Mallika's POV

Hey! All it's one year without him. Today is the silvery night of Karwa Chauth and tomorrow will be our Marriage Anniversary. He may be married to someone else by now but that's better for him. He won't even remember me by now. He will be happy and that's what I want. Maa and Baba are expecting him to come tomorrow and celebrate One year of our Marriage. What should I answer them that he may be married to someone or I don't matter to him. Hey, Krishna save me. I have kept a fast but I was denying to do the pooja as he is not there to break my fast and so I had decided that I will eat directly the next day. So that no one would matter it.

Wait let me tell u my wear today so I am wearing a yellow color ghagra with a nose pin, tika, bindi, bangles, earrings, and all my accessories are floral as I like flowers.

"Maa u do ur pooja first" I pleased

"Maa u do ur pooja first" I pleased

"Ok I will do it and then me and ur baba will go, u have ur own time," She said making me sigh in relief.

She started with her pooja and soon ended with it. She and baba then made their way down the terrace and I was left alone with tears brimming in my eyes. I started with my pooja. But before that, I unlocked my phone and opened Sumedh's pic in the gallery. "He cute" I thought.

Firstly, I prayed to the moon for his good health and his happiness. The poem which made its way out my mouth was

"He the moon is shining as bright as ur smile did,
He is the one signifying my love towards u,
The past year was miserable for me,
Maybe not for u.

Yet the moon and my heart both are calling u,
On this silvery night of Karwa Chauth,
For me the love I poses for u isn't a sin,
Or any kind of fault.

It's pure as a Ganga,
It's sweet as honey,
After experiencing the separation,
For me Love isn't about having a physical relation,
Nor about competing each other hunger,

It's just about searching our happiness in the smile,
Of the one we love,
Peoples talk doesn't seem greater to me than ur happiness
This moon is promising me to keep u happy in my absence too.

Maybe u are married to someone else,
It's none of your mistake,
It's just about our destiny who didn't wish to see us together,
May your destiny bless u with happiness belonging to me too.

Dont forget to carry ur smile everywhere u go,
As it describes me more than any other thing can,
God broke us apart u don't know it yet,
Maybe u won't know it too.

I don't want u to know it rather,
As it may break u yet I will say,
One will always find u in me,
And me in u."

I saw the moon through a sieve and then was about to take it to my phone but was stopped by a hand. The hand-pulled my hand up and I was shocked to see Sumedh through the sieve. Am I dreaming is he Sumedh my Sumedh. Tears were flowing through my eyes. I blinked my eyes several times just to confirm it was him. But each time I opened my eyes I saw him standing there.

"Sumedh" I said in trembling voice

"Yes Mikku" He said nodding

I touched his hand and then took my hand down. I pinched myself just to confirm once again. "Ahhh!" I groaned. He was smiling warmly looking at me.

"Why did u come in between I was going to look at my husband na" I said hiding the truth

"If the husband is standing in front then there is no need of looking at his photo in the gallery," He said winking.

I looked at him in disbelief but he looked down and started

" Mrs Mallika Sumedh Mudgalkar. U left me alone just for my happiness. I know I had forgotten u but do u remember the accident which took place in front of your house a week ago" He questioned and I nodded in approval.

" U didn't see but that time a boy fainted it was me, the accident was the same which happened with me 11 months ago. The whole scene flashed in front of my eyes at that time. I fainted with that. Tunisha and Sanskruti then took me to the hospital. They were with me as we were returning from a party. At the hospital when I gained my consciousness. Tunisha talked to me and then I realized that I had forgotten u. I was about to come to u at the same time but Tunisha stopped me and so I came to u today" He completed and also made me drink water breaking my fast.

I looked at him with teary eyes but he wiped them off with his thumb.

"How did u come here did Maa and Baba take u in" I questioned wiping his tears

" No they don't know yet, I came up with help of a ladder halfway and then claimed up the pipe" I said raising his fake collar

" Are u mad, idiot, what if u had got hurt "

" Are but I didn't na" He said shrugging

I hit him on his shoulder and was about to beat him again but he held my hand and knelled down.

"As these Diyas light up the sky, You lit up my life. Like the sun. Even though you didn't like me when we were forcefully married, I really loved you. You were there during my worst times and I wanna be there during your worst times, there to help you go through it and all. When I was in not with u, I really missed you because I loved you. So Mallika........" He said forwarding his hand

"Aww, Sumi! I love you too!!" I said tears flowing from my eyes

He smiles. He took out the box from my pocket and got on one knee. I let out a squeal when I realized it and he laughed at my silliness. He slipped the ring in my finger and. The ring was of Rose Gold colour i kissed it jumping in joy.

"So Mallika, Will you marry me once again? " He questioned and i nodded in approval while jumping in joy

He got up after receiving my approval and pulled me for a tight hug. We stay in the same position for quite some time. We separated and we're looking deep into each other's eyes. Our faces were get attracted towards each other like a magnet but a voice came

"Mallika beta are u done with ur pooja" It's mom

"Yeah Maa coming" I said sheepishly

We walked out the terrace and ase our way down through the stairs.
