Shahs' mansion...

Next morning.

As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow into the room, Tami stirred from her sleep. Blinking away the remnants of dreams, she realized with a jolt that today marked the beginning of her new life as a wife, albeit under unexpected circumstances.

Slowly, she turned her head to glance at the couch, where her newly wedded husband lay. He appeared still lost in slumber, his features softened by the morning light.

    Third person's POV Yet, despite his best efforts to distance himself, he couldn't help but notice the hurt in Tami's eyes, a reflection of his pain mirrored back at him. Guilt gnawed at him as he realized that he should not be rude to her, she could have refused to marry him. Maybe he should even see the depth of her sacrifice, stepping into the role of his bride out of duty even after he yelled at her and accused her that she was responsible for all this. She could have refused to get married after he threatened her that he would never accept her, but she chose to accept all this. Their interactions were strained, filled with awkward silences and tense moments as they navigated the shared space. Tami was a bit depressed and each passing glance served as a painful reminder of the chasm between them, a divide that seemed quite impossible to bridge for her at the moment, but she thought of giving it her best shot.She came out after getting freshened and then she opened the bag to fin

    Tami's POV Once I was ready, we both went out and touched the feet of Mehul uncle, he blessed me with a broad smile and then I touched Megha Aunty's feet. She kissed my forehead and gave me blessings and together they asked me not to do it again as I was just like Mahi to them.Some guests who were about to leave, bustled us, offering congratulations and well wishes, oblivious to the underlying tension between us. Forced to play the part of the happily married couple, we exchanged polite smiles and small talk and took their teasing, all the while I was acutely aware of the unspoken emotions lingering beneath the surface.Though we prepared to face the day ahead, the weight of our forced companionship hung heavy in the air, overshadowing any semblance of joy or celebration. Yet, amidst the turmoil, I saw a faint glimmer of hope, a silent acknowledgment that perhaps, in time, we would find solace in each other's company.But for now, we remained two strangers bound by circumstance, our

There are so many other good men... " " I wish she had not... " Mihir said and I felt very bad. " Mihir!! Stop it!! Stop being rude! She is your wife, you must respect her feelings, mind it, she is my daughter now and I will not tolerate any rude behavior with her. " Mehul uncle said firmly. We all had breakfast, and Megha Aunty told us that Siddh, Sri, and Kabir were coming to take me home for the pag phera, after breakfast, I smiled at that but was still thinking about how he must have reacted to the fact that Gaurvi left with Shlok ji.

    Tami's POV Mihir's arrival added another layer to the evening, his presence was both welcomed and tinged with discomfort at the same time. Mom and Chachi had prepared a lavish feast, a symphony of North Indian and Gujarati delicacies, as a testament to familial love and hospitality for him a warm gesture to show that he was a part of this family as well. He loved it, yet I could see that beneath the surface, his emotions simmered, memories of his lost love and the obligation to my family were also to be fulfilled.

    Tami's POV Coming out of the room I saw that he was sitting on one edge of the bed and looked into his phone. I didn't want to get in the bed as it seemed awkward. He must have been very uncomfortable on that couch. So I took out some of the stuff from my bag and deliberately kept some on the couch so that he wouldn't take the couch again. I wanted him to sleep on the bed so that I could take the couch without any arguments. So I thought of unpacking my bag and hanging my clothes in the wardrobe." Where can I keep my stuff? There is a lot of it, I need space." I said. " The left side of the walk-in wardrobe is mine, you can use the other side, there is a lot of space to accommodate all your stuff and more.
