79Chapter 79 – Love Restored

Poornima was slowly healing—her strength returning day by day, her laughter coming back in fragments, and her eyes shining with life once more. Veeresh watched her every morning, smiling as he kissed her gently, his lips brushing her forehead, cheeks, and sometimes just holding her hand against his lips. Each small gesture was a silent promise: I’m here. Always.

His parents watched with quiet pride, their hearts swelling at the sight of their son and daughter-in-law’s love, so strong and unbreakable even after the most trying times.

One quiet night, as the city lights flickered outside the penthouse windows, Veeresh drew Poornima close on the couch. His voice was soft but steady.

“Poornima… there’s something I need to tell you. About the coma… you nearly didn’t make it. There were moments when I didn’t know if you’d open your eyes again.”

Her hands trembled slightly as she looked at him, tears brimming. “Veer… I… I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to… trouble you, make you suffer.”

Veeresh cupped her face, his thumb brushing away a stray tear. “Never, Mrs. Raj. You’re mine. All of you—your heart, your soul, our baby… you are mine. And nothing, not even the worst fate, could ever take you from me.”

He leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her lips, then her forehead, lingering in the warmth of the moment. “I love you, Poornima. I always have. I always will.”

Poornima wrapped her arms around him, feeling his steady heartbeat, the reassuring weight of his presence. A soft smile spread across her face, tears of relief and joy mingling. “I love you too, Veer,” she whispered.

In that quiet penthouse, their arms entwined, the world outside faded. All that mattered was the life they had fought for—their love, their son, and the unbreakable bond of their hearts.

Veeresh pressed a final kiss to her hair and whispered, “Forever, Mrs. Raj. You and me… always.”

And in that embrace, both of them finally felt complete, safe, and truly home.
