*Tajwar Pov* “I thought you were angry yesterday.” I mumbled frowning when I saw her smiling normally and even giving me the carriage. “Yes! I shouldn’t have talked like that, but I don’t know why I did. And I was not angry, but just a little hurt.” She said smiling while rubbing her hands to the Saree end. “Like I said you will not get anything in this marriage, and it is better if you don’t expect from me anything.” I commented before taking a step to leave the room. “You are being kinder than I thought you would be after the first day of marriage. So, it will be fine.” Her words made me still in my stance to shout at her asking what should I exactly say to make her understand, but I calmly left the room without saying a word. “Are you still going to go to the office and return by the same timings like everyday, even after all these days of marriage?” I heard Mom’s voice when I reached the main door. “What did you expect, Mom? That I will magically change my timings just becau
*Mridula Pov* “You are here, Mrdiula? Everyone is searching for you, but I asked them to finish their breakfast.” I heard a very familiar voice, but I didn’t turn around. I am still feeling the shock knowing the truth which was hidden from me by everyone and mainly by two people whom I trust more than anyone. “What happened, best friend?” he asked, sitting beside me on the bench in the garden. “Am I?” I asked back before glancing at him. “What?” he asked, frowning. “Am I really your best friend?” I asked him again to which he laughed. “Of course! What did you ask me that question?” he asked after stopping his laugh. “Best friends are not allowed to hide anything from each other. I never hid anything but you hid so much from me, which relates to my whole life.” I replied in a normal tone, and he suddenly looked guilty. “I know! I should have told you everything, but mom made me promise and said Bhai will not like it two years back. And now she just didn’t want you to know whil
*Mridula Pov* “It is getting late. Why don’t you go and have your dinner?” I asked, turning towards Dileep, who is getting down from the bed. “You will not eat with us again today?” He asked frowning. “Save a seat for me beside you for tomorrow’s breakfast.” I replied, smiling and he grinned before walking away from me and reached his brother. “How are you Bhai?” he asked Tajwar. “I need to freshen up.” That’s all Tajwar replied, hearing which Dileep sighed before walking away. “He really cares for you. Not only him, but everyone cares for you, Tajwar.” I said before he could say anything else when he opened his mouth. “I don’t think they do. Now, what was he doing here in my room?” he asked, moving towards the cupboard before removing the tie. “He was here to apologize, and it was my mistake as I shifted back into this room.” I replied, getting down and hoped he will feel a little something about seeing me in someone else’s arms but all he is irritated was for having Dileep i
*Mridula Pov* Within a few seconds, I felt him stepping back and I slowly opened my eyes to see him looking down before staring at me for a second and walked outside the room moving around me. While I just stood there thinking and feeling what just occurred and how affected I got by that thing. I came out of my thoughts and feelings when I heard a thunder outside. I looked around to find that he is still not in the room and immediately walked outside thinking he must be in the corridor or somewhere in the house. “Aunty?” I asked in a surprised tone when I saw her pacing in the living room. “Did he tell you where he was going at this time? I was asking him, but he didn’t stop and just walked outside the house and left, but didn’t take his car.” She replied frantically. “No! He will be fine.” I said, assuring her and moved near to her. “I hope so! Dileep crossed the line today, and I hope the change in Tajwar didn’t go back to its way like it never happened.” she mumbled holding
*Tajwar Pov* “How are you feeling, Tajwar?” I heard Mom’s voice, but didn’t glance at her and just continued to check my file. “He is fine, Aunty.” I heard the reply from Mridula, who seems to just enter the room, and I didn’t glance even at her. “I was not asking you.” Mom said in a hard tone, and I looked up to see Mridula’s widened stare. “I was not asking you to enter this room.” I said, staring at Mom, and she immediately took a step back. “Look, I know you hate me for threatening you to get married, but I was thinking about your well being.” She said sighing, but I didn’t utter a single word regarding it. “After he finishes his food come downstairs, there is some work for you to do.” she added looking at Mridula before going away. “Why are you so sad about her behavior?” I asked her when she continued to stare at the door with a sad look. “Because she was like a mom to me until all this that happened.” she replied before moving near to me and placed the food. “Wow! I di
*Tajwar Pov* “Look…” I started saying finally, when she successfully ignored me for the whole day while I left for the office and even after returning from it. “Look, look, look! I shouldn’t use hey, but he can use anything he wants to.” She started cutting me off mumbling to herself while arranging the bed as we already had our food separately with her having it in the dining area and me in the room. “Are you trying to talk in your head?” I asked, folding my hands while standing behind her. “How does he know about that?” I again heard her voice, and then she shook her head before continuing to do her work. “Because you are talking outside.” I replied and she immediately turned around only to see me behind her because of which she took a step back. However, with that she began to fall on the bed, but held my hand in support. In the end, we both fell on the bed together as I didn’t expect her to hold me and missed my step. “What the hell!” I shouted while she held onto me tightl
*Mridula Pov* I can really do it! I thought taking a deep breath and entered the room holding the carriage while he is just getting ready for the office. “Can I ask you something?” I asked slowly when he walked near me to take the lunch and breakfast. “Sure!” He replied, still with his hand forward with the box. “Ok! You said we will see when I suggested the plan yesterday right? Can you try to return home soon today? I mean ten o'clock is really late.” I said and waited for his denial or anything. “We will see. Now, I am getting late.” He said taking the lunch and walked outside the room. We will see? I groaned and just started walking outside following him to just start the work I stopped in the garden after talking to Dileep, who surprisingly didn’t come home yesterday night making Aunty worry. “What are you doing?” Aunty asked and I got startled, making my gaze moved away from the door. “I was waiting for him.” I replied, frowning and glanced at the door again while adjust
*Mridula Pov* The decision is so bad! I thought after two days when I miss the ease we once formed disappeared between us, and we are just being to ourselves not exchanging a single word appropriately. “Why are we not talking to each other properly?” I asked directly not being able to bear the silence anymore and also the awkwardness. “Let’s talk!” he said and glanced up from his plate. “I… thanks for coming home early.” I mumbled, trying to stare at his face without looking away. “I always follow a schedule. When I start doing something one day, I do it from that day onwards continuously unless there is a need to change it again.” he explained making me frown. “Why are you talking stiffly?” I asked, shaking my head not getting any reason behind it. “Why are you looking away whenever you say something?” he asked back and I wish I didn’t question him in the first place. “I don’t know! I feel the decision we took is a wrong one.” I replied honestly. “It is not wrong when you ar
