Tami's POV
" Please open the gift and see it, I want you to wear it tonight. "
" Who forced you to buy this for me this time? Mom Dad? " I asked.
" None! They don't even know about this. It was my idea, and I chose the dress for you with the help of your favorite Mohit uncle. " He said and I nodded.
Why was he doing all that if he still thinks about her?
Was it because we resemble a lot?
I was saved from this unwanted awkward moment as his assistant doctor came in to report something. I kept the gift aside and got to my work but my mind was occupied with him and what was going on in his mind. I tried using my talent to read people but for the first time in my life, I was confused about him. One reason was that he was very moody, almost bipolar.
I could see that he was trying to go ahead with our relationship. But at the same time, I could not get it out of my mind that he was thinking about her all the time when he was making love... Well, having sex with me.
I didn't realize that I was still looking at him till he looked up from his paperwork and caught me staring at him. I quickly looked away, but not before I saw the amused smile on his face.
"Something on your mind?" he asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Just... thinking," I replied, feeling my cheeks heat up.
"Care to share?" he prodded gently.
I hesitated, unsure of how to articulate the jumble of emotions swirling inside me. "I was just wondering why you're doing all this."
"Because I want you to know that I care," he said simply. "And because now I want us to have a real marriage, not just one of convenience." He said looking into my eyes.
His words hung in the air, and I felt a surge of emotions-hope, fear, and a tentative sense of longing.
" But you said that you would never..."
Standing up from his chair and walking over to me, he said, "I know what I said; I am feeling bad for behaving that way."
His closeness was intoxicating, and I felt a shiver of anticipation as he reached out and gently cupped my face in his hands.
"Tami, I want to spend my life with you., he whispered, his breath felt warm against my skin.
His words were like a balm to my wounded heart, and I felt a tear slip down my cheek. Mihir wiped it away with his thumb, his touch tender and reassuring.
" After what happened that day... I mean, I don't know..."
"That's Okay, let's take small steps," he said softly. "We'll take it one day at a time."
" Hmmm!"
Just then my phone started ringing, my mom was calling me as Sandhya aunty and mom wanted me to come and meet me.
" Ji, I am coming right away. " I said and disconnected the call.
" What happened? " Mihir asked. I told him and he nodded. I went to meet Sandhya aunty as both she and my mom were waiting for me there. I greeted her and hugged Mom.
" Beta, we are not familiar with this intermittent fasting, can you please help us understand it well? " Aunty said.
" Sure. " I said and started explaining everything.
"Great! Thanks for updating us on this; please share some of the millet recipes with us as well." She said and I nodded with a smile.
" So, beta, how is the married life?" She asked.
" Ji, good. "
" You got married so out of the blue, we all were surprised to know about it. But now I would like to invite both of you over the dinner. I will ask Vikram to invite Mihir. How about today? " Aunty asked.
" Aunty, we already have a plan today, he is taking me..." I was saying when all of a sudden, I started feeling lightheaded, and suddenly everything blacked out.
*********
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on the bed in the best room in our hospital. The familiar surroundings should have comforted me, but seeing my parents' tense faces only heightened my anxiety. Just then, a nurse entered with a report from the pathology department and handed it to Dad.
Dad read the report immediately, his expression turning emotional. His eyes welled up with tears, and he looked at me with a mix of emotions that I couldn't quite decipher.
"What? Gautam, say something!" Mom urged, her voice trembling. Dad silently handed the report to her. She glanced at it and immediately broke into a radiant smile before hugging me tightly.
"Congratulations, my little angel! You're going to have a cute little angel of your own soon," she announced. Her words echoed in my ears, leaving me in shock.
"What? Mom, where is Mihir?" I asked, my voice shaky.
"Oh, he was here with us, but an emergency case came up, and he had to go for surgery. Let me call the senior gynecologist to do your check-up," Dad said, his excitement barely contained. Mom nodded in agreement.
"Mihir will be so happy to hear this," Mom added, but I wasn't so sure.
"Maurvi, call the Shahs and ask them to come here," Dad said excitedly.
"Mom, Dad! Stop, please let Mihir come first."
"Beta, he will come as soon as the surgery is over. But we need to tell Megha about it. Since we know the good news, we must share it with them," Mom insisted, dialing Megha Aunty's number to share the news.
"They are coming," Mom said with excitement, informing Chachi and Dadi as well.
Within five minutes, Chachu, Chachi, and Sri were in the room. They all looked happy, their faces glowing with joy. Siddh, my brother, was in the OPD at that time, so he came as soon as he could. He looked happy too, but there was a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
"How are you feeling, Tami? Are you happy?" he asked gently. I nodded, though my mind was still reeling from the news. Just then, Mihir's parents entered, their faces beaming with joy. They hugged me tightly and showered me with blessings. They were so excited talking about the coming child.
