FINALLY (Krish's POV)

I was arranging the table when Megha entered the house. She was gorgeous as usual. The red saree which I had bought for her hugged her body making her look more elegant. The mild makeup and light pink blush on her cheeks made added beauty to her. I missed her more than how much I loved her.

Aaradh came walking to me as soon as he spot me. I lift him with a wide smile, kissed all over his face, and greeted everyone.

Sahana hugged me. I missed this kid so much. I missed her giggles, her stubbornness, her talks, and the way she gave hard time to Mathew. I kneeled down in front of her and hugged her after giving Aaradh to Akash.

I observed a man, clingy to Megha all the time. Is he the person she went on date with? They were too touchy and romantic with each other and the beast of jealousy was growing inside me. I had no other go but shut the jealousy every time. He was her boyfriend, he had all the right to touch her and I shouldn't get all these feelings. I lost my last strand of patience when they both started dancing. His hands were around her waist, the place where only I can touch. Why was he dancing so close to her, I am the only person who can be that close to her.

I pushed him away from her. I yelled at him and created a nuisance there. I announced that Megha is only mine and dragged her with me into our bedroom. I wonder now what an idiot I was, who couldn't have any control over my emotions. If I had thought twice before screaming and accusing her, she wouldn't have been near any men. It was all my mistake. I push the door close and lock it. She looks beautifully sad. I was looking at her after six months. She looked like she had lost weight and her eyes prominently showed that she has cried a lot. If depression had a form it would surely look like her. I wonder how she has handled the sadness as well as played the role of a mother. I again failed to keep her happy. Maybe Mathew was right I did not deserve an angel like her.

"I am sorry", I said falling on my knees in front of her.

"For what?", she asked and her eyes meet mine.

"Megha, I am so sorry for blaming you. For telling such harsh words to you. You don't deserve to hear those. I am so sorry baby for everything I have done wrong to you. You have no idea how much I have missed you all these months"

"I have no idea, Krish seriously", she said sarcastically"You have no idea what you put me through. You have no idea how your words sucked the soul out of me. You have no idea how much I missed you. You called me a murderer Krish, you said that I am a mother who killed her own unborn daughter. I was in as much as pain you were in. Even though I had lost my daughter, I had carried her in my womb for eight long months Krish. I know at that moment if the rod hadn't hit me she would have survived. But, do expect me to stand and watch while he was above to hit you? No way I will do it, saving you was my priority and that is why I stepped there. I am sure you would have done the same if you were in my place", she said. I clench my teeth, and stare at the ground I had no strength to look at her and gasp a huge breath. I shake my head slowly and wipe the stubborn tears which escaped my eyes. She held my chin and forced me to look up at her. The anger in her eyes disappeared now her face looked like she was upset.

"All I needed was a 'sorry' and 'I love you' from you. Those words would have healed everything", she said

"I am sorry, baby", I said

"I never stopped loving you", she said pulling up to my feet

I stretch my hands and asked, "Can I hug you?"

She nodded timidly and hugged me.

"I missed you so much. I have never hated you. It was all anger Megha. Those words were just an impulse. I'm sorry. I will never hurt you ever again", I said and sniffed kissed her hair, and nuzzled in the crook of her neck. The familiarity of her touch made me feel complete. I missed this. I missed the warmth I feel around her. The void in my heart at last disappeared. What will I do if I don't have this beautiful woman in my life? I pulled her closer and her soft hands roamed on my back. Suddenly, I remembered that she was here with a guy. She has a boyfriend. I need to know about that first now. I pulled back from the hug. I stood close enough to her holding her elbows.

"So, you are here with a boyfriend?", I whispered in her ear. I tried to sound as casual as possible.

"Is it a problem, if I am here with a boyfriend?", she asked lifting her eyebrows. She was playing, damn she looks pretty. The playful tone of her voice penetrates through my ears to all parts of my body and rises heat inside me. Suddenly the atmosphere is hot, I feel the heat despite the turned on the air conditioner. I swallow the lump which formed in my throat and said, "Yes"

"Pranay is a very good, handsome, and perfect man", she said.

Jealousy takes over me. I can't take it when she praises some other man in front of me. I pull her into a tight embrace.

"No one other than me can be this close to you. No one other than me can call you baby. No one other than me can be your boyfriend, husband, or anything. Nobody other than me can love you. You can't love anyone other than me", I said in a warning tone. She started laughing which confused me. I know that I had neither cracked a joke nor said something comical.

"Pranay is a boyfriend, but Akash's not mine, she said laughing

So Pranay was Akash's boyfriend. That colleague that Akash has been rambling about for the past few weeks. Then why was he here as Megha's boyfriend?

"What was happening here?", I asked in confusion

"It was all Mathew's plan", she said and kissed my forehead.

After a few minutes of enjoying each other's warmth, we walked out of our room. The whole family was gawking at us like a hawk. Megha intertwined her fingers with mine and shouted, "MY HUSBAND LOVES ME".

Everyone started squeaking and shouting.

"This is your last chance, Mr. Krish Malhotra. If you hurt my sister again then I will break your bones and take sister away from you forever", Mathew said.

"I will never hurt her, brother-in-law", I said and kissed the side of Megha's head. Pranay and Akash hugged each other for a few seconds and then walked to me.

"Actually he is my boyfriend", Akash said with his cheeks turning pink. I never knew that this boy could also get shy and blush.

"Stop blushing, it is giving me chills", I mocked and earned a slap on my arm from Megha. I missed getting hit by her. Everything was back to normal now. My family was reunited at last after a long time.
