Epilogue
Shajan's POV:
"How is Varsha?" I said.
"She is fine," Abhi said.
"Only fine?"
"I don’t get you, Shajan."
"You know that Varsha loves you, right?"
"What?"
"Yes, she loves you a lot. Though she knows that you don’t love her, she married you in the hope that you will accept her as your wife one day. I'm sorry to get involved in your personal life, but I am concerned about you and Varsha. Even though you love Khushi, she is married now and she is happy with her life.
It's really very rare to get the people who love us a lot. Khushi doesn't love you, but Varsha loves you. Please take care of her and don’t make the same mistake that I did. It's horrible to hurt the ones who love us."
Abhi left silently. In the evening, Khushi took me to an old-age home. She showed an aged woman to me. I lost my temper upon seeing her and left, followed by Khushi.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Don’t you know?"
"I am an orphan, and the only one I have in my life is you. That's it. I don’t want anyone else, and I can’t forgive her. She is the one who is responsible for all the bitterness I've experienced in my life."
"Jan, she is your mom. How can you say that you have no one except me?"
"She is not my mom. She is the one who cheated my father and is responsible for his suicide," I shouted at Khushi.
"Stop it, Shajan. What do you know about her? It's true that she loved someone and married your dad because of her parents. After that she dedicated her entire life to your father. But your father's younger brother intentionally polluted your dad’s mind for the sake of property and he abducted your mom. He spread a rumor that your mom eloped with someone she loved. Your dad, without knowing the facts, committed suicide. Your mom, after learning this, killed your uncle and was in jail until now. Do you know who Mr. Sanjay is?"
"Sanjay? Are you talking about the one who handed my property over to me? After leaving college, I went to Mumbai. There, Mr. Sanjay met with an accident, and I saved him. After that, he told me that he knew me and handed over my dad's property."
"Didn’t you think it was funny? How was he able to recognize you after such a long time? Anyways, I will make it clear to you.
He is the one your mom loved before her marriage. Your mom asked for his help to find you. He searched for you and finally found you. He handed your property over to you, and he left India."
I understood the facts and went to my mom. I hugged her, and we brought her to our home.
Abhi sent a video to me, and I watched it.
Abhi reached his home and called Varsha. He sat on his knees with a bouquet of red roses in his hand. Varsha was surprised to see him like that.
"I love you, Varsha. Will you stay with me forever as my life partner?" Abhi said.
"I love you, Abhi," Varsha said.
Varsha hugged Abhi. I felt happy and sent a message congratulating both of them.
In my room, I saw Khushi staring at the moon through the window, and I hugged her from behind.
"My life totally changed because of you, Khushi. I got my mom, my sister, my friends, a new family, everything just because of you. You made me complete by taking away my loneliness. I love you," I said.
"I love you too."
Saying this, Khushi turned and kissed me on the forehead, then she realized what she had done. She tried to move away, feeling shy. I caught her hand and kissed her lips.
The next day, we went to Khushi's home for a festival. We all enjoyed being together. Abhi and Varsha started their married life. Khushi and I stayed in touch with Maya.
A true love changed my life completely. Khushi with her love and patience made my life happier and blessed.
