*Tajwar Pov*

"You were right!" the whisper just stilled into the air, making the sounds of the ocean to disappear too along with everything.

"I know!" she whispered back, and I shook my head before turning around to stare at her.

"I am sorry about the before words." I said and she slowly nodded before walking near to me.

"It is ok! I was the one who asked you to do it." She said shrugging it off.

"So, she is being distant near her feelings only to me, but not for all of you. And I must have hurt her with my words many times from the statements she gave." I said remembering her outburst.

"Yes! So, now will you talk to her directly and not do another stupid stunt?" Amrin asked raising her eyebrow.

I glanced at her while she is walking away and thought about the words I just uttered. I shook my head before calling her.

"Wait, Amrin!" I said, and she stopped before turning around.

"I know I am being more than rude to you, but I just don't know you. Ask even Dileep regarding my behavior with him before, a few months." I slowly explained, and she nodded.

"Ok! But what changed your rude behavior with them?" she asked frowning.

"Mridula!" I replied, shaking my head.

"Then what changed your rude behavior with me?" she asked again.

"Mridula!" I repeated my reply and she slowly nodded.

"I need your help to find out why she is being so distant from all of us." I added, and she frowned at me.

"She is kind of normal with us but seems to be distant only with you." She said and this time I frowned.

"What? I don't think so." I said, shaking my head.

"Fine! If I prove this, then will you go and talk to her directly without doing another stunt?" she asked challenging me.

"Fine!" I said, accepting it and we both discussed what to do the next morning.

"I shouldn't have asked for your help." I mumbled shaking my head.

"But you did and I will help you for her." She said, shrugging and I just stared ahead thinking what to do next.

"Don't be so smug for being right in this." I said glaring at her.

"Don't be so rude just because your work finished." She asked folding her hands.

"Welcome to the family, Amrin." I said forwarding my hand which she shook smiling.

"We will see about that." She said, shaking her head making me frown.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, to which she again gave a small head shake before walking away.

I turned back to stare at the shore and started thinking what exactly have I said to make her lose the whole faith in this marriage and so distant from me in her feelings.

I wish I can remember every word, I said to her because I don't want to lose her. I found love again, and I want to keep it with me without losing it.

I need to confess to her my love which I should have done way before when I was feeling the restlessness when she was not near me for so much time and then when I felt jealous feeling some other guy admiring her like that.

I love her, and I need to tell her this today itself. I smiled to myself before turning around and walked inside the resort waiting for everyone to return.

*Amrin Pov*

I sat on the bed hugging my knees to my chest thinking what should I do now. It hurt so much when he thought I was with my sister in all this, and that it is my fault to even wish for my family to be with me.

"Amrin! I just fell in love with the church and wish to marry there again, but this time how will Tanmai be for a groom." Nipuna said, barging inside the room, and I gave her a small chuckled before sitting properly.

"Now, why is the bride, so dull? If it is about Tajwar, then just ignore him, which I always do." She added sitting before me.

"He is a nice guy." I said, shrugging and her eyes widened.

"Really? Well, then there is hope in Mridula's life. Now, will you check your dress after the changes for tomorrow morning?" she asked and I shook my head in negative.

"Something happened today morning, Nipuna. I feel... I feel like we are rushing the wedding." I said holding her hand.

"Did you meet his other ex? God! I can't believe he has them all over India." She said shaking her head.

"No! He just doubted on the trust he has over me along with nonsense accusations." I mumbled.

"Ok! Do you love him?" she asked in a serious tone to which I nodded.

"Do you think he loves you?" she asked again.

"Yes! I know he really loves me, and it's not some fake or anything else." I replied in a confident tone.

"Then you need not to worry at all. See, in any couple's life, there will be these fighting. Now, I have neck deep anger on Aahil at this moment." She started explaining, and I listened to her keenly.

"However, I do not want to leave him alone and just stay away. It is not like I can't live without his protection or something because I can earn, and I have my sources, but I won't do it because the love we have for each other just ties me down and make us pass this dangerous moment soon." She added, and I frowned nodding slowly.

