Epilogue – Forever, Mrs. Raj

Months had passed since the storm of danger, betrayal, and loss. Poornima had fully regained her strength and memory, her laughter now ringing through the penthouse like music. Veeresh watched her every day with quiet admiration, sometimes teasing, sometimes just holding her hand in public, always leaving little gestures of love that made her heart flutter.

Their son had grown into a lively little boy, already curious about the world, tugging at Veeresh’s sleeve and crawling into Poornima’s lap with pure trust. Every morning, Veeresh would watch them together, feeling a surge of protective pride and overwhelming joy.

“Good morning, my little family,” Veeresh would greet, kissing Poornima’s forehead and ruffling their son’s hair. Poornima would laugh softly, pressing a kiss to Veeresh’s cheek, whispering, “You’re the reason I’m happy, Veeresh.”

Evenings were their special time. Veeresh would cook something simple or order their favorite food, and they’d all eat together, sharing stories of the day. Poornima’s head would often rest on Veeresh’s shoulder, their fingers entwined. Sometimes, their son would sneak little kisses or babble things that made both of them laugh uncontrollably.

Veeresh never stopped claiming her in small, sweet ways—kisses on the cheek, whispered confessions of love, playful touches that made her blush. Poornima, in turn, showered him with her warmth and affection, her love unwavering, steady, and deep.

One quiet night, Veeresh pulled her close as they sat on the balcony, looking over the city lights. “Poornima,” he murmured, brushing a strand of hair from her face, “all the struggles, all the fights, all the waiting… it was all worth it. Because we’re here. Together. And I get to wake up to you every day.”

She smiled, resting her head against his chest. “Veeresh… I don’t need grand words or promises anymore. I have you, and our son, and this… this life. You’ve made me feel safe, loved, and complete.”

Veeresh pressed a soft kiss to her temple. “And you’ve made me the happiest man alive, Mrs. Raj. Forever, remember? You’re mine. Always.”

Their son gurgled happily, and both of them laughed, the sound carrying into the night, echoing a home filled with love, security, and unshakeable happiness.

In that moment, nothing else mattered. The past had been conquered, the present cherished, and the future—bright, promising, and theirs—stretched endlessly ahead.

Veeresh held Poornima close, their fingers laced, hearts beating in sync, as the city around them faded. They were together. Complete. Forever.

The End.
