shocked when she wrapped her legs around my waist, feeling a mix of shyness
Mihir's POV I went out to look for her and found her helping the chef in cooking, having tears in her eyes as she chopped onions. It twisted something inside me to see her like this, working so hard, obviously upset. She was too kind, too good to be doing this after how I have been treating her. "Tami, why are you doing this? Stop it, the chef will handle it," I said, trying to mask my concern. The chef looked relieved when I stepped in, probably fearing my temper.Tami’s response was calm but determined. She defended him immediately and said that she had to take care of the three pregnant women. I could see the stubbornness in her eyes. Her dedication was admirable, but it also made me feel guilty. Here she was, taking care of everyone, while I was drowning in my bitterness and behaving rudely. Her eyes were red from the onions, or maybe from crying, and I couldn't stand to see her like that.I tried to convince her to come with me but she told me to have lemonade and get ready.I
Mihir's POV " Why do you want Maurvi to work as your assistant? " He asked. " Oh, not Maurvi Aunty... Of course. " " Sandhya?? Vikram will kill you at the suggestion. They both are much more senior than you. " " Oh, please, I am not talking about her either. They are like my mom. Why would I want them to assist me? I want Tami... " I said and he burst out laughing." Ohhh! Tamiii... So you should have said the best intern dietician. Or you could say that you wanted Tami, your wife, or my daughter to assist you. You are such a bore, I swear... You are her husband, my son-in-law, you could have just said it directly. " He said and I smiled. " So, can I have her as my assistant? " " Why do you want her? If I think that you have a valid reason, I will allow you." He asked with a raised eyebrow. He was such a romantic devil. " Er... Umm. Sir, I want her because she is... a very... good intern, the best one." I said what came to my mind. " So?? Why can't Dr Rajvanshi have her
Tami's POV " How was your seminar and camp? " Dad asked me. " Very good, Dad," I said with a smile. " Great!! So now, I have news for you," he said. " What? " I asked. " You have been transferred to another department. " He said with a smile. " What why? I am fine working here." " I had to, we wanted a doctor quite desperately in our hospital and he agreed on the condition that he would get the best intern dietician in the hospital to assist him. It was a special request from a very skilled doctor, I could not refuse him. " " Who is it?? " " He is coming here, you can meet him." " But to what department, am I transferred to? " " Neurosurgery! " I heard a voice and turned to look at the man who had always set my heartbeat very high. " Mihir?? " " Yes, you are going to assist, Dr Mihir Shah, our neurosurgeon. " Dad said with a wink. " You joined here as... " I asked and he smiled. " How was your seminar and camp? " He asked. " Very good. But how... " " Thank you, uncl
Tami's POVIn the evening, when we returned home, Mom and Dad were not at home. The dining table was set beautifully, for two people, and dinner was laid on the table. Mihir's behavior continued to perplex me. He caught my hand and took me to the table then he even drew a chair for me. He served dinner, a delicious spread of my favorite dishes. It was a side of him I had never seen before, and it left me both intrigued and wary."What's gotten into you?" I finally asked as we sat on the couch, a comfortable silence between us.He looked at me, his expression unreadable. "What do you mean?""You're... different," I said, searching for the right words. "Is that a bad thing?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice."No, it's just... unexpected."He sighed, leaning back and running a hand through his hair. "Tami, I know I've been distant. And I know I've hurt you. But I'm trying to make amends. I want us to start fresh."His words sent a wave of conflicting emotions through me. I wa
Tami's POV Holding my hand he went out and stopped the car near a florist and ordered a beautiful bouquet of assorted flowers then he bought a bunch of some lilies and orchids. It was beautiful. " Why are you buying two of them? " I asked. " This one is for my wife..." He said and gave the second one to me. " Oh, you didn't need to..." " I wanted to. Don't you think they are beautiful? " " They are, thank you. " I said and he smiled. We reached the venue and went in with one of his hands resting on my back. We congratulated the new couple and joined the others. Sri and Sagarika came to us and they both said that I was looking very pretty. I just thanked them but I was getting embarrassed as his hand was still on my back. Finally, the party got over and we came back to the hospital and he had his OPD after that. I was there to help the patients with their diets. One of the patients who was operated on in the morning, had many food allergies so I was engrossed in making his di
Tami's POV I tried not to blush, feeling the sincerity in his words. It was hard to stay guarded when he was being so tender and affectionate. But a part of me still held back, wary of getting hurt again."Mihir, it is late and I am very tired," I said, managing to get out of his arms, and went to our room.I took out one of the new night suits that I bought after going to the seminar as I could not think of wearing the one of those that I had now, even when I was alone in my room. Changing into it I came back to the room. " Where did you get this one? " He asked as soon as I came out. " I bought a few like this after going to the seminar as I didn't have any sober, modest nightwear. " I said. " Good, you didn't wear one of those... nightwear there. But now you don't have to wear them. You looked very cute in one of those that Mohit uncle and mom gave you. " He said with a naughty smile. What had gone into him? " But I was not comfortable wearing them," I said and slept on the
Tami's POV " Please open the gift and see it, I want you to wear it tonight. " " Who forced you to buy this for me this time? Mom Dad? " I asked. " None! They don't even know about this. It was my idea, and I chose the dress for you with the help of your favorite Mohit uncle. " He said and I nodded. Why was he doing all that, if still thinks about her? Was it because we resemble a lot? I was saved from this unwanted awkward moment as his assistant doctor came in to report about something. I kept the gift aside and got to my work but my mind was occupied with him and what was going on in his mind. I tried using my talent to read people but for the first time in my life, I was confused about him. One reason was that he was very moody, almost bipolar. I could see that he was trying to go ahead with our relationship. But at the same time, I could not get it out of my mind that he was thinking about her all the time when he was making love... Well, having sex with me.I didn't real

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... Well, they should not be termed as clothes. He literally kept me locked in his arms. But I have no complaints at all.We enjoyed our honeymoon though it was a wastage of money, going abroad to be locked in our hotel room. 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. Everyone was gathered there near the poolside so we also joined them. Mehul and Megha were the last ones to come. All the
Gautam's POVI went to drop My Princess to school and asked her about Aarav. She said that he was in her class but not her friend though he came to the park to play with her. 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."

I didn't see any message, I came as I had to solve a problem. "" What problem? " Vikram asked with concern." Some guy in Gauravi's class called her yesterday, I want to warn him to stay away. " I said and he looked shocked." What?? Like seriously?? Are you out of your mind? Oh, please Gautam... They are just 4 year old. Chill. " Vikram said." But how dare he call my daughter? " Just then Mehul also came with Mihir

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
Gautam's POVI was so excited that at least one of the functions was celebrated where both families would be present... I was dying to be with my tomato. We all went for sangeet and Mehandi... I was excited to see her in front of me, where I would be able to share a moment with her.But all my dreams were crushed when Maurvi's dad took me aside and made me sit with his relatives.All my friends were there with their wives enjoying holding their hands, finding their names in their hands and feeding them with their own hands as the girls had Mehandi on hands.They all were clicking pictures together. All my idiot friends went to Maurvi and clicked pictures with her. Vikram even hugged her and clicked the photos. He sent them to me. I swear I would kill him.I wanted to have her in my arms and get lost to somewhere, where no one would irritate us. Everyone was teasing me and I was getting irritated.
