"They made her your daughter-in-law without your will and now they are showing off as if she is damn precious"

bua ji's muffled voice could be heard as she was talking to dadi

" You know Ashwini i am old no one wants my opinion now" dadi said sulking back in her seat

"If you have chosen someone for vedant i am sure she would have been a lot better than her at least not someone's ex" bua ji added sipping on her lemonade

"look how shameless she seems dancing with her devars like that" a middle aged women added in their conversation

dadi was fuming in anger no one has dared in their entire life to say something about her family her grudge for mihika seems to get heighten

Here mihika was finally feeling herself after all those happenings in her life she was trying to be better

to lighten her mood and to make herself more comfortable the two brother-in-law of hers decided to take her to the dance floor as all the cousins joined them

krishiv was twirling her around with the beats of the music and ritvik was fighting with krishiv for her sister like bhabhi's attention mihika's light chuckle could be heard indicating she was feeling happy

ruhi was rooting for them as she was not allowed to dance as she was pregnant seeing mihika happy she also felt pleasure mihika was like a sister and best friend to all of them

"Bhabhi has her devars moving around her little fingers" ishani said joining them

"she's mine also move boys" she added holding mihika's hand and grooving on the music

"Aree maine toh kuch logon ko bolte hue bhi suna tha ki isne apni pati ko jhuka diya apne saamne" the same middle aged woman said to dadi smirking internally

(I overheard some people saying that she made her husband kneel down in front of her)

dadi's anger was heightened and she was shooting daggers at mihika waiting for the moment when she wouldn't be surrounded with anyone

soon she found the right moment as mihika walked to fetch a water bottle for herself away from everyone's gaze

Mihika gulped down almost the entire bottle to quench her thirst, an uneasy feeling creeping inside her as if she was being watched she turned around and saw no one she frowned and soon she heard muffled voices of someone arguing

***

"what were you up to?" vedant's stern voice sent down a shiver to dadi's spine

"vedant she is your dadi have some respect" bua ji said in a authorative tone

"shut up don't tell me what to do i remember what you said about my wife" vedant said clenching his jaw in anger

"what were you up to huh?" vedant asked glaring right into dadi's eyes

"Listen to me one last time! Don't ever dare to hurt my wife in any sense" vedant said warning her looking straight into her eyes

"Tattoo it in your brain! The whole mansion you move around with such authority is mine! and my wife owns everything which is mine so think about every word you say to her" he added

he turned when he heard something crashing with the floor mihika was standing there as she broke down a vase looking at them confused

"is everything fine?" she asked walking towards him

he fixed his attire and moved towards her with a smile

"yes biwi what are you doing here? are you tired? do you want to rest?" he asked giving her his handkerchief

"No, i heard someone shouting so i just came to check" she said wiping her lips a little

"everything's fine biwi now let's go everyone must be waiting for us" he said moving her around and walking forward leaving fuming dadi and bua ji behind

***

the hall was filled with cheers and applauses as the couple approached the hall the lights went dim and mihika felt him slipping away from her in the darkness

the spotlight focused on him revealing a guitar in his hand as he sat on a chair he looked at her with pure admiration

his fingers started strumming on the guitar as he hummed the song

Zara Si dil mein de jagah tu

Zara sa apna le bana

he stood up and moved towards her she was purely awestruck and surprised by his singing skills

he walked around singing admiring the true beauty she was he felt his heart flutter with emotions as he admired the only girl his heart ever belonged to he finally felt peace as she was his now

Zara sa khwabon mein saja tu

Zara sa yaadon mein basa

In the moment he realised all he wanted was her to stay by his side forever

He held her hand pulling her closer to him as he wrapped his hand around her waist her hands automatically wrapped around his neck, her honey brown eyes locked with his hazel brown ones

He twirled her around and kneeled down in front of her holding her hand kissing it he sang alongside

Main tere main tere Kadmon mein rakh

du yeh jahaan Mera ishq deewangi

Her happiness knew no bound her heart fluttered with joy she was filled with pure admiration and respect for her husband

Hai nahi hai nahi aashiq koi mujhsa tera

Tu mere liye bandagi

their moves synced while he sang out his heart to her wife both closed their eyes while moving along with the music

his hand rested on her waist holding her closer to him that even air couldn't pass their close proximity

he attached his forehead with hers as her hands rested around his neck their heartbeat syncing together in the symphony of their growing feelings towards each other

Main chahun tujhko meri jaan bepanaah

Fida hoon tujhpe meri jaan bepanaah

everyone rooted for them while their mothers prayed to keep all the evil eyes off their children

"You both were amazing and bhai i didn't knew you could sing" ishani said admiring her bhai and bhabhi

"she knew that's what matters" he said looking at her wife and she smiled remembering something

"Joru ka gulam ban gya hai pura" chachu said playfully hitting his shoulder and he smiled

"Apni biwi ka gulam banne main kaisi sharam" he said looking towards her while she was a blushing mess
