Tami's POV

Dad talked to him and we came to know that he went to Surat early in the morning. Even Manik bhai was surprised as he didn't say anything to him as well.

Dad asked him to come back immediately but he said that he needed to learn a lot about the trade and as he was not going to attend the wedding, it would be better if he was out of the city.

Mom and Dad looked embarrassed that he left like that, but I assured them that it was okay, as he was already hurt, he would not like to see Gaurvi getting married to Shlok ji now.

" I must say that you are way too mature and understanding for your age. Mihir is lucky to have you as his life partner and we are lucky to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law. " Mom said and hugged me.

" Get ready, we are going to your home to help, your parents must need some extra help as the wedding is in five days. " Mom said and I nodded.

" Mom, some of Gauravi's things were packed in that bag, mom gave to me that night. I don't want her things, shall I return them to her? "

" Of course, beta. "  Mom said, I packed all her things in a bag.

We went to my home after breakfast to help them in preparation for the wedding.

As soon as I reached there, Gaurvi came and greeted Megha Aunty ( Mom) and then she took me to her room where she hugged me very tightly.

" Oh, Tami, how are you?? Are you happy now? How is everyone with you,  especially him? I am really feeling very guilty about the fact that you had to marry him like that. "  She said looking very uncomfortable.

" Take a deep breath and calm down! Everything is fine. He behaves well with me. Don't worry about me, I am absolutely fine. You tell me what happened on that evening? " I asked and we both told each other, what was going on in my life.

Well, I told only what could be told.

The shopping was going on in full swing and since the time was limited, all the responsibilities were delegated. I helped her choose her dresses and jewelry. Most of her clothes were ready as I didn't use them except for that one saree I wore on the first morning after my wedding and a night dress. So mainly we had to buy jewelry. Megha's mom took us to Dad's showroom and we selected the jewelry.

Megha Aunty asked the manager to pack some designs from the latest collection and some old traditional pieces for me. Though I reminded her of my request not to give her anything, she didn't listen to me and said that she would keep them for me for the time being.

We were still there when Damini Aunty also came there for shopping and together they bought jewellery for Gaurvi. She looked so happy and excited, it was good to see her excitement about getting married to the man he loved. My eyes got moist and I excused myself and went to the washroom.

Once we finished shopping there, Megha Aunty went to her showroom while we went back to our Jindal mansion. The preparations were going on and we didn't even know before it was dinner time.

Dad was so excited to see me there at home. He took me to his room to spend time with me. Mom came to ask me what I would like to have for dinner.

" Tami, it is almost dinner time, let me invite Mihir for dinner... " Dad said mom nodded.

" Dad, Don't please... He is not in Delhi."  

" What?? Where did he go? " He asked.

" To Surat. "

" All of a sudden?? " Mom asked.

" Yes, Manik bhai came last night, and then he got a call from there he needed to come back for something. But he got to know that Gaurvi and Shlok ji were getting married, so obviously he wanted to attend his wedding. So Mihir said that he could go there and solve the issue. "  I said hesitantly.

" That means, Mihir is not going to attend the wedding? "  Dad asked with a raised eyebrow.

" Dad, please try and understand his point of view as well. Even Mehul uncle got angry at his suggestion but I convinced him. Mihir is hurting,  he is trying to get normal but at least don't expect him to attend the wedding of the girl he has been in love with all his life. And even if he comes back to Delhi and attends the wedding under pressure, he will be frustrated and will retaliate. It will be too awkward for him, Gaurvi, and Shlok. So it is better, he is not here in the city. "  I said looking at both of them.
