Epilogue continuedMihir's POV As the sun set, we all gathered around a bonfire, roasting marshmallows and telling stories. The kids were fascinated by the tales of our past, and we enjoyed reliving those moments.My dad shared a story about how he used to get annoyed with Mom following him and her brother, and he even hated her. " Yes, you hated her so much that you introduced her to all of us as just a family friend. " Gautam uncle teased my parents. " And you dared to propose to her. " " I proposed just a family friend of yours, not your wife. It was your fault. "" Well, you should be thankful to them, as they were the reason we came closer." Maurvi Aunty said. " Oh, yes, I am still thankful to you for that as I got my Maurvi because of that. " Gautam uncle said placing his arm around her. " Yes, we remember how your love story got a kick here at this farmhouse, near that pond. " " Well, that pond is my favorite in the entire world. " Gautam uncle said. " Mine too. My Tam
Epilogue continued...Mihir's POV The weekend at the farmhouse was a much-needed break from our busy lives. It allowed us to reconnect, not just as a couple, but as a family. We laughed, we played, and we made new memories that would last a lifetime.The weekend was filled with more than just fun and games. Each morning, we woke up to the laughter of the children and the aroma of freshly cooked breakfast, courtesy of Tami and the other women, who seemed to have an endless supply of energy and love for feeding everyone.One evening, as the sun set, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, Tami and I took a quiet walk by the lake near the farmhouse. The gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and I couldn't resist tucking a stray lock behind her ear."I've missed this," she said softly, leaning into me. "Just us, alone.""I know," I replied, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "But I wouldn't trade our chaotic, beautiful family for anything."She smiled, looking up at me with those eyes
Maurvi's POVI unlocked the main door of my home when I reached home from my college and threw my bag and my car keys on the couch. I didn't even change my clothes and just ran towards my bed and buried my face in my pillow and cried for hours.I was really sick and tired of this issue now. My best friend Prachi somehow had a misunderstanding and since then she is not talking to me properly. I was feeling very frustrated because of that.I tried to explain everything... But she didn't fully believe me. She has always been very important to me. We have been together for the last 5 years since we took admission in our college. We have always been inseparable for the last 5 years.But since last month, things have changed. She started telling lies and also started avoiding me... I have tried to mend everything but it seems that she doesn't trust me.It all started when we joined a computer centre. We had a batch of around 10 students. We made some new friends... But one of them mistook m
Maurvi's POV" Shut up, I'll never let that happen. Just stay away from both of us or I will have to take help from my family against you. Let me tell you that if I use our contacts or if I tell my parents about all this, you will be in hot soup. I hope you still remember that there is a hell lot of difference between your and my family's social status, as you put it yourself. So beware and stay away. " I shouted at him and disconnected the call. I released my breath which I seemed to be holding. I took deep breaths as I suddenly felt that I was panting.I turned to go back to my house when I saw my neighbour Gautam standing there looking at me. There was no doubt that he heard what I said. Oh no..." Is everything alright? " He looked at me and asked seriously. I just nodded meekly." It doesn't look like that? You seem to be very upset. What is the matter? And don't even try to tell a lie as I heard most of what you said. I can easily guess what was said from the other side of the c
Maurvi's POVWe reached my computer centre just in time. I saw Prachi and Naman going inside the centre. I thanked Gautam and was about to get out of his car. When he stopped me." When will your class get over? " He asked with a smile." At 6 PM, but you don't have to come back to pick me up. I will take a cab. " I told him." No, I will be there. Now go inside and don't talk to them. Bye and take care. " He said and after saying bye to him, I went inside.The teacher was already in class. I asked the permission to enter and when he nodded, I went to take a seat.I was feeling very good from within. Gautam gave me a lift here and will come back to pick me up. I can get used to it very easily. I just loved the way he cared about me, the way he was listening carefully. I didn't realise that I was smiling like a fool." ....... Maurvi? Maurvi? "" Oh! yes sir? "" Are you in the class? Are you alright? I mean you came late and now you are not attentive in the class and on top of that yo
Gautam POVI was going out when I heard my neighbour Maurvi talking to someone on the phone. She is tall, cute, beautiful, witty, smart, innocent like a child kind of girl. She looked very tense. I wanted to know what was bothering her." Prachi... please try and understand..he is bad news.. he is not good. I can prove it to you. Please just stop right there. He even has a criminal record, however small it may be. Please stay away from him." She was literally pleading.She then reminded her friend that he proposed to Maurvi but she was not interested. Her friend said something and Maurvi was shocked to hear that." Oh come on Prachi... I used to tell you about each and everything if I ever had a crush on him, I would have told you. You know very well that I have a crush on someone. "Oh, so she has a crush on someone... Lucky guy..." Please Prachi trust me yaar... I just want you to be safe and happy. He was just a friendly batchmate to me. Nothing else." She was trying to make her f
Gautam's POV" It's ok. He would not dare to do that again. But you didn't have to say all that. " she said to me." No it was necessary Maurvi, he would not come near you. If he does just let me know. Did you notice that your friend was shocked and she is still looking in our direction? At least now she will not think that you have feelings for him. You just need to show some affection towards me. " I said and she nodded shyly.I drove to a nice and calming eating joint. I wanted to talk to her. I wanted her to be comfortable with the situation. I needed her help too." Maurvi...actually I am sorry, I should have told you about it earlier but I was sure you would have refused to accept my help and you know it was the easiest solution. I could understand your situation."She was very quiet, but she nodded." Can I tell you something? " I asked her. She looked at me and nodded." First you promise me that you will listen carefully and calmly," I said looking at her." Ok, I promise. No
Gautam's POVWe kept talking for a few more minutes but I felt that she avoided the topic of her crush. She asked me another question and asked me about my profession. Why was she avoiding that?We shared more information like our birthdays. List of favourites, movies, actors, food, songs etc. I didn't even realise but we were talking for more than an hour. I loved every minute of it.Maurvi's POVWe exchanged information about each other. He asked me if I ever had a crush on someone? I was dreading that he would ask it... I couldn't tell him that I had a huge crush on him... So I avoided the question and changed the topic. We talked for hours and I loved every minute of it.Then he asked me, " So tell me about your first kiss. "" What? Seriously? " my eyes were about to bulge out." Now what does that mean Maurvi? "" Are you all right? I mean are you really asking me that? "" So what is the problem? Oh ... You have.. never..? " He realised it but I got embarrassed." Have you neve
