Misha's POV:

We all were sitting in the living room to see yesterday's pictures. I saw them already but the amount of happiness to see them with everyone and on a large TV screen was something different. Parth was connecting his phone with Tv, Varun was playing with Isha, everyone else looked excited to see the pictures, where as I was sitting at the corner with Janvi and siddhi with me. Last night, I made Siddhi stay here because I missed her so much, she was going to leave today and so till then I wished to spend some time with her. I remember when we both were kids, we always used to promise each other that no matter what happens, even after our marriage we will give enough time to each other, now that time is only limited to chatting online. Sometimes, when I compare my married life with my unmarried life, I myself don't believe how changed I'm now. I loved long drives, night outs, clubbing and now I don't do anything of them.

"It's connected." Parth announced as everyone got excited.

"You are going to face a lot of teasing now." Janvi said and laughed. yes was right, even she saw pictures with me yesterday and as what Aarav said, I have been looking at Varun in more than half of the pictures we clicked.

"Exactly." Siddhi said sharing a hi-five with Janvi.

"Stop, both of you and look at the pictures." I said as I saw the first picture displayed on the screen. It was obviously Isha's picture, she looked so cute in it with that tiara on her head, I don't know who made her wear it but it looked beautiful. All the other pictures were of Isha, holding her toys, giving her signature smile showing that two teeth in the front, being confused and then my most favourite picture of her was the one with the cream on her small nose. The pictures went further until they stopped at a picture of me, Varun and Isha. get ready misha.

"This was your signature pose yesterday." One of Varun's cousin teased me.

"Exactly Bhabhi, in almost every picture you were looking at him, what were you? awestruck?" Another one asked. guys stop.

"Of course, she was awestruck, just look at the amount of love she has in her eyes every time she looks at him."

"Misha, is there any picture, where you are not looking at him?"

"Wow, you both look so cute here."

"I wish I had someone who loved me as Misha Bhabhi loves Varun."

please stop before I cheeks explode because of continuous blushing.

I was very embarrassed but still had the urge to look at Varun to see his reaction, after all the comments made, I'm sure he had a reaction. I slowly glanced to the place where he was sitting and found him looking at the picture on the screen.

"She is still blushing." Dadi's sister commented. I gestured Parth to skip these pictures and he did as what I said. Rest were family pictures and I was happy that no one is going to tease me again so I was much relaxed until I saw a picture of us again, the only difference here was, this time it was not me but Varun, who was looking at me. why I didn't saw this picture yesterday?

"Thank god, there's at least one picture were you are not looking at him." Varun's cousin teased me again.

"See, even he was looking at you and you were crying at it was only you." Janvi said.

"So? Of course it was only me who was looking at me, I always make so many efforts to look good but nothing catches his attention. Moreover, the way I was looking at him screamed 'love' unlike him, I don't know what he was thinking and talking about now, your brother didn't had any reaction even after all the teasing I got because of him." I replied as both Janvi and Siddhi started laughing.

"What did he do?" Janvi asked obviously because she wanted to defend her brother.

"Why he has to look so good always? Frankly speaking, yesterday it was not  his looks but his heart, which made me love him more."

"He really is a good person." Siddhi said.

"I know, my choice after all." I said proudly and looked back at the screen.

By evening all the relatives went back to their home, I was so tired after all the cleaning work I had to do and felt really sleepy, however it was too early for me to go and sleep considering that fact that I can't sleep at night, it's always 2 or 3 in the clock when I sleep, also has Dadi and her sister were in home, I can't go and sleep at this time, they call me every time they need something.

I was waiting for Karthik to come and get the designs from me which I somehow completed this afternoon after the lunch. Mom was taking care of Isha and so I was sitting in the living room looking blankly at the clock. Soon I heard the bell ring, I thought it was Karthik, and so I happily went and opened the door but it was Varun standing there.

"Were you expecting someone else?" He asked. well, I was but I guess I shouldn't tell you, I don't want you to stop talking with me again.

"Where were you? I was searching for you." I diverted the topic.

"Why?"

"Dadi was asking about you." I replied.