"So, now you can leave him, but again, you will have similar even though not alike problems with another person. When will we settle if we keep running with a single hardship? Now, think whether you want to get tied down to him or not keeping the anger or pain aside for some time." She said and I slowly took a deep breath.

"I want to marry him. But you gave a great speech." I said in an amused tone.

"I just got the same class from Aunty, who gave the same speech." She said grinning at me.

"However, I will tell you one extra thing which she didn't tell me. Don't forget the anger over him until he earned it. Torture him as much as you can, Amrin. And in any way possible." She added with a smirk, and I laughed at her.

"So, where is that dress you are talking about?" I asked, and she sighed in relief before bringing the dress from the coffee table.

*Mridula Pov*

"Just a single girl changed the atmosphere of everything." I heard uncle commenting when I was about to enter the common area.

"Yes! Everyone was happy, and she killed it. No one is anymore, giving away smiles when the guests are reaching the place we booked for them. It doesn't seem like there is a wedding tomorrow at all." Aunty said in a sad tone, and I immediately stepped inside.

"It will feel a little different Aunty. Everyone is keen on to know how the wedding will happen as it is nearly new for all of us." I said smiling at her.

"Maybe you are right." She said, nodding and I sat at my place waiting for others to join for dinner.

"Amrin and Nipuna will have food at Amrin's room as Dileep shouldn't look at her." Aunty explained when everyone reached except them both.

"I will also have food with them." I said, getting up and walked away without meeting his eyes.

"Like you said, he will be tortured. So, no shopping, for these clothes." I heard Amrin's voice when I entered the room to see her wearing the gown.

"Why will he be tortured?" I asked them frowning.

"A couple fight!" Nipuna replied, smiling at me, and I smiled back before taking Aahna into my arms.

"All the guests are here." I said, smiling at Amrin.

"Of course! I just don't deserve to even wish for my family with me right." She suddenly said in a hard tone before covering her face.

"Don't mind her! Your best friend did a troll over her again regarding something." Nipuna said, and I nodded sighing.

"I am really hungry. I will change my dress and let's have dinner." Amrin said, smiling at us before changing the dress behind the blinds and walked near to us.

"So, will you stay here with us?" Nipuna asked when we washed our hands.

"No! I mean... I think it would be better if she sleeps in her room as we all need proper sleep in the proper place." Amrin said giving us a smile.

"I can ask for another bed from the management." Nipuna said frowning at her.

"Like I said, it would be good for her to go to her room." Amrin said, glaring at Nipuna after which she stood quiet.

"Yeah! I will go." I said, walking near the door.

"I am sorry about this, but this is important for you." Amrin said, smiling before closing the door at my back while I just gave her a small nod.

"What happened to you?" I asked Dileep, who is sitting outside his room door.

"I kind of messed up." He replied shaking his head and smiled at me.

"You can always fix." I mumbled before walking near to my room and entered to see him sleeping peacefully.

I shrugged off the small coat before walking near to the washroom and stared at the mirror. I shook my head before picking out the small box from the bag of bathroom items of mine and took out the pill.

Before I could take it inside, I heard the words, making me still in my place and glance at the image in the mirror before me.

"What is it, Mriudula?" Tajwar asked frowning.

I closed my mouth, but didn't move not knowing what to even do. He took the box from the basin and stared at it.

"Is this really yours?" he asked after a few minutes.

I nodded slowly before taking the tablet in which I was holding and turned around to gaze at him.

"When did you start?" he asked, staring at me.

"The day when Aahna born." I replied in a whisper, and he immediately took a step back.

"You mean the day when I asked you regarding the starting of our family? You could have said no directly to me, Mridula. Why did you do this and hid it from me? You made me think you too want the same. Why did you do it, Mridula?" he asked in the end shaking me by holding my shoulders.

"Because it is the right thing to do." I shouted before pushing his hands away.

"What?" he asked, frowning and I gave him a humorless chuckle.

"Yes! It was more than a right thing to do. We are not ready for a baby, and we will never be and mainly you. You will never understand this, and I don't have enough energy to make you understand when I let go of everything, Tajwar." I replied sighing.

