Veeresh’s POV — One Year of Us

It had only been one year since they had married—one year of chaos, fire, mistakes, and impossible love. Yet, standing here, watching Poornima smile as she blended effortlessly into the Raisinghania home, Veeresh felt something he hadn’t allowed himself to feel before: complete peace.

He had spent that year torn between revenge, anger, and the unexpected pull of his heart. He had pushed her, hurt her, tested her, and yet she stayed. She had stayed through his worst, through the darkness he had carried, and never wavered in her love for him.

Now, seeing her accepted by his parents, seeing her walk confidently with her head held high, Veeresh’s chest swelled—not with pride, but with gratitude. I am the luckiest man alive, he thought. She chose me, even after all I put her through.

Her happiness was his. Every soft smile, every laugh, every little glance that held trust and love—he cherished them all. His hand found her waist as naturally as breathing, holding her close, feeling the warmth that had become his anchor.

The way she kissed him back, without fear, without hesitation, filled him with a quiet certainty. He had once believed love could be won with dominance, control, revenge—but now he understood: love was patient, enduring, and sometimes forgiving even the darkest parts of a person.

He leaned down, pressed a soft kiss to her forehead, and whispered quietly, almost to himself, “You’re mine… and I will never let anything take you away.”

Even after everything, in just one year, she had become his world. And he knew, without a doubt, that no force—no past, no family feud, no mistake—could change that.

Because Poornima was his. And he would spend every moment proving that she had never been wrong to believe in him.