"Ok." he said and went inside. I followed him and sat on the couch. karthik, where are you? I really wanted to go back to my room but then I knew that I won't back downstairs again, so I was not going there. I made a call to him and he replied that he will be here in two minutes. As soon as I heard the bell ring, I opened the door and saw my annoying best friend.

"What?" He asked as I kept looking at him.

"I'm tired." I said as I took hold of his arm and rested my head on his shoulder as we walked further.

"Misha, you aren't in your parents house, what if your in-laws see you like this?" He questioned. He was right, I'm not in my parents home. Mom and dad knew that we are only best friends and so they never doubted on us but I can't say the same thing here, I don't think anyone will have problem other than Dadi and her sister. The relation I have with Karthik is really very special for me, we are not only each others friends but secret keeper, personal photographer, punching bag and cushion as well.

"You are right." I said and left his hand.

"Sit, I will go and bring the papers." I said and turned to go upstairs only to see Varun standing there looking at me. did he saw us earlier? man, now he will definitely stop talking to me.

I went to my room, got the papers and then handed them to Karthik.

"Why is that man so angry always?" He asked.

"Shut up, his name is Varun."

"and I don't know, why he is so angry."  I replied. I was a bit tensed to think that he is going to stop talking to me again.

"Anyway, I will leave now, even I'm really tired today." He said and got up to leave.

"Bye." I said to him as he sat on his bike and drove away. Without wasting any time I went to my room and sat on the bed, I rested my head on the headboard and within no seconds, I remembered Varun's face when he saw me going upstairs. what must have made him angry? He can't be jealous if he doesn't feel anything about me. I decided to talk with him and there was only one reason I had to do that, it was giving him his credit card back. I checked myself in the mirror and went to his room, after two knocks, I slowly opened the door.
He smiled as he saw him entering.

"Are you busy?" I asked as he shook his head.

"Ok. Your card." I said and passed him his card. He looked like he was thinking about something but then took it from me.

"Bye." I said and began to leave. I was here to talk with him, I don't know exactly what I wanted to talk but I wanted to do that however as always, I was not able too.

"Misha." He called making me stop then and there. is he going to talk? I immediately turned around.

"Thank you so much for everything you did yesterday, I can't describe in words how happy I'm."

yes, happiness suits you, only if you try to understand that, you will be happy forever.

"I'm sorry for always calling you a selfish person, you aren't! Also I'm sorry again for everything I did to you in the start. I was so mean to you and yet you always cared for me and my family like they are yours. Thank you is surely not enough but if I have to I will say it thousands of times, Thank you so much."

"Talking about this marriage, You are really a good person and I don't wish to give you any false hopes, I'm sorry I'm hurting you. This marriage is something I never wanted to happen, Every day I hear someone telling me the amount of love you have for me and it hurts me even more to know that I wasted your life."

"I'm sorry, I can't forget Tanvi ever, it was only her I loved and it is only her that I still love, I can't forget her ever, I can't give her place to anyone." He said making my heartache.

"I don't know what we are going to do next but we will definitely find a solution to that, I'm really sorry for everything." he said as he opened his heart in Front of me for the first time. I was sad after everything he said but somewhere I was happy that at least he considers me something that he is willing to share his thoughts with me.

"I know you since our Highschool days Varun and you won't believe me but I always knew about your relation with Tanvi, I agree I was very jealous of her, not only her but with her girl I saw with you, still this stupid heart had undying love for you. During those days, I never expected anything other than friendship with you, I always wanted to be your friend but I never got that chance, and now, if not love, can I at least get to be your friend?" I asked with a very heavy heart, I was on the verge of tears after everything he said and was trying very hard to control myself.

"Friends?" he immediately asked extending his hand towards me.

"Friends." I said as I gave my hand in his for a handshake.

Tanvi is and will always be the person you loved, no one is going to take her place, I never asked you to forget her, I'm just asking a little love from you but I guess, I was never meant to get that.

"I will leave now." I said and was about to leave his room but then I remembered the reason why I actually came here.

"And Varun." I called him turning around.

"Karthik is engaged and going to get married after two months." I said and went out without waiting for his reply.
