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. His eyes were searching for someone who was obviously not here and it caused pain to him and me as well.

Mom and Chachi were serving food on his plate continuously and Mihir savored each dish with the gusto of a true foodie, but still at the same time his heart weighed heavy with unresolved emotions.

    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. But don't put your things on my side. " "Thanks. " I said. As I carefully unpacked my belongings in our new shared space, I couldn't shake off the awkwardness that hung in the air like a heavy cloud. His words stung, reminding me of the unconventional circumstances that led

    Tami's POV " I know you will not trust me, as you have decided to think the worst about me. But I really didn't order them, maybe uncle sent the wrong box by mistake. " I said. " Oh please, stop lying! " He said and just then we saw a card that had fallen off the box. I picked it up and read it. Hello sweetheart, I saw you got a lot of dresses of all kinds but didn't take any nice nightwear, maybe you were feeling shy about getting them from me, but I am very cool about it as it is my profession and you are just like my daughters and my niece Myra.

So I am sending some very cute and a bit naughty nightwear for you as these were a part of the bridal collection. Take them as a gift from me. Do wear them for him.

    Tami's POV Rushing to the washroom, I locked the door and smiled at the thought that maybe, he cared for me, at least. I thought of getting ready before he was up so that there were no more awkward moments. Taking a quick shower, I came out wearing a beautiful suit that my Mom had bought for me. I got ready, wearing basic jewelry, bindi, bangles, and light make-up. He was still sleeping so I went downstairs to greet Uncle and Aunty... Oh, I mean my new set of mom and dad. I saw them having tea near the lawn, I went there and greeted them. Their faces lit up looking at me. Uncle asked me to sit. " Have tea, beta. " Mom asked. " I don't drink tea, Mom. " I shook my head and said. " Tell me about your hobbies, preferences, etc," she asked me and I told her about my passions and hobbies. " Great!! So you are going to join the hospital? " Dad asked.

He had been in love with Gaurvi for so long that he was not being his normal self. It will take time... " I said, mom looked at me with so much love that l wanted to cry while holding her. Dad was looking at me with his eyes wide open and his jaw dropped. " Are you for real, Beta? Megha, she is definitely the best girl in the world for our idiot son. She is way more mature than him or her sister Gaurvi. " He asked me and said to Mom, she just nodded with a big smile.

As soon as I closed the door of his car, he drove without a single word. He was driving very fast and I was really worried but I didn't want to instigate him even more by saying anything.

    Tami's POV " I got married due to some reasons but my fiance eloped at the last minute so I had to get married to her younger sister. Is that a valid reason, I don't want her as my wife." He explained bitterly and I felt so humiliated by the way he described everything. " Did her family keep you in the dark and replace the bride without your and your family's consent? If yes, then your wedding can be declared null and void. " the lawyer said. " No, they did inform us, and my mom and I knew about it." He said tears were brimming in my eyes, but I was determined not to shed one single tear. " Then I am sorry, the marriage is valid and you need to wait for 6 months to file a divorce. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, obtaining a divorce within the first six months is not feasible," the lawyer interjected, his voice tinged with solemnity. "Moreover, there must be valid grounds for such a petition... And in this case, it's not there." He replied. " Okay, got it! One more thing, You know

And now when I was married to him and wanted to give him all the love he deserved, he wanted to divorce me. " Say something!! " He said. " What do you want me to say? " I asked. " Give at least some reaction. " He said and I exhaled and looked at him. " What?? " He was getting annoyed. " You seem to know everything that is going on in my mind, every nasty thing that I plan then go ahead and guess what is going on in my mind. Why do you need a confirmation? Think whatever you want. I don't care if you divorce me right now, the day after, after 6 or 9 months. " But I will divorce you, you can't get what you want if I didn't get what I wanted." He reminded me. " Great!! Why don't you say that in front of your family? " I said with a smil