"Why do you think I will never be ready?" he asked frowning more at me.

"Because it is the truth. Did you ever hold me except when we were having sex? Did we ever sleep other than at the ends of the bed because of your suffocation and fear? I am normal with it for now and maybe will for some more time. However, a baby cannot survive with that. It has to be held and assured that it will be given all the love we can. All this can never be given by you." I replied, taking deep breaths in the middle and stared at him.

"You don't even think you can love again in your life, even after nearly three years. Then how will you love a baby? Do you think I can bear this loveless marriage forever, Tajwar? I don't even want to bear this pain, but I am staying here just for the promise, I did to my mother of never doing something going against Aunty's wishes. I don't want a baby with the mindset we both have and the way our lives are. I will make sure we don't have one." I said, opening the box and started holding the remaining pills, but they were pushed away from my hand before I could say anything.

Then he suddenly pulled me into his arms before holding me tightly while I let go of all the barriers and cried in his arms.

He lifted me after a few minutes and walked near to the bed before placing me on it and joined me. He again pulled me into his arms, and I snuggled into his hold not able to stop the tears.

I am crying for the phase we reached by ourselves and for the hurt he must be feeling with my words and my actions when I indirectly told him he was unsuitable to be a father to any child.

"Shh..." he mumbled, rubbing my back, but hasn't released me, and then I felt wetness near my forehead making me realize he is also crying.

I wish I can move and tell him I am sorry for my words and not cry like this, but I couldn't move except to hug him back with a hold resembling his.

*Third Person Pov*

Amrin walked down the aisle alone with a bright smile just thinking about the happy moments she had which are more than she can count and Dileep received her with a relief, letting go of fear thinking how messed he had created from a simple situation.

Nipuna felt happy for her friend and ignored the husband who is trying his best to get her attention as he didn't have a word with her for more than a whole day.

Mridula is hoping the makeup she has over her face didn't show everyone the shadows below her eyes along with Tajwar's. She doesn't even know what to feel as they woke up still holding each other and got ready without exchanging a single word.

Tajwar couldn't help but have her words telecasted repeatedly in his head not knowing what to even feel about all this except the few tears he shed for her but about his feelings, he is still unclear what to think.

All this is not hidden from Premila and Abhivanth, who are holding Aahna and wishing they have something to make everything right for their children.

As it was Goa and that too a church wedding, many of the relatives and friends didn't attend, which was known by Premila even before thinking about the wedding here.

"We are thinking of giving a reception for the guests who missed the wedding near our place, and we can return today if you both wish." Premila said when everyone returned to the resort and the bride, let go of happy moments for now as she doesn't have any energy right now to hide the anger and pain.

"Ok!" Amrin said, nodding at her before walking near to her room when she got informed about the flight within a few hours.

"So, you are really going to torture him?" Nipuna asked while helping Amrin out of her dress and Mridula was busy with packing and helping everyone's clothes.

"I don't know! I don't even know how much strength I have to even torture him." Amrin replied honestly before changing her dress, and Nipuna wore the dress which she already placed in Amrin's room.

"Thank you for packing my clothes, Mridula." Nipuna said while Aahil frowned as he thought he could meet her when she is packing.

They all got in the van after bidding their bye to Tanmai, who as well kept quiet feeling the tension between everyone.

When they were traveling to here from the airport, they were laughing and talking but now there is nothing but silence except for the curious eyes of Aahna suddenly welling up and giving a slight cry.

"I am here!" Nipuna said, rocking her and she calmed down within a few minutes.

Nipuna is still surprised, thinking how scared was she when she was pregnant and now her baby seems to love her and listen to her. What else she needs?

With each sound from the baby, Tajwar and Mridula couldn't help but get the previous night words into their heads.

Even during the journey and then after reaching the home, everyone is completely different. Small rituals are performed before making Amrin enter her new room, which is Dileep's.

That was another night, which was spent with distance, even after being near to each other with no one having any idea regarding what to actually do.
