Two weeks had passed since the whirlwind of exams, and Jhavni was finally able to breathe. The heavy weight of deadlines and study sessions was lifted off her shoulders, and for the first time in weeks, she felt light and free. She decided to spend her break focusing on what mattered most—her family. She split her time between Shourya, her in-laws, and, of course, herself. Her mother-in-law, Nisha, was overjoyed to have her around. Shourya’s parents, especially his mother, Nisha, adored her, and Jhavni loved spending time with them, feeling every bit like the daughter they never had.

The exam results were out, her results had arrived earlier in the day and while Jhavni had performed exceptionally well overall, there was one subject—economics—that had dimmed her joy.The grades weren’t terrible, but they weren’t as good as her other subjects—and she knew exactly why. And who was responsible for this.

Her professor husband.

Her very own sarcastic, overly meticulous professor husband, who had apparently graded her paper with all the strictness in the world.
