Mihir's POV Mom and Tami were still getting ready when her family arrived. Dad and I welcomed them. Gautam uncle had called half an hour back saying that they had a guest at their home, a very fast friend of Siddh, so it would be awkward for them to leave him behind, so Siddh would not come, but Dad asked uncle to bring his friend as well, of course. I greeted them and they blessed me. Just then I saw Siddh coming with Sri and a very handsome man. He looked somewhat familiar but I was sure that I didn't know him. They all greeted us and Uncle introduced that man to Dad and me as Dr. Parshav Rajvanshi. He was the son of Siddharth uncle's best friend Dr. Parth Rajvanshi. And then he introduced Dad as the diamond king of the country and me as Dr. Mihir Shah, the best Neurosurgeon of their hospital, and his son-in-law. We greeted each other. " So we are going to work at the same place now. " He said. " Well, I would have loved that, but I have to join my dad's business, he is not ke
Mihir's POV " Hot!!! " Roohi said all of a sudden, standing beside me. " Too Hot!! " Vihan said giving stress on the word, too. " Hunh?? " I looked at him as O was preoccupied and did not pay attention to what they were talking about. " I am saying she is really hot! I never realized she was so beautiful, or I would have... " Both I and Roohi looked at him and he stopped in the middle of the sentence. " She is your friend's sister. " Roohi reminded him. " Oh, please, as it is Ron, Raj, Shlok broke that barrier already. " Vihan argued. " That is a separate group... How can you say that about Tami? She is Gauravi's sister and above all, Mihir's wife now. " Roohi said. " By the way, why were you calling her hot? Are you by any chance into girls? Oh, yes... It could be. " He said looking shocked. " I mean you are not affected by my charm... That is unusual. " He said. " Vihan!!! You are such an idiot!! I was referring to those men as hot!! Awww... Siddh and Parshav. Both ar
Mihir's POV I went there and joined the group and I don't know why, but I placed an arm around her waist. She turned to look at me immediately as she was shocked. Well, I was shocked at that. " Hey, man, you are really lucky. I have known her since childhood, never knew she would become such a knockout beauty or I would have proposed to her by now. " He said. I just nodded with a smile. Why didn't you propose to her earlier, then I would not have had to marry her. " ...Anyway, maybe in my next life. You got lucky this time." He was saying. Why wait for the next life, I will divorce her soon and you can get her in this life as well. But the very next moment I felt something that I didn't understand but I was feeling uncomfortable.It was familiar as well as a very alien feeling... but it was not possible. " Excuse us, her dad is waiting to be with his daughter. " I said held her hand and brought her to where our parents were. Uncle hugged her and placed an arm around her shou
Mihir's POV She has just become like Ron. Naughty. " Do you really want me to answer that? " I asked. " I want you to dance with me. " She said pulling me back. " Ron, dance with your wife. " I said. " I want to, but she wants to dance with you. Fine, since you are dancing with my wife, I will dance with yours. " He said and asked Tami. She smiled and nodded. The music started and it was a fast one so we were dancing and I liked dancing with Mahi. But she smiled, and deliberately stepped on my feet as she used to do when we were children and we both smiled recalling old times. She kept doing it while I was scolding her for that though we both were smiling. But the music changed all of a sudden, Ron brought Tami near us while dancing and pulled Mahi in his arms and pushed Tami towards me saying, " I need to dance with my wife on this romantic one, " He said and came to a hit closer and whispered, " I am taking my wife away, take care of yours before someone else asks her." I lo
Tami's POV An hour ago... My heart pounded in my chest as I tried to maintain a calm exterior. I could feel the soft fabric of my dress swishing around my legs, a modern creation with a hint of classic elegance, designed to make an impression. I was not sure about the dress considering Mihir's response to my nightwear that night. But mom insisted that I must wear it as he got them for me. Wearing the dress, as I turned slightly, I caught sight of my reflection in a mirror and noticed the back of my dress. It was almost completely backless, a daring choice for me.The dress hugged my curves in all the right places, accentuating my figure far more than I was used to. The deep back revealed smooth skin framed by shimmering lace, and the jewelry Mihir had given me, set off the outfit perfectly. The diamonds caught the light and cast a soft, ethereal glow around me. I felt a surge of confidence mixed with a touch of vulnerability. I wanted to appear strong and beautiful, to catch Mihir
Tami's POV As the evening progressed, I did my best to engage with everyone around me, but my thoughts kept returning to Mihir. I could feel his eyes on me intermittently, and every glance he stole made my heart race a little faster. I wanted to understand what he was thinking if he saw me differently tonight.I mingled with the guests, accepting their compliments with a gracious smile, but my mind was always on Mihir. He was polite, always maintaining a composed demeanor, but there was a tension between us that I couldn’t ignore. It was as if he was fighting some internal battle, one that I desperately wanted to be a part of. I longed to ease his pain and show him that I could be more than just his second choice.“Dressed to kill! I am floored. Where were you hiding till now?” Parshav exclaimed, making me blush. I thanked him shyly, feeling the warmth creep up my cheeks." I hope Jiju is impressed and floored. As it is the exact reason why she is dressed to kill " Sri said. Everyon
Tami's POV "Jiju, there is no one else, will you please dance with me?" Sri asked him after the dance ended. He couldn't refuse, and they went to the dance floor together. Vihan had been flirting with me, making me smile, but it was Mihir I wanted to be close to.Finally, Mahi and Ron Jiju managed to get him to dance with me. My heartbeat increased. As we danced, I felt a mixture of emotions. His hands on my waist sent shivers through me, and I couldn't help but feel every touch intensely. It was like my body was tuned to his, every movement making my heart race.We danced closely, and I could feel his breath on my skin. His presence was overwhelming, and I couldn't help but shudder every time he pulled me closer. It was confusing, this mix of longing and frustration. I loved him, but he seemed so distant, so conflicted." Thanks for the gifts," I said. “You look... different tonight,” he said, his voice low and steady.I looked up into his eyes, trying to gauge his mood. “Is that
Mihir's POV I looked around and saw that all the pictures of Gaurvi were replaced with Tami's pictures. Who did that?And when? Obviously, she must have done that. I didn't bother to look at the glass shards on the floor; my eyes were instead fixed on the countless pictures of Tami adorning the walls of the room. Each one felt like a slap in the face, a painful reminder that his world was being forcibly rearranged against my will."How can you even ask that? Of course, I am hurt, but how does it matter to anyone?" My voice was sharp, cutting through the air with the bitterness of my resentment. How could she not understand the depth of my agony? Or perhaps she did, and that made her insistence on this charade of marriage even worse.Tami looked bewildered. "What happened all of a sudden?""Are you blind? Can't you see?" I gestured angrily at the pictures around the room. I watched as Tami's eyes widened in shock, taking in the sight of her own images plastered everywhere, replacin
